After Divorcing my Captain Husband

"Ms. Nelson, I apologize for the inconvenience and discomfort you've experienced. Please go with my assistant to change into some fresh clothes. We can discuss the collaboration further when you return." Ariana's anxiety spiked upon hearing this. "Mr. Portman, but you just promised me this project." Jeremy gave her a cursory glance. "That was because Ms. Nelson wasn't present. I assumed you were the only option."

Chloe understood the implications of Jeremy inviting two people.

She didn't use the name Jioleek; she was just a security expert introduced by James. It was natural for Jeremy to be hesitant about her skills and want to choose between the two. Everyone was in business; comparisons were inevitable.

Jeremy's words were merely an attempt to appease Chloe, as Ariana was the one who initiated the incident.

"Mr. Portman, you know my capabilities. If you entrust this project to me, I guarantee you won't be disappointed."

Chloe tuned out the rest of the conversation and followed the assistant to change.

She felt much better after shedding the damp clothes. When she returned to the conference room, both individuals had regained their composure.

Ariana's presence indicated the matter wasn't resolved.

Jeremy looked at Chloe with a smile. "Ms. Nelson, this project is crucial to our company's future interests. I hope you understand my need for careful consideration in this matter." Chloe nodded. "Of course, I understand."
