The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 22

The mood suddenly got a bit tense as soon as she finished speaking.

"No biggie, Chloe. Who hasn't had a few crappy romances in their youth? Remember how you comforted me when I got dumped in college?" Rose said.

Chloe's gaze faltered for a moment, not saying a word. Rose sighed softly, murmuring to herself,

"People come and go in life, no point fussing over where they came from or where they're heading to. As long as we go with the flow, life is pretty good everywhere. Lance was just a passerby in your life, no need to spend too much time on him. Chloe, you're so great, you deserve someone better."

She deserved someone better.

The hand Chloe was holding her phone with suddenly tightened, a familiar yet strange face flashed in her mind.

But only for a moment, she then quietly cracked a slight smile.

Seemed like she was really messed up, even connecting unrelated things.

"Chloe...are you okay?" Rose asked.

Chloe snapped back, "I'm fine. I just think you're right."

Rose let out a relieved sigh on the other end of the phone, "Alright, rest up, I need to get busy."

"Okay." Chloe answered.

But just as she was about to hang up, Rose's voice came again,

"Hold up, Chloe!"

"Hmm?" Chloe asked.

"Um...are you planning on continuing to work at Lance's company?" Rose asked.

Chloe was a bit taken aback; she hadn't thought about this yet.

"Thing is, the Research & Development Department is short-staffed, if you don't want to stay with Lance, could you help me out? I know you've got Starlight International to run, but I really need help." Rose said.

Chloe pondered for a moment, then softly said,

"Since we've broken up, I don't have a reason to keep working at his company. I've gotten used to a busy life over the years. If you need me, I can help out anytime."
