His Wicked Obsession (Archer and Virginia) novel Chapter 142

Miles openly sat down on the sofa, not even glancing at Chloe.

By this time, Chloe had recovered her wits. She quickly plastered a stiff smile on her face and walked over to greet Miles. "I'm Chloe, Archer's wife, which makes me your—"

"I know who you are." Miles lifted his gaze. He didn't offer his hand, his tone polite yet distant. "Archer and I have things to discuss. Could you leave us alone?"

Chloe's hand hovered in mid-air, her smile barely holding together.

Archer's attention was entirely on his work, completely oblivious to the exchange.

"...Alright. I'll head back first. Archer is usually busy with work, so if you ever need anything, you can come to me."

Chloe gripped her phone tightly, trying hard to maintain her facade.

"No need. I don't really know you."

"..."

At this point, staying any longer would just be asking for humiliation.

She took a deep breath, turned to say goodbye to Archer, and walked out.

After Chloe left, the office fell silent for a few seconds.

Miles took off his baseball cap, tossed it onto the coffee table, and leaned back, finally relaxing.

"Archer, you haven't even officially married her. Why don't you make things clear to her?"

Archer finished reviewing the last line, closed the folder, and picked up his coffee as he looked up at him.

"That's none of your business."

"Why isn't it?" Miles crinkled his nose. "I don't like her at all. Or does she mean something to you..."

"Miles."

Archer set down his coffee cup. His voice wasn't loud, but his chilling expression instantly made Miles shut his mouth.

Miles curled his lip, choosing not to press the issue.

...

After leaving, Chloe headed straight back to the Vanderbilt Estate.
