Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 611 Using Brain

It was close to lunchtime when Raelle's meeting ended and she made a beeline towards the elevator. Cloe rushed after her, after hesitating a bit, she still chose to enter the elevator before the door closed. Raelle didn't say anything about her behavior.

But as they reached the underground parking lot, Cloe was still following Raelle like a tail. This... Raelle stopped and turned to look at her, "Is there something you want to say?"

Cloe nodded her head.

"Then go ahead," said Raelle. "Don't be so wishy-washy."

"Can I come with you?" asked Cloe.

Raelle looked carefully at Cloe's face when she heard her request. She didn't ask for Cloe's reasons and just got in the car saying, "If you want to, just come. Why are you wasting time here?"

Cloe let out a breath and rushed over to take a seat in the car. As the car drove out, Cloe pulled out the iPad and continued to go through the emails but couldn't help telling Raelle, "Chief, you've been getting way too many unnecessary emails since the time you appeared in news."

"Oh..." was Raelle's bland response.

Cloe could only sigh at that reaction. But then again, what was she expecting exactly? It's not it was Raelle who had filtered through all these emails daily. It was her! Cloe! She had to spend hours going through these emails. And she'd only forward the useful ones to Raelle. Usually, it wasn't as big of a problem but since Raelle appeared on news with Shui Xian, Cloe was mentally tired.

There were so many opportunistic capitalists trying to squeeze their way in. But was it even possible? Who was Raelle Xiang? Did she ever lack business partners? But this matter was still very annoying to Cloe.

While looking out the window, Raelle suddenly spoke, "Cloe..."

"Yes, Chief?"

"Are you planning on getting married?" asked Raelle which surprised Cloe. No, it should be mentioned that even the chauffeur was a bit taken aback. If it wasn't for his professionalism, he'd have really lost focus. After all, when did Raelle Xiang take interest in such matters? Especially when it didn't involve her?

Cloe was silent for a moment before saying, "I'm not sure."

"So, you're a scumbag," commented Raelle.

Cloe almost committed blood especially when she noticed the suppressed smile on the chauffeur's face. She really didn't know what to do with this boss of hers.

"How am I a scumbag?" she asked.

"Oh, you slept with a guy and are not willing to take responsibility for him," said Raelle straightforwardly. "Doesn't that make you a scumbag?"

Cloe's lips twitched and she said, "Chief, who said I'm not taking responsibility? I'm dating him. Officially and seriously!"

"This serious dating of yours doesn't seem to have the goal of marriage," mentioned Raelle that making Cloe pause.

She bit her bottom lip and contemplated. She hesitated before answering, "I do like Xukun. He is a very good partner. But... I haven't thought about getting married. Not just with him. It just hadn't been on my mind for so long that I took it for granted that I won't get married."

"That was before you had a boyfriend," said Raelle. "What about now?"

"If it's Xukun, I think I don't mind," she said with a small smile on her face. Cloe thought of something, turned to look at the backseat, and asked, "But Chief, how do you know that I slept with him?"

"You posted a picture of his niece and nephew yesterday," said Raelle matter-of-factly.

"So?" Cloe asked when Raelle didn't elaborate. She was baffled. Was that one sentence supposed to explain everything? How? How did the picture of his niece and nephew connect with her sleeping with Xukun? She really couldn't understand.

"Since you went out with him to spend time with his niece and nephew that means you confirmed your relationship completely. And as much as I know, you aren't the kind of a person who would use words to confirm her relationship."

Cloe felt like her mind was buzzing. She would have never thought her boss would come to all that conclusion with just one photo she posted on her moments. Why was her boss so scary?

"Are you going to see his sister?" asked Raelle.

"It's not like I can avoid her," said Cloe. "Even if I want to, I can't avoid it for long since she is Soren's wife. I only didn't get to meet her for these years because Soren and I were on different continents. Now, we are in the same place. It's inevitable that I'll meet his wife."

"I see..." was all Raelle said in response.

Cloe put the iPad down and asked, "Chief, do you think I should take him to see my parents?"

"Do you want to?" asked Raelle.

"I don't," was Cloe's answer. "I'm afraid they might ruin everything."

"But you can't possibly hide this from them either," said Raelle. "However, telling them is one thing but looking for their approval is another. There is a thing called filial piety in this country which is taken very seriously. But you grew up in a different environment and different values. You're an adult and very much capable of making your own decisions."

Cloe also agreed with this and nodded, "Right. I'll first stabilize my relationship with Kun and if we really reach the stage of marriage, I'll just invite my parents to my wedding." Then something struck her and she couldn't help asking, "Chief, you also grew up in an open environment. Then why are you so filial? Why do always give in to your grandfather?"

"I have my own reasons," was Raelle's answer. "You won't understand it even if I tell you."

Cloe hummed in agreement. "True. I mostly don't understand you."

"So, ask fewer questions," suggested Raelle.

"That I can't help it, Chief," said Cloe. "Even if I want to, I can't help it when I'm around you. You are an insightful person. I feel like asking you is better than spending hours mulling over it. Saves me the trouble of using my brain."

"Right, you don't even have a brain."

Cloe rolled her eyes and shook her head when she heard that comment. She won't argue with that. It was pointless.
