Chapter 224



Chloe had a lot going on in her life, and Winston was no stranger to most of it. For example, he knew about the whole mix-up with Lisa. But now, things seemed way more complicated than she'd imagined. Chloe was completely stumped. So, for now, she decided to keep it under wraps.

Sensing Chloe's hesitation, Winston didn't press. "I'm short on staff right now, so it'll take two days. Come back for the report then," he said. Chloe responded, "I'm heading to Paris for a week tomorrow. I'll grab the report when I'm back."

That afternoon, Chloe informed Tony she was taking the ten days of annual leave they'd agreed on. Since Tony had already approved it, he couldn't back out now.

In the evening, Chloe went to Greenpeace Estate to pack her things. As she pulled up, she noticed the lights were on. Inside, she found Teddy coming down the stairs.

"Ms. Chloe," Teddy greeted her with respect.

Chloe nodded back politely. "Teddy, are you here to pick up Mr. Connor's stuff?"

Teddy's face flushed with embarrassment. "No, he got drunk tonight and insisted on coming here, so..."

Chloe's lovely brows knitted together.

Sensing her displeasure, Teddy quickly tried to gain her sympathy. "He has been in a terrible mood lately. He has not been eating and just throwing himself into work. He's pushed himself so hard that his stomach's acting up. He had to get an IV this afternoon, and he couldn't avoid tonight's dinner meeting. Now, he's drunk again. He's definitely going to be in pain tomorrow."

But Chloe wasn't buying it. "With his status, what kind of dinner meeting can't he skip? Who in their right mind would over-serve him drinks?"

Teddy's embarrassment deepened. Normally calm and collected, he awkwardly scratched his head. "True, but the boss has been really down lately, so he drank a bit more."

Fearing he'd spill more if he stayed, Teddy hurriedly excused himself. "Ms. Chloe, I'd better get going. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to look after the boss tonight."

Chloe's tone was cool, "I'll be leaving soon, too. I'm just packing. I haven't been staying here lately."

Without looking at Teddy, Chloe

started up the stairs. "Since you're here, take all his stuff with you. It's in the storage room. And let him know I'll be changing the locks and keys in a few days. He better not show up drunk again because he won't be able to get in."

Watching her walk away, Teddy thought about how ruthless a woman could be when she made up her mind.

He hadn't lied about one thing. Lately, Connor had been like a different person, working nonstop and neglecting his health. Teddy knew why. Connor missed Ms.

Chloe terribly and was

if he

had any downtime, he'd end up seeking her out.

Today, after Claire got the news they'd released, she was already on a flight to Italy. All night, a drunk. Connor kept calling out for Chloe. That was when Teddy decided to bring Connor here.

Sighing, Teddy resigned himself to moving boxes from the storage room. After he was done, he drove away.

Chloe went up to the third floor and started packing her luggage. Halfway through, she noticed a shadow at the doorway. It was Connor.
