Chapter 503 Trickey Michael had deceived both Tom and Chloe.
Michael felt wronged. He really didn't know.
"If you hadn't told Tom that Admas broke his leg, I wouldn't have dropped my work and rushed over," Chloe said. She was worried that Amanda would think she broke her promise.
Michael was stunned for a moment before realizing why Chloe had hurried over that day. He was deceived too.
"Who told you?" He asked.
"Tom," Chloe replied.
Michael paused for a second. "Did you meet Tom on the way?" Chloe snorted and didn't reply.
While driving, Michael said, "I didn't know it was Gigi. When Tom called me, the signal was bad. I only heard Grandpa and broken legs. I thought Grandpa was hurt." Chloe took his words with a pinch of salt.
He could even transfer money to her just to talk. What else could he not do? And why would the phone signal suddenly be bad? "I really didn't lie to you," Michael added.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe wanted someone to vouch for him, but he was alone in the study when he took the call.
He was at a loss.
"If your work was affected, I can explain for you," he managed to say.
He knew Chloe was still working at Bright Moon International. If he stepped in, no one would say anything about it.
"No need. I'd be grateful if you could dropoff in the city center," Chloe said.
She'd be in trouble whenever she encountered anything related to him.
They both fell silent.
After a while, Chloe said, "I need to go back to the Lotus Manor in a few days to get my books." Michael was overjoyed to hear she was going back to the Lotus Manor.
But his mood soared when he heard she was only going to get her books.
During their separation, he saw the entire set of poetry she left in the study.
He read all those poems during his daily visits.
The author loved using roses as metaphors. Michael realized why Chloe always asked for roses those first three years.
To her, every rose was unique.
But he rarely sent flowers. If she insisted, he would send other gifts like bags or jewelry.
But there were never flowers.
He thought for a moment and said, "Lete know when you go. I'll have Emma pack your things and leaket them in the living room." Chloe thought he would try to make her stay longer at the Lotus Manor, but he agreed so readily. "Okay," she responded.
That set of poetry would gather dust in his study if she didn't take it. He wouldn't read it anyway.
In those three years, he never showed interest in what she liked.
Michael didn't drop her off in the business area but took her directly to the restaurant.
"Who are you having dinner with today?" He asked.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmChloe paused while unbuckling her seatbelt, "None of your business!" She walked into the restaurant, leaving Michael feeling anxious. He wanted to know who she was dining with.
He watched Chloe enter and disappear around a corner on the second floor.
He tried to follow but was stopped. by a waiter at the stairs. "Sorry sic It's the upper floor is booked todaybelongs to en.kikistorient not open to the public." Michael frowned. "I know the one who just went up."
Too many people had used this trick to sneak in. With disdain, the waiter glanced at him and said, "Sir, if you know her, why not ask her to cdown and get you?"
The waiter found it unbelievable that someone dressed so well as Michael was trying to get a free meal from Επ them.
Michael was rendered speechless. If he could ask Chloe to cdown, he e wouldn't be sneaking around. The waiter mistook Michael's silence for surrendering.
"Sir, if you don't know anyone here, please leave and don't disturb our guests," he said.
Michael was furious and eager to reveal his identity.
But doing that would seem too arrogant, so he held back.
Chloe entered the private room, and everyone looked at her.
She bowed apologetically. "Sorry, I'm late." X
