Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother

Chloe stood behind Vernon as the executive elevator went down to the designated floor Vernon wanted. There was nothing but choking silence that made her uncomfortable.

Chloe glanced at Vernon's back. He was a head and half taller than her and had a broad shoulder that intimidated her a lot. But she thought despite his intimidating stature, Vernon still had a trace of his childhood attitude, especially the bratty side of him… which made him into more of a manchild, really.

She wanted to say something to break the silence. She opened her mouth a few times but zipped it back right before a sound escaped his lips.

Vernon clicked his tongue and commented, "If you need something, say it. You're annoying me."

"Ah—" Chloe gasped and stammered instantly. She had no idea what to talk about, not after the thing they did together and how Vernon suddenly had a huge outburst without any trigger whatsoever.

"I—I… um…." Chloe was thinking hard to find a topic that wouldn't anger Vernon. But since she was never good at this kind of small talk, she asked, "D—Do you want your lunch to be warmed first?"

'New novel chapters are published on Novel-Bin',

…

'Oh, Chloe, that's so stupid!' Chloe blamed herself for asking the most unnecessary question ever. But that was the only thing in her mind since she was carrying the lunch bag for Vernon.

She was ready for Vernon to scold her again, so she hunched her back and closed her eyes, waiting for him.

But there was only silence, followed by him coughing once to alert Chloe about his answer, "I like it warm."

"Ah— Excuse me?" Chloe asked again. She was a little surprised that Vernon would actually entertain that stupid question.

"… Warm lunch. There's a microwave in the pantry. Don't forget the banana milk," Vernon told her.

Ding!

Chloe was stunned when the elevator was suddenly opened, and Vernon walked out of the elevator first. He pointed to the right with his chin, "There's the pantry. I'll be waiting in my office."

Vernon swaggered towards the office, and the staff who were busy with their activities stopped immediately, many of the women were awed by the handsome and young CEO, Vernon Phoenix Gray, but none of them dared to greet him, knowing that he got a temper that nobody wanted to mess with.

Chloe went to the pantry to prepare for Vernon's lunch, and a few male staff chatted while making coffee.

Chloe had minimum contact with men in general since Vincent always told her that no man would tolerate her ugly fat ass. He also called her a whore if she smiled while talking with other men, even if they were relatives.

So, Chloe lowered her head, passed the male staff, and murmured, "Excuse me…."

The male staff looked at the small, beautiful lady in front of them. They had never seen her before, and two out of three looked at each other, signaling themselves to approach the new staff.

Chloe was busy unpacking the lunch bag and arranged the food on a plate to make it appetizing before putting it inside the microwave. She pressed a few buttons, just enough not to overheat and ruin the taste.

She checked around the pantry to find glasses, and when she turned around, she gasped spontaneously.

Because two male staff were standing behind her the whole time.

Chloe turned around and took a step back in response as she saw the two men were grinning at her. They were showing their friendly toward her, but their gaze definitely said something else.

"Hi, are you new here?" one man asked as he opened the conversation. He tried to approach Chloe, but the petite woman said nothing and took another step back.

"If you're new here, we can show you around. What division are you in? I never know that we have a beauty in the office."

Chloe became even more uncomfortable when the two of them moved toward her. She tried to form a word to reject them both, but she was tongue-tied. She took another step back until her waist hit the corner of the kitchen table.

The two men glanced at each other in tacit understanding. They were confident that at least one of them would be able to score soon. It was pretty rare for them to get a hot woman as a staff, most of the hot ones turned into actresses or singers under Mr. Phoenix Gray's protection, so they couldn't do anything with them.

Well, there was Diamond…

She was really hot and was a model before she worked for Mr. Phoenix Gray.

But she was fierce and would beat their asses if they dared to touch her, she might look beautiful, but her bitch-slap was rather painful.

However, this new woman looked shy and weak, a good target for them.

Chloe got scared because they kept staring at her from the neck, despite her wearing a regular modest shirt that showed nothing. She covered her boobs with her hands as she felt exposed and scared right now.

"Hey, don't be scared. We're going to be coworkers, right? Let's know each other better!"

"Yep, or if you want, we both can accompany you around. As long as Mr. Phoenix Gray didn't catch us slacking a bit, he is really scary despite being younger than me," one man shuddered just thinking about that ruthless devil CEO.

"Haha, yeah! But he keeps yelling at us if we're slacking, but he fucked many women. I bet his private office is just a huge sex dungeon!"

The two men were laughing as they slandered Vernon. Chloe— who was scared, suddenly felt a little angry in her heart, knowing that her cute little Vernon had been slandered right in front of her.

But what they said next was the one who forced a reaction out of her;

"I bet Diamond stood around naked with him. What can that bimbo do anyway? She acts like she is some kind of smartass! I bet she pouted her ass every day for our CEO to fuck, HAHAHA!"
