Chapter 61 Is It Your Girlfriend?
Ethan’s expression remained indifferent. “As you wish.”
“Are you here with a friend?” Chloe asked.
“Yes.”

Chloe craned her neck, trying to peek through the gap in the doorway. “With who? Is it your girlfriend
Anyone with half a brain could tell what she was really doing-using a casual question to fish for his relationship status.
“I don’t have a girlfriend,” Ethan said.
Chloe felt a sudden surge of delight. “Oh, then—”
“But I do have a fiancée,” Ethan cut in.
The smile froze on Chloe’s face.
But just when it seemed like she might back down, she suddenly laughed it off. “So, are you here with her?”
“No.”
“I don’t believe you,” Chloe teased. “Is she just so beautiful that you’re hiding her away from the rest of the world?”
Before Ethan could say a word, Chloe pushed the door wide open.
Ethan’s brows furrowed instantly at her blatant lack of manners.
Inside the private room, Zack was sitting alone. He caught Ethan’s eye and gave him a subtle look. Ethan glanced toward the wardrobe out of the corner of his eye.
He had intentionally called out “Ms. Vance” earlier just so Jasmine would hear him. He knew Chloe had no sense of boundaries and might barge in, which would ruin everything.
As it turned out, the young lady of the Vance family really didn’t have a shred of manners.
What Ethan was too polite to say, Zack delivered without hesitation.
“Ms. Vance,” Zack said coldly. “This is a private room. Don’t you think it’s incredibly rude to just barge in like this?”
Chloe kept her smile plastered on. “I just thought Ethan’s fiancée was in here. I was curious to see her, that’s all.”
Zack couldn’t hide his disgust. “Well, you’ve seen. Can you leave now?”
Chloe’s smile vanished. “Who do you think you are?”

She couldn’t believe his nerve.
Did this guy have no idea she was the eldest daughter of the Vance family?
“I am Mr. Brooks’s assistant,” Zack replied.
Chloe scoffed inwardly.
Just a lousy assistant. Who gave him the right to talk to me like that?

Still, he worked for the man she liked, and she knew she had to respect the owner before kicking the dog. Even though she looked down on Zack, she managed to keep her contempt to herself.
Zack officially showed her the door. “Ms. Vance, please leave. Mr. Brooks and I have business to discuss.”
Ignoring Zack entirely, Chloe stepped up to Ethan. “It’s my birthday in a few days, and my brother promised to throw me a big party. Will you come?”
Ethan looked at her as if she had lost her mind. “Ms. Vance, we are not friends.”
“Why do you keep calling me Ms. Vance? Just call me Chloe,” she wheedled. “Besides, we’ve met twice now. That counts as knowing each other.”
Ethan was completely over the conversation.
“Ms. Vance,” Zack cut in, “Mr. Brooks has an incredibly tight schedule. He doesn’t have time to attend your birthday party.”
Chloe glared at him. “I am speaking to your boss. Why do you keep interrupting? You’re just an assistant— where are your manners?”
Ethan’s brow furrowed. “He may be my assistant, Ms. Vance, but he is also my close friend. Watch your
tone.”
A warm wave of gratitude washed over Zack. After all these years, he knew he had chosen the right man to follow.
Seeing that Ethan was genuinely angry, Chloe rushed to apologize. “I’m so sorry, I misspoke.”
Her apology was sweet and perfectly sincere, leaving Jasmine completely stunned inside the wardrobe.
Was this really the Chloe she knew? The girl used to rather die than admit she was wrong. The sun must have risen in the west today.
Distracted by her shock, Jasmine shifted and accidentally bumped her elbow against the wood, sending a sharp thud echoing through the room.
All three people froze.
“Wait, Chloe said, blinking. “Did that sound come from the wardrobe?”

Terrified, Zack lunged forward to block her path. “You misheard, Ms. Vance. There was no sound,”
“I’m not deaf,” Chloe insisted, trying to peer past him. “It definitely came from inside there. Let me look.”
Were they hiding someone from her? The more they tried to stop her, the more desperate she was to find out.
