Chapter 233 Come Here
After much contemplation, Chloe made a call to Donovan.
It was still her original phone number.
Donovan stared at the phone with "Chloe" displayed, pondering for a while.
He thought, 'Finally, she comes to me.'
"Mr. Blake, do you have time?" Chloe spoke on the phone, her face devoid of any expression.
"Have you returned?" Donovan teased her, "I had no idea."
"I've been back in the country for some time now, and I partnered up to establish a firm. We all need to make a living, don't we? But it seems that all the contracts I try to secure end up in your hands. I'm on the brink of financial loss. Mr. Blake, please grant me a way out."
Chloe knew that Donovan was well aware of her situation; otherwise, he wouldn't have targeted her so specifically.
"What's the name of your firm?" Donovan asked again.
"First accounting firm. A small firm, nothing special." Chloe only knew one meaning of First accounting firm, not the other.
Brayden thought she knew, but she hadn't even looked at the chat records with Brayden.
Donovan gritted his teeth and said, "I have time."
"How about I treat you to dinner and singing, Mr. Blake?" Chloe gritted her teeth but kept smiling.
"Eating, singing? Is this how you conduct business?" Donovan asked.
"Are you not willing?" Chloe said with a smile, "Mr. Blake, I'm inviting you while being five months pregnant. If you're not willing, I'm about to be out of a job."
"Where?"
"Starlight Melodies Lounge KTV. I'll treat, when are you available?" Chloe asked.
"After work."
"Then I'll book a room." Then, Chloe hung up.
Since becoming pregnant, Chloe felt her stomach had shrunk so much that she couldn't eat. She just had some soup at night and then took a taxi straight to Starlight Melodies Lounge.
On the way, she received a call from Paisley.
Upon hearing Chloe had returned, Paisley became anxious.
"Can I talk to you?" Paisley said.
"I'm not available right now," Chloe said.
"Not available? You're pregnant now; I presume it's Brayden's child you're carrying? Since you and Donovan are divorced, stop clinging to him. You wouldn't possibly be thinking of reconciling with him, would you? You're carrying another man's child! Donovan couldn't possibly reconcile with you." Paisley's tone towards Chloe had turned hostile.
"How do you know I'm entangled with him?" Chloe asked.
"I was sleeping with him when you called," Paisley said sarcastically, emphasizing "sleeping."
"Then I congratulate you on finally sleeping with Mr. Blake, Ms. Torres. Since I'm divorced from him, you don't have to worry anymore. I'm just going to talk to him about work. When I'm done, I'll come back," Chloe said before hanging up.
Her spirits instantly drooped.
She thought, 'I really hate Paisley.'
Donovan was already there when Chloe arrived at the KTV.
He had a cigarette in his hand, looking at Chloe through a mist of smoke.
Then he stubbed out the cigarette in the ashtray.
A very soothing music was playing in the private room, with a touch of melancholy.
After a long time, Donovan finally saw Chloe again.
This time, she looked much better than the last time she was at the hotel; she had returned to her former self.
His gaze couldn't help but drift towards Chloe's belly, which was quite large, not bloated, with the charm of a pregnant woman.
Donovan's body stiffened involuntarily.
"You're here?" His voice was hoarse as he greeted Chloe.
"Didn't you order some women to sing with you? Let me do it." After saying this, Chloe dialed the room's internal phone and asked the manager to bring some snacks.
Before long, the manager brought Chloe a tray of food. Behind him was a line of women dressed in bright and revealing clothes.
"Ma'am, please choose." The manager called her "Ma'am" upon seeing Chloe pregnant.
"Mr. Blake, you choose." Chloe turned to Donovan and said with a smile, "They are here to accompany you, not me."
Her smile was genuine, very sincere.
Donovan glanced casually and chose two women.
These two women sat on either side of Donovan and started singing.
Chloe sat on the side, eating snacks. She loved those preserved plums, which were sour and delicious. She finished one pack and had the manager bring several more.
Of course, when entertaining guests, one had to make the clients comfortable first, improve their mood, and then discuss business. Once the other party had been catered, it was hard to refuse.
Donovan didn't sing, with his face remaining stern.
He noticed Chloe continuously munching on those plums.
After about an hour, the two women beside Donovan left, leaving only Donovan and Chloe in the private room.
"Come here," Donovan said.
His sudden words brought Chloe back from her snack eating..
