The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 49

Nate, who was off to the side, couldn't help but twitch his mouth in silent contemplation.

He didn't mean to rebuke his friend, not really.

It was just that his friend...had changed.

Changed to the point that he was unrecognizable.

Who would have thought that just moments ago in the meeting room, he merely sat there, his gaze alone enough to make people shudder, and then he turned around and answered the phone so gently?

Gentle?

Someone so cold-hearted, could actually be gentle?

Now that was a sight to behold.

What about all those women who were smitten by him?

Chloe, upon hearing his voice, didn't think there was anything amiss.

"I know."

She pulled off her covers, slipped into her slippers, and got off the bed. She stood by the window, her hand draped in front of her, looking at the view outside. Her gaze inadvertently landed on the tallest building in the city that stood out in the distance.

One person stood in the highest floor of the city; another stood in an inconspicuous corner of the city.

One in uniform, another in pajamas.

Two people who were worlds apart, now stood by their windows, facing each other across the bustling city.

"Just woke up?"

"...Yeah." Chloe paused before responding.

"I heard you quit your job today."

Nate didn't say anything beside him.

He already knew the outcome, yet he acted like he didn't.

What a sly fox!

That phrase suddenly popped into Nate's head, startling himself.

Such disrespect!

Chloe remembered mentioning this to her grandma that day, and Damon was also there.

It was only normal for him to know.

"Yeah, I quit."

Damon still smiled slightly, "That's good."

Chloe didn't say anything.
