Chapter 588 It's Me, Chloe

Sarah had fired and hired so many assistants that it was often a joke that Sarah's office had a revolving door. Assistants came and went, and it only made it more unusual for Ida to hear Sarah ask about an assistant.

Ida didn't really know what to say.

"She looks honest and seems to be hard-working," said Ida.

Hearing Ida's comment, Sarah suddenly burst into laughter. She got up from her seat, startling Ida.

Ida removed her hands from Sarah's shoulders.

"What's wrong?"

"This one isn't just a simple woman."

'She is just an assistant. Why wouldn't she be simple?' Ida thought to herself.

Ida didn't know what to say.

Ida kept her thoughts to herself. It was this silence she shared with Zena that was probably the biggest reason why she and Zena had not been fired yet.

They just listened to what Sarah said, often keeping their opinions to themselves.

"What's wrong? Don't you believe me?" asked Sarah.

Ida shook her head and replied, "Well, not really. She's just an assistant. Why would she not be simple?"

"Did Zena go out to buy food?"

"Yes, it should be so. Because I didn't see her anywhere," said Ida.

Sarah closed her eyes.

Ida didn't know what Sarah was thinking, so she decided to leave Sarah and go back to her station.

At Breeze Restaurant

Ashley and Zena got to the restaurant together. Zena entered the restaurant, and ordered three lunches. She was very specific, that one should not have shallot, garlic, peppers, celery, tofu and so on.

She gave a long list of the ingredients that Sarah wanted left out of the dishes.

Zena looked at Ashley and said, "Did you see that? You have to make sure that the food is prepared exactly this way. If it's not, Sarah just won't eat it."

It was clear that Sarah was a picky eater.

"Okay," said Ashley.

"But, you just said that Sarah

d indeed, and Ashley found comfort in seeing a familiar face here.

"Nothing," replied Chloe.

Chloe grabbed Ashley's hand and headed outside. She said, "let's go. Glad to see you here. Why don't we have some dinner?"

Just as Ashley was about to refuse, she saw Chloe pause and turn around. There was a look of surprise in Chloe's eyes. "I just remembered! You said you came here to travel. Why are you suddenly working here?"

Ashley was dumbfounded. She didn't know what to say and she was caught completely off-guard.

When they first met, Ashley had just left Andrew. She was in a very bad mood, and she felt a little annoyed with Chloe. She never really expected to see Chloe again, and here, in all places. She just made up any kind of excuse in her mind.

Ashley was stunned for a while. Once she gathered herself, she finally spoke. "I'm sorry Chloe. I lied. I'm really here..."

Before Ashley could finish, Chloe shook her head and waved her hand. "Forget it. It's okay. We all have our little secrets and lies. I also wasn't completely forthcoming with you when we first met. But from now on, let's not lie to each other anymore. What do you say?"

Ashley smiled at Chloe. Ashley liked what she heard from her.
