Boomerang Love

Naomi was a clever woman. Whenever she didn't want to argue with someone, she would let it slide, regardless of whether that person had truly made a mistake.

If that person insisted on clearing things up, they would be the one who ended up being embarrassed.

Hence, whenever she and Brendan had any arguments, she would not make any mention of a third party as long as Brendan didn't bring it up. She would only keep their arguments focused on the issues within their relationship.

"I admit that I admire you, Brendan. I think that you are a very capable man. But, I don't see you in the way that you and Naomi may think.

"More importantly, I truly appreciate you and Naomi because you've been a great help to me. I want to apologize to you and Naomi if my gratitude caused any misunderstandings between you two," Chloe explained.

Brendan replied, "Chloe, there will be no changes to your job or salary. Other than that, Naomi wouldn't make things difficult for you. So, don't overthink it."

Brendan was not going to entertain the points that Chloe brought up.

Back then, he promised Sophia that he would watch over her. This was a promise that he would keep.

Chloe fixed her eyes on Brendan. She was aware that he had always compared herself to Naomi. He had always seen her as Sophia's substitute.

After staring at Brendan for a while, Chloe asked, "Have you moved on from Sophia, Brendan? Are you over her?"

Brendan looked at her and responded icily, "I haven't moved on or gotten over her. But, you're not her.

Upon hearing that, Chloe stayed silent for a long time.

She remained seated across from Brendan for a while. He had gone back to work, as if nothing had happened. So, she got up and left.

Chloe closed his office door softly. When she looked up, she spotted Naomi storming in her direction with some documents in her hands.

Chloe put on a smile on her face immediately. "Hi, Naomi."

As much as she was feeling upset, she couldn't allow Naomi to find out. She couldn't let Naomi witness her embarrassment.

"Hey!" Naomi greeted her cordially as usual.

Naomi walked past Chloe with the documents that she was carrying. At that moment, Chloe turned around toward Naomi and asked, "Naomi, did you misunderstand me and..."

Naomi stopped in her tracks. She cut Chloe off by smiling and saying, "I don't really care what you think. If Chapter 197

there's anything, Brendan will discuss it with me directly."

Naomi had already seen through Chloe's trickery.

Moreover, she couldn't be bothered by who he fancied, who he was being nice to, or who he couldn't get over.

She was only concerned about whether the Goodwin Corporation was profitable, and whether she could win her cases.

She had already slept with Brendan. So, she was also thinking about when she would be able to complete this important life mission by getting pregnant.

Naomi's concise response made Chloe hesitate.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

In reality, it didn't matter what she said or did. She had never affected Naomi in any way.

She stared at Naomi for a moment before letting don't have ut a slow exhale. "All is well as long as you any misunderstandings."

Naomi gave Chloe a pat on her shoulder. "Work hard. Half of Ludwig e is hard t Corporation is mine anyway."

Chloe had said so much nonsense. Wouldn't it be better if she helped the company reap more profits? That way, Naomi could use the money for her retirement fund next time.

Chloe gulped. "Will do."

After speaking with Chloe, Naomi pushed open the door to Brendan's office and entered.

Brendan was still at his desk. He noticed that his door had been opened again.

When he looked up and saw that it was Naomi, a faint smile appeared on his face instantly. He looked like a completely different person than he was earlier.

Naomi approached him without much expression on her face. He asked, "You bumped into her?"
