Chapter 594 Blood Pack
New East Group, tenth-floor conference room hallway.
"What?" Donovan asked.
"I found someone to look after my mom, but they won't arrive until two or three in the afternoon. I don't feel comfortable leaving my mom alone at home, but I have to go to class. If you're free, could you help me out?" Chloe said.
"You're going to class now?" Donovan asked her, the implication clear—Chloe had just had surgery and was already going to class.
"Don't you know that with modern surgeries, you can get out of bed the next day?"
Donovan checked his watch. "Alright."
Donovan was now very compliant with Chloe, without any teasing or sarcasm, almost as if he was trying to atone for something.
Donovan owed Chloe.
Donovan returned to his office to gather his things.
"We'll end the meeting here for today. I have something to attend to," he said. "We'll continue tomorrow."
Charles sent him a WhatsApp message: [What's going on?]
[Going to be a babysitter.]
[For who? Chloe?]
[Who else could it be?]
Charles saw the WhatsApp message and smiled, thinking: Serves you right!
When Donovan arrived at Chloe's house, she was already dressed and ready to leave.
She wore a white silk blouse, cream-colored wide-leg pants, and had a brown wool coat draped over her arm. She looked stunning, with light makeup and alluring lipstick.
Seeing her, Donovan stiffened.
"Please take care of my mom. I have classes all day. Can you make lunch for her?" Chloe asked Donovan kindly.
"Okay," Donovan replied hoarsely.
Chloe smiled at him and turned to leave.
Walking through the campus, Chloe saw a familiar figure that looked like Jacob.
She tapped him on the shoulder, and sure enough, it was him. Jacob's pocket was bulging.
"What are you doing here?" Chloe asked Jacob.
Jacob scrutinized Chloe.
"Our esteemed professor has come to Maple Valley? And didn't even tell me? Am I an outsider now, or are you too proud to let me know?" Jacob said casually to Chloe.
Chloe noticed that Jacob's attire had changed significantly; he looked quite presentable, and his demeanor was different, too.
"Made some money?" Chloe asked him.
"Looking to borrow some?" Jacob asked arrogantly.
"Borrow money from you? Your interest rates would kill me. What are you doing at Pearl Peak University?" Chloe was surprised by Jacob's sudden appearance at Pearl Peak University.
"None of your business!" Jacob said.
Chloe thought to herself that she didn't care to know anyway.
Just as she was about to walk away, she saw Angela approaching from a distance.
Chloe thought: Could Jacob be involved with Angela again? That woman, he should stay away from?
"Move, move," Jacob said impatiently to Chloe. Then he pushed her aside, took a bag out of his pocket, and smashed it over his head. It turned out to be a bag of fake blood. He lay on the ground, wailing, and said to Chloe, "Hurry up and go, go, go."
Chloe thought: After all these years, Jacob's emotional intelligence hasn't improved. So childish, using such an easily seen-through "self-injury trick" at over thirty years old.
Angela walked over. Seeing Chloe, she looked a bit embarrassed. She glanced at Jacob on the ground a few times and then walked past.
Chloe stared at Angela, thinking: How can some women live with the sole purpose of seducing men? After what happened with James, she's already trying to seduce Jacob.
Jacob saw Angela walk past and took out another bag of fake blood from his pocket.
But Chloe was quick and had already snatched it away, putting the bag in her purse.
