Chloe let out a relieved breath once Vernon left the penthouse carrying the tumbler. It was a sign that he wasn't all that mad to her.
Maybe he was in a bad mood because of work, so he had that naturally bitter face the whole time.
"See? I'm just overthinking," Chloe said as she tried to convince herself. "He hasn't noticed a thing, and that's good. I don't want him to notice Dorothea's presence way too early. I still have to plan out the best way to introduce Dorothea to our small family."
Chloe grabbed her phone on the kitchen counter and texted Dorothea, asking if she was available, and Dorothea replied quickly;
-
Dorothea:
Please come at seven, the door will be slightly open like yesterday.
I also want to tell you about the progress of my plan to disturb Vincent's charity work.
-
"Great!" Chloe cheered. She checked the time and realized that she only needed to wait fifteen minutes before going to the eleventh floor.
