Chapter 556 This Is Your Business
The next day, Chloe and Donovan set off at five o'clock, leaving Maya to look after Francis.
All the way, Chloe was yawning non-stop.
"We didn't even have sex, why are you so tired?" Donovan teased.
"Aren't you tired?" Chloe asked.
"I'm getting up there in years and I'm having trouble sleeping." Donovan joked.
"I think so too. Almost forty, your some physical abilities are about to fail."
"Yes, indeed failing. Used to have sex every day, now it's every other day." Donovan said with a seemingly serious look but a relaxed expression. "Last night you didn't want to, and now you're complaining?"
"When did I complain?" Chloe was a bit exasperated. "I was just casually mentioning your inability to sleep, not as explicit as you made it sound."
Donovan didn't say anything, just smiled awkwardly.
It was a foggy day, and for safety, Donovan drove very slowly, and Chloe, feeling sleepy, dozed off in the car.
At a red light, Donovan glanced at Chloe, who was wrapped in her clothes, with her head covered. They looked like travelers forgotten in the fog.
"In this fog, I can barely recognize you." Donovan said.
Chloe knew Donovan might have more sarcastic remarks up his sleeve, so she didn't respond. She wrapped herself tighter and shrank down in the seat, staying silent, guessing Donovan might boast.
"Recognized me last night, don't recognize me today?" Chloe muttered.
"Right, recognize you without clothes, don't recognize you with them on." the light turned green, and Donovan started the car.
Chloe was speechless.
Until they reached Pearl Peak City, Chloe didn't speak to Donovan again.
Donovan dropped Chloe off at school and then went to the Stellar Corp for a meeting.
Timothy first talked about the recent progress of the Rebecca Residential Community, which was about to lay the foundation. Then, Timothy hesitantly said to Donovan, "Mr. Blake, last time Cynthia threatened to jump off the building here. It scared me to death. You know, in real estate, that's the last thing we want. I found out indirectly that Cynthia has a conflict with Chloe. Mr. Blake, I'm afraid if it happens again, we won't be so lucky."
Timothy lightly tapped the table, trying to get Donovan's attention.
So, Cynthia's goal was achieved.
Donovan knew very well what Cynthia's intentions were. "What do you plan to do?"
"I'd like to hear your thoughts." Timothy said.
"Let her leave Stellar Corp." Donovan said.
Immediately, Timothy's eyes lit up. He didn't expect Donovan to be so clear-headed and understand the reason.
However, to avoid any misunderstanding, Timothy added, "This Rebecca Residential Community is our hard work. We can't let Cynthia, a ticking time bomb, ruin it. I can arrange a better position for Ms. Baker. Her work ability is really impressive. "
Timothy gave a thumbs up.
"No need, I have my own arrangements." Donovan said.
"Then I won't ask. But about letting Ms. Baker go. Timothy implied that he couldn't do it himself and wanted Donovan to handle it.
"This is your responsibility." Donovan was unmoved.
"Alright, it's my responsibility." Timothy found this matter quite tricky. After all, Chloe was an independent director. When Chloe was still studying at Emerald Isle, Timothy had already extended an olive branch to her. Now, to let her go for an unfounded reason was indeed hard to say.
But better a short pain than a long one. Timothy still sent Chloe a WhatsApp message: [Chloe, due to strategic adjustments, the company has decided to revoke your position as an independent director. Please understand.]
