After Divorcing my Captain Husband (Chloe and Michael)

Chapter 377 Don't Be Unreasonable

Chloe was surprised, thinking, "Is Ms. Cooper James' fiancée?"

James came out of the elevator at that moment. Seeing Chloe standing still, he whispered, "Are you standing here in a daze? Come in with me."

The employees around him all immediately shut their mouths the moment they saw him.

Inside the office, Chloe sat on the sofa glancing James from head to toe.

"Is this the first day you've seen me? Or am I just too charming for you to avert your gaze today?"

Chloe had been staring at him since she came in.

James felt very embarrassed.

Chloe heard it and sighed, "I didn't realize Mr. Dale was getting married soon. Congratulations!"

James frowned. "What are you babbling about?"

"What? Aren't all your fiancées working at the company? The employees out there have known about it all."

James took off his glasses.

"Fiancée? Did you hallucinate from what you ate and were poisoned?"

James didn't know he had a fiancée.

Chloe recounted what she had just seen outside herself.

"Isn't Ms. Cooper your fiancée? She's so arrogant."

If she casually fired an employee, she'd be in arbitration.

James looked furious after hearing that.

Vicky Cooper was Asher's nominal niece. Although she and James were about the same age, they remained in the same relationship.

She had worked at the Bright Moon International before, and James hadn't paid much attention to her.

He would at most greet Vicky when he occasionally bumped into her at work for the sake of Vicky being Asher's niece.

When did she become his fiancée?

Chloe didn't want to be nosy, thinking of her previous days of being looked down upon and bullied when she was at the Paramount Airlines.

So she said gently, "It's not easy being an intern. If Vicky isn't your fiancée, you should manage this."

James looked furious.

He hated it when people schemed on him.

"I see. Smith said there was an urgent project that you needed to handle. I have a break room over in my office with a darkroom and computer, so you can use it over there." Chloe responded and headed over there.

The project Smith had given her wasn't exactly difficult, and it was just a simple program to help Mythica.

Chloe finished in less than half an hour.

On the video call screen between Chloe and Smith, Smith said, "Jioleek, he hasn't caused you any trouble these days, has he?"

Chloe smiled, "No, I can handle it all, and he's been better behaved lately."

Smith was relieved to hear that.

"Thanks. He's just spoiled."

His words sounded both doting and a bit helpless.

"Smith, I don't know if I should say something."

Chloe could indeed just take the money and ignore the rest.

But she wasn't that indifferent.

As Smith nodded, she said, "Some birds aren't meant to be caged, that's all. Their feathers are just too bright."

That was a line from "The Shawshank Redemption".

Some birds couldn't be shut up, and James was one of those birds.

Smith was silent for a moment and smiled softly, "Thank you for today, and I'll credit your account."

With that, he hung up the video call.

Chloe sighed softly. She had said what needed to be said. What Smith was going to decide was out of her control.

"It's done..."

Chloe hadn't even had time to look up after coming out of the break room when she realized he was not the only one in his office.

Vicky looked at Chloe incredulously as she stepped out of it. "Why is she in your break room?"

Everyone knew exactly what they were doing in the break room.

James frowned. "What does that have to do with you?"

He had called Vicky in just to make sure she recognized her identity and didn't cross the line.

"Why doesn't this have anything to do with me? James, don't forget that you promised Asher that you'd..."

"That was playing house when we were kids, so don't be unreasonable. If you don't want this job, you can get out of here as soon as possible!"

James had always stayed in the military, and he had confronted men all the time.

Now that he was facing a girl, so he couldn't respond properly.

He had already expressed himself politely enough.

But Vicky still burst into tears on the spot.
