Meyer panicked because he thought that his end was near.
So he was thinking hard before he replied, "M—My type is a very fierce lady, Ma'am. I like a woman who's not into being a regular housewife, she has to be a very dedicated woman at her line of work, and I want her to be strong, adventurous, and independent."
"I also want her to be YOUNGER than me," Meyer emphasized, knowing that Mrs. Phoenix Gray—despite her everlasting beauty—was still a lady in her 30s.
She should know better, right?
andasnovel.com "Oh, great!" Chloe chirped happily, which sounded like death for Meyer.
Meyer clenched the steering wheel to ensure he didn't lose control of the car and then asked, "W—What do you mean, Ma'am? Why are you asking me that question?"
"Oh—hihi, it's nothing," Chloe said. "I just have a surprise for you. But, are you free this Saturday?"
'Oh fuck! Damn it! Why is she not giving up? Does she not realize that I still prefer to have my head attached to my neck?' Meyer swallowed his saliva out of nervousness.
"No, Ma'am, I have something to do."
"Saturday night?"
"No."
"Sunday morning?"
"No."
"Sunday night?"
"Ma'am, please just tell me what do you want," Meyer begged as he was so scared. "You're making me confused right now."
This lady was obviously very gorgeous. It was no wonder that Mr. Phoenix Gray was absolutely whipped for her.
But Meyer also knew how dangerous this lady was.
Because Chloe had Vernon behind her back, glaring at everyone who dared to covet his wife. That was why Chloe didn't have any male friends despite her friendliness and beauty.
"Oh, hahaha, don't be so nervous, Meyer," Chloe giggled. "I want to set you up for a blind date."
"A blind date?"
"Mhm, I have a friend that is very close to me. She's almost like a sister to me, in fact," Chloe said. "She's currently going through plenty of dates and all of them are unsuccessful. So I thought, maybe you can be her blind date for once and well, you know, try to work it out with her."
Meyer was relieved that Mrs. Phoenix Gray wasn't into her. He thought he'd die because of his boss's wrath just now.
"Well, I'm currently single, Ma'am. I'd like to have a date, but…." Meyer stared at the road for a moment and then added. "But I'm very busy with my job right now. I don't know if your best friend is willing to date a man who happens to be a workaholic."
"Oh, don't worry. She's a workaholic too, probably even more than you."
"Really?"
"Yes!"
Meyer was intrigued now.
He thought that Chloe's best friend was one of the Moms from the school. So he thought he'd be going on a date with a single mom.
"She is exactly your type too! Beautiful, fierce, dedicated to her job, workaholic, and also independent and adventurous!" Chloe said as she kept boasting about Diamond. "So what do you think? Do you want to try and go on a date with her?"
Meyer had no intention of dating the said woman. He knew that with his demanding job, his pool was limited.
But he didn't want to disappoint his female boss, so he agreed, "Alright, Ma'am. I will go if you insist."
"Then when are you free? You told me that you're so busy on the weekend just now," Chloe asked.
"Uh… S—Saturday night should be alright, Ma'am. I think I can empty the schedule," Meyer said. He was embarrassed to tell Mrs. Phoenix Gray he thought she was interested in him.
"Great! Saturday night it is!"

Chloe arrived at the school and waited until Mackie and Aaron walked out of the school entrance together.
She was afraid Aaron might get alienated or, even worse, bullied by his peers.
After all, no matter how much she tried to advise Aaron, she still had no control over the real situation at school. All she could do was to keep checking by contacting the principal if there was any issue with Mackie or Aaron.
Fortunately, both of them had a big smile on their faces.
"Mommy!"
"Aunty!"
Chloe patted their heads simultaneously and then asked, "You two seem to be happy. How's the first day at school after winter break?"
"Everything is great! I finished all of my homework on time, and the teachers said that I'm very smart!" Mackie reported.
"I… um… I make friends in my class. They are kind, and they even allow me to play with them during recess. It's fun!" Aaron reported.
Chloe was glad her babies could live normally after enduring many traumatic experiences.
Truthfully, Chloe still hadn't forgotten her real reason for leaving Vincent.
Vincent could beat her until she was dying, but she might stay because of the dependency that Vincent had implanted in her mind.
But she would NOT tolerate him for ruining their daughter's life as well. She was a bad father, and Chloe knew her daughter's future would be bleak if she stayed with Vincent.
She didn't want Mackie to grow up to be an awful woman just because she tried to emulate what her father did.
'But, should I limit Vincent from meeting his own daughter if he has turned over a new leaf?' Chloe asked herself. 'After all, Mackie might eventually want to see her biological father once more, and I'm not cruel enough to separate my daughter from her father….'
'Maybe… there will be a time when Vincent realized how wrong he was to treat Mackie and I awfully,' Chloe thought. 'But the first question is, can Vincent change his way? He acts like he was born evil, but I… I just think that he can change.'
Chloe doubted herself because Vernon said that Vincent was still the same sociopathic, narcissist bastard even after he had fallen out of his high horse.
'I hope he changes. I still want Mackie to grow up knowing that her father has become a good man,' Chloe wished.
"Mommy? Mommy!"
"Ah—" Chloe snapped out of her daze when Mackie kept calling her. "What is it, dear?"
"Can we stop for ice cream before we go home?"
"It's still cold. I don't want you two to get sick," Chloe replied. "I'll just make you two hot choco and warm snacks at home, alright?"
"Whooo!!"
"Thank you, Aunty!"
