Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother
222 Chapter 222
Vernon finished the meeting near dusk and returned to his office on the top floor, followed by Diamond, who was busy scolding her boss in her head.
In her head, Diamond was calling this man an idiot-- or even worse, dumber than a donkey.
Because he didn't seem to realize that he was ruining his chance with Chloe, and Diamond wanted to smack his head to make him think!
Vernon walked out of the elevator and asked Diamond, who was still tailing him, "Have you made the reservation for tomorrow?"
"Yes, Sir," Diamond confirmed.
"Good, I really need to meet her."
"Sir, may I know what kind of woman you're going to meet tomorrow?" Diamond asked as she couldn't contain her curiosity. "Don't tell me that you talked with a random woman on your phone and decided to have a one night hook up with her."
Vernon stopped on his track and looked over her shoulder. He looked at Diamond with disgust and asked, "What kind of stupid shit you have in your mind, Diamond? I said I'm just meeting my female acquaintances from years ago!"
"Sir, you call every woman you met as your female acquitance and proceed to fuck them for a night before ditching them the next morning," Diamond stated ruthlessly. She had no tolerance for him when it involved her homegirl Chloe.
"Ugh, it's literally just a female acquaintance this time! I fucking swear!" Vernon yelled as he got a little annoyed by Diamond.
"Then what do you mean that your female 'acquaintance' will teach you how to understand a woman better? Sir, you're basically hinting that you're going to have sex with this woman!"
"WHAT?!"
Vernon's eyes widened instantly. He finally turned around and gave Diamond a confused look, "The fuck is in your mind?! Do you think I will fuck anyone outside when I have my woma-- I mean, when I'm very busy with work, huh?"
"This female acquaintance of mine is a psychologist. She studied in the same university as mine, and she specialized in trauma and marital problems. '' Vernon was thinking about holding back the information as he found it unnecessary.
But Diamond's accusation actually triggered him, forcing him to spill out his plan, "I want to meet him because-- well-- Chloe--"
Diamond gasped when she got the answer that put ease in her heart. She covered her mouth with her palm and gawked at her boss.
"Sir, you-- did Chloe already tell you about the whole thing?"
Vernon's eyes darkened, and he shook his head. He got pissed whenever he was reminded that he still had a way to reach Chloe's heart.
"Not yet, she still hides everything from me," Vernon replied. "Even if I act so kind to her, she still distances herself from me, damn it!"
'Well, that's obvious. You don't even have a tact with a woman, especially for a sensitive one like my homegirl,' Diamond said in her heart.
"But I already know a thing or two just by looking at her action and reaction," Vernon stated. "I know that she suffers from bulimia, because she was so shocked when I pointed it out."
"And she retreated immediately?" Diamond guessed.
"Yes."
'Ok, he is definitely confronting and forcing her to speak. He can't fool me,' Diamond thought. But she said nothing because it would only lead to an argument, knowing how defensive Mr. Phoenix Gray could be.
"So... you're going to meet your psychologist friend for advice?"
"Yeah, after all, she knows about the kind of problem that Chloe faces right now," Vernon replied.
Diamond nodded. Though, if her boss listened to her advice, Diamond already gave him the solution he needed to make Chloe open up slowly.
But she had to give him credit for trying to understand Chloe in his own way.
She grinned and raised one brow, "Sir, you seem to care a lot for her."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"I mean, this is the first time you ever worked your way to get close to a woman. Usually you would smash and dash, hump and dump, ejaculate and evacuate," Diamond's grin got wider, and she asked, "May I know your motivation behind this?"
"B--Because--"
"Because?"
Vernon turned around instantly, and he took a long step to his office door, "Y--You're so fucking pesky! Stop thinking about useless stuff and do your job!"
SLAM!
Vernon walked in and slammed the door behind him, leaving Diamond giggling because she knew what was in her boss' mind, even if he didn't confirm it.
Of course, she wanted Chloe and Vernon to get close as soon as possible. But they needed time, especially her homegirl-- Chloe. She needed so much therapy before she could finally accept Vernon.
Thus, she decided to text something to Chloe instead.
**
Chloe had just finished cooking a separate dinner for Vernon when she heard a notification on her phone. She took off her apron and checked the notification.
"Hm? Diamond?"
She clicked on the new message and read it;
--
From: Diamond.
Gurl, don't you think I will be a perfect bridesmaid? I should probably start searching for a new dress for the special occasion.
Should I go for a pink or turquoise one? Do you have any color codes?
Oh, should I go for a long or short dress? Probably the shorter one, right? I need to be agile and nimble when catching that damn flower bouquet!
Gurl, I am exciteeeeeddd!
--
Chloe frowned after she read the random text from Diamond. It was so random. There was only one explanation that popped into Chloe's head;
"Did she become a bridesmaid for one of her friends?" Chloe asked herself. Obviously, it wasn't her because Chloe didn't have any plan to remarry.
"I guess she is asking for my opinion...." Chloe thought. She had a few friends before she married Vincent, and they became Chloe's bridesmaids.
She tried to remember the bridesmaids' dress code back then and finally replied with a text;
--
To: Diamond
I think you should go for a bright-- but soft color, like baby pink or lilac. You're tall and have a great body. You should be awesome in any dress, really.
