Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 166

Chapter 166 Reclaiming Her Man 

Chloe’s smile widened as she replied, “Of course, I’ll make sure to find the perfect gift for you after work today. How do you want to celebrate? Will we be going to Grandpa’s place?” 

“Just you and me,” he replied. 

She was slightly taken aback and said, “Okay, got it.” 

Tomorrow was Joseph’s birthday, while the end of the month loomed a mere two days away. Time seemed to slip through their fingers, carrying them closer to the impending court hearing. 

Fairlight’s marketing department convened their regular morning meeting, and Ms. Wendy somberly delivered the news that Jason had been fired. Curiosity and concern filled the room as whispers of confusion and speculation floated among the team members. 

“Why did this happen?” 

“I saw him working overtime last night. Why did this happen all of a sudden?” 

“He hasn’t led any major projects recently. What could he have done wrong? It seems like it’s 

serious.” 

Ms. Wendy shook her head. “I’m not privy to the details. The decision was made by the higher- ups.” 

Upon their arrival that morning, the team had already noticed Jason’s belongings being packed up under the watchful eyes of the security personnel. 

A peculiar glint sparked in Chloe’s eyes. She pursed her lips, determined to uncover the truth, and swiftly composed a text to Joseph. 

[Is Jason connected to Jane?] 

A swift response appeared on her screen. 

[Yes.] 

Suddenly, it all made sense. Jason’s mysteriously well-timed bathroom breaks yesterday revealed his motive with clarity. Given Jane’s long-standing infatuation for Joseph, it was no surprise that she had planted covert eyes and ears within Fairlight. 

While Chloe acknowledged the situation, she consciously chose not to dwell on it, immersing herself in her work after the meeting. With unwavering determination, she directed her focus toward her tasks and responsibilities. 

During that time, she received a call from Ms. Wendy, summoning her into the office. The 

instructions from above were clear: terminate the cooperation with Moongazer Constructions. Chloe was surprised. “So, who will be compensating whom for the breach of contract?” 

Ms. Wendy responded with a mysterious smile. “My guess is that it will be Melody Grace.” 

“That seems highly probable.” 

A well-established business unexpectedly took a turn for the worse, and Melody could not escape blame for it. 

In the afternoon, with no immediate work on her plate, Chloe decided to take half a day off and met Emily for a shopping trip. They planned to buy a gift for Joseph. 

The two rendezvoused at a luxurious shopping mall. With her hair pulled back into a high ponytail which exuded vibrant energy, Emily appeared to be in a much better state than before. The intimate photos had never been exposed to her; perhaps it was for the best. 

Chloe playfully remarked, “Finally back to your old self, huh?” 

“Of course! There’s no point in being sad and shedding tears over a scumbag. I was just a little down,” Emily replied, her expression filled with mischief. 

“Let the past stay in the past. Preventing yourself from sinking further is the wisest decision,” Chloe advised. 

Emily leaned in with a mischievous grin on her face. “Oh, look at you, spouting all these wise quotes. Seems like you and Joseph are having quite a fruitful time together.” 

“Stop teasing me,” Chloe said, brushing off Emily’s comment, before turning to the task at hand. “Tomorrow is Joseph’s birthday. What do you think would be a good gift for him? It’s a bit difficult to choose because he already has everything due to him being so rich. He doesn’t care about inexpensive things, and I can’t afford extravagant ones. It’s quite a headache.” 

Understanding the dilemma, Emily nodded in agreement. “That’s why the thought behind the gift matters most. I don’t think you need to worry too much. Just choose something you feel suits him and falls within your budget. It’s the sentiment that counts.” 

“You’re right.” 

Due to budget constraints, Chloe scoured the whole mall, excluding luxury stores, in search of a suitable gift. Eventually, she stumbled upon a cozy home attire that was priced a little over $ 450. Considering that Joseph often wore pajamas at home, it seemed like a practical choice. 

“Miss, this pajama set also has a women’s version. It’s currently on sale. Two sets for a 55% discount. It’s an amazing deal. Would you like to get an extra one?” The salesperson presented a matching set of pajamas in the same color to her. 

Chloe’s eyes sparkled as she laid her gaze upon the outfit. ‘A 55% discount!’ 

She reached out and felt the fabric, which seemed even softer than Joseph’s. Realizing that she did not have many summer pajamas, she felt a strong temptation. However, the sets were designed for couples. Would Joseph misunderstand her intentions if she bought them? 

Emily, equally excited about the discount, chimed in, “Absolutely! A 55% discount is practically a steal.” 

“Okay.” Chloe gritted her teeth and agreed. “I’ll take both sets.”
