Chapter 279 Misunderstand
Asher also looked over.
James met Chloe at the door, observing her in the dress ho had sent, his eyes filled with astonishment.
He remarked, "You work in front of the computer every day, but still have such a good figure. It's truly exceptional."
Chloe smiled, "Thank you!"
"Come on, I'll introduce you to my friends." James suggested, leading her towards Asher's direction.
Seeing the woman beside James from afar, both of them had some curiosity in their eyes.
Due to the distance, they couldn't discern her face clearly, only noting her shapely figure and stylish wavy hair. "James has good fortune." Asher exclaimed.
In less than half a minute, curiosity on Asher and Owen's faces gradually dissipated, replaced by shock and surprise. What? The person James brought over was Chloe.
At least Asher knew that Chloe was an employee of James' company, which brought some understanding.
However, Owen was unaware.
So when he saw Chloe walking towards him with James' arm around her, he turned furious.
This woman was truly audacious.
Chloe was also surprised to see them two.
Asher looked at the beautiful Chloe and took the initiative to greet her, "Mrs. Shawn, long time no see!"
Chloe smiled and said, "Michael isn't here, you don't have to call me Mrs. Shawn."
She disliked the title and was seen as Michael's accessory.
She had her own name.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Owen sneered, "Are you trying to hook up with other men behind Michael's back?"
Chloe's expression stiffened before she retorted sharply, "Watch your mouth. How can Michael's good friend behave like this?"
Owen's face darkened instantly.
James smiled lightly and intervened, "Mr. Smith, I thin! u misunderstood us. Chloe is a network security researcher at Bright Moon International and also my assistant. Her presence here today is work-related. Spreading baseless rumors is not what a gentleman should do."
James' demeanor turned serious, his tone grave.
Chloe just came to attend a banquet. How could she associate with hooking up with men?
Owen felt a little embarrassed, but was unwilling to apologize, "Regardless, she knows the truth in her heart."
Sensing the tension, Asher intervened, "Alright, let's toast."
He raised his glass, attempting to diffuse the quarrel.
Meanwhile, downstairs, Michael had just got off the Rolls-Royce and said to Tom, "Come pick me up in four hours."
As the car turned, Michael saw Lucy getting off the car on the other car.

He narrowed his eyes, not knowing she would be there today.
"Michael!" Lucy hurried over upon spotting him.
"You are also coming to attend the welcoming banquet hosted by the general manager of Bright Moon International!"
Lucy knew that Monica had been fired by Bright Moon International. She came here to plead for leniency from the general manager. Knowing that Owen was coming, she wanted to use his connections to get closer to the general manager.
If unsuccessful, she planned to seek Michael's help.
However, she didn't expect Michael to come too.
In the elevator, she said, "Michael, Monica was unilaterally terminated by Bright Moon International. Did you know about this?"
Michael shook his head and responded curtly, "I don't know."
And who was Monica?
Lucy explained, "Monica aspires to be a model, but now Bright Moon International seems to be blocking her. When you meet the general manager today, can you speak a few words for Monica?" Michael frowned slightly, "Why did Bright Moon International terminate the contract with her?"
