CHAPTER 449: CHAPTER 449: CHLOE’S AWKWARD CHAT WITH UNCLE MORGAN 9

"I’m so furious. Thinking about how you’re being bullied by Lily Grant like this and don’t know how to fight back, I got carried away and told him," Jodie Cooper replied.

But looking at her, Chloe Grant clearly felt something was off.

Jodie Cooper wouldn’t let Chloe Grant press further and grabbed her for a meal, "Hurry up and eat, or you’ll be late for the company.

It’s really outrageous for a little intern to be late, huh!"

Chloe Grant still had questions she wanted to ask, but Jodie Cooper also reminded her that there really wasn’t time now.

...

In fact, Benjamin Grant was absolutely right.

Chloe Grant’s outfit for work left everyone in the office amazed.

While Chloe Grant was in the bathroom, she overheard someone outside gossiping:

"You tell me, where did a little intern get the money for an outfit like that? It must cost tens of thousands, right?"

"Either it’s fake, or a sugar daddy bought it."

"I think it’s a sugar daddy. Didn’t Lily say before that the night before the manager stepped down, she was with the manager? I reckon both of them have something to do with the manager!"

...

Chloe Grant, standing in the bathroom, listened to the increasingly unbearable gossip about herself. Finally, she couldn’t hold back anymore and pushed the door open, walking out!

With the subject of the gossip suddenly appearing, the scene was naturally awkward.

Several people exchanged glances and eventually found excuses to leave.

Chloe Grant acted as if nothing had happened, washed her hands, went out, and continued her work.

Around eleven in the morning, Matthew Morgan arrived downstairs at Chloe Grant’s company.

Chloe Grant specifically touched up her makeup before leaving and then went downstairs.

Matthew Morgan had driven himself, and the flashy Lamborghini became the focus the moment it was parked at the entrance.

As Chloe Grant came downstairs, Matthew Morgan got out of the car to open the door for her.

Chloe Grant got in.

Matthew Morgan habitually leaned over and pulled on her seatbelt.

While he was doing this, the two were so close that they could hear each other’s breathing.

Chloe Grant felt very nervous inside.

She initially thought that after fastening her seatbelt, Matthew Morgan would rise immediately, but unexpectedly, he turned his head to face her, "What’s up?"

His voice was still soft, paired with those flawless features... Chloe Grant was momentarily dumbfounded.

"Ah?" she slightly opened her small mouth.

Matthew Morgan looked at her soft little mouth, slightly open, like a delicious dessert inviting him to taste.

His brow furrowed and he suddenly got up from over Chloe Grant, then forcefully closed the car door.

Chloe Grant trembled slightly...

She watched as Matthew Morgan leaned over the hood, that stern profile made her think he was angry.

But...

Why was he angry?

Was it because she didn’t fasten her seatbelt?

Or because she didn’t look good today?

Or maybe...

Matthew Morgan’s actions left Chloe Grant feeling chaotic inside.

The car had been driving for quite a while, but she still dared not speak, the atmosphere inside the car wasn’t relaxed.

Chloe Grant’s internship place was not far from Matthew Morgan’s company; they were on the same road.

It was just relatively traffic-heavy, so it took more than ten minutes to reach the Japanese restaurant Chloe Grant mentioned.

After parking the car and unfastening the seatbelt, Matthew Morgan was just about to get out of the car when Chloe Grant also unbuckled her seatbelt and was reaching out to open the car door...

"Sit," Matthew Morgan said concisely.

Even in the most ordinary tone, there was a commanding dominance of someone in authority.
