Chapter 399: Chapter 299: Feeling Like He’s Always Been 9
Looking at the empty street, with only a few cars occasionally passing by, Chloe Grant felt a deep sense of desolation.
Just like this street.
"What’s wrong?" Lucas Morgan asked, following Chloe Grant’s gaze ahead.
There was nothing.
Chloe Grant lowered her eyes with a sense of loss, a bitter smile on her lips, "Nothing... just thought someone was behind me."
Thought that he was behind her.
Like countless times before, standing behind her, watching over her, protecting her.
Unfortunately...
Chloe Grant felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
Before, she never knew.
By the time she realized, turned around... he was already gone.
Chloe Grant turned around with a sense of loss and walked forward...
Time flies like an arrow.
Some say, time will steal the most precious things under your eyelids.
Chloe Grant didn’t know if time had taken away her most precious things, but time had taken away the people she wanted to see.
In the blink of an eye, two years went by quickly.
Chloe Grant went from a twenty-year-old freshman to a twenty-two-year-old, just starting her junior year.
Two years may seem long, but in reality, it passed so quickly that it was astonishing.
In two years, she was still that little girl from before, without much change or maturity, just like that.
But it seems there were indeed changes.
And in these two years, Chloe Grant’s life was both calm and tumultuous.
The calmness: Matthew Morgan did not appear in her world even once in these two years, yet he still appeared in everyone else’s world.
He was still the most noble and wealthy Mr. Morgan in Imperial City, still the unrivaled Grandpa Morgan, the eldest young master of the Morgan family;
The tumultuousness: she constantly thought of him, on sleepless nights, looking at the moonlight outside the window, as if she could see his face.
In the dreamy nights, he seemed to come to her side, pulling the thin blanket over her.
But when she woke up startled, facing a room of silence, she could only smile bitterly.
...
In her junior year, Chloe Grant’s school arranged an internship.
Interning at a radio station, responsible for a light-hearted comedy segment, her position was a small assistant.
What was funny was that, at the same station, Lily Grant and Sophia Fraser were also there, the three of them being assistants to the three major hosts of the comedy segment.
They were three rival hosts each with an assistant they held a grudge against.
Chloe Grant sometimes wondered if the school had arranged it on purpose.
Ever since the time she had a fallout with Sophia Fraser and Ava Woods, Chloe Grant applied to change dorms and had a lukewarm relationship with her new roommates ever since.
Zoe Graham originally wanted to go with her, but unfortunately, there was only one bed available, so only Chloe Grant went.
When leaving the dorm, Chloe Grant and Zoe Graham’s relationship remained good. With Sophia Fraser and Ava Woods, however, it thoroughly faded.
When they met, they wouldn’t fight anymore, but there wouldn’t be any interaction either.
Passing by each other as strangers was best; sometimes Ava Woods would intentionally make sarcastic remarks, sometimes Chloe Grant would hold back, sometimes she wouldn’t, leading to verbal conflicts, but nothing too serious.
Running into Sophia Fraser was expected, but meeting Lily Grant was completely unexpected.
Even though she was in performing arts, she ended up interning at the radio station; it was peculiar.
"Chloe, you’re coming with me to the Imperial Club for dinner tonight."
The speaker was the host named "Dreamlike Life," whom everyone at the station called Little Dream.
She was very nice, taught Chloe Grant a lot, and always brought her along to any events or dinners.
