BXBX NOVEL Chapter 733 733
"Really? Hmm…" Diamond was thinking for a moment and then nodded, "Alright, I trust that the man you want to set me up with is not a bad one."
"Trust me, he is a good man," Chloe convinced.
Truthfully, Diamond was NOT convinced at all.
After all, Chloe was entangled with two terrible men, Vincent and Vernon.
Vincent was just pure evil, but Vernon was also equally evil.
Vernon was just very soft and loving towards Chloe and Mackie, but he was still the same demonic boss that everybody feared at work, and his method of getting what he wanted was also questionable at best.
So Diamond doubted that her best friend would find a good man for her, but still, Diamond didn't want to make her sad, so she just agreed and prepared herself to reject whoever man would come based on Chloe's recommendation.
Chloe and Diamond chatted a bit more before Diamond drove Chloe to the nearest drugstore to buy a pregnancy test pack.
"Alright, do you want me to drive you back to the Phoenix tower?" Diamond offered.
"Ah, no need, just drive me back to Vernon's office, I will have to pick up the kids first from the school before going home," Chloe refused.
"I can drive you to the school instead," Diamond offered. Honestly, she just wanted to spend more time with her best friend. Her warm aura gave Diamond the peace she wanted, so staying with Chloe gave her ease of mind.
Unfortunately, Chloe refused, "You still have things to do. I'll just go with Meyer."
"Meyer, huh…" Diamond tried to recall the face of Chloe's driver plus bodyguard. She knew that man was one of Vernon's bodyguards and hitmen before Vernon realized he needed to protect Chloe all the time.
So he dispatched Meyer, the most skilled, to be Chloe's daily driver and bodyguard.
"Hmm… I guess he can be trusted," Diamond said before she drove Chloe back to the office.
Diamond stopped the car at the lobby, and Chloe pointed at the man standing near the car that Chloe used daily, "That's Meyer, my driver and bodyguard," Chloe mentioned. She had an excited smile as if she wanted Diamond to respond.
Diamond stared at the man.
He was young, probably around Vernon's age. He was well built as his job demanded him to be physically strong all the time, and he was indeed quite handsome.
But the most attractive feature of him was his tan.
He was tanned, and Diamond liked well-built men, and if he wasn't black, he needed to be tanned at least, as she found them sexy.
"Hmm, he's not bad," Diamond commented.
"Right?! He's handsome!" Chloe said excitedly. "Ah, please don't report that to Vernon. I don't want him to get angry at me for calling another man handsome. You know, he can be very jealous."
Diamond chuckled, "I know, don't worry, Gurl."
Chloe giggled before she left Diamond's car and approached Meyer, who bowed politely at her.
"It is time to pick the kids at school, Ma'am," Meyer said as he opened the car door.
"I know," Chloe smiled. "Let's go, Meyer."
**
Chloe sat at the back while Meyer drove to Mackie and Aaron's school. She didn't need to worry about the rest of the boys because Dorothea and another driver would pick them up.
As usual, there was a stagnant silence in the car.
Chloe was a shy type. It would take her a long time to open up to someone, and even if she did, she sometimes still overthink about what she had to say.
Meanwhile, Meyer was being himself, driving the car, guarding Mrs. Phoenix Gray and her children, and ensuring his safety.
But now, Meyer was a little disturbed by the excited state that Mrs. Phoenix Gray showed right now as if she had an exciting idea that Meyer didn't know.
Meyer didn't believe that his female boss was interested in him romantically because it was obvious that she was in love with Mr. Phoenix Gray.
Besides, no matter how beautiful she was, Meyer would NEVER think about dating her. He was scared thinking about the wrath that would fall upon him if his boss knew about it.
He feared his boss more than he was interested in the beauty in the backseat.
'On top of that, I like a woman who is more active and fierce,' Meyer thought. He was a fan of hiking and mountaineering. He also loved a lot of wild adventures in new places, so he needed a woman who could match him.
A woman who was physically fit and able to go with him in many places he wanted to explore, and Mrs. Phoenix Gray was NOT that type of woman.
She was more of a traditional housewife based on their conversation after a while.
She loved gardening, cooking, decorating the house, and caring for her children. She was very feminine and wasn't Meyer's type at all.
He wanted to ignore Mrs. Phoenix Gray's obvious excitement but couldn't help it anymore as Chloe kept staring at him with interest. So he confronted her, "Ma'am, do you have anything to say to me?"
"Ah—uhh… n—not really," Chloe replied as she got embarrassed.
"You keep staring at me just now. It's fine, Ma'am. Just tell me if you have anything you want me to do," Meyer said. "After all, I'm supposed to be your driver and bodyguard."
"Um… alright then," Chloe was thinking about it for a moment before she asked, "Meyer, are you single right now?"
Meyer's heartbeat skipped for a second.
What he was scared of the most actually happened.
His female boss was interested in him!
'Fuck, fuck, FUCK!' Meyer cursed in his heart. He began to imagine what kind of hell his boss would give to him after getting the wrong idea that Meyer had 'seduced' his wife.
'Okay, I have to find a way to dodge the bullet or else my life would be miserable. Think, Meyer, THINK!'
