Chloe nonchalantly approached the front desk, giving a nod to Rupin.
“Can I help you with something?”
Rupin’s eyes lingered on her, his invasive gaze causing Chloe’s brows to furrow.
She shot him a chilly glance in return, a look that took Rupin by surprise before he chuckled.
This woman, she was pretty interesting. He recognized her now.
“So, you’re Ms. Summers. Pleasure to meet you, all of Spotlight Beauty’s makeup products are being
sold at every Harper Commercial Center. They’re doing very well! Especially those perfumes you
designed.”
Chloe’s eyebrows twitched slightly. Harper Commercial Center?
She finally looked up at him. “And who are you?”
“I’m Rupin. My father runs the biggest mall in P City.”
The biggest mall in P City? Was that the new mall owned by the Harper family? So, his father was the
one in charge of the new mall.
She gave a faint smile, “So you’re Rupin, nice to meet you.”
This slight smile, although faint, was warmer than her previous cold demeanor.
Seeing this change in her, Rhoda felt a jolt of anxiety. Although she hated to admit it, Chloe was indeed
beautiful, had a unique charisma, and was the company’s CEO, not to mention her sharp wit. There
probably weren’t many women in P City who could match her.
Looks, figure, charisma, skills, even wealth… With these qualifications, if she were a man, she would
have been swarmed by women! But she was a woman, a woman who was outstanding in every aspect.
Now that she knew Rupin’s identity, her attitude clearly changed. Clearly she was interested in him.
Rupin was a man she had worked hard to win over. How could she allow another woman to steal him
away?
She gritted her teeth, shot a glare at Chloe, then said to Rupin. “Rupin, you have a meeting to attend,
right? Isn’t it about time?”
Rupin frowned. He had been waiting just so he could see the person he met in his car last night. He
had just met her and hadn’t even said a few words before being interrupted. How could he be in a good
mood?
Chloe said, “If Rupin has work to do, then I won’t hold you up. If you need anything, feel free to let our
staff know. We’ll do our best to accommodate you.”
With that said, Rupin couldn’t object. He responded with a disappointed “Hmm“, “How about dinner
sometime? We’re business partners after all.”
Chloe gave a faint smile, “If there’s a chance, I will.”
Rupin seemed satisfied with the reply and left. Chloe’s smile faded a bit as she turned to look at
Rhoda.
“Is Rupin your boyfriend?”
Rhoda haughtily replied, “Yeah, he is.”
Chloe nodded in agreement, “Even though he’s our guest, I hope you can maintain your
professionalism. You’re still an employee here.”
Rhoda frowned, “…Alright, I got it.”
Chloe glanced at her, “Let me have a look at today’s customer information.”
“Sure!”
Rhoda handed Chloe the electronic records. As Chloe was about to look away from the document, she
noticed a familiar name. She furrowed her brows, handing the electronic record back to Rhoda with a
puzzled look.
Stepping away to ponder, she almost collided with a man. She quickly sidestepped to avoid the
collision. The man also seemed to realize something, hurriedly stopping in his tracks.
“I’m sorry…”
“It’s okay.”
It was a common exchange, but when the man saw Chloe, his expression stiffened a bit.
“Chloe?”
Chloe looked at the man’s unfamiliar face and asked in confusion, “And you are…?”
The man came back to his senses, gave a shy smile, “I’m Fritz. You might not remember me. We were
classmates.”
Chloe thought for a while but drew a blank. “I’m sorry…”
“That’s okay. I wasn’t very noticeable in school, just the one sitting in the corner…”
“You are… the one with the beautiful handwriting!”
Chloe finally realized, her school life had been too busy to pay attention to this unremarkable man. He
wasn’t much of a social butterfly, and nothing really stood out about him; he was indeed unnoticeable.
Fritz laughed, “If it wasn’t for my handwriting, I doubt anyone would remember me.”
Chloe smiled, “So, why are you here?”
She tactfully ended their nostalgia and got back to the point. As Fritz was about to answer, Rhoda beat
him to it. “Fritz, you better get going. Rupin’s
already left. If you don’t hurry, you’ll get scolded again.”
Fritz’s smile faded, and looked at Chloe awkwardly, “I better get back to work then. Dinner… tonight?”
Chloe nodded in agreement, “Sure, go ahead with your work.”
コ
After Fritz left, Rhoda turned to Chloe with a smile. “So, Fritz was your classmate, what a coincidence.
He’s Rupin’s assistant now, and compared to others, he’s doing pretty well.”
Chloe glanced at her, “Just focus on your work.”
After Chloe left, Rhoda sneered, her eyes full of contempt. Dorthy and the others exchanged glances,
frowned, but said nothing.
Near the end of the workday, Rupin seemed to have timed his arrival perfectly, he came looking for
Chloe.
Seeing Chloe, he hurried over, “Ms. Summers, shall we go for dinner together?”
Chloe glanced at her watch, “I’m sorry, I have plans with someone else.”
Rupin was clearly disappointed, but he graciously said, “Next time then.”
Rhoda came out after changing her clothes, saw Rupin and Chloe standing together. She noticed the
unusual light in his eyes. She became anxious, quickly ran over to him, and clung to his arm.
“Rupin, I’m ready. Let’s go!”
Rupin glanced at her, itching to shake her off, but Chloe had already turned and left.
“Let’s go, Rupin. I’m starving,” Rhoda cooed, hooking her arm through Rupin’s and leading him away.
Chloe’s actions were initially just a pretense, but when she turned around, she saw Fritz.
Well… She didn’t have an out this time. She had to eat with him.
They found a decent restaurant near the hotel. On the way, Chloe called Damon to give him a heads–
up.
As soon as he picked up, Damon’s deep voice came through, “Hmm?”
“Okay, so first off, I bumped into a college friend by chance today, so I’m going to have dinner with him
tonight,” Chloe blurted out, afraid that any pause would prevent her from getting her full explanation
out.
