The Last Night with My Sugar Daddy Chapter 02

Chloe’s POV
Over the years, I would stay at Julian’s house every weekend.
At first, I always lugged around bags of all sizes, stuffed with clothes and endless bottles of skincare products.
He found it too troublesome for me to move things back and forth like that, so he simply had someone build a vanity table just for my belongings.
When I left that day, I took all those things with me.
Along with the pink slippers I usually wore at the entryway, and that nightgown in the closet.
While I did all this, Julian leaned quietly against the doorframe watching me, the emotions in his eyes dark and unreadable.
Until I finished packing and said my goodbyes to him.
“From now on, we’re strictly boss and subordinate.”
Seeing through my concerns, Julian gave a soft scoff.
“Relax, I won’t subject you to workplace retaliation.”
Sprinting all the way, I finally made it to company before ten o’clock.
My colleague Harper Davis was uncharacteristically generous and bought me a cup of coffee.
“Chloe, congratulations in advance! When you become the department director, don’t forget our trench comradeship.”
“The results aren’t out yet,” I smiled shyly.
“Why are you being so modest? Among the colleagues competing with you, you’ve been with the company the longest and completed the most major projects.
“Besides, everyone has seen how you’ve worked your fingers to the bone for the company all these years.
“You becoming the director is what everyone expects.”
“If I get it, I’ll treat everyone to a big feast!” I stopped being polite and said with a smile to the whole team,
The office erupted in cheers.
With three minutes left until ten, I clicked open my company email countless times.
I even ran to the restroom three times out of sheer nervousness.
Until the email opened, and that striking line of bold text jumped out at me.
“We regret to inform you that your promotion this time was unsuccessful…”
With a sudden crash, my mind went completely blank.
My team members scrambled over to look, and upon seeing the results on the screen, the once-bustling office instantly became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Until the HR director walked in smiling, leading someone inside, her voice breaking the dead silence.
“Let me introduce everyone. This is Serena Waldorf, a PhD graduate, and the new Planning Department Director personally appointed by Mr. Julian Vance.”
The moment I looked up, my breath hitched sharply—
Serena was wearing a sharply tailored white suit, her long hair loosely pinned at the back of her head, revealing a slender and pale neck.
She looked exactly like the person in the photo I had once seen tucked in the hidden compartment of Julian’s wallet.
