The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1085

I’m a bit baffled. I’ve never met her face–to–face, but it always feels like everything she’s been up to recently, is

somehow aimed at me.”

Dorthy chimed in, “Yeah, it’s clear as day. She’s scared you’re gonna steal something from her

Chloe looked a bit lost, as if she didn’t quite catch that, and asked again, “Me? What have I taken from her?”

“It’s Mr. Rupin, of course! She’s tight with Mr. Rupin, whose family are all big wigs in the Harper family company!

Any little shake–up in the Harper family is

like a gust of wind that affects everyone. Just a tiny slice of the Harper family pie is massive, right? If she marries

Mr. Rupin, she’s set for life!

And we all saw it yesterday, Mr. Rupin clearly has a thing for you. So Rhoda sees you as competition, terrified you’ll

snatch her spot.”

Chloe froze, staring at Dorthy for a moment, seemingly not quite catching up.

Her… and Rupin?

Snatching Rhoda’s spot?

Was this for real? Were women these days so good at second–guessing others?

“… I have a fiance… Actually, I already…

“We know, you have a fiancé! But in this day and age, with all the temptations around, switching teams is no biggie,

right? Plus, Mr. Rupin is younger, wealthier, comes from a better family, and is a real charmer…” Dorthy waved her

hand, saying it like it is.

Hey, Dorthy…”

A coworker nudged Dorthy with his elbow, Dorthy seemed to realize something and quickly changed her tune, “Of

course, I believe principled Ms. Summers wouldn’t switch teams…”

Chloe chuckled, looking at Dorthy somewhat helplessly, “What are you on about?”

“Hehe…” Dorthy stuck her tongue out naughtily.

Just then, the reception phone rang out of nowhere, Dorthy immediately picked it up. But within a minute, the sweet

smile on Dorthy’s face gradually faded.

She looked at Chloe then, “Ms. Summers, Mr. Rupin’s room specifically requested you to bring up two bottles of

water.”

Chloe slightly frowned, and kept silent for two seconds, a smirk appearing at the corner of her lips, such a boring

game.

“Got it.”

People like this, if she really wanted to play tit for tat, she’d be exhausted every single day.

In Rupin’s room, Fritz saw Rhoda hang up the phone, her face turning icy. “Rhoda, there’s water in the room.”

Rhoda glanced at him contemptuously, “I don’t like that kind. Why do you care? What right does an assistant have

to criticize me?”

Fritz frowned, looking at her coldly and went to the side table to clean up the messy files.

The CEO was about to inspect, and it was likely he would review last month’s sales data. These were all things Rupin

was supposed to handle, but Fritz ended up spending three nights putting them together. Now the files were

scattered all over the place, and he could only patiently tidy up.

Seeing Fritz like this, Rhoda thought of him chatting amicably with Chloe downstairs, she pursed her lips, walked up

and said, “Alright, you can go. I’ll clean up here.”

Fritz closed his eyes, and took a deep breath. Finally he stood up, opened the door of the room, and left.

Rhoda watched his retreating figure, rolling her eyes disdainfully, then started tidying the files littered on the table.

Among the scattered papers, some were covered in doodles, and some were dirty. Rhoda glanced over them,

crumpled the messy papers into a ball, and threw them in the trash.

Rupin came out of the bathroom just in time to see Rhoda sitting on the sofa, and the table was already tidy.

“Why are you here again? Don’t you have work?”

Rhoda stood up from the sofa, walked over to Rupin, and gently touched his wet chest with both hands.

“Because I’m always thinking about you, I don’t want to work. You have enough money to keep me, right?”

」。。,。,。,。,。,

Rupin raised an eyebrow, a hint of sarcasm flashing in his eyes. He gave her butt a light squeeze, “Flirting again?”

“Stop it!”

Rhoda hit Rupin’s shoulder twice.

Rupin didn’t continue teasing her, but turned around, picked up the towel and started dressing.

“The CEO is going for an inspection at the mall. I don’t have time to entertain you now. There are toys in the

drawer, play by yourself.”

Rhoda pouted, moved closer to Rupin, “Can I go to the mall with you? I’d like to see what Mr. Harper looks like…..”

“No, don’t cause trouble for me.”

“How could I possibly cause trouble for you? I’ll be like a customer at the mall, I won’t say a word, okay? Darling,

take me with you!”

“Alright, alright!”

Rupin helplessly pushed Rhoda away, but it didn’t look like he was seriously refusing.

Rhoda smiled, helping Rupin with his clothes. At that moment, the doorbell rang. She smirked, running to open the

door.

Chloe appeared in Rhoda’s sight, and she chuckled triumphantly. “Why are you so slow? The room temperature

made the water lukewarm. I like my water

a bit cooler. Even though you’re a bit slow, thanks anyway, because I’m not one to hold a grudge. Thank you”

Chloe gave a formal smile, “Well, thanks for being so magnanimous then. I’ll get out of your hair.”

“Alright.”

Rhoda raised an eyebrow, her arrogant voice naturally raised a notch.

Chloe glanced at her, a slight smirk tugged at the corner of her lips.

“Who was that?”

Rupin’s voice came from inside, Rhoda’s heart tightened, she gave Chloe a wary look, fearing she would tell Rupin

she was here, and quickly shut the door. Chloe turned around expressionless, Fritz next to her said, “She’s doing it

on purpose to make you uncomfortable.”

“What can I do? Everything she’s asking for is within my job duties.”

Fritz took a deep breath, “Just bear with it for now, it’ll be fine once Rupin finds a new target.”

“Looks like you’re not a fan of Rhoda.”

“She’s way too full of herself.”

After a brief exchange, Chloe took off.

Back in the room, all dressed up, Rupin asked Rhoda, “Where’s Fritz?”
