Rural Belle & Three Heirs

Grant was in the middle of a meeting at the office when Chloe asked to see him. But he didn't turn her down.

"I'm in a meeting right now," he told Chloe. "You can come over and wait for me. Then I'll take you to meet someone."noveldrama

"Sure," Chloe agreed. After reminding Philip not to do anything stupid, she grabbed a cab to the Martin Group's office building.

To get to the Martin Group's office, Chloe had to go through their parking lot. Not wanting to draw attention, she asked the cab driver to drop her off at the entrance of the lot. She paid the fare and got out.

Sophia was currently in charge of watching over the cars. When she saw Chloe approaching, all her pent-up resentment toward Chloe surged to the surface. As Chloe walked past her, Sophia reached out and blocked her path. "Well, if it isn't Miss Davis," she sneered.

Sophia said with a sarcastic tone. Chloe was immediately annoyed at the sight of her.

Chloe had no interest in engaging with her. She simply pushed past Sophia and continued on her way towards the office building.

However, Sophia followed her, ranting non-stop. "Chloe, do you really think that just because the Martin and Davis families have an engagement agreement, you'll marry Mr. Martin and become the lady of the Martin family?"

She sneered. "Let me tell you, it's not going to happen. Mr. Martin doesn't love you. The most pitiful woman is one who isn't loved by a man. So, Chloe, if you have any self-awareness, you'd better stay away from Mr. Martin and stop clinging to him." Sophia's provocation was something Chloe originally didn't want to bother with-she was nothing more than a grasshopper, jumping around meaninglessly. But Chloe couldn't stand seeing that irksome face any longer.

"Even if Grant doesn't love me, it's not like he loves you either," Chloe retorted. "Sophia, you've been relegated to parking lot duty, yet you still can't behave. If Grant finds out you're still causing trouble for me, do you think he'll keep you at the Martin Group?

It's true what they say: the longer you live, the more strange things you see. Most people's careers progress upward, but yours seems to be going the other way. Sophia, let me give you a piece of advice. Instead of wasting so much time trying to make trouble for me, why don't you focus on improving your own skills? Maybe, just maybe, you'll be able to land a better job."""

Chloe's comeback left Sophia fuming. She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms.

Chloe loved seeing Sophia's frustrated expression. It was satisfying to get under her skin.

"Alright, I'm done talking to you. Grant is waiting for me in his office," Chloe said with a smile, then walked away with her small bag.

Sophia was furious. She clenched her fists, her long nails nearly piercing her skin. She couldn't understand why she, a strong woman, always lost to Chloe.

Watching Chloe's smug demeanor, Sophia couldn't help but shout after her, "Chloe, don't get too comfortable. Isidora's coming back soon."

Chloe, focused on finding Grant, ignored Sophia's shouts. She didn't care about Isidora; it had nothing to do with her.

Little did she know, the Isidora she didn't care about would soon bring her a lot of trouble.

When Chloe arrived at Grant's office, the meeting had just ended, and the employees were leaving. They whispered among themselves when they saw Chloe.

"Does Miss Davis not know that Mr. Martin announced his fiancee in a video conference last night?"

"She probably doesn't. If she did, would she still come to see Mr. Martin?"

"Remember, Miss Davis is engaged to the Martin family, not just Mr. Martin. Maybe he sees her as a little sister."

"Right, her looks don't match Mr. Martin's taste. Even under pressure, he wouldn't marry her."

"Poor girl, she has no idea."

Chloe heard their whispers but didn't respond. She knew she looked unattractive with the fake mole on her face.

When she entered Grant's office, he was putting on his coat. His tired eyes lit up when he saw her.

"How'd you get here?" he asked.

"I took a cab," Chloe replied honestly.

Grant said, "It's quite a hassle always taking a taxi. There are cars in the garage at home; go and pick one. If none of those suit your taste, just tell me the brand you want and I'll have Stanley buy it for you."

Chloe shook her head. "Driving is too much trouble, and parking is a hassle. I find cabs more convenient. Besides, I'm still a student. I don't want people at Quest University to know my real identity."

Chloe's reasoning made perfect sense. She kept a low profile at Quest University and didn't want her classmates to know her true identity.

"Alright, whatever you prefer. So, did you come here because you missed me?" Grant asked, his eyes sparkling.

Chloe blushed and looked down. "No, I..."

"Don't say anything yet. I've missed you. Let me kiss you first," Grant said without another word, his hands gripping Chloe's small waist as he effortlessly lifted her onto his desk.

Chloe, being petite and light, found herself at just the right height sitting on the desk to be eye-level with Grant.

Her lips were mere inches away from Grant's, and she could clearly feel his slightly rapid breathing. "Grantie, stop it. Put me down. I want to talk to you about Michael..." Before Chloe could finish her sentence, Grant cupped her head and kissed her forcefully.

Being in Grant's office, Chloe didn't dare to struggle too much. She could only let Grant hold her tightly by the waist, as his kiss made her feel dizzy and overwhelmed.

Grant was a skilled kisser, and soon Chloe's legs felt weak. She couldn't understand why her body reacted so strongly to him. It was as if her body wanted more.

They were so engrossed in their kiss that they didn't notice someone opening the door...
