Chapter 460 Finally, She Was Seduced
"Why haven't you added me on WhatsApp? Did you see my request?" Chloe asked, trying to calm herself.
"If you hate me so much, why do you want to add me on WhatsApp?" Donovan retorted.
"I..." Chloe was once again at a loss for words under Donovan's questioning.
"Do you want to see Francis?" Donovan guessed. She might have gone to Maple Valley to see Sofia who might have told her about the WhatsApp incident, so that was why she wanted to add him.
Finally, he had lured her in!
"Are you going to add me or not?" Chloe asked again.
Donovan let go of Chloe, his tone becoming relaxed again. "Give it up. I'm not adding you."
Chloe fell silent and turned to leave.
"Wait!" he shouted.
"What?"
"I heard you became Loren's godmother? Do you know who the godfather is?" Donovan asked her.
"I didn't ask. It's probably you," Chloe said, lowering her eyelids.
"Knowing it's me, why did you insist on becoming Loren's godmother? What are you planing?" Donovan's gaze locked onto Chloe.
"I..." Chloe was once again speechless.
She wanted to say it wasn't intentional, but she couldn't say a word. Anyone would have their own speculations, pondering Chloe's return from Emerald Isle and her desire to be back by his side.
"I'm leaving." In front of Donovan, Chloe once again became inarticulate.
Donovan didn't try to stop her, because he had other matters to attend to.
After Chloe left, Donovan grabbed his phone and saw the message sent by his assistant: [Mr. Blake, Paisley mentioned she's coming to pick up something, what is it?]
Donovan: [Find out if Janet has a child, and buy some clothes and formula for the child. Make sure to buy a lot, and buy the best.]
[Okay.] the assistant replied.
Donovan was fiddling with his phone on the couch when Francis came out of his bedroom.
"Why aren't you asleep yet?" Donovan asked him.
"Wow, you're amazing. When Charles and I were home, you'd come out in your pajamas after a shower. This time, Chloe came, and you came out wrapped in a towel. Chloe must be smitten with you, right?" Francis asked Donovan with a grin.
"She knocked on the door, and I didn't have time to change into pajamas." Donovan patted Francis on the head.
"Dad, you're just lying to me." Francis teasingly poked Donovan's abs.
Without adding Donovan on WhatsApp, Chloe left disappointed. She felt a sense of defeat.
However, a few days later, Timothy created a group chat, adding all the relevant personnel for the collaboration, including ten staff members from Stellar Corp and five from New East Group, including Donovan, Charles, Victoria, Mario, and an operations director named Caitlyn Bennett.
Chloe was familiar with four of them; Caitlyn was probably new, as Chloe didn't know her.
On the last day of the Whimsy Day holiday, Timothy sent a message in the group chat: [We've signed the agreement for the land in the south suburbs. Let's go take a look tomorrow, and after Whimsy Day, we'll have the relevant personnel handle the paperwork.]
A few people responded in agreement.
Charles: [I can't go. I've already returned to Maple Valley, and there's a lot of work to do at the company.]
Mario: [The audit department has an audit meeting tomorrow, so Victoria and I can't go either.]
In fact, the collaboration with Stellar Corp was just a part of New East Group's business, and it wasn't given much attention within the group. In fact, it was often delayed due to various reasons.
Moreover, everyone believed that with Donovan in Pearl Peak City, he could accomplish a lot alone.
Since Donovan hadn't responded yet, Timothy nudged him: [Mr. Blake, are you going to inspect the site?]
Donovan: [Yes.]
Donovan finally replied.
Timothy: [So, it will just be you and Caitlyn going tomorrow?]
Donovan: [Yes.]
Chloe checked the weather forecast for the next day and saw that there would be light rain.
Chloe had a habit of checking the weather forecast daily to prepare her clothes for the next day.
She took out a pair of thick jeans, a white shirt, and a gray-brown wool cardigan, then put them into her bag.
While sorting through her clothes, she suddenly recalled that Donovan never took an umbrella when he went out.
As a gesture of courtesy, she decided to offer a friendly reminder. She posted the weather forecast in the group chat and told everyone: [It will rain tomorrow, remember to bring an umbrella.]
After sending it, she felt her message seemed a bit deliberate, but unfortunately, the message couldn't be retracted.
