BXBX NOVEL 93 Chapter 93
"Geez, I must also add a speaker mounted on the wall and a better air conditioner inside that room. He really went all the way," Diamond commented, which seemed to have turned into venting. "Can you imagine that he also demands me to replace the velvet bedsheet with a customized one to make it softer, replacing the light, all the toys, and every little thing— even the frikin toilet paper! How am I supposed to keep up with his stupid demands?!"
Chloe watched as Diamond\'s expression turned from relaxed, distraught, annoyed, and ended up looking frustrated. She sympathized with Diamond, but at the same time, Chloe also wondered about something.
"Diamond, about the stuff you just mentioned. Did he replace everything whenever she got a new woman inside that Velvet room?" Chloe asked.
Because Chloe thought it would be pretty weird of him to suddenly treat her specially, he even went as far as replacing the stuff inside that room.
\'It just feels so out of character for him,\' Chloe thought. \'After all, he saw me as nothing but a maid, and to relieve his sex drive, that\'s it.\'
Diamond\'s eyes widened as her body stiffened. She just realized that she spoke way too much because Mr. Phoenix Gray told her not to say anything about the Velvet room because he didn\'t want Chloe to have a wrong idea— whatever that idea was.
\'Oh shit, backtrack— Diamond, backtrack!\' Diamond panicked as she tried her best to form a lie in front of her girl.
"O—Of course! Do you know the amount of stuff I have to throw away because he keeps changing partners? I also have to check the background of each woman he hooked up with. It\'s so exhausting!" Diamond replied, telling half truth, half lie to make it more believable for Chloe.
She felt a little sorry to lie to her, but at the same time, Mr. Phoenix Gray seemed to be so adamant about not telling Chloe that he ordered Diamond to replace everything inside the Velvet room, something that she thought to be something that shouldn\'t matter much for an uncaring man like him.
"Ah, I see. Well, that\'s relieving…." Chloe was relieved once she got the answer she wanted from Diamond. Because she didn\'t want to be treated special, at least not by Vernon, the young man that she would leave after she got enough money to leave the state with Mackie, starting a new life somewhere.
She was already tired of men. At least she had no more love to spare after Vincent drained and wasted them all.
Diamond also observed Chloe\'s expression, which was eased after she backtracked, making her wonder what was inside her mind.
But she couldn\'t ask her because the door suddenly slammed open;
BAM!
Chloe and Diamond jolted at the same time and looked towards the door. Vernon closed the door and stood straight, glaring at them as if he would chew and spit their bones.
Vernon\'s eyes darted at Diamond first, "Go and clean up my office. There\'s a bit of a mess there."
"Yes, Sir," Diamond got up and bowed her head lightly.
Chloe gulped. She wanted to tell Diamond it wasn\'t just a \'bit of a mess\' inside Vernon\'s office. Since Diamond wasn\'t here when Vernon unleashed his rage, she didn\'t know the amount of cleanup she had to do once she went in.
Vernon darted his eyes at Chloe and said, "Bring the lunch box and two small cartons of banana milk. Follow me to my other office on floor 26."
"Yes, Sir," Chloe got up and grabbed the lunch box and banana milk from the fridge, then she followed Vernon to the elevator. Chloe and Diamond stared full of sympathy at each other until the elevator door closed, leaving Diamond alone in the office.
"Now, what kind of mess did that guy make?"
She always knew that Vernon Phoenix Gray was an emotional person. Sometimes when he got a problem in the office, he would break a thing or two inside his office.
It was troublesome because, besides being a picky eater, Vernon also had a picky taste in art and decoration in his office. He would nitpick about many furniture and artworks that Diamond bought for his office. Hence, she had already calculated many possibilities in her head.
"Well, I can call a few of those art vendors. I think Mr. Phoenix Gray has been into cubism these days," Diamond said. She walked to the door and pushed it open, expecting one or two broken stuff.
But when she checked the office, her jaw dropped instantly. Her eyes scanned the whole office and realized that Vernon Phoenix Gray left NOTHING for her to recover.
He broke everything; paintings, small statues, flower pots, and many small, expensive decorations.
And if he couldn\'t break it, he flipped it over, like overturned coffee table, desk, long sofa, executive chair, even the poor 70" TV mounted on the wall she bought a week ago had been destroyed.
Diamond\'s knees trembled as blood had been drained out of her body. She tried to grab whatever she could find to prop herself up but realized there was nothing she could use as everything had been flipped over.
Diamond stumbled on her high heels and fell to the ground in not so graceful manner. She looked around for the second time and lamented her fate. She started calculating everything, but not for the money since all purchases would come straight from Vernon\'s pocket. But the amount of overtime, negotiation, calls, et cetera for all the furniture and artworks she had to purchase to cater to Vernon\'s taste would drain her life for weeks.
Diamond imagined that jerk\'s face since he must\'ve enjoyed the service from Chloe and now eating good lunch from a good woman like Chloe. For some reason, Diamond felt that her life was so unfair.
She gritted her teeth and cursed out loud;
"THAT PIECE OF DEVIL\'S TURD WILL PAY FOR WASTING MY LIFE!"
