Chapter 201 The Upper Class
Lucas walked over, and right in front of Chloe, said to the man who was saving her number, “You can go to Finance to get
your this month’s salary before you leave.”
For a moment, the man could not understand. “But today isn’t payday.”
Realization dawned on Chloe. She said fearfully, “Is he fired…”
Lucas was implicit. “Pretty close.” He glanced at the new number she recently added that appeared on her phone screen in silent advice.
Chloe was instantly enlightened. She speedily walked in the direction Joseph had left.

“We just exchanged numbers and didn’t do anything. It isn’t a big deal for colleagues to exchange contacts.” Chloe tugged at Joseph’s sleeves and said flatteringly, “Could you please not fire him…”
‘If not, I’ll feel very guilty. That colleague looks to be my age. He most probably had to get past many difficulties after passing the interview in the recruitment process.‘
However, Joseph chuckled out of fury. He cracked a sinister smile. “Are you begging for mercy on another man’s behalf?”
“No, I simply find him innocent. I’ll delete his number right now.” She took out her phone and quickly deleted the contact she had added in front of him. “Look. I deleted it. Please don’t
fire him. You’re so handsome and have such a nice figure. Of

Joseph glanced at Chloe thoughtfully while she showered him with praises. Suddenly, his mood lightened. “It’s because you have good insight.”
“That’s right. Jojo, you’re right. Even if you doubt me, you
can’t doubt my insight.” Seeing that there was hope after all, she pushed her luck and hugged his arm, swinging it gently. Don’t fire him. I’m begging you. I promise not to add the numbers of colleagues from other departments from now on.
Her voice was delicate and coquettish. It was as light as a feather as it slowly calmed the gloominess in Joseph’s eyes. He then waved his hand. “Lucas.”
Seeing this, Lucas felt exasperated. “Got it. I’ll deal with it now.”
Chloe watched him leave before she heaved a sigh of relief. But her phone rang at that moment. It was a call from Icarus.
‘D*mn it! I just pacified Joseph, and I don’t want to have to do it again.‘
Thus, she resolutely rejected Icarus‘ call.
A tinge of doubt flashed across Joseph’s eyes. “Who was that?”
“An insurance agent.”
She sounded calm and casual, so Joseph raised his eyes but inquired no more about that.
The news conference was on the ground floor of the company building. When Chloe was back at the scene, most of the people had left. She did not intend to call Icarus back, but he called her again after a while. After some hesitation, she
answered.
“Chloe, where are you now?”
“I’m at work.”
“Look at the hot search now. Ava suddenly became a
shareholder of a film company and she seems to be dating a popular male celebrity at the moment. There must be
