She did not expect that what Chloe had just told her was true.
But earlier, she mocked Chloe as some bimbo who was trying to seduce their president. Right now she just want to vanish into thin air.
Her legs went weak and trembled out of control at the thought. The fear of losing her job was painfully gnawed at her.
Nothing happened. The telephone did not even ring for the entire afternoon. She breathed a relieved sigh.
She was nobody. She guessed that Nolan's wife would not take her seriously.
It was well known in the company that their president was already married, but she had never seen his wife around. Moreover, it was said that Nolan loved his wife very much.
There had been no woman around Nolan all these years. So this strange woman who suddenly appeared this afternoon should be his wife, considering the way he treated her. The President seemed very intimate with her.
Upon seeing so many people coming and going, Nolan kept a straight face and did not say a word.
No one dared to look directly at him, so there was no need for him to worry about being seen.
Nolan was fearless and so was Chloe. She was not the one who should be embarrassed.
After entering the office, Nolan did not have the slightest intention of putting her down.
He just started to work with Chloe on his lap.
He didn't care that it was in his office in broad daylight.
Chloe was now imprisoned in his arms, unable to do anything or make big movements. After a while, she began to feel bored.
She moved and said, "Put me down."
Although he was working, his hands still locked her tightly in his arms. Otherwise, she would have jumped out of them already.
Nolan did not say anything. His reaction was obvious: he simply did not want Chloe out of his arms.
Chloe was speechless.
"What are you doing? Let me go!"
As Chloe wriggled back and forth, she did not notice that Nolan's eyes were becoming more and more intense.
Seeming to have sensed something, she obediently stopped and remained still in Nolan's arms.
"You beast! You're such a shameless man!"
"If you continue to say that, I won't mind acting like it."
Hearing what Nolan had said, Chloe stared at him with her eyes wide open. She had not expected him to say something like that.
Anyway, she knew clearly how to behave properly considering the situation. She realized something and stopped struggling. She knew that she would be the one to suffer in the end if she did not stop.
Not knowing how long it took, Nolan had finally finished the last document. Just then, a drowsy feeling crept over Chloe.
Nolan's eyes were full of tenderness as he watched Chloe sleep.
But he did not leave.
After all, his office provided enough privacy for them.
It was already dark when Chloe and Nolan got out of the office. There was nobody left in the building except for the security personnel.
