Chapter 248 The Good Place for a Mistress
Coming out of Elevate Structures Group, Chloe was gloomy.
It was only 3 p.m. when the car arrived near her home.
"Let's get off and drink something," Chloe said to Maya, seeing Brew Haven Cafe at the community's entrance.
They got out of the car.
After Maya ordered a cup of hot milk for Chloe, she asked Chloe to sit by the window.
"Chloe, take a rest. I'll go to the supermarket behind to buy some groceries. Please wait here." After saying that, Maya went to buy groceries.
Chloe stirred the milk, unable to hide her fatigue, and being questioned by Sharon, she felt ashamed.
She lowered her head, feeling a bit disheartened and annoyed.
She knew that it wasn't just Sharon who questioned her, and she remembered the questioning voices in the company group chat the last time.
That sentence probably represented the thoughts of all her colleagues.
After work, Donovan drove to Brew Haven Cafe.
"Is that Mrs. Blake in Brew Haven Cafe?" Charles, sitting next to Donovan, asked.
Donovan also saw her, "Yes."
"What's wrong with her?" Charles saw Chloe touching her forehead, stirring the milk weakly, looking very low in spirits.
"I don't know. Drive." Donovan told the driver.
The car drove straight into the community.
After finishing the milk, Chloe tried to cheer up. She remembered that the HR department of New East Group rejected her resume last time when she wanted to join the audit department. However, when she went directly to Mario, she received a different outcome.
It was like what Sofia had said, "Ordinary places have strict requirements, while good places are more understanding."
Chloe looked up Gary Collins, the president of Elevate Structures Group, on the internet and called him directly.
Gary claimed to be busy and asked Chloe to contact Sharon for any matters.
Chloe didn't mention that Sharon had already rejected her.
Hearing the sound of the call being hung up on her phone, Chloe felt even more discouraged.
To Gary, she was just a salesperson from a small firm, and most bosses would find such people annoying.
Before Chloe could finish her milk, Maya returned.
"Let's go," Chloe said.
"Chloe, you haven't finished your milk yet." Maya saw that there was still a lot left in Chloe's cup.
"Never mind. I'm not in the mood," Chloe replied.
When they returned home, Chloe was surprised to see Charles there.
Donovan had clocked out at some unknown point.
Maya went to the kitchen to cook.
"Mr. Wilson, you're here!" Since Chloe had been taught by Charles before, she had a good impression of him.
"What's the due date?" Charles stared at Chloe's belly and asked her.
"May. But the doctor said twins might come early." Chloe sat on the sofa chatting with Charles.
Chloe held a cushion in front of her chest.
Donovan went to the kitchen.
Chloe thought he was going to see what to eat for dinner, so she didn't pay much attention.
"What happened today?" Donovan asked Maya.
While cutting vegetables, Maya said, "In the morning, Chloe went to Green Earth Solutions Company and came out quite happy. But in the afternoon, she went to another company and came out in low spirits."
"Elevate Structures Group?" Donovan asked.
Maya paused while cutting vegetables, answering, "It seems to be that name."
Donovan went to his bedroom and made a few calls. When he came out, he had changed into his housecoat.
Everyone sat at the dining table.
"Donovan, I didn't know you had another house here. Indeed, you pay attention to security." Charles looked around the house, saying, "This house is indeed a good place to hide a mistress."
"There are many things you don't know," Donovan said to Charles.
Chloe kept eating and didn't pay much attention to their conversation. Then, she suddenly asked Charles, "Mr. Wilson, what's your education background?"
"I hold a Ph.D. Anything less and I wouldn't be worthy to be your teacher."
"Ph.D!" Chloe was so taken aback that she nearly dropped her fork.
It appeared that nowadays, bachelor's degrees were a dime a dozen.
