At this point, Luke couldn’t deny it anymore. So as soon as the recording ended, he slowly began retreating backward. However, someone pulled him back by his collar. “What are you doing? Let go of me this instant!” He turned his head to see it was Charles and lashed out at him immediately. “Principal Hutchinson, have you called the police?” Charles ignored him and asked Jordy Hutchinson. Jordy Hutchinson, who was on the call already, nodded and dropped his phone. Almost immediately, the school’s security rushed into the auditorium. As he was dragged away by then, he yelled at Chloe with all his might, “No! I’ll be suing! Pearl Hotel made a deal with me not to leak this to the media, you just breached that agreement so get ready for a lawsuit because I won’t stop until I milk your hotel dry!” Chloe smiled faintly, “No, Mr. Marshall. The person you made a deal with was Mr. Cruz’s former assistant. Mr. Cruz never would’ve taken the deal.” “If you want the agreement you signed back
Pearl Hotel Matilda kept her eyes on the two strangers and Charles who surprisingly joined them to eat thirty minutes ago. Chloe was occupied with feeding Honey, she didn’t remember to introduce Chris and Penelope to her. Ethan remembered, but didn’t want to. Claire was simply too preoccupied with Charles eating at the same table as her family to see the curiousity in her mother’s eyes. At the same time, she couldn’t help, but wonder if Matilda was really right. Charles had no reason to eat with them except he wanted to build a relationship with her family before they got married. Matilda couldn’t hold in her curiosity any longer. She dropped her cutlery noisily, catching everyone’s attention before she asked Charles pointedly, “Mr. Wilkins, have you finally come to ask for Claire’s hand officially?” Charles, who was gulping down a glass of wine, choked on it immediately. Penelope and Chris lowered their face to hide the smile tugging the corners of their lips. “M-mother, stop
Matilda refused to be shamed by him. She threw her face to the side and sneered, “At least it’s better than buying her some cheap looking necklace.” Honey reached to touch the dog tag around her neck gently and raised her eyes to look at Ethan. “I love it, daddy!” Ethan smiled back at her before he raised a brow, “Do you want to know something about this necklace?” She nodded and Ethan leaned closer to her ear. Whatever he told her made her happier because she turned to face him fully and wrapped her arms tightly around his neck. When they disengaged, Chloe reached into her bag for a big rectangular box wrapped in wrapping paper. Honey was about to tear of the wrapping paper when Chloe shook her head. “I want you to open it tomorrow.” Honey was hesitant, but still nodded and dropped it on the table. Claire was still in a mood after finding out the betrothal she thought she had was actually misunderstanding, but she still flashed Honey a warm smile. “Your gift was too big
Chloe finally gave in to him after several seconds of probing his mouth with her tongue. His tongue delved into her mouth, twirling and turning. She tasted like a sweetness that made his head spin. She wrapped her hands around his neck as she kissed him back with so much fervor, eyes closed. After what seemed to be an eternity of biting into marshmallow treats, he moved his lips to her jaw, trailing kisses down her chin before pausing on her neck where he nibbled a little harder until he was sure he left a hickey. He tightened his grip around her waist and ran one up her back and in one swift move, unclasped the hook of her bra. Her eyes snapped open immediately, but she threw her head backward the very next second, a soft moan escaping her lips when he pulled down the hand of her silk night gown and lowered his lips to her breasts. The warmth of his tongue enveloped the pink breast bud, licking and teasing it. He kept at it while his free hand strayed to her other teat, squeezi
Chloe’s eyes fluttered open 8 hours later to see a familiar figure standing rigidly by the side of the bed. It took her a moment before she realized the person was Ethan. The man was holding a white tray which contained a glass of water and milk. When he saw she was awake, he lifted the glass of water and stretched it towards her. However, her eyes went behind him and settled on the clock on the wall. “9:37am! Wh-why? You should’ve woken me! Why didn’t you wake me, Ethan?!” She half-shouted, trying to leave the bed, but quickly stopped when she realized she had no clothes on under the duvet she was under. Ethan stared at her seriously before saying, “Because I didn’t think you’d be fit to work today.” Chloe’s cheeks flushed in embarrassment as the events of last night flooded back to her. She closed her eyes and pressed two fingers against her forehead as if trying to push the memory to the back of her mind. If she wasn’t in a hurry to get to work, she wouldn’t have the heart t
Chloe and Ethan went back and forth with each other before someone banged on the door to their room loudly. “Daddy, can you take Honey to the garden?” Honey’s pristine voice followed almost immediately. Chloe couldn’t stop the smile that crept onto her face. Ethan saw this and parted his lips to say something, but Honey’s voice came up from the door again. “Daddy! Daddy, are you making Honey a sibling too? Is that why you’re as tired as mommy?” Chloe chuckled, “She will not be leaving until you respond.” “Are you in there with mommy, daddy?!” Honey asked again. This time, Ethan couldn’t ignore her any longer. He turned to Chloe and gently dropped her feet on the ground, then waited for her to slip into the bubbly bath before he walked out of the bathroom. “Is daddy upset with Honey?” “Upset with Honey? What even is upset and why does that have anything to do with my Honey?” Chloe heard Honey’s soft giggle along with the door being closed. Then she threw her head backward and
For the next two days, Matilda and Scott were on their best behavior. Chloe would hear them arguing in their room, but the minute they came out, she would hear nothing. She heard them arguing in the living room monday morning as she got ready for work. However, when she came down, Scott hurriedly left while Matilda tried to run in the opposite direction, but Chloe stopped her. “Mom.” Matilda feigned ignorance and smiled at her warmly, “What are you still doing at home, Chloe? You should hurry to work, you’re almost late.” Chloe frowned slightly and moved closer to check her mother’s temperature. “Your temperature’s normal which means you’re not sick. Did you fight with dad and he, perhaps, hit your head on the wall by mistake?” Matilda shrugged off her hand on her forehead and huffed quietly. “Why would you ask that?” Chloe dropped her hands beside her and said seriously, I’ve lived with you and father my entire life and this is the first time you’ve both gone without scream
By the time Levi and Chloe got to the exhibition center, it was already filled to the brim with people. This was an opportunity for many companies to get close to the mysterious billionaire in Springdale, so they all wanted to make a good impression by getting to the exhibition center early. Josiah Haworth was speaking with some people when he saw Levi and Chloe walk in. He quickly excused himself from their midst and walked up to them. They stood close to the glass door as Levi introduced Chloe to Josiah. “Ms. William, this is Josiah Haworth, Chairman of Astoria Cooperation. And Mr. Haworth, this is Chloe William, my personal assistant.” Josiah smiled curtly and stretched his hand towards Chloe for a handshake. “Chloe William? I’ve heard so much about you. They say Levi broke the criteria by turning Pearl Hotel into the biggest hotel in Springdale in such a short time, but you’ve made it impossible for other hotels to catch up even if the hotel doesn’t have any improvement in t
