Chapter 181 What did Mrs. Blake buy for Mr. Blake?
Chloe returned home and saw Donovan sitting on the sofa. She hurriedly put the gift bag into her canvas bag. Although not a precious gift, it was still a heartfelt gesture from her. Donovan knew well that the revelation would only come tomorrow, so he didn't press for it tonight. Just as Chloe was about to go upstairs, she was stopped by Donovan's "Wait."
"What's up?" Chloe looked at him with round eyes.
"I have a gift for you."
"A gift for me?" Chloe was somewhat puzzled and couldn't understand, "Isn't tomorrow your birthday? Why are you giving me a gift?"
"Don't you know what day it is today?" Donovan furrowed his brow slightly. "Today is the day before your birthday."
"Did you and Andrew celebrate it?" Chloe thought carefully for a moment before remembering that today was Valentine's Day. She had always thought they were in a contractual marriage, as the first and second parties, not as "lovers." Describing them as "lovers" felt awkward to her, and it sparked some fanciful thoughts in Chloe's mind.
Andrew was not a romantic person. On Valentine's Day, he didn't say much, didn't give flowers, but would reserve a seat for her in advance buy her breakfast, lacking any sense of ceremony, which led Chloe to forget about this day.
"What gift?" Chloe couldn't help but feel expectant, her heart as if holding a little rabbit, her eyes innocent and happy, smiling like a crescent moon.
"I got you a financial cost management tutor!"
"Who?" Chloe was extremely surprised. Was this a Valentine's Day gift?
"Charles."
Chloe's eyes darkened. "Did he pass the CPA exam?"
Donovan's gaze narrowed, extremely mocking. "Don't trust my hiring decisions?"
Chloe knew he was very subtle and might not want to mention "Brayden's" name at all. Afraid that he might explode at any moment, Chloe agreed, "Okay."
"After work, every day, come to my office. He'll help you review for an hour. Once you pass this exam, you'll be an auditor, and the audit department is short-staffed," Donovan said casually.
Chloe was speechless. Was he giving her this? Was this a gift for her or for himself? Because the audit department was short-staffed, so he was giving himself an auditor!
When Chloe returned upstairs, she took out her diary. Today was Friday, and Donovan allowed Chloe to hand in the diary on Monday. She opened the notebook and wrote fiercely: “Donovan, this jerk!” She also wrote about what happened at the mall today. She decided that no matter how Paisley caused trouble, she would find a way to resolve it!
The next day was Donovan's birthday, and Paisley indeed showed up. Paisley first placed Donovan's gift on the table.
"Donovan, happy birthday to you, wishing you happiness every year and success every day."
Her gift was a Patek Philippe watch worth tens of thousands. Donovan just glanced at it and said lightly, "Thank you."
"Oh, last time I was at your place, I saw Maya working so hard. I wanted to buy something for Maya, but she lacks nothing, so I didn't know what to buy. After thinking about it, I could only buy a gift for her husband. These two belts are for him." After speaking, Paisley took out two belts. Belts identical to Chloe's.
So, how could Chloe present her gift now? Chloe understood that Barbara must have wanted to see her embarrassed, deliberately having Paisley buy the exact same belts as hers. Chloe experienced helping someone today, only to be repaid with such despicable behavior. She had wanted to help Barbara, but Barbara had schemed against her like this.
Seeing Chloe sitting stiffly there, Paisley was very pleased. "For your husband's birthday, what did Mrs. Blake buy?"
"What about your gift?" Donovan asked Chloe.
"I..."
