Roxanne was feeling on top of the world, watching Oliver, the dishonest man, being watched all day by twenty well-organized bodyguards outside, especially the bald one who seemed very serious.
Every time Oliver was in the sight of this bald bodyguard, he was stared down hard.
It was like a warning for Oliver to behave himself.
Oliver was so scared of his glare that he kept his mouth shut like a little boy.
Roxanne was thrilled and tapped on Chloe's desk.
"Chloe, you're really something, bumping into big shots just by walking around. Aren't those twenty bodyguards of his impressive? They're all here to protect you today. You're really living the dream, and it's like something out of a novel."
Chloe still hadn't quite recovered from the unexpected encounter the day before.
Meeting a CEO and being saved by him was something that only happened in novels and TV dramas.
Not only was she saved by a passing CEO, but she also received protection afterward.
This big shot was really a hero and honorable.
Chloe was a bit skeptical about the real purpose of the gentleman saving her yesterday, but she didn't have anything valuable to be exploited.
Roxanne said, "Why overthink it? The moment you decided to divorce Oliver, your luck turned for the better. Maybe your luck will get even better after the divorce."
Chloe glared at Roxanne, "Stop kidding around. I'm a woman who's given birth to two kids and been divorced before. I don't have a good figure or good looks. What kind of luck could I have? I just hope the divorce with Oliver goes smoothly, and there won't be any surprises."
Little did Roxanne know while she was chatting with Chloe, the bodyguards outside were discussing her.
"Is that tall woman with a ponytail the boss's wife?"
"Didn't see her face clearly; but she seems pretty, just a bit ordinary."
"I wonder what our boss was thinking, marrying such an ordinary woman?"
"As long as he likes her, after all, she'll be our boss's wife soon."
The bald bodyguard instructed, "From now on, be careful not to reveal the boss's identity in front of the lady. Even though she's just an ordinary woman, she has her principles. She doesn't covet wealth or fame. If she suddenly finds out about the boss's identity, he's afraid it might scare her. Got it?"
"Got it."
Alexander remembered what Harrison told him yesterday - to add Chloe on WhatsApp.
So, around five o'clock, after he finished his work, he rushed over.
Twenty bodyguards saw him and simultaneously shouted, "Mr. Alexander."
At this moment, Oliver came out from inside. Seeing Alexander, he immediately turned around and retreated.
"Why run?"
At this time, Roxanne and Chloe came out of work together.
Alexander focused his attention on Roxanne and Chloe.
He pretended not to know Roxanne, then looked at Chloe and said, "We meet again!"
Chloe nodded and smiled, "We meet again, Mr. Alexander."
Alexander went straight to the point, "I can't keep these 20 bodyguards here all the time. I thought about it and decided it's better to have your phone number for future contact. If that man dares to abuse you again, call me immediately; I'll take care of him."
Chloe thought for a moment.
Roxanne, on the side, felt that the man in front of her looked familiar but couldn't remember where she had seen him.
Chloe asked, "Can I really have your phone number?"
Alexander said, "Of course. Didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to invite me for a meal?"
Chloe laughed and said, "Mr. Alexander has helped me a lot. If you're willing, of course, I would like to invite you for a meal."
But she didn't know where to invite such a rich man to eat. Which restaurant would be more decent?
Definitely not those small restaurants, at least something more luxurious. But Chloe hadn't been to any high-end places before.
