"Excuse me, Sir, I'm here with your new Secretary that will start working today."

"Oh, let her in!" Vincent shouted. He was actually excited to see what kind of woman would be his secretary. He hadn't hired a new young and beautiful secretary after Priscilla left, mostly because he was too busy searching for Chloe and swamped with work.

Maria also told him not to find another woman for a while because he wasn't in the best mental state after Chloe left.

Which was, unfortunately, true.

He hated to admit it, but Vincent felt that his sanity slowly deteriorated as Chloe was missing in his life.

He didn't know that Chloe could make such a huge impact on him. He thought that Chloe was a deadweight, a useless woman he cared for because he was a generous man.

After all, Chloe hadn't done anything significant in life. She was just a housewife who could cook and spread her legs. She had no more use!

'But why do I feel so empty?' Vincent asked himself over and over each time he remembered about Chloe. 'She's just a replaceable woman that hadn't contributed a thing in my life. I shouldn't think about her, right?'

At first, he was sure he could move on quickly.

But reality hit him hard once he realized he couldn't take her off his mind. Chloe was like a parasite that latched into his mind and heart, refusing to leave, and it only got Vincent even angrier than before.

The door was slowly opened from outside, and the long-awaited secretary finally came in, and her appearance shocked Vincent so much.

"What in the—"

The male secretary introduced the new secretary, "Mr. Gray, this is Miss Khloe Carpenter. She is twenty-five years old and she's a fresh graduate from Yale."

The young woman bowed politely and added, "You can call me Khloe, Mr. Gray. I'll start working from today. The HR department already told me everything that I need to do here."

Vincent wasn't sure if he was crazy, but this woman was Priscilla. Yes, that bitch Priscilla he kicked a while ago.

Her face was the same. The only difference was her eye and hair color.

Priscilla was a blonde with blue eyes.

But this woman had long and wavy chestnut hair alongside hazel eyes.

In Vincent's eyes, this woman was trying to copy Chloe's signature chestnut hair and hazel eyes alongside her meek demeanor, but of course, she couldn't fool him.

She was Priscilla! Not Chloe or Khloe!

Vincent looked at the male secretary while holding his anger, "Why did you bring this bitch into my office?"

"P—Pardon, Sir?" The male secretary was shocked, but Khloe didn't seem to be surprised at all.

"This bitch is Priscilla, my old secretary. Do you really think that I'm fucking blind?!" 

The Male secretary trembled in fear instantly. His face paled, but he stood still and tried to defend himself, "N—No, Sir. They might look similar, but we have all the proof that this woman is NOT Priscilla. We hired her because she has the qualification, she's gorgeous, young, and smart. She's everything you need, Sir!"

Vincent was so angry at this bastard who dared to play him like this.

He was about to snap again, but the young lady, who had been silent for a while, finally spoke up, "Mr. Gray, my name is Khloe Carpenter. I don't know who this Priscilla is, but having a similar facial feature doesn't mean we're the same people."

"Besides, I really want to work in this office, Mr. Gray! You have been my inspiration to work hard. I always think about you whenever I feel sad, because I know there's someone as great as you in this world, so I have to at least try to be just like you!"

Vincent was stunned by this young woman's words. She had the face and voice of Priscilla, but the way she spoke was very different from that bitch.

This young lady was soft-spoken, and it seemed genuine when she said she wanted to be just like him.

So he began to doubt himself whether this person was Priscilla or not.

He darted his eyes to the male secretary and asked, "Are you sure her name is Khloe, not Priscilla?"

"I'm 100% sure, Sir!" The male secretary replied eagerly. "The head of the HR department has checked all the data and he said that her name is indeed Khloe Carpenter, not Priscilla. They just have a very similar facial feature."

Vincent peered suspiciously at this woman and asked, "Do you have any siblings?"

"No, Sir. I'm an only child," Khloe replied. She lowered her head ashamedly and said, "I'm sorry if my appearance doesn't suit your taste, Sir. I'm just here to work, I have no intention to make you uncomfortable."

"…" Vincent sighed. He didn't know if his eyes had been tricking him or whatsoever. Nevertheless, he couldn't simply throw this woman out since she seemed genuinely inexperienced and just wanted to work.

'Usually I'd be excited to have this kind of secretary. They're usually very naive and would give their body to me with only a few sweet words coming out of my mouth,' Vincent thought. 'But why do I feel wary about this woman? This woman is not Priscilla, right?'

"Alright, you'll start working with me from now on," Vincent said.

Khloe's face brightened instantly, and she nodded happily, "Thank you so much, Sir!"

Vincent sighed and told the male secretary to leave now while Khloe could stay with him and did the paper.

"You can take all of these documents and read them on your desk outside. Just give me the documents that come from our business partners and ignore the rest, there is a stamp that shows the document is from a partner, understand?" Vincent said.

"Yes, Sir, I will work hard!"

Khloe hurriedly grabbed a thick stack of documents on the CEO's desk and tried her best to carry them all at once as she excused herself.

Vincent watched Khloe from the back. He still couldn't ignore this eerie feeling in his heart telling him that woman was Priscilla.

But the way they spoke was very different.

Priscilla had that bitchy aura in her, she spoke like she was the queen, and she didn't care about whatever people said about her as long as she was with Vincent.

He merely saw her as a fun pet. She was bitchy, funny, and loud because she was very different from Chloe, who was meek and submissive. She was also wild in bed, which spiced up his sex life compared to when he was with Chloe.

Though, he already forgot when was the last time he did it with Chloe. He got used to beating her up while having sex with another woman for the past ten years, to the point that he had forgotten what it felt like to be with her.

Vincent sighed. He tried not to think about Chloe.

But the more he tried to ward her off his thoughts, the harder it was to escape her.

"Argh, let's just forget about her for now. I still have a lot to do. I don't want the company that my dad has worked for his entire life to crumble just because of a stupid rumor!"

Vincent gritted his teeth as he felt wronged by the world. He was obviously very powerful to the point that he was almost untouchable. How could everything have turned into a mess after Chloe left him? It didn't make sense at all!

"Just you wait, Chloe Gray. I will bring you back, and you will beg after making me a laughing stock like this!"

Thus, Vincent worked the whole day with only one goal in mind, and that was to make sure that everything would return to normal and that the public would be back worshiping him again. 

He walked out of his office after a long day, passed the secretary's desk, and realized that Khloe was still working on the documents. 

After all, there was so much for her to read because Maria had been absent for a while, and thus she had to do everything. 

"Why are you still working at this hour?" Vincent asked.

"Ah, Mr. Gray!" Khloe got up from the desk and bowed politely. "I just finished half of the documents. I'm so sorry that I cannot finish it all on time."

"It's fine," Vincent said. He wanted to snap at this young lady for being slow, but the way she acted so meek and pitiful reminded him of Chloe, and somehow he lost his will to get angry. "Just resume it tomorrow."

"I—I will try to finish it tonight, Sir. I will bring this to my apartment, or I'll just work overtime!" Khloe said with sincerity, which made Vincent uncomfortable because she reminded him so much of Chloe, who always showed that sincere look no matter how often he abused her.
