The director’s intention was already very clear. This drink, Molly drinking it would be useless; it had to be drunk by Chloe Grant herself.
Molly just wanted to speak when Chloe Grant, standing behind her, had already pulled her back, simultaneously taking the glass from her hand, "Director, let me drink this first!"
As she finished speaking, Chloe Grant raised the glass and downed it in one go!
Chloe’s emotions were still caught up with Matthew Morgan’s return, but that didn’t mean she was completely foolish.
Since her internship started, Molly had always taken care of her, helping her a lot, and Chloe Grant genuinely didn’t want Molly to offend the director for her.
Meanwhile, as Chloe Grant drank the wine, Sophia Fraser and Lily Grant exchanged a glance, a victorious smile playing at the corners of their mouths.
Chloe Grant placed the empty glass on the table, producing a crisp sound.
The director looked at her with a satisfied smile, raising his glass to drink as well...his gaze never leaving Chloe Grant.
"Come, let’s toast to our glorious future!"
A certain leader stood up, and with just a few words, shifted the topic, easing the momentary awkwardness.
Molly pulled Chloe Grant to sit down.
Soon, the private room returned to another kind of excitement, and nobody brought up the interlude regarding Chloe Grant. Some even forgot about Chloe Grant and the ’important figure’ entirely.
People started playing drinking games, while others networked with the director, and basically, no one paid attention to Chloe Grant.
The director kept her in mind.
Once in a while, he’d glance over at Chloe Grant, who was trying to minimize her presence.
Yet, he was subtle enough that no one noticed... oh no, Sophia Fraser and Lily Grant had been observing the whole time.
Chloe Grant didn’t notice any of this; she remained absent-minded, lost in her own world.
No matter how lively and loud the private room was, she was still immersed in the scene where she encountered Matthew Morgan again.
For two years, she had been wondering under what circumstances she would reunite with Matthew Morgan after such a long separation.
And simultaneously, what words would they exchange?
An intense clash, or an unexpected meeting...
But Chloe Grant had never imagined it would be so calm and peaceful, like still water. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝔫𝔢𝔱
As if two years had never passed for the two of them, as if the missteps of the past had never happened.
They met like countless uncles and nieces in the world, with his calm demeanor still carrying the tone of an elder giving advice.
Chloe Grant thought, actually, two years seemed quite long, but in the monotony of day-to-day life, two years felt as if nothing happened, as if nothing ever changed.
Passed as if only two days had gone by.
At first, Chloe Grant didn’t respond until she felt her arm nudged back to reality.
She instinctively looked at Molly, who was playing a game with a colleague, then finally shifted her gaze to Sophia Fraser beside her.
Chloe Grant instinctively furrowed her brow.
She hadn’t expected Sophia Fraser to call her.
"Chloe, how have you been lately?" Sophia Fraser leaned forward; it was so noisy in their ear that Sophia Fraser had to cover her mouth for Chloe Grant to hear her.
Upon clearly hearing her words, Chloe Grant’s expression became somewhat puzzled.
Ever since the fallout in the dormitory two years ago, the two of them basically had no interaction.
Their interactions were mostly due to conflicts...
Moreover, from what Chloe Grant knew of Sophia Fraser’s character, she was not someone who would proactively seek to be friendly.
There must be a purpose, right?
