"Not anymore. I'm fine now," Vernon said. There was a long pause until he opened his mouth again. "Thank you…"
Chloe smiled and rubbed Vernon's hair, "Don't drink too much next time, okay?"
"Mm…"
After she was done, Chloe sat on the opposite chair, directly facing Vernon. She was relieved that the atmosphere was much more relaxed after she rubbed Vernon's back.
'This should be the right time. I don't want him to mingle with Vincent, but I need to tell him slowly, or he will explode at me again,' Chloe thought. She took a deep breath to gather her courage and opened her mouth;
"Vernon, do you have a business project with Vincent?"
…
"Did Diamond tell you about it?" Vernon asked back, and Chloe answered with a nod.
Vernon scoffed in response, "I thought she could be professional about it. I never like to get snitched like this."
