Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 13

Emily’s shoulders slumped as she said, “I’m sorry, Coco. There’s only one position that’s suitable for you and we just filled it today. 

“But the headquarters of Fairlight has moved to our country, and it’s not far from here. I read online that they’re recruiting an Estrenian translation specialist. Your Estrenian is good, and you have the certification. You’ll definitely be up to the task. Why don’t you give it a try? 

“Are you talking about the Fairlight Group that made a comeback a few years ago?” Chloe asked, her eyes fixed on Emily. 

“Yes! That’s the one!” Emily said as she pointed to the tall building in the north. “It’s right there. It’s not very far from here. I heard that they offer great benefits. If you land the job, we can go out for dinner every day after work!” 

Chloe followed Emily’s finger and looked to the center of the city, where the tallest commercial building there had been transformed into a structure with two prominent words—Fairlight Group—written in black and gold at the top. 

Chloe’s eyes flickered. Five years ago, the Fairlight Group was on the brink of bankruptcy after its investment went sour. Then, a mysterious man took over the company and was met with scorn from many industry leaders who predicted that he would undoubtedly lose everything by taking over. This became a hot topic at the time. 

To everyone’s surprise, just a year later, the mystery man at the helm of the company led it to make a remarkable comeback. He not only managed to overcome the previous business losses, but also earned numerous accolades, establishing himself as a top financial genius. 

Chloe believed that if she could secure a job under the guidance of such an intelligent and capable leader, her future would be equally promising as it would be at Artron. 

However… 

“I don’t major in finance,” Chloe said worriedly, “Do you think they’ll give me a chance?” 

“Well, how would you know if you don’t try?” Emily replied. 

Chloe pondered over it and then began to hesitate when she remembered her bank account balance. After a while, she nodded. “Okay! I’ll submit my resume tonight!” 

After having dinner with Emily, Chloe took the bus back to Joseph’s villa. As soon as she walked in, she was welcomed by the aroma of delicious food. 

She spent the whole night working on her resume, enduring the drowsiness that threatened to overcome her. Finally, she submitted it to the company’s email and collapsed onto her desk in exhaustion after seeing the successful submission notification. 

After dinner, Joseph went to his study and spent several hours reviewing financial reports. He massaged his temples before getting up to go to the garden for some fresh air. As he passed by the guest bedroom, he noticed a faint light shining from under the door that was left ajar. He furrowed his brows and took a step closer, peering inside. 

There, he saw Chloe lying on her side in a lilac, low-cut nightgown. She looked completely defenseless. The lamp on the bedside table cast shadows on her fair neck and extended downwards, partially covering and revealing some of her beauty. 

Joseph’s eyes darkened and he reached out to close the door firmly. 

At the sound of the loud “click,” Chloe was jolted awake from her sleep. She heard the footsteps outside the door gradually fade away and her thoughts returned to reality. 

When she arrived in the garden, she saw Joseph there and asked in confusion, “Did you knock on my door just now?”
