"Why aren't you saying anything?" Vernon asked. "At least tell me if that bitch did something more than just a blowjob."

"Are you deaf? I'm talking to you!" Vernon lifted his head and looked at Chloe.

But he found out that Chloe was looking away. Her face and ears were flushing red as if she had seen something embarrassing.

Vernon frowned, "What? What's wrong?"

"T—That… your…"

"Were you shocked about the whole thing? I will explain it to you."

"N—No, your… your…"

"Look me straight in the eyes and tell me what's wrong. I'm your boss!" Vernon said sternly.

But Chloe's face got even redder, and she pointed at Vernon's hips, "Y—You're not wearing pants."

"AH, FUCCKK!" Vernon slipped inside his room and slammed the door. He forgot that he was butt naked from the waist down.

The bowl of chicken noodle soup in Chloe's hand trembled. She hastily put the bowl on the table before it fell. Seeing Vernon's erect dick in the morning was truly a mental shock.

It was long and had a thick girth, definitely a lot bigger than Vincent's. It was also majestic with bulbous tip—

Chloe shook her head to ward off the thought, 'Why did you become so lecherous, Chloe? Is staying around Vernon for a few days enough to turn you into a pervert?'

Vernon was so embarrassed he wanted to die. He thought he could play it cool in front of Chloe, despite feeling guilty.

But the supposedly heavy mood turned into an embarrassing mess.

Vernon wore sweatpants and went out. He acted as if nothing had happened and went to the dining table to eat the chicken noodle soup.

"This is for me?"

"Um…" Chloe nodded weakly, but the redness in her cheeks couldn't hide her embarrassment, "I heard a commotion from your room, so I prepared a chicken noodle soup to cure your hangover. I put a little spice there. It's good if you have a bad hangover. I hope you can tolerate a bit of spice…."

Chloe put a glass of water on the table, "And please drink first before eating…."

Vernon drank the glass of water in one gulp before eating the soup. The aroma of the homemade soup was pleasant, and the warmth spread inside his body once he tasted it.

Vernon started eating in silence while Chloe watched beside him. After he was done, he drank the broth until nothing was left. He burped without care and glanced at Chloe again.

"Elise Summer works for me in the industry. My company works in both investment and entertainment, and Elise happens to be the rising talent for now. Don't think too much about it."

'I'm not thinking anything about it,' Chloe said in her heart.

"Did you see me coming with her last night?"

Chloe nodded.

"Did you see what she did to me?"

"I heard…."

"Then why the hell did you not do anything!?"

"I… I thought she was your girlfriend…." Chloe replied. She took a step back instinctively. "Y—you have a lot of flings. After all, I'm afraid she is actually your real girlfriend…."

"Tch, I have no intention to date any woman, for now, remember that," Vernon said. "I'm too busy with work, and many projects are coming. I have no time to look after those women."

"Also, remember that nobody can enter floors 20 and 21 except us and the housekeepers."

"But I saw Gwen with her boyfriend sleeping on your bed yesterday, and I… uh… I saw black lingerie in the laundry basket."

"WHAT?!"

"Y—yeah, I already washed it. Maybe it's your girlfriend's—"

"NO! URGH!"

Vernon ruffled his head out of frustration. This was the first day, and there were already so many crazy shits.

"Look, my apartment is open for a select few. I rarely return to this penthouse because I'm always busy with work. So I let a few of my good friends use it and a few exes…." Vernon said. "But I'll ensure this place will be clean from intruders. And you shouldn't allow anyone enters this place, even if they're a fucking— prince or princess from Europe, and throw away that lingerie."

"Understood…"

The atmosphere between them was a little awkward right now. Vernon checked the clock on the wall, "Where's your daughter? My niece. It's the weekend. She should be here, right?"

"Mackie has a piano lesson and math tutoring today. She won't be here until late afternoon," Chloe said. She fiddled with her fingers, trying to find the right moment to utter what was on her mind.

Vernon caught her hesitation and asked, "What? Do you have something to say?"

"It's… about my daughter…."

"And what about her?"

"I—I love the apartment. It's spacious and well maintained. Mackie also likes it, but I don't think it's suitable for her to live here," Chloe said.

"Not suitable? Is it not big enough to your liking?"

"N—Not that, it's just… I'm afraid she will accidentally discover your indecent act with your flings or girlfriends. Since the stairs are connected here. It's not good for a kid like her…."

"A—Also, can I… um… request my salary be paid earlier? Mackie's school semester tuition needs to be paid soon. Vincent refused to pay it unless I went to marriage counseling with him. That's why I need my salary early, to pay for Mackie's tuition and move out to a smaller apartment," Chloe lowered her head, hoping that her reasoning was enough for Vernon.

Meanwhile, Vernon listened to everything, and there was a trace of annoyance in his eyes.

"I gave you my credit card, isn't that enough?"

"B—But that's for your necessity. I—I will use it to… um… buy groceries if you want me to, or if you want me to order anything else…."

"You can use that credit card to pay for her tuition, and no need to think about salary. It's a necessity. Call it a bonus from me."

"But… Mackie's tuition is very expensive. I'm afraid it will… um… it will burden you if you didn't subtract my salary to pay it."
