Chapter 234: Chapter 234: When will you come home?

Chapter 234

As soon as Chloe finished speaking, she had already tidied things up.

She said, "If you really feel sorry for me, just keep this matter as quiet as possible. As you know, I don’t like trouble."

Lucas nodded his head, "I certainly will."

Even though she said that, he knew she meant well and was kind.

If this matter were to be made public, his reputation would be damaged, while hers would only become more well-known.

This matter had a bit of dramatic color to it, and if it were exposed, it would not only spread within the industry but also outside of it.

She was protecting him.

A ringing sound broke the silence.

Lucas glanced up and saw Chloe pick up her phone.

Her phone had rung earlier, but she didn’t answer and just declined the call.

This time...

As he was thinking, Chloe answered the phone right in front of him.

Lucas’s mouth twitched slightly, suddenly curious about who was on the other end of the line.

Unfortunately, Chloe’s expression was indifferent, making it difficult to determine what role the other person played in her life.

When she answered the phone, it was often in a "don’t make a move until the enemy does" style, which meant she would wait for the other person to talk and not take the initiative.

Right now, it was no different.

"Finished the exam?" Alexander’s voice was gentle and quiet on the other side of the line.

"Mhmm."

Chloe glanced at Lucas, indicating for him to leave first.

Lucas smiled faintly and understood, putting on his mask and baseball cap before leaving the room.

As soon as he closed the door, someone approached him, "Assistant Sir, is Aaron ready yet?"

Lucas smiled with his eyes, "There’s still time, no need to rush. Give her another ten minutes, and we’ll head over first."

In the room.

Chloe sat on the makeup table, holding her phone in one hand and playing with a water-based pen in the other, pressing the cap up and down from time to time.

She listened quietly as Alexander spoke.

"I saw some nice things over there that I thought suited you, so I bought them. When are you coming home?"

Chloe raised her eyelids, "You bought me stuff again?"

The man chuckled softly, his voice warm and gentle, "Don’t like it?"

Chloe felt a slight headache, "Too much."

That refrigerator full of food, and the nine boxes of aged vinegar.

She still didn’t know how to deal with all that vinegar.

Alexander’s voice came through the phone, "If you think there’s too much, you can pick out what you don’t like and give it to Robert. This time, I think everything I bought is to your liking."

"You..." Chloe was suddenly lost for words. She had plenty to say, but when it came to her lips, she didn’t know how to speak, "Never mind."

"When will you be back?" he asked.

Chloe recovered and was about to answer unconsciously when she thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow night, I still have work to do. Got to go."

She quickly hung up the phone.

Her mood was a little uneasy, an indescribable feeling.

She drank half a bottle of water, and before she could put it down, her phone rang again.

She thought it was Alexander again, but it turned out to be Layla Lowell.

Chloe took the call casually.

"Hey, Chloe, don’t you know Charles Carrington? Talk with him for me. I’m stuck at Gate 3 and they won’t let me in. My gift is going to melt soon!" Layla was panting, sounding very anxious.

"What kind of gift did you buy?"

As Chloe spoke, she walked out.

She gestured to the people outside and went alone towards Gate 3.

Layla said, "It’s a giant ice cream cone shaped like his favorite car model. I found online that in most of his pictures, he’s eating ice cream. He must like it!"
