After Divorcing my Captain Husband

Chapter 625 Swordplay

Ariana had assumed that Chloe would never agree to work alongside her, given Chloe's personality.

She was even relieved, thinking that handling the project on her own wouldn't be too bad.

But to her surprise, Chloe showed up anyway.

Chloe took her time setting up her things, picked a desk that was away from others, and, after checking her computer thoroughly, finally plugged in her USB drive. "Ms. Nelson, I didn't expect you to show up!" Ariana said, leaning against Chloe's desk with a playful grin.

Chloe smiled, "It's work, why wouldn't I come?"

She wasn't the one who had been left out. As James had pointed out, she was better than Ariana. The project was a piece of cake for her, and she wasn't about to pass up this opportunity. Seeing Chloe's calm demeanor, Ariana felt a lump in her throat. She turned away, saying, "Well, since you're here, let's get started. We shouldn't waste any more time." Ariana had hoped to dominate the situation, given her status as a top hacker.

But she was caught off guard by Chloe's speed and efficiency.

Chloe's response times and problem-solving abilities far outstripped her own. Every time Ariana wanted to delegate a task, Chloe had already finished it and tossed a new challenge her way. Ariana went from being in control to being constantly on the back foot. The entire morning was a flurry of activity, yet she had no clear idea of what she was actually working on. At lunchtime, Chloe decided to grab a bite outside.

As she left, Ariana seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, surprised by Chloe's relentless work ethic.
