After Divorcing my Captain Husband

Chapter 623 You're a Mother Now

She thought to herself, "I could probably partner with just about anyone and it'd go more smoothly than working with Ariana." "I'm sorry, but I don't think this arrangement fits my situation very well," Chloe said, trying to turn down the offer.

Even though she knew this job was a referral from James and could potentially boost her own reputation without relying on Jioleek's name, the thought of working with someone she disliked was a daunting challenge. She wasn't desperate for the project. It was better to follow her instincts and avoid unnecessary friction, which would make her work more efficient.

The assistant on the other end of the line said, "Ms. Nelson, there's no rush to give us an answer right away. We can give you a day to consider. If you still feel it's not a good fit, it's okay to decline." Chloe hesitated for a moment. "Alright, I'll let you know by tomorrow."

After hanging up, she noticed Michael had been watching her intently.

"Having trouble with the collaboration?" Michael asked, his experience making him quick to pick up on Chloe's mood, even though he hadn't overheard the details. Chloe ruffled her hair in frustration. "Yeah, they want me to work with Ariana."

Michael's dissatisfaction with Ariana was already known, especially after the incident where Chloe was trapped in the villa room thanks to Ariana's scheming. Hearing this now only fueled his irritation.

"A person that relies on such petty tactics, what are they thinking to choose her?"

Chloe sighed, "Ariana's proposals are actually quite impressive. She's just too slick with her office politics."
