Chapter 804
I softly comforted her, “Wait for him to finish his tasks, and then let him give you a proper explanation. There’s no way for you to contact him right now, so being angry only affects you.
“You’re not a child. Be calm, since you’re prepared not to rely entirely on him. Don’t make yourself look lost. Even in deep love, learning to be independent is a wise approach. That’s what you advised me back then.”
“Heh… I underestimated you. I forgot how you felt when you first discovered Matthew’s affair,” she teased me, “Feeling ignored is terrible. Chlo, I’m a bit tired. I can’t understand him. It’s exhausting.”
Her words were undoubtedly her true feelings. Jared was indeed a person not easily understood.
With her head drooping, she sighed, “I’m going. I want to go home and sleep. This damn job is truly inhumane.”
After saying that, she stood up and fixed her hair, still tired.
“Well, you go back and rest. What do you want to eat tonight?”
I observed her, knowing she was in a bad mood and feeling obligated to accompany her. “Or, how about we make plans with Lauren? The three of us can go out and have some fun?”
“No need. I’m quite full from this meal. I’m like a camel, good at storing food. I just want to go to sleep. You go home after work and enjoy your time. Don’t mind me. I want a natural wake-up.” She picked up her large bag and slung it over her shoulder. “I’m off.”
“Do you have your car? If not, I can drop you off,” I said as I followed her outside.
“No need. I’ll take a taxi downstairs.”
Watching her enter the elevator, she waved to me casually and smiled faintly. “See you.”
I felt a pang in my heart as the elevator doors slowly closed. Just as I was about to head back to the office, Melvern walked out of another elevator.
I was stunned, thinking this guy felt at ease coming to my workplace. It seemed like he was getting too comfortable with this.
I smiled casually, maintaining politeness even in unexpected encounters. “Mr. Melvern?”
His penetrating eyes met mine, and he smiled. “Ms. Chloe, we meet again.”
“Looking for Ryan? He’s inside.” I gestured toward the office.
“No, I am looking for you,” Melvern said confidently.
“For me?” I was a bit surprised but nodded politely. “Please, have a seat.”
I called for Carol, and she quickly appeared. I instructed her, “Tidy up the inside.”
Carol efficiently cleared the
of Ivanna’s meal,
the windows to freshen the air and prepared two cups of coffee.
“Busy lunch break?” Melvern asked casually.
“Not really. A friend of mine just left,” I explained. “Mr. Melvern, what brings you here?”
He handed me a dossier, and as I looked through it, I couldn’t believe what I saw.
I raised my eyes to him and asked, “Is this…?”
“The shares transfer agreement for Ardora,” he replied calmly, exuding the air of someone controlling the situation.
I calmly placed the documents back into the bag and on the coffee table. “Mr. Melvern, what does this mean?”
“I received this before coming back
to Foswood. I wanted to ask you if you’re interested in acquiring it Melvern leaned back on the sofa with an air of self-assurance. en.swhovels.net
I chuckled Mr. Melvern, I must say I’m impressed with your approach. However, I have no interest in
Ardoba. I don’t see any potential in the things you all are fighting over.”
