Chapter 22


    The mood suddenly got a bit tense as soon as she finished speaking.


    “No biggie, Chloe Who hasn’t had a few crappy romances in their youth? Remember how you


    comforted me when I got dumped in college?” Rose said


    Chloe’s gaze faltered for a moment, not saying a word. Rose sighed softly, murmuring to herself,


    ‘Peoplee and go in life, no point fussing over where they came from or where they’re heading


    to. As long as we go with the flow, life is pretty good everywhere Lance was just a passerby in your


    life, no need to spend too much time on him Chloe, you’re so great, you deserve someone better”


    She deserved someone better


    The hand Chloe was holding her phone with suddenly tightened, a familiar yet strange face shed


    in her mind.


    But only for a moment, she then quietly cracked a slight smile


    Seemed like she was really messed up, even connecting unrted things.


    “Chloe are you okay? Rose asked


    Chloe snapped back, I’m fine I just think you’re right”


    Rose let out a relieved sigh on the other end of the phone, “Alright, rest up, I need to get busy.”


    “Okay” Chloe answered.


    But just as she was about to hang up, Rose’s voice came again,


    “Hold up. Chloe”


    “Hmm“” Chloe asked


    “Um are you nning on continuing to work at Lance’spany?” Rose asked.


    Chloe was a bit taken aback, she hadn’t thought about this yet


    “Thing is, the Research & Development Department is short–staffed, if you don’t want to stay with


    Lance, could you help me out? I know you’ve got Starlight International to run, but I really need help


    Rose said.


    Chloe pondered for a moment, then softly said,


    “Since we’ve broken up, I don’t have a reason to keep working at hispany I’ve gotten used to a


    busy life over the years. If you need me, I can help out anytime.* “Ah–darling, you’re a lifesaver!


    Whatever you need, just say it- pouring water, massaging, rubbing legs, anything as long as I can


    get you, it’s worth it.”


    Rose was rarely this excited, it helped to lift Chloe’s spirits.


    Chloe chuckled, “You’re reallyying it on thick.”


    “Is that too much? I’m the luckiest person in the world, okay? You’re very important” Rose said


    “Alright, alright, calm down, don’t you have things to do? Go get them done.” Chloe said.


    “Okay!”


    Rose sounded much more cheerful after solving a big problem, then she hung up casually


    After the call, Chloe’s thoughts were somewhat dispersed. She was about to stand up and go for a


    walk, get some fresh air, when the phone rang again.


    She hesitated for a moment, picked up the phone, and saw a strangendline number on the


    screen.


    She hesitated a bit, thinking it was a client from Lance’spany, but she answered the phone


    anyway.

    “Hello, Chloe’s voice became more professional


    “His this Chloe“”


    The voice was full of energy and it was clear that the person on the phone was not young.


    A trace of confusion shed in Chloe’s eyes,


    Yes, it is May I ask who?”


    ‘I’m the olddy you saw under the gardenia treest time I heard from Nate that you wanted to


    meet me.” The other person said.


    Chloes confusion immediately disappeared


    “Yes, I promised to chat with you, but I haven’t called you for so many days, I’m really sorry” Chloe


    said


    “It’s okay, your healthes first! So, if you’re free now,e over, I’ll have Nate pick you up The


    olddy said.


    Chloe looked at the weather outside and replied with a smile,


    “Alright
