Chapter 198: Delicious?
Upon arriving at the audit department, Chloe looked around, checking for cameras, but she did not see any. She even asked Victoria about it.
"No! Installing cameras would be a violation of employee privacy. Mr. Blake wouldn't do such a thing," Victoria said. "Mario just reports everything to Mr. Blake."
"He's so nosy," Chloe remarked.
"When Ellie caused a scene, Mario intervened. Didn't you notice?" Victoria asked Chloe.
"No," Chloe replied.
"What were you paying attention to then?" Victoria a casually sked, already focused on her work.
Chloe didn't answer. She thought to herself, 'I was probably thinking about Brayden.'
After spending some time in the audit department, she had a feeling that everyone there was quite fair and would be discreet despite knowing everything. They were all quite refined and cultured, never gossiping as they understood that gossip was useless.
"Victoria, how do you see Donovan?" Although the audit department wasn't gossipy, Chloe's question wasn't aimed to gossip. It was borne out of curiosity.
"I can't speak ill of Mr. Blake in front of you." Victoria smiled. "Still, he is an excellent entrepreneur, bold, wise, mature, and very strategic! If he had a child, they would surely be outstanding!"
Victoria directed the last sentence at Chloe, making her blush.
Chloe felt like everyone in the company was now watching her womb. She detailed today's events in her diary, knowing that these words would be comforting to read in the future.
At around noon, before she had eaten, Chloe received a WhatsApp message from Donovan's grandfather.
Grandpa: [Chloe, Gordon and Clara are home. Do you want to mention it to Donovan?]
Chloe was unsure whether she should tell Donovan or what his reaction would be. After much thought, she felt she should talk to Donovan in person about it.
Chloe: [Let's have lunch together at noon, dear.]
When Donovan read Chloe's message, he sensed something was up.
Shortly after, Chloe's phone rang.
"Come to my office," he said.
"Okay."
Chloe went downstairs. Donovan's assistant had already ordered a lavish meal for him.
As Donovan sat on the couch, he beckoned Chloe over.
"Have they arrived?" Donovan asked Chloe.
Donovan's question had her on the back foot. Chloe nodded. "Yes. How did you know?"
"I guessed. Have you eaten?" he inquired.
"Not yet."
"Come, let's eat together."
Chloe silently moved over and sat beside him. She sensed Donovan was somewhat upset and remained silent. The air was a bit awkward.
Among the dishes Donovan ordered was a delicious corn soup. Chloe enjoyed it while he didn't drink much of it.
"This soup is really delicious," Chloe said, trying to break the awkward silence.
"Delicious?" he asked.
"Try some." Chloe pointed to the soup.
Donovan did not try the soup but leaned toward Chloe, tilting her chin up with his hand, and kissed her. The kiss lasted for a long time.
After releasing Chloe, he solemnly said, "It's delicious."
Chloe was left stunned for a while.
"Is it not delicious?" he asked, seeing Chloe's dazed expression.
"I-It is." Chloe finally snapped out of her daze. She had been completely captivated by Donovan's kiss.
He was too good at charming her. She even forgot why she had come to his office in the first place.
