Chapter 174 Have You Fallen in Love with Me?

Usually, when Grant acted like this, it meant he was really pissed off.

When he got angry, the consequences were severe. While he remained silent, Chloe knew she had to quickly think of a way to calm him down. This wasn't going to be easy.

Playfully acting coy? The habitual method quickly came to her mind, but she immediately dismissed it. Grant was furious right now; acting coy might not only be ineffective but could also backfire. He was too smart; he would see through her little tricks in an instant, and it would only make him angrier.

Maybe she could do what she did last time-act indifferent and use reverse psychology to make him send her back to the Northwest?

This method had already been used once before. If she tried it again, Grant would likely be immune to such tactics by now.

With this realization, Chloe's mood grew even heavier. She knew that Grant wasn't someone who could be easily placated; his anger was not easy to quell. She had to find a way to not only express her sincerity but also reach and touch his heart.

If all else failed, should she try to seduce him?

But just thinking about how he'd pin her against the wall and kiss her fiercely made Chloe reconsider.

His kiss was overwhelming, so intense that Chloe felt she could hardly bear it. If she used this tactic tonight, would he end up forcibly take possession of her?

The drive from the art exhibit to the hotel was usually long, but for some reason, it felt especially short today. Before Chloe could come up with a plan to deal with Grant, the car had already stopped.

Grant, still fuming, grabbed Chloe's hand and led her out of the car.

Chloe followed him reluctantly, desperately searching for a way to defuse the situation. Soon, they were in the presidential suite. As soon as they entered, Chloe darted into one of the bedrooms and locked the door behind her, afraid Grant would catch her.

It wasn't long before she heard Grant knocking on the door.

"Chloe, open the door."

"Do you think hiding in there solves anything?"
