Chloe's eyes widened as she heard the explanation from Diamond. She didn't know that Vernon would facilitate his employee with such luxury.
"Diamond, did you get the same facility?"
"No," Diamond shook her head. "I don't get that kind of luxury as an office facility. But I do get paid a lot, much more than the salary from other companies."
"I see…." Chloe looked at the stuff on the table. She wasn't sure whether she was worthy of such a facility. But if she refused this…
"Do you think Vernon will be mad if I refuse the facility?" Chloe asked.
"And why do you have to refuse the facility?" Diamond asked back. "Many women would kill for this luxury, you know?"
"I know, but…."
"But?"
"I feel that everything won't be so simple after accepting the facility…." Chloe said. "I'm afraid he will want something more if I take the luxury he offered."
"Don't worry about that, really," Diamond sighed. "I may not get the same luxury, but he gave the same thing to the previous women he dated. It's just part of the deal."
"Ah, okay then," Chloe let out a relieved breath. "If his other women got the same luxury, I can feel at ease."
"I don't understand you, Chloe," Diamond said. "You don't want to be treated special?"
"No," Chloe replied curtly. She had a bitter smile on her lips. "My experience with my ex-husband told me… that a man would only treat you well when they feel like it, and they will ditch you after that. It'd be better if he treats me like a regular employee if he'll probably ditch me in a month at best."
…
Obviously, what Diamond said was another lie. All of Mr. Phoenix Gray's ex-girlfriends only got pocket money compared to what Chloe got. But after seeing her reaction, it seemed that treating Chloe as a special woman wasn't the correct thing to do.
She had to report this to Mr. Phoenix Gray to ensure he didn't make a wrong step.
'I need to ask for a raise from him. I've saved his ass plenty of times in front of Chloe,' Diamond thought.
After Chloe left the office, Diamond waited for Mr. Phoenix Gray to return to the CEO's office and reported.
"How's her reaction?" Vernon asked while he entered the office.
Diamond tailed him from behind and answered, "Mrs. Gray is shocked by the facility you provided, Sir."
"A good kind of shocked?"
"No, Sir."
Vernon halted his step immediately, "And why so? Is it not enough for her?"
Vernon knew that Vincent was currently more powerful and richer than him. So he expected that what he offered might not be enough for Chloe.
"No, Sir. She is overwhelmed. She doesn't want to be treated special," Diamond reported.
Vernon's brows creased as he didn't understand what was on Chloe's mind. He turned around and lowered his head to look straight at Diamond, "She doesn't want to be treated special? What kind of idiot is she?"
"I'm not sure either, Sir. But she said it's an experience from her ex-husband. She wants to be treated just like another employee," Diamond reported.
…
"Heh, what an idiot," Vernon scoffed. He turned around and walked to his chair. He looked at Diamond, who stood in front of him, "Is this a new kind of fetish? Or is it humiliation? Masochism?"
Diamond almost rolled her eyes in front of Mr. Phoenix Gray, but she shook her head, "I'm not sure, Sir. But didn't you say that you just want to try her for a few weeks?"
"Yes, that's my plan," Vernon said ruthlessly. "But I guess I need to be slower because I didn't know that she hadn't been touched by my brother for more than eight years. Probably a month at best."
"Then, you don't need to think too much about her needs, isn't that right, Sir?"
"True, but I want to make sure that she got her best experience with me," Vernon said. He had a smile on his face, but that smile turned devious at some point, "I bet it'll be interesting to see my family's reaction. She can be a fun toy to pass my boredom."
…
p
He was hot-and-cold towards her.
Sometimes Mr. Phoenix Gray acted as if he had at least a little interest in Chloe.
But other times… he acted as if Chloe was just a toy for him to pass his boredom, not so different from the rest of his previous flings.
'Whatever that is, I just hope he doesn't hurt her much. I kinda pity her a little,' Diamond said in her heart.
