Chapter 228 There's Wuite a Stench Here

When Chloe said she wouldn't ride in his car, Grant was confused.

"Why not?" he asked.

Chloe looked at him with disgust. "Because your car reeks of that two-faced woman. There's quite a stench here; I find it dirty."

Her meaning was clear-she was accusing Isidora of being two-faced. Isidora, standing nearby, was furious but couldn't retaliate.

"Chloe... Isidora and I are just colleagues. She's my secretary..."

Grant never explained himself to women. Isidora, having known Grant since college, understood his personality well.

But Grant was explaining himself to Chloe, and Isidora could sense his desperation to prove his innocence to her.

Isidora had a bad feeling about this.

Chloe snorted at Grant's explanation. She mocked him, "Just colleagues? Your secretary is close enough to wipe your sweat? Mr. Martin, your secretary sure wears many hats."

Grant was taken aback by Chloe's words.

Chloe sneered and turned to Michael. "Mic, can you give me a ride home?"

Michael was about to agree, but when he saw the murderous look Grant shot him, he hesitated.
