125 Chapter 125

'Visit (Mybo x novel. com) to read, pls!',

'But, what about me? I'm your wife. Shouldn't I get something from you too?'

Vincent observed his wife from head to toe and laughed out loud, 'You? Seriously? Do you think an expensive bag will fit you?'

Chloe zipped her mouth instantly, knowing that retaliating against Vincent would give her nothing but pain.

'Listen, Chloe Gray, there are only two bags that fit you, a laundry bag and a grocery bag. So stop dreaming that you deserve to get expensive things. You're not and will never be.'

— End of flashback—

Chloe clenched her phone as the memories flooded her head. She shook her head once to dispel the thought. It was in the past, and she was already away from Vincent.

She wanted to forget it because if she kept remembering, it would only hurt more as time passed.

Chloe focused on the site again. She checked many bags— only checked and added them inside the online shopping cart, but she never checked out because she had no money.

"Ah, this one is so beautiful…." Chloe murmured. "It's five grand. If I buy it five years from now, I can get it at uh… 700 bucks?"

"I still need to save a lot of money for Mackie. So I don't think I can buy this anytime soon, but at least I got it planned out," Chloe took a screenshot and put it in her gallery of things she wanted to buy. She didn't know when or if she could even purchase any of this in her lifetime, but hey… daydreaming was free!

Ding!

As Chloe was busy scrolling through her phone, the elevator was opened, and Vernon stepped out of the elevator.

Chloe looked up and lowered her gaze instantly when she found out that Vernon was also staring at her. She didn't want to incite Vernon's rage again, even if she didn't know what she did wrong.

Vernon's eyes dimmed when he saw his sister-in-law dodged his eyes instantly. No matter how many times she did that to him, it still annoyed him to no end.

Vernon wanted to ask his sister-in-law about a few things regarding her relationship with his Big brother— Vincent Gray. But she already pissed him off by acting so reluctant.

As if she was forced to stay by Vernon's side.

'She is the one who's willing to sign the contract. Why's she acting like I'm forcing her? Fucking annoying bi—'

Again Vernon stopped right before she called his sister-in-law a slur. He clicked his tongue annoyedly and walked past Chloe.

He opened the door and saw Diamond busy arguing with someone on the phone.

Diamond was surprised when her Boss suddenly appeared. She finished the call quickly and said, "Sir, I can only recover the furniture for now, Since you want it from a specific carpenter. I'm currently negotiating for the art pieces to replace the one you destroyed."

Vincent looked around to observe the new furniture that Diamond bought, "Well, at least you got the furniture right. Don't be slow. This office looks ugly without the decorations."

'And whose fault is it?' Diamond tried hard not to roll her eyes in front of her Boss.

"Boss, do you want me to buy a punching bag? We can set it at the corner of this office," Diamond suggested.

'',

"Why would I need that? Do you think I am someone who can't control my anger?"

'Seems like that,' Diamond replied in her heart. Though, she had to admit that Vernon rarely got angry. He could get irritated, and that had happened multiple times.

But it was rare for him to explode out of rage. Whenever he was angry, it must've involved his family, especially Vincent and Chloe Gray.

"Just do your job, Diamond. I'll give you a bonus for redecorating this office," Vernon ordered. He sat on his new executive chair and spun around to feel it.

"I think I have a meeting today, right, Diamond?"

"Yes, Sir, you have a meeting," Diamond checked her watch. "Should be ten minutes from now."

"Okay, let's just go. You can finish the decoration in my office later," Vernon said.

Diamond sighed, and she followed Vernon, who got up from his seat and headed to the meeting room on floor 18th.

Vernon walked past Chloe again. He gave her a short but sharp glance for a second before going to the elevator.

Diamond realized that the relationship between Vernon and Chloe had become even worse than before. She didn't know what caused it, and she had no way to know since Chloe herself was also clueless about what she did wrong.

Thus, when she entered the elevator with her Boss, she asked out of curiosity, "Sir, you seem to be angry at Chloe again. Did something happen?"

…

Usually, when Vernon went silent, that meant the topic didn't interest him, or he just didn't want to talk because it was a sensitive topic.

But, after a few seconds, Vernon finally opened his mouth, "I have to be careful with her. She is dangerous."

"Dangerous?" Diamond was stunned by that statement. She might've known Chloe for a short time, but Chloe was nothing but a wonderful woman. She might not be the flashiest woman that could attract everyone's eyes.

But she was very lovely. She reminded Diamond of a lovely housewife that should be the dream of every man on earth, beautiful, sweet, a good cook, a good mother, and attentive to her man.

So, Diamond didn't understand how in hell Vernon could get this 'dangerous' from.

"I got plenty of information from my Big brother about her. She is not the one to be trusted," Vernon said.

"Wha—" Diamond couldn't believe what she had just heard. Why would her Boss listen to that bastard? That perverted asshole wanted to trade secretary just for sex, and also a racist!

"Sir, it might not be my place to speak like this. But I don't think you should trust your Big brother's words. After all, we both know that he is not a good person, right?"
