Chapter 335 Say Something Sweet to Me
After arriving at Donovan's office, Donovan asked, "What did you call me for earlier?"
"Elevate Structures Group wants us to provide a comparison table with last year. I made last year's table, but I did it as an employee of the First accounting firm. I can't just use it freely. If I do, it would violate professional ethics. I'm afraid they might use this to blackmail you to achieve some goal. They have always wanted to collaborate with New East Group but couldn't find an opportunity. I refused to provide it and told them to get it themselves," Chloe said.
Donovan was signing documents and, after hearing what Chloe said, remarked, "You did well."
He genuinely admired Chloe.
When James was around, he always obstructed Chloe from entering the audit department, probably fearing that one day Chloe would expose his mistakes. Fortunately, he had already dealt with James.
Someone like her, with impeccable bookkeeping skills, had been praised by Mario in front of him many times. Once she became a graduate student, she would be even more formidable.
"Do you want to leave with me this afternoon?" Donovan asked.
Chloe thought for a moment and said, "Victoria is taking Susan's car to 'The Elite Family' set. I might just go back with them, so I probably won't go with you."
"If you leave, what if I miss you?" Donovan asked her.
Chloe chuckled. "We see each other every day. You're just sweet-talking."
"I'm sweet-talking? Then you say something sweet to me."
Chloe turned her head to the side. "No way!"
Donovan didn't respond and continued working.
Chloe received a WhatsApp message from Victoria: [Chloe, can you leave now?]
[Sure, I'll message Susan on WhatsApp.]
While messaging Susan, Chloe said to Donovan, "Victoria is leaving, so I have to go too."
"Be careful, and have Maya come down to meet you in advance."
"Okay." Chloe quickly typed on her phone while responding to Donovan.
Chloe and Victoria got into Susan's car and chatted in the back seat.
"Chloe, after you got pregnant, did you get any stretch marks?" Victoria casually asked Chloe.
"Stretch marks? I don't know." Chloe frowned and said, "I haven't paid attention."
Victoria glanced at her. "Many women start using olive oil from the moment they get pregnant. You're almost due and still don't know what stretch marks are? Mr. Blake doesn't care?"
Chloe smiled. "Maybe he doesn't know either."
"Do you mind? If not, lift your shirt and let me see," Victoria said.
"I don't mind. After all, it's just us women in the car," Chloe said with a smile.
Victoria bent down to look at Chloe's belly.
"Wow, Chloe, maybe because you're young, you don't have any stretch marks. After you have the baby, you'll still look like a young girl," Victoria said with a smile.
"Really?" Chloe asked.
"Why would I lie to you?"
Chloe was happy.
As they chatted, Victoria used her phone to contact someone from NexInnovate Technologies Company to arrange a meeting place, which was the same Whispering Pines Inn as last time. The other party would bring the materials to Victoria.
Coincidentally, Chloe received a news notification on her phone: [Former actress plotted against by assistant, now blinds the assistant.]
Chloe opened it, and sure enough, it was about Paisley injuring Barbara's eyes. It said that Barbara went to the location where Paisley was shooting a commercial and verbally insulted Paisley. In response, Paisley threw lime at Barbara, burning her eyes.
Chloe was puzzled and thought, 'How did these two end up like this?'
'What exactly happened?'
Just then, Betty sent a WhatsApp message: [Chloe, did you ever tell Mr. Blake to advise Paisley to calm down? She injured Barbara's eyes today!]
Chloe hadn't figured out how to respond to her when they arrived at their destination.
