Chapter 254 Stay
Chloe
e remained composed and rational, leaving Michael without a response.
After a moment of silence, he managed to say.
“Alright.”
As Chloe started to head upstairs, Michael called out, “When did you interview at Bright Moon International?”
“Last month.”
Chloe replied smoothly, lying without a blink.
Michael never really paid attention to her
her activities, so he wouldn’t know if she was telling the truth or not.
She could easily fabricate a story.
“Bright Moon International is a multinational company. Wasn’t your French not so good?”
Food?” he q
questioned,
It was true they needed fluent French speakers.
He thought she was able to communicate with Frenchmen, but not fluently
Chloe almost laughed.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Was that really how he saw her?
It’s true that her French was mediocre wel
when they
y first met.
But for the past three or four years, she had worked tirelessly to improve it, striving to catch up with him and match his world.
Becoming the chief flight attendant at Paramount Airlines wasn’t because he pulled strings for her.
After all, he never even acknowledged their relationship publicly.
Without her own hard work, she would never have achieved that position
“That was my level three years ago.”
Chloe responded, her tone calm and steady.
Michael looked momentarily embarrassed. “What position will you have there? If it’s just as an assistant or server, you might as well come back to Paramount Airlines.” “Michael, why do you always assume I’m only good for serving coffee and water?” Chloe asked, her frustration evident.
Didn’t he notice how she was praised by Rick at the banquet? Couldn’t lie see that she was shining in her own right? Michael’s words weren’t meant to undermine her abilities; he was just worried she might be mistreated in a nere company.
At Paramount Airlines, he felt he could protect her.
He had spoken too hastily
As he tried to explain, Chloe was already walking upstairs, not looking back
He sighed and let it go.
Chloe packed her things and headed to the hospital to visit Wendy.
The attending physician informed her that Wendy’s condition had been very stable recently, and the new medication from abroad was proving effective. Chloe was overjoyed.
Chapter 254 Stay
In the ward, she pulled out the gold jewelry she had bought.
It was a matching set of bracelet and necklace.
The design was elegant, fitting Wendy’s style perfectly, and the pieces had a substantial weight to them.
“Mom, remember how you liked Madeline’s bracelet? I got you a new one. Do you like it?” Chloe asked, her eyes bright with excitement.
Wendy’s eyes lit up with affection as she looked at the bracelet
“Why spend money on this? I only mentioned it casually last time.”
Wendy said, though her delight was clear. Chloe could see how happy the jewelry made her mother.
“Mom, when the weather cools down, I’ll ask the doctor if you can go out for a walk!” Chloe suggested.
Wendy had been confined to the hospital for years.
But with her condition stabilizing.
Maybe soon, they could enjoy some time outside.
“Really?” Wendy’s eyes sparkled with hope.
“Really!” Chloe confirmed with a smile.
As she peeled fruit for Wendy, Chloe heard her mother say, “Chloe, don’t worry about what Madeline said last time. If you don’t want Maya to join Paramount Airlines, just say no. Don’t do it just because of me.”
Chloe was surprised Wendy brought up the topic again.
She offered Wendy a slice of apple.
“Mom, it’s fine. Michael has already agreed. If Maya’s not capable, Michael will handle it,” she reassured.
The reason she hadn’t refused Madeline outright was because Maya was set to join Paramount Airlines.
It didn’t affect her since she was no longer at Paramount Airlines.
If Michael wanted to take on this headache, why should she rush to help him solve it?

“Oh… okay, okay.”
Wendy nodded thoughtfully when she beard Michael had agreed.
After returning home, Chloe hadn’t reached out to James.
She assumed he needed time to recover from their emotional fallout.
But to her surprise, she received a call from him just three days after her retur.
“Where are you?”
“Home,” Chloe replied
“Start reporting to Bright Moon International tomorrow,” he instructed,
Chloe was taken aback
Really? So abrupt?
Her days of leisure were clearly over.
The next morning. Chloe dressed in a professional suit she hadn’t worn in ages,
But when she encountered Michael on the stairs, it was awkward
They had barely spoken or seen each other over the past few days.
Michael eyed her outfit and frowned.
“That skirt doesn’t suit you. Your calves are too thick. A longer skirt would be better.”
Chloe stared at him, incredulous,
Was he serious?
“The clothes are too tight,” he continued.
Chloe had a curvy figure.
waist.
And the tight skirt highlighted her slender w
The thought of other men seeing her like this made him jealous.
Chloe glanced down at her crisp white shirt tucked into her skirt.
“Haven’t you noticed you’ve gained weight recently? If you don’t want to end up with a belly full of fat, don’t change. I’m saying this for your our goodl Michael added, adjusting his the with a smug air.
Chloe stood there, stunned.
She felt a mix of nausea and irritation.
Of course, he couldn’t say anything nice first thing in the morning.
Eventually, she turned back upstairs to change.
When she can back down, one wearing pants, Michael found her appearance much more agreeable
“This outfit is good. I’ll dave you there,” he offried.

“No, I’ve already called a taxi.”
Chloe replied, slipping on her shoes and bending out the door.
Emma, the servant, watched silently.
After Chloe left, she hesitantly said, “Mr. Shawn, were you really asking Mrs. Shawn to change because she looked too g
As a woman, Emma thought Chloe’s first outfit had been perfect. She had looked stunning, like a work of art.
Michael, adjusting his tie, shot Emma a glance. “You talk too much.”
At the office, Chloe met James during the general manager’s hours.
The first thing he said upon seeing her was, “Did you just come back from the market killing fish?”
Chloe looked down at her clothes, mortified.
James tossed a document onto the table.

“How could I not care?”

“Your outfit is hideous. Is this what you call dressing up?”
James asked. Even a military man like him could tell her clothes were the wrong size. How could she not see it?
Chloe rolled her eyes. “If you don’t like it, don’t look!”
What did it matter to them what she wore?
The document on the table outlined her future responsibilities.
Additionally, Smith had added her contact information and included another document detailing her tasks as a network researcher at Bright Moon International.
These tasks included, but were not limited to, ensuring James stayed at the company during work hours.
“Review the document, sign it, and report to the Personnel Department to record your personal information.” James instructed.
Chloe signed her name swiftly.
“Mr. Dale, please sign.”
As the general manager, James also needed to sign.
“Mr. Dale, can I have your phone?” Chloe asked.
James looked up; pazzled “What do you need my phone for?”
Chapter 256 Where Did He Go?
Chloe shrugged nonchalantly. “I just need to add my contact information-WhatsApp and email-so you can reach me in various ways,” she said. James was surprised by her offer.
Was she really ready to be available at all hours?
Would she actually show up if he called her in the middle of the night?
Pondering this, he handed over his phone.
Chloe entered her details and then handed the phone back to him.
She picked up the documents and headed to the Human Resources Department.
James glanced at his phone, noticing the new WhatsApp contact.
Chloe’s profile picture was an adorable ragdoll kitten.
The HR department processed Chloe’s paperwork quickly. Within half an hour, she had her work pass.
“Excuse me, which floor is my workstation on?” Chloe asked.
The HR team looked puzzled
Chloe was their first network researcher, and no one knew where she should sit.
“Please wait. I’ll check with Mr. Dale,” one of them said.
Chloe waved her hand. “It’s okay, I’ll ask him myself.”
Despite Smith saying she didn’t need to work at the office, she felt alse should at least have a designated spot.
