Chapter 89 Ava Hits on a Younger Man
Chloe could not help but chuckle. “Judging by our age, you should be calling me ‘big
sister.””
Adam had changed his hairstyle to dreadlocks since she last saw him a few days ago, giving him a rougher appearance that resembled that of a hooligan. However, there was a certain youthful and delicate quality to his finely chiseled features that hinted he was about nineteen to twenty-one years old.
He was certainly younger than Ava, and Chloe did not know if he was aware of Ava’s age, or if he just preferred women older than him.
“Will you give me your number if I call you ‘big sister?””
“I’m not in the habit of calling random people my brother,” Chloe replied coolly before returning her attention to her work, dismissing him as if he were a kid. “You should go now. We have work to do. If your father sees you here, he’ll probably scold you.”
It had been a long time since someone dared to dismiss him like this. The corner of Adam’s lips twitched as he said, “My dad doesn’t care about me. I’m an adult. Just give me your number, and maybe I’ll buy you a car if I’m in a good mood.”
Chloe could not help but roll her eyes at Adam’s presumptuousness. Giving out her number was out of the question. For one thing, she was not interested in dating someone so much younger than herself, and on another, if Adam could land Ava, he probably was not the most trustworthy person.
Adam was accustomed to being the center of the world and was annoyed when Chloe did not treat him as such. However, as he watched her sitting quietly at the desk, he noticed her delicate, long eyelashes and straight, pretty nose.
Upon closer inspection, he could even make out the fine, soft hairs on her face. Who could resist such a natural beauty? Adam’s anger instantly dissipated as he pondered how to win Chloe’s favor.
At that moment, the administrative assistant outside whispered, “Mr. Adam, Mr. Alexander has arrived. Please come out.’
Startled, Adam scampered away like a mouse fleeing from a cat. The Baxon employees laughed at the sight of this.
Chloe also found it amusing but reminded everyone to keep quiet since they were not at Baxon. Soon, the supervisor responsible for negotiations with Baxon arrived. Chloe and

her team sprang into action, discussing the project with enthusiasm.
“In general, I find the proposal acceptable, but I do have some concerns about the first and last three articles as they don’t quite align with our style. To be more precise, we need to infuse the content with a futuristic touch while preserving a sense of warmth that’s suitable for our real estate specialization. Ultimately, our goal is to ensure that our customers feel at home with our brand.”
“Could you be more specific about your modifications?” asked Chloe.
“In short, it just doesn’t feel quite right,” the supervisor replied.
Chloe listened politely but scolded him under her breath afterward. All clients were the same. They just never get straight to the point.
After taking a deep breath, she maintained her smile and asked, “When do you need
this?”
“No rush,” he replied, glancing at the date. “It’s only the 15th today. You can submit the revision to us by the 17th.”
“Okay…”
Chloe packed up her stuff and prepared to leave Patterson. From behind her, Lily muttered, “He said a bunch of things but didn’t actually say anything. How are we supposed to make changes?”
Lily had just graduated from college and joined Baxon around the same time as Chloe. When Janice accused Chloe of getting into Baxon through the backdoor, she was the one
who stood up for her.
“It’s okay. I’ll make the changes myself. You guys focus on your own tasks,” Chloe
assured her.
“Thank you so much, Ms. Chloe. I heard there’s a department dinner tonight, but I don’t know where it is…” Lily said, but she trailed off mid-sentence. She tugged on Chloe’s sleeve and continued, “Ms. Chloe, look over there.”
Following Lily’s gaze, Chloe saw Adam leaning against a blue Lamborghini, whistling
at them.
Chloe was speechless. She wanted to pretend that she did not see Adam, but Adam was faster than her and stopped her from leaving.
