Chapter 22
The mood suddenly got a bit tense as soon as she finished speaking.
“No biggie, Chloe Who hasn’t had a few crappy romances in their youth? Remember how you comforted me when I got dumped in college?” Rose said
Chloe’s gaze faltered for a moment, not saying a word. Rose sighed softly, murmuring to herself,
‘People come and go in life, no point fussing over where they came from or where they’re heading to. As long as we go with the flow, life is pretty good everywhere Lance was just a passerby in your life, no need to spend too much time on him Chloe, you’re so great, you deserve someone better”
She deserved someone better
The hand Chloe was holding her phone with suddenly tightened, a familiar yet strange face flashed in her mind.
But only for a moment, she then quietly cracked a slight smile
Seemed like she was really messed up, even connecting unrelated things.
“Chloe are you okay? Rose asked
Chloe snapped back, I’m fine I just think you’re right”
Rose let out a relieved sigh on the other end of the phone, “Alright, rest up, I need to get busy.”
“Okay” Chloe answered.
But just as she was about to hang up, Rose’s voice came again,
“Hold up. Chloe”
“Hmm“” Chloe asked
“Um are you planning on continuing to work at Lance’s company?” Rose asked.
Chloe was a bit taken aback, she hadn’t thought about this yet
“Thing is, the Research & Development Department is short–staffed, if you don’t want to stay with Lance, could you help me out? I know you’ve got Starlight International to run, but I really need help Rose said.
Chloe pondered for a moment, then softly said,
“Since we’ve broken up, I don’t have a reason to keep working at his company I’ve gotten used to a busy life over the years. If you need me, I can help out anytime.* “Ah–darling, you’re a lifesaver! Whatever you need, just say it- pouring water, massaging, rubbing legs, anything as long as I can get you, it’s worth it.”
Rose was rarely this excited, it helped to lift Chloe’s spirits.
Chloe chuckled, “You’re really laying it on thick.”
“Is that too much? I’m the luckiest person in the world, okay? You’re very important” Rose said
“Alright, alright, calm down, don’t you have things to do? Go get them done.” Chloe said.
“Okay!”
Rose sounded much more cheerful after solving a big problem, then she hung up casually
After the call, Chloe’s thoughts were somewhat dispersed. She was about to stand up and go for a walk, get some fresh air, when the phone rang again.
She hesitated for a moment, picked up the phone, and saw a strange landline number on the screen.
She hesitated a bit, thinking it was a client from Lance’s company, but she answered the phone anyway.
“Hello, Chloe’s voice became more professional
“His this Chloe“”
The voice was full of energy and it was clear that the person on the phone was not young.
A trace of confusion flashed in Chloe’s eyes,
Yes, it is May I ask who?”
‘I’m the old lady you saw under the gardenia tree last time I heard from Nate that you wanted to meet me.” The other person said.
Chloes confusion immediately disappeared
“Yes, I promised to chat with you, but I haven’t called you for so many days, I’m really sorry” Chloe said
“It’s okay, your health comes first! So, if you’re free now, come over, I’ll have Nate pick you up The old lady said. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Chloe looked at the weather outside and replied with a smile,
“Alright
