"Oh, that's right, I can use her to play inside that room. Isn't that my original intention to use her body only?"

As if he had returned sober, he steeled his might, "Yes, why did I forget about that part of me hiring her? I want to taste her body and fuck her just like I fucked those random women I dated."

"My first intention is to play with her and ensure she felt being used. I will ditch her once I'm satisfied with her body. The intention is that simple!"

"Then why did I suddenly forget about all those?" Vernon asked himself.

Then, the realization dawned upon him once he realized that he didn't feel like his cold self whenever he was around his sister-in-law.

Of course, there was an obvious reason behind his emotional turmoil. He expected himself to play around her until she came begging, and he would kick her out, showing that she was nothing but a discarded piece, just like how she discarded him.

But in this current situation, it seemed that his sister-in-law had more control over his emotion and turned him into a complete idiot.

He clenched his jaw and smacked the steering wheel with his palm, "Shit, I got sucked into her emotional game! She played me with all of her emotional manipulations!"

"I will show her who controls this cooperation between us. She is nothing but a woman for me to play with!" Vernon said to himself, assuring himself that he was in total control.

He had faced a lot of women in his life, and he had never failed to be the winner of each bad breakup. So Chloe was no different since she acted just like the other women in his life.

"She acted exactly like what my big brother said. Why do I need to treat her gently?"

After Chloe drove Mackie to her school, she drove to Vernon's office. Chloe's office job might only be preparing lunch for Vernon.

But she took the job seriously nonetheless.

Ding!

The executive elevator arrived at the top floor where Vernon's CEO's office was. Once the lift door slid open, she met with Diamond, who had just closed Vernon's office door.

They stared at each other for a while, and Chloe smiled at her best friend, "Did I miss something yesterday?"

"OMG, GURL!" Diamond dashed towards Chloe and hugged her tight inside the elevator.

"W—Whoa— Diamond, we need to get out first. It's still in the elevator…."

"Oh, I forgot," Diamond separated herself. She and Chloe walked out of the elevator.

Diamond resumed her tight hug, and Chloe patted Diamond's shoulder.

"I don't know that you can be this clingy, Diamond. Did I miss something yesterday?"

"I can't tell you, girl. It's a company secret. But it sure is crazy," Diamond replied. "I thought I'd be sold to a random handsome but grimy CEO that has a business deal with Mr. Phoenix Gray. I'm glad that he is a racist bastard, though. This would be the first time I'm so glad that someone is a racist because he didn't want to do anything with my body because of my skin."

…

'Sounds like Vincent,' Chloe said in her heart.

She knew that Vincent was absolutely racist when it came to skin color. He only treated his non-white business partners with fake hospitality. He scolded Chloe, telling her his mansion would be robbed in the middle of the night if they hired black or Latina workers.

'But I don't think Vincent and Vernon would work together. They're estranged, right? Vernon has been away from his family for ten years and never once tried to contact Vincent or me.'

…

'I wonder if Vernon told Vincent about me. Though, I don't think that so… because if he did, then Vincent would work together with Vernon to make my already miserable life even more miserable.'

"You can't say anything about the guest yesterday to me?" Chloe asked.

"I can't. I'm so sorry, girl. I don't want to take the risk," Diamond said. She still felt guilty because she thought Chloe should know about her ex-husband's whereabouts. She could use this information to dodge him, at least, since Chloe told Diamond before that she didn't want to meet her ex-husband anymore.

Chloe sighed, but she understood that Diamond also had her risk while working with Vernon.

"It's fine, Diamond. Your safety is still the most important."

While they were hugging tightly like a pair of care bears, the CEO's office's door was opened from inside, and Vernon's head popped out from the gap. His eyes darkened when he saw Chloe and Diamond hugging tight.

"Chloe, come to my office in ten minutes," Vernon said.

Diamond and Chloe quickly separated themselves, and Chloe bowed her head gently, "Good morning, Mr. Phoenix Gray. Yes, I will come to your office in ten minutes. Do you want me to bring anything? Or do you want me to bring the banana milk from the fridge?"

"W—Why would you mention banana milk? Just come in, damn it!" Vernon slammed the door after that. Chloe chuckled lightly;

"It's cute that he would get flustered whenever you mentioned his banana milk."

"Ahh, I wouldn't call him cute, never," Diamond laughed dryly. Of course, because she knew how much of an ass Vernon was, calling him cute had the same equivalent as calling a turd beautiful.

"That's because I grew up watching Vernon since he was a kid, around seven years old when I first met him in the Gray mansion," Chloe said, reminiscing about the old past.

"And he was cute back then?"

"Oh, very!" Chloe replied with delight as she reminisced about cute little Vernon. "He is still a big brat that throws temper tantrums so often over almost everything."

"So he been nitpicking even since he was a kid?"

"Mhm, kind of. He has always been a picky eater, so he would throw a huge tantrum every day if he didn't find any food he likes."
