He Cheated I Rose Making Him Regret Everything (Chloe and Arthur) novel Chapter 636

The chef had done a fantastic job. Thanks to his cooking, the beef's flavor really came through, and there wasn't a hint of gaminess to it.

As for the dessert, Chloe took a bite and realized the inside was foie gras. The outer layer was crisp and fresh, with a subtle taste she couldn't quite put her finger on—but she actually found it pretty delicious.

Vincent watched Chloe slowly work her way through the meal and gave a faint smile.

Eventually, they polished off everything on their plates. Chloe set down her knife and fork gracefully, then looked across the table at the man opposite her. "Can you tell me now?"

Vincent noticed how eager she was and how hard she was trying to keep her composure. He spoke softly. "The second task... to be honest, it wasn't something I'd originally planned."

"I figured." When he'd first given her the first task, it had already been tough enough. Even Chloe hadn't expected to pull it off that easily.

"Since you kept asking me about the second task, and then today, right when you texted me that you were heading to Oralia's awards ceremony, an idea suddenly popped into my head." Vincent said it calmly, then paused and left the sentence unfinished.

Chloe looked back at him with a strange expression in her eyes—one that wasn't particularly friendly.

Vincent caught her look and gave a faint smile. "Relax. The first time, I really was trying to make it hard for you. But since you got it done, I'm not going to give you a hard time this time. Honestly, this one's a gift."

At that, Chloe's eyes narrowed slightly. She didn't let any emotion show on her face, just kept staring at him seriously, waiting to hear what he'd say next.

A gift? That wasn't Vincent's style. The only people who ever got the better of Vincent were probably dead.

Vincent looked at her, then shifted in his seat to get more comfortable. He took out his phone and pulled up the message Chloe had sent him—the invitation details.

"This event looks interesting," he said, changing the subject. "Everyone there will be dressed up. Men, women—it should be quite a sight. So, I'm going too."

"If you wanted to go to an event like this, it'd be easy for you," Chloe said with a frown. Given Vincent's status, he could show up in a dozen different ways. He could even get on stage and hand out awards as the host's representative. But he'd never be that bored. He never went to pointless events like this. Vincent never made public appearances. As the head of Silverash, he definitely wouldn't just show up anywhere.

"What does any of this have to do with the second task?" Chloe asked, confused. She had no idea what any of that had to do with the second task.
