Chapter 576: In Sync
Chloe went to New East Group for a meeting on Saturday .
No one was working today, so Chloe faced much less criticism.
Chloe sat in the middle of the conference room, while Donovan, as usual, took his spot at the head of the table. Throughout the entire meeting, Donovan didn't look at Chloe even once.
Chloe stayed silent, keeping her eyes on the presentation on the big screen.
At that moment, someone knocked on the door.
Donovan's female secretary politely entered and whispered, "Mr. Blake, Mrs. Blake has brought you lunch."
The conversation between Donovan and Charles after work that day had already spread widely, and now everyone knew Cynthia was Donovan's wife.
Hearing this, Chloe's face instantly turned red with anger.
Donovan couldn't help himself, could he? He had just gotten married and already brought her to the office.
Charles and Victoria both glanced at Chloe, seeing her twirling a pencil in her hand or pressing the pencil tip against her fingertip, her face flushed.
Charles felt embarrassed for Chloe.
Charles thought, 'Is Donovan doing this on purpose? How could he be so inconsiderate of Chloe?'
But Charles saw Donovan's face full of pride and happiness.
Charles threw down his pen, crossed his arms, and sat back in his chair, fuming.
Cynthia came in.
"Donovan, you told me to come over the weekend, so here I am. I made some soup at home and brought it for you to try." Cynthia uttred gently.
"Okay. Take it to my office first." Donovan replied.
"Come soon," Cynthia reminded before leaving.
Chloe kept her head down, thinking, 'How can someone change so quickly?'
Chloe couldn't focus on the rest of the meeting.
When the meeting ended, Chloe hurriedly left the conference room.
Chloe thought inwardly, 'since Donovan is so petty, bringing Cynthia to the office just to annoy me, I can't show weakness either. Next time, I'll wear bright red lipstick.'
Of course, it's also possible that Donovan wasn't trying to annoy Chloe on purpose. Maybe he and Cynthia were just that affectionate. Chloe often saw online stories about people suddenly hooking up with old classmates and then growing more fond of them.
Although Chloe had only been gone for a week, maybe Donovan and Cynthia slept together and Donovan found Cynthia's skills in bed impressive.
Cynthia was good at using soft tactics, so she was probably quite soft in bed too.
Since Donovan valued "bedroom skills" so much, he naturally wanted a compatible "bed partner."
Thinking of this, Chloe was speechless.
Donovan's office.
"Donovan, how's the soup?" Cynthia asked like a little girl, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Donovan.
"It's okay." Donovan was genuinely hungry.
"Actually, Maya made it. I came today just to see you. Maya said you were in a meeting and asked me to bring the soup. I saw Chloe was there too. I guess Chloe must have done something to upset you, so you treated her that way. I'm here to help you." Cynthia explained.
"Thanks," Donovan replied very formally. "By the way, I told them we're married."
Cynthia bit her lower lip lightly. "I won't let it slip."
"Good. After this is done, just tell me what you want." Donovan uttred casually.
Cynthia, being an intellectual, managed to keep a calm exterior despite Donovan's harsh words, but inside, she was a mess.
Cynthia's deep love for Donovan was met with such disdain.
First Chloe walked all over her, and now Donovan did the same.
