Chapter 67
I noticed that Tristan liked to stroke my hair, as if he was comforting an agitated cat.
He said, “I’ll be on a business trip for the next two days, so call Melvin if you need anything. Remember, try not to get into any trouble.”
“Okay,” I agreed.
After Tristan was done talking, he took his blazer and was about to leave.
Margaret, who was done with her kitchen chores, happened to come out. She called out, “Mr. Zook, why are you leaving? Aren’t you going to stay and rest?”
I was at a loss for words.
Tristan smiled politely at Margaret. “No. I’m leaving. I’ll be on a business trip for the next few days, so I’ll have to trouble you to take good care of Wyn.”
Margaret grinned from ear to ear, as if looking at her son–in–law. “I know. Ms. Lambert is just like my daughter, so pretty and obedient. I’ll take good care of her even if you don’t remind
me.”
Tristan smiled and said gently to me, “Be good and stay at home. Wait for me to come back.”
I instantly felt my ears getting hot.
After Tristan left, Margaret was complimenting him, “Mr. Zook is such a gentleman. He is always so classy. He cares about you very much. You are really lucky.”
Feeling embarrassed, I quickly escaped into my room.
Around 10:00 pm, Chloe came with a lot of bags.
I hurriedly helped her with her things.
When Chloe saw the house, she complimented, “Oh my! This house is not bad. Did Tristan. arrange it for you? So you are the only one living in such a big house? Does this mean you his secret girlfriend?”
are
I hurriedly covered her mouth. “Don’t talk nonsense. I already told you that we are not dating.
Chloe begged for my forgiveness, “Fine, you guys are not dating. Both of you are innocent.”
I found what Chloe said sounded weird.
Fortunately, she was just joking. After that, she happily went to check out the guest room.
After checking out the room, she said excitedly, “Ms. Lambert, the heiress, I’ve decided to follow you from now on! You were born with a silver spoon in your mouth. Just look at you!
After you left Jameson, you ran into a nice person like Tristan. I can feel that for great wealth!”
She exclaimed, “Any of these guest rooms are way better than my place!”
I was puzzled. “I thought the place you rented was quite okay.”
you are destined
Chloe pursed her lips. “Okay, my foot! It’s a house built in 2,000. The decoration is terrible. If it wasn’t close to my office, I wouldn’t even bother to rent it.”
I suddenly remembered Chloe’s complaints and realized what she meant.
Chloe’s family was rich when she was little. However, her father didn’t manage the family’s finances well and had an affair with a gold digger
Her father squandered a large portion of the Thompson family’s assets, while her brother spent the rest on investments. So, Chloe had no choice but to give up on studying further after she graduated and start working.
It was impressive that Chloe managed to persevere without complaining or feeling discouraged in these past few years.
Now, she almost lost her job because of me.
When she turned around, she was shocked. She hurriedly grabbed me and asked, “What’s wrong? Why are you crying all of a sudden?”
I rubbed my eyes and said sadly, “I think I’m too selfish. I gave my heart to someone who doesn’t deserve it, yet I haven’t been good enough to the one who really has feelings for me. I have even put your job at risk.”
When Chloe heard this, she waved her hand casually. “It’s not a big deal. I wanted to quit ages. ago. It just so happened that Jameson did me a favor. Once I’ve had enough rest, I’ll go to the company and look for the HR executive to ask for termination pay.”
I stopped crying and laughed instead. Soon, I felt sad again. I wondered what Chloe and I should do.
The more the merrier, but two heads were better than one.
