Chapter 417: Don’t Even Think About It, Chloe Sinclair Is My Wife
"All right, I’m going to take a shower."
Chloe Sinclair decided to stop teasing Jasper Shaw, grabbed a change of clothes, and went into the bathroom.
Before Jasper Shaw could react, the bathroom door clicked shut.
Rubbing his nose, Jasper Shaw felt uncharacteristically awkward.
Half an hour later, Chloe Sinclair realized she had forgotten her clothes. But at that moment, Jasper Shaw was in the middle of a remote meeting.
So, she poked her head out of the bathroom, unsure how to get his attention.
Just then, Jasper Shaw glanced toward the head peeking out of the bathroom. He paused mid-sentence, turned to her, and asked, "What’s wrong?"
Chloe Sinclair hesitated for a moment, then mouthed the word "clothes."
Fortunately, Jasper Shaw knew Chloe Sinclair well enough. He stood up from the sofa and immediately spotted the shirt she had dropped beside it.
He said to the others on the call, "I’ll be back in a minute."
With that, he stepped around the coffee table and picked up the clothes.
"You little scatterbrain."
Chloe Sinclair’s face flushed beet red. She snatched the clothes and slammed the bathroom door shut with another CLICK.
Seeing this, Jasper Shaw’s lips curved into a smug smile.
Returning to the sofa, he looked at the group on the video call, who were all deathly silent, and said, "Sorry about that. My fiancée needed me to grab something for her. Let’s continue the meeting."
The employees: "..." ’We didn’t ask you!’
However, the ways of an older man were simply beyond their comprehension.
But surprisingly, in the Shaw Group’s company chat, people were already frantically discussing the incident.
[Holy shit, our team lead was just in that video conference, and you’ll NEVER guess what they saw!]
[What?]
[The boss worked overtime all night yesterday, then left first thing this morning—not for a business trip, but to be with his fiancée.]
[And the most, most, MOST important thing is, the Chairman and Chloe Sinclair are already living together!]
[Holy shit, that was fast!]
[I thought everyone else in the company would get into a relationship before the boss did, but I can’t believe he’s actually off the market!]
[I want a wife like Chloe Sinclair too. She’s beautiful and talented... SOB SOB SOB. The perfect woman.]
[Lawson, stop dreaming. The perfect woman already belongs to the Chairman.]
[You guys who weren’t in the meeting have no idea. The boss basically force-fed us a massive dose of PDA! The Chairman paused the meeting to give Chloe Sinclair her clothes, and when he came back, he oh-so-casually explained and bragged about it! The key thing is, we didn’t even ask!]
[Haha, is that really our boss?]
[Sigh, I’m about to cry my eyes out over here. I used to think of Chloe as my dream wife, but then she made things official yesterday, SOB SOB... The boss stole my wife!]
Many of the men in the chat group wailed in misery.
Suddenly, one of the men who had just been wailing noticed someone in the group chat without a set nickname, so he tagged them.
[@X, who are you? Company policy is to set your nickname to your department and name. If you don’t change it, I’m kicking you out.]
X remained silent for a full two minutes, and the admin who had tagged him was just about to kick him out.
But just then, X suddenly responded.
[I’m your boss.]
After typing that, X changed his nickname to Jasper Shaw.
Then, he tagged, one by one, all the employees who had been fantasizing about his wife.
Jasper Shaw: [So, I hear you’ve been fantasizing about my wife?]
Everyone: ’We haven’t! Don’t accuse us!’
In reality, the chat went dead silent. No one dared to type a word.
Just then, Jasper Shaw sent another message.
[Don’t even think about it. Chloe Sinclair is my wife.]
