Chapter 187 When things can't get any worse, are you no longer afraid of any threats?
Victoria returned to the office. Chloe said, "Victoria, I want to apply to participate in the project of the Matthew Company."
Victoria was first stunned, then smiled, "You already knew before I even said it, forgetting your relationship with Mr. Blake. I wouldn't have thought of letting you participate if you hadn't mentioned it. Since you want to join, let's do this project well. Tomorrow, go to 'Aurora Investments' to get the materials."
Chloe nodded. "Okay." She finished up her work for the day and continued in the afternoon with her diary in hand to Donovan's office for extra lessons. After handing in her diary, Donovan, as usual, was busy with his own affairs and didn't look at it.
But today, Chloe was absent-minded, constantly thinking about her mother's words, and couldn't focus. It wasn't until Charles knocked on the table.
"Mrs. Blake, we are in class. Can a free teacher be treated like this? You don't pay. Someone else pays for you." Charles, who never minced his words, also had a hint of joking in his tone.
Chloe stole a glance at Donovan and found him staring at her. She suddenly realized that she was the bad student reported to the head teacher by the subject teacher. Now, the head teacher was staring at her sternly. Chloe had to slowly shift her focus back to her books.
On the way home, Donovan asked her, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
"Lying won't make your nose grow longer?" Chloe felt like Donovan used this metaphor every time as if coaxing a child.
"Then let my nose grow long. I'm not afraid as long as you're not afraid!" Chloe said somewhat defiantly.
Donovan glanced at her, "When things can't get any worse, are you no longer afraid of any punishment?"
Chloe muttered, "Who isn't afraid anymore?"
"What did you say?" Donovan furrowed his brow and asked.
"Nothing."
"Speak up. Maybe I can help you," Donovan said.
Chloe thought for a moment and then told Donovan about what Amelia had said to her last night. "I'm not the daughter of your savior, so now you can do whatever you want!" Chloe said with a reckless air.
"Is that so?" Donovan smiled instead, "Can I really do whatever I want?" Not being Todd's biological daughter lightened his burden.
"Yes," Chloe thought. Why was he so relaxed about it? And divorce or anything like that seemed to be of no concern to him.
Donovan glanced at Chloe, "When I do as I please tonight, don't complain."
Chloe thought to herself, why did he always bring that up? In the company, he was always in suits, serious and unsmiling, giving off an air of restraint that kept people at bay. But as soon as he saw Chloe, he transformed.
"By the way, Victoria asked me to bring the materials from 'Aurora Investments' tomorrow," Chloe changed the subject.
"I'll send you the location and Matthew's WhatsApp in a bit."
"Why not just send Matthew's directly? Can't you send it to someone in their finance department?" Chloe asked innocently.
"Don't worry about it." If he said not to worry, Chloe wouldn't ask, "What time tomorrow?"
"Victoria told me to just get the materials and then go to work. You can sleep in a bit tomorrow." Chloe suddenly smiled brightly.
Donovan looked at Chloe meaningfully, "So, what are you implying?" Chloe thought to herself, what was she implying? What could she imply? In front of Donovan, her intelligence wasn't implying but stating the obvious, right? She didn't have the courage to play games in front of Donovan.
However, that night, Donovan made Chloe understand what exactly "Chloe's implications" meant! Chloe nearly fainted in bed. As she drifted off to sleep, Donovan went downstairs to make a phone call.
