Diana nodded, and then her gaze shifted back to Chloe. "Is this lady a friend you brought along?" Diana didn't recognize Chloe. Naturally, she wasn't on the guest list.

Sorry for not welcoming you properly." Cassie, ever so nonchalant, said, "Don't worry about it. She's not here for you." Then, looking down at Chloe, she said, "Con, let's not bother with them and head upstairs to have sfun." Cassie was slim but tall. Even next to Chloe, who was in heels, she was still a bit taller. From behind, one might mistake her for Chloe's boyfriend. Chloe smiled, "It's getting late. I should be going." She glanced at Diana. "Miss Diana, happy birthday. I'll be on my way now." Then, Chloe turned and left. Cassie immediately followed. "Letdrive you." The two disappeared into the Gilbert family's courtyard. As they vanished, the gossip started.
"They seem really close." "With Cassie looking so androgynous, she must be gay. That Ms. Chloe is so stunning. Is she her girlfriend?" "Even as a straight woman, I'm smitten by that beauty." Diana interrupted, "Please, stop talking about my cousin." The conversation quickly shifted. "Let's go cut the cake. How about you and Connor do it together?" Diana turned to Connor, hopeful, "Uncle Connor, may we?" Connor nodded, "Of course." Meanwhile, Cassie drove Chloe to the hotel Chloe sat in the passenger seat, silently watching the scenery fly by. She had dropped all pretenses and slouched in her seat like a weary cat "You okay?" Cassie asked.
Chloe leaned against the window, her eyes following the bustling lights outside. "I'm fine." "What's going on? How did you end up with someone like Connor?" Chloe turned her head, a small smile creeping onto her lips. "He was my Trophy Boy for three years." Cassie, startled, nearly swerved the steering wheel. "Holy crap! So, he's the Trophy Boy you mentioned." Cassie had been abroad, and though she knew bits and pieces auchmel Chloe occasionally kept in Chloe's life.
Chloe grinned. "Impressive, right?"

Chloe smiled, too. Cassie noticed her friend didn't seem too heartbroken, e but something seemed off. "Chloe, are you really okay?" "I'm fine. He's just a fling, after all. If liner our relationship is over, it's over.
Should be dying over it? It's not worth it." Chloe's tone was indifferent.
