"Would you mind coming to Mr. Gray's office? I think that's the safest place for us to have a long talk."
Chloe was stunned by the offer. She thought that Maria must've been kidding since she claimed she knew about the problem between Vincent and her.
'There is no way in hell I'm going to go to Vincent's office,' Chloe thought.
But she still had to approach the conversation carefully. Secretary Maria might be an old woman, but she was shrewd and full of dangerous surprises.
Thus, after mustering some courage, Chloe stated boldly, "If you actually know about the problem between Vincent and I, then there is no way you'd offer us to talk in Vincent's office."
"Oh, I know the problem really well, Mrs. Gray," Secretary Maria replied. She still had her arrogance and strict expression, as if she had deliberately calculated everything. "That's why I offered to talk in Mr. Vincent Gray's office, in case you want to admit your mistake."
