Chloe sat on the seat, still trying to process everything she had learned about her husband's secret life. She was about to leave the room when she heard the door opening and Diamond walking in with a cup of tea.
Chloe looked at the cup of tea and felt a mix of emotions, "You… brought tea for me?"
"Yes, Mrs. Gray. Mr. Phoenix Gray must have been going wild on you," Diamond said, her eyes filled with sympathy.
Chloe looked at Diamond, "Did you know what's inside this room?"
"Yes, I do," Diamond replied.
"So, he has used this room with many women before?"
"Not many, just women that Mr. Phoenix Gray found interesting," Diamond explained. "He has many flings in the past, but he only took a certain female demographic inside this room."
"Certain female demographic?" Chloe asked, her curiosity getting the better of her.
"I cannot disclose the information, Missus," Diamond said, her tone firm but polite.
Chloe felt a shiver run down her spine as she imagined all the women who had been in this room before her. She didn't want to know more, but her curiosity kept pushing her to ask.
'Isn't he afraid of STDs?' Chloe thought, her mind racing with the possible consequences of his actions.
Diamond sensed Chloe's unease and pried open the conversation, "Don't worry about the props, Mrs. Gray. Mr. Phoenix Gray always replaced all the props with brand new ones every time he switched partners."
"Really?" Chloe asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
"Yes, so you don't need to worry about STDs. He is clean as well," Diamond said, her words dripping with insincerity.
But little did Chloe know, Diamond was hiding the truth. Mr. Phoenix Gray hadn't replaced the props as often as he claimed, and Diamond had to make sure everything was replaced with new items just yesterday.
Chloe took a sip of the tea, her mind still reeling with the revelations.
"Anyway, Mrs. Gray—" Diamond said, her voice breaking the silence.
"You… can call me Chloe…." Chloe said, her voice hesitant.
"Ah, that would be impolite of me," Diamond refused, her tone firm but polite.
"You can call me Chloe in private then," Chloe said, her voice softening.
"That's… fair," Diamond hesitated, but Chloe seemed more comfortable with her name rather than being addressed as 'Mrs. Gray.'
Diamond pulled out something from her blazer pocket and placed it on the table, "Well, Chloe, Mr. Phoenix Gray already told me you accepted his term, right?"
"Yes…," Chloe replied, her voice cautious.
"That means I can give you this," Diamond said, her eyes gleaming with proprietary ownership.
Chloe stared at the items on the table, her mind racing with the meaning behind Diamond's words.
"And this is for?" Chloe asked, her voice laced with uncertainty.
"It's office facility," Diamond said, her tone firm but polite.
Diamond pointed at a car key, "There is a car for you in the VIP parking spot. It's a silver Bentley Continental GT. You can show the key to the security guard in the lobby, and he will lead you to your new car."
"What?!" Chloe's eyes widened, her mind reeling with the thought of having a luxury car.
But Diamond continued explaining, "And for those two—" Diamond pointed at two cards, one white with a name on it, and the other one.
"The white card is a card key for your new apartment in Phoenix Tower. It's on floor 20, room number 2," Diamond explained.
"And for the black card—

"The black card is Mr. Phoenix Gray's black card. He issued one more card for you, so you can use his credit card for the necessary purchase," Diamond said, her words dripping with insincerity.
Chloe felt a shiver run down her spine as she looked at the cards, her mind racing with the possibilities. She had no idea what lay ahead, but one thing was certain - her life was about to change forever.
