She did not expect that what Chloe had just told her was true.
But earlier, she mocked Chloe as some bimbo who was trying to seduce their president. Right now she
just want to vanish into thin air.
Her legs went weak and trembled out of control at the thought. The fear of losing her job was painfully
gnawed at her.
Nothing happened. The telephone did not even ring for the entire afternoon. She breathed a relieved
sigh.
She was nobody. She guessed that Nolan's wife would not take her seriously.
It was well known in the company that their president was already married, but she had never seen his
wife around. Moreover, it was said that Nolan loved his wife very much.
There had been no woman around Nolan all these years. So this strange woman who suddenly
appeared this afternoon should be his wife, considering the way he treated her. The President seemed
very intimate with her.
Upon seeing so many people coming and going, Nolan kept a straight face and did not say a word.
No one dared to look directly at him, so there was no need for him to worry about being seen.
Nolan was fearless and so was Chloe. She was not the one who should be embarrassed.
After entering the office, Nolan did not have the slightest intention of putting her down.
He just started to work with Chloe on his lap.
He didn't care that it was in his office in broad daylight.
Chloe was now imprisoned in his arms, unable to do anything or make big movements. After a while,
she began to feel bored.
She moved and said, "Put me down."
Although he was working, his hands still locked her tightly in his arms. Otherwise, she would have
jumped out of them already.
Nolan did not say anything. His reaction was obvious: he simply did not want Chloe out of his arms.
Chloe was speechless.
"What are you doing? Let me go!"
As Chloe wriggled back and forth, she did not notice that Nolan's eyes were becoming more and more
intense.
Seeming to have sensed something, she obediently stopped and remained still in Nolan's arms.
"You beast! You're such a shameless man!"
"If you continue to say that, I won't mind acting like it."
Hearing what Nolan had said, Chloe stared at him with her eyes wide open. She had not expected him
to say something like that.
Anyway, she knew clearly how to behave properly considering the situation. She realized something
and stopped struggling. She knew that she would be the one to suffer in the end if she did not stop.
Not knowing how long it took, Nolan had finally finished the last document. Just then, a drowsy feeling
crept over Chloe.
Nolan's eyes were full of tenderness as he watched Chloe sleep.
But he did not leave.
After all, his office provided enough privacy for them.
It was already dark when Chloe and Nolan got out of the office. There was nobody left in the building
except for the security personnel.
Chloe was still in Nolan's arms, but he was no longer as energetic as before.
Chloe sneered as he carried her out the door.
It turned out that it was what Nolan wanted, to make her come to his office.
And for her sake. And for her to get some sleep.
Since then, she had another level of understanding of Nolan's office.
After she took over the Tang Group, she went to the office every day. With Derrick's help, everything
went smoothly in the company.
It did not take much time to change the name of the Tang Group to Nan Group.
Although the senior directors objected to it, there was nothing they could do. As president with
sovereign authority, Chloe had the right of final decision and that was it.
As for Sarah, something happened to her.
After leaving the Tang Group, she thought the person who texted her that day was just pulling a prank.
Because of her professional experience and her ability in business, she thought she would be put on a
pedestal no matter where she went.
But to her surprise, not even one company would hire her with the mention of the company she had
worked for before.
No company would accept her. All companies refused her politely. In the beginning, Sarah did not know
much about it. She sneered, dismissing those companies as collectives with no vision.
But then when she went to many other companies, almost all of them were like this. It was then that
Sarah finally understood the meaning of the text message.
This was real despair.
Sarah could not accept such a turnout of events. She was on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
When she was at the end of her wits, she got another message from the number she had not received
a message from for a long time.
"You feel desperate yet? Do you now have the same feeling as someone whom you pushed to the
brink of desperation?"
After reading the message, it reminded her of what she had done five years ago.
Until now she did not think she did anything wrong because every man lived for himself.
She just wanted to survive in that company.
But what she did not realize was that she had forced another person into a corner just for the sake of
her better survival.
At the thought of the new president, Sarah suddenly was crystal clear about the whole matter.
Obviously, Chloe did all this to her for the sake of revenge. The new president was giving her a dose of
her own medicine.
After what had happened later on, Chloe neither cared nor wanted to pay any attention to it. It was
Sarah who had pushed Ashley into a corner, and she did not care about it. As for whether Sarah could
bear it or not, it was not Chloe's business.
On a Saturday...
Without going to work, Chloe decided to visit Cynthia.
Chloe was Ashley's close friend. Also, Ashley had told her to visit Cynthia if she had time.
Occasionally, Chloe would go to Cynthia's house.
Nolan was on a business trip, so there was no one at home. Staying at home alone was a boring thing,
and that was part of the reason Chloe went to visit Cynthia.
