“Okay…”
Chloe did not dwell on the matter too much, thinking that she must have been hearing things.
“Are all your clothes this revealing?” Joseph suddenly asked in a cold voice.
Perplexed, she looked down at her nightgown, which reached her calves. “Revealing? What do you mean by revealing?”
“Your collar,” he answered.
Chloe was speechless. “Only a little of my collarbone is shown…”
Joseph was not much older than Jake. She assumed that he was at most eight years older than him, so why was he so conservative?
“Others won’t see a thing now, but what if you’re lying down?” Joseph stared at her, his magnetic voice pleasing to the ear.
Chloe was stunned when she heard what he said and suddenly realized what the closing sound from earlier was all about. Her cheeks grew hot but kept calm and met his gaze. “If I were lying down, it‘d only be in my own room. Unless…you have some sinister plot to secretly watch me.”
Joseph laughed and said in a calm voice, “Sorry, but I prefer D cups.”
In other words, Chloe was not his type.
Chloe’s ears were tinged with red as she realized that this shameless man was, in a roundabout way, insulting her for her lack of bosom. Her lips twitched as she stared at Joseph, who sat lazily in his chair.
His chiseled features were like the most perfect work of God, but now that illusion had been shattered. She knew he was sarcastic, but she never expected him to be shameless as well.
In a fit of anger, she stormed back to her room.
The next morning, Chloe received a call from the human resources department of Fairlight while she was still sleeping.
“Hi, Ms. Chloe, are you available for an interview this afternoon? If so, I’ll send the invitation to your email.”
