217 Chapter 217

"A—A man? You're having an informal meeting with your MALE friend, right, Sir?"

"A woman," Vernon said lightly. He didn't even hesitate with his reply. "It's an old acquaintance of mine in university, I want to meet her because she can teach me how to understand a woman."

Diamond wanted to facepalm really hard right now. He had a feeling that her boss wouldn't fuck another woman after he reunited with Chloe.

Because she remembered how Vernon called her in the middle of the night while he was piss drunk, just for her to pick him up because he wanted to meet 'his woman.'

If the drunk Vernon, who could've fucked so many women in one night, would still think about his woman— aka Chloe— that meant he wouldn't fuck anyone else when he was completely sober.

'I'm pretty sure he just wants to meet this woman for a business matter, but the way he worded his sentence makes it so ambiguous!' Diamond complained in her heart. 'Seriously, does he not understand that his words could make Chloe jealous and insecure?!'

Of course, Diamond couldn't call him out right now. Because the defensive Mr. Phoenix Gray would yell back at her for embarrassing him.

So she planned to tell Chloe about this later to ensure there was no misunderstanding between Vernon and Chloe.

"Alright, Sir, I will make a reservation for two— an informal dinner meeting with a female ACQUAINTANCE, is that right?" Diamond intentionally pressed on the acquaintance part to ensure that Chloe knew it was nothing serious.

"Why did you call it an informal dinner meeting? Just call it a dinner date. I don't want the restaurant to arrange something weird for us," Vernon said. He used to have many formal dinners with his clients or business partners, and the restaurant would usually arrange a few entertainers— usually women his clients could spend the night with.

Or men, depending on the client's preference, really.

…

Diamond took a deep breath, holding herself not to slap this insensitive and insufferable boss she somehow tolerated for so long.

"Yes, Sir. I will book a table for you," Diamond replied. But she kept glancing at Chloe, who was still meekly hiding.

"Good, now let's go. I don't want to be late for this meeting," Vernon said.

'ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NovelB(i)n. ᴄᴏᴍ',

Diamond followed Vernon, who walked past Chloe— treating her like air. She turned her head at her homegirl, twirled her index finger near her temple, and then rolled her eyes, hinting that her boss was a crazy bastard.

Chloe curled her lips as she almost giggled when she understood Diamond's gesture. But she kept silent and waited until Vernon and Diamond entered the elevator.

'Follow current novels ON N (ovelB in.)',

After they left, Chloe sighed in relief and walked inside Vernon's office. She diligently picked up the empty plate on Vernon's table.

She washed the dishes in the pantry before packing the lunch bag again.

As she was getting ready to go grocery shopping before picking Mackie up from school, she got a text from Diamond;

—

From: Diamond.

Girl, ignore what he said before. He is not really good at communicating. He'll probably talk with that woman about work-related stuff before going home.

—

Chloe tilted her head slightly, finding the text to be quite weird.

Based on Diamond's text, it seemed that Diamond thought she would be jealous of Vernon and this woman he would meet in a dinner date. While in fact, she felt nothing when Vernon said that he had a dinner date.

She understood that Vernon was a young, hot-blooded man who could hook any woman by his side and didn't seem to be tied with any woman so far.

So, it wasn't Chloe's business to pester about whom he hooked up with, as long as he did it safely.

"Still, I want to make sure that he is practicing safe sex. He should always save enough condoms for a just-in-case situation," Chloe muttered.

She felt her obligation to provide Vernon with some condoms because she worked for him, "And because I feel like a responsible Big sis for him…."

Thus, Chloe decided to put a condom on her list of groceries for today.

**

Chloe went to her usual grocery store and bought everything she needed to restock the fridge.

Then, she went to the condom aisle and checked between each brand.

Honestly, she didn't know which one was better than the others. After all, she only had sex with Vincent all her life, and that bastard never used a condom.

"Hmm… is the ultra thin one better? How about the taste? I never know there is a strawberry taste for a condom," Chloe said as she picked two packs of condoms from different brands.

She didn't know a thing, but of course, she knew the use of a condom, so she thought the thinner it was, the better it would be.

Especially when she read the back of the condom pack and saw;

-

It feels like doing it RAW!

-

"Okay, I'm sold," Chloe decided to buy the ultra-thin one. But before she put the condom in her shopping cart, she remembered that she had to buy the correct size.

"Ah—Uhm…" Chloe saw the size from small to extra large. "S—Should I call him to ask about his condom size?" Chloe asked herself, then she quickly ditched the idea as her face got hotter when she was thinking about it.

She didn't know the measurement of each size, so she googled it instead.

'',

"Okay, so… extra large should be for seven inches and more," Chloe nodded. She might not know Vernon's exact size, but she knew he needed the extra large one because it was definitely more than seven inches.

Chloe's mind automatically imagined Vernon's big cock. She had seen it, touch it, suck it— even felt it rubbing against her pussy lips for the whole night. Just thinking about all that already made her feel things, and she started feeling a little itchy down there.

'Mm… it's big, thick, and the tip is….'
