Chapter 75: Does this have something to do with you?
In the car.
"Darling, have you finished work? Are you tired today?" Chloe flattered.
"As always." Donovan's tone was calm as he drove.
"Oh, I'm afraid you would be tired."

"What are you worried about? Last night didn't take that long," Donovan said dismissively.
Chloe's face turned instantly red, she didn't mean that, absolutely didn't mean that.
What exactly was he doing? Where was he steering the conversation?
Chloe coughed softly, trying to subtly steer the conversation towards the audit, "I received an email today about the company establishing an audit department, is it true?"
"Lucas is preparing to interview next week," Donovan said.
"Next week?" Chloe asked in surprise.
If it starts next week, she wouldn't meet any of the requirements, no master's degree, and she hasn't even obtained her CPA certificate.
"Yes, so what? Why do you care? Does this have anything to do with you?"
Donovan's attitude seemed to disdain Chloe's level: this is a game played by the elites. Why would a lower-level employee like you care?
Obviously, Donovan's words struck Chloe and left her feeling hurt.
"Am I really that inferior in your eyes?" Chloe frowned, sounding very helpless.
Donovan smiled as if relieved, "Not really, aren't you planning to resign?"
When Donovan brought up the matter of resignation, Chloe was speechless, and her tone became somewhat anxious, "I...I couldn't stand all the gossip about people in the company recently, got a little disgusted..."
Donovan sneered and didn't reveal the truth? Didn't mention being seduced by Brayden?
"So, you care about the audit department, what's the meaning behind it?" Donovan's tone had changed, becoming more official.
"I...I'm studying for my CPA, I want..." After all, this was something Chloe was asking for from Donovan, so what she said was not straightforward and lacked confidence.
"What do you want? To join the audit department? To use my connections?" Donovan questioned her.
"I..." Chloe's tone was tepid, but in the end, she nodded solemnly, "Yes, I really want to join. I'll do a good job."
"As someone who plans to resign, you're telling me this?" Donovan clearly didn't believe Chloe's words of doing a good job.
"I..." Chloe didn't expect that pleading with Donovan would be so difficult.
Furthermore, now that he had caught her resignation as leverage, it seemed impossible for her to turn things around.
If he found out that she had sent a resume to Brayden, she wouldn't even know how she would die.
"I don't have a say in this matter. Lucas is fully in charge of recruitment, and you know how meticulous Germans are."
Chloe was stunned. Was Donovan refusing? With her qualifications, she wouldn't even have a chance to take the exam.
"So since you said you don't have a say, why did you say so much just now?" Chloe furrowed her eyebrows.
Donovan looked at Chloe sideways, "Showing your true colors?"
Chloe ignored him and adjusted the back seat, pretending to fall asleep.
The back door was not an option, and the weather was scorching hot.
With her eyes closed, she couldn't help but think about the situation of joining the audit department, feeling more and more determined.
At night, Donovan went to take a shower while Chloe was writing her resume on the table.
The recruitment information stated that only a Chinese resume was required, but Chloe decided to send a German resume as well, to make a good impression on Mr. Lucas.
She didn't know German.
But Donovan did.
Chloe finished her Chinese resume, and as Donovan walked out of the bathroom drying his hair, he saw Chloe sitting in front of the computer.
Chloe turned her head and looked at Donovan with a flattering gaze. "Honey, can you do me a favor?"
"What is it?"
"Please translate my resume into German for me. Please, honey!" Chloe clasped her hands together in a very sincere manner.
"Chloe! Don't you think you're taking advantage of me?"
Chloe instantly softened, "I know it's not appropriate to ask Mr. Blake to translate my resume, but I really don't know German. I don't understand a single word, and I really want Mr. Lucas to have a good impression of me. Please, honey. Moreover, your wife is just a low-level employee in the accounting department, don't you feel ashamed? Even if it's just in name, we're not a good match."
Saying that, Chloe stood up and pushed Donovan onto the chair. "I'll give you a massage, and you can do whatever you want at night, I don't mind!"
"Go downstairs and talk to grandpa!" Donovan picked up the mouse.
"Okay, I'll go now." Chloe said and went downstairs.
