Chapter 386 You Live Here After Leaving Me?
Donovan clapped three times. "The story's interesting, but don't push my button. Don't mess with me or her. You know the consequences." He stood up and left.
Pamela gripped the throw pillow, thinking, 'These guys are useless. How did Donovan find out so fast? He ruined my plan!'
She stood by the sofa for a bit, then called a subordinate. "Get Kathy over here!"
"Okay."
Kathy used to be Pamela's assistant.
Back in his office, Donovan started packing. Charles walked in.
"What's up, Donovan? Are you urgent for a business trip?"
"Going abroad."
"Where to?"
"Take a guess," Donovan replied without looking up.
"Verdania? No way! Can't resist anymore?" Charles was surprised.
Donovan shot him a look. "You see what you want to see."
"Isn't that what you're thinking?" Charles asked.
Donovan didn't answer.
Charles pulled out his phone. "Booked your ticket? I'll do it."
"No need. My assistant's on it," Donovan said, calling his driver to wait downstairs.
"Can't wait, huh?" Charles watched Donovan leave.
Donovan went downstairs, got in the car, and headed to the airport.
In Verdania, Cynthia was having dinner with Chloe at a fancy restaurant.
"Chloe, my assignment's done. I'm leaving tomorrow. Dinner's on me. Visit me at Pearl Peak City University sometime," Cynthia said.
"Sure. I'll see you off tomorrow." Chloe had grown to like Cynthia.
Pearl Peak City University was where Kenneth used to work. Chloe had been there. It was beautiful. Cynthia, like a hidden gem, became more delightful over time.
"Let's have a drink, Chloe. To our meeting and parting," Cynthia said.
"Alright," Chloe replied.
"So, what are you thinking of doing after you graduate?" Cynthia asked.
Chloe was unsure. She pursued further education to build her confidence.
"I don't know. I just want a higher degree."
"You could teach at Pearl Peak City University. Teaching's great. With your finance background, you could also work as an independent director and make good money," Cynthia suggested.
Chloe nodded. Cynthia had given her a new career idea to consider.
They drank a lot. Chloe had a few extra drinks and wanted to go home early.
Coincidentally, she saw Wade getting off work downstairs. They went upstairs together.
When Chloe opened her door, she was startled. A tall man in a black wool coat was flipping through her books. It was Donovan.
"What are you doing here?" Chloe pressed against the door, alert. She felt like the man in the black suit and his people were watching her.
Donovan turned to look at her. It had been a while. She had lost weight, her hair was longer, and she looked healthier.
"So this is where you live after leaving me?" Donovan surveyed the room. It wasn't shabby, but it couldn't compare to any of his homes.
