Chapter 207 The Sweet Affection Between Jojo and Me
Maurice’s mind froze as he suddenly realized the truth. Forgetting his pain, his face transformed into an expression of sheer astonishment as he gazed at Joseph, then turned his disbelieving eyes toward Chloe.
These two individuals did not share a mere superior- subordinate relationship. That foolish Ellie had unknowingly entangled him in this mess. It became clear why stealing data from Fairlight had never posed a problem in the past. Joseph had personally intervened this time because of his connection
to Chloe.
Maurice was consumed by despair as his life plunged into darkness. With Joseph’s involvement, the despicable and vile actions of Baxon were exposed to the financial world, spreading like wildfire. Numerous companies swiftly
terminated their contracts with Baxon, causing their stock market value to plummet, pushing them dangerously close to the brink of bankruptcy.
Ellie, likely aware of the unfolding events, was absent from work for several days. In the midst of this, Chloe received a call from Ms. Wendy inquiring about the situation. Chloe provided a thorough explanation, but all Ms. Wendy responded with was silence. It was evident that Ms. Wendy, who had played a significant role in Ellie’s career development, was deeply disappointed in Ellie’s actions.
One day, while Chloe was heading downstairs to join her colleagues for lunch, she noticed Xavia standing at the entrance of the Fairlight’s building. Holding a handbag
tightly, Xavia’s eyes eagerly scanned the surroundings,
searching for someone in the distance. Chloe could not help but inwardly roll her eyes, realizing that Xavia was likely
waiting for Joseph.
The allure of first love remained strong. Regardless of Joseph’s explanations, a first love’s hold on his heart seemed
unshakeable. Just a few days had passed, and here they were, meeting again.
Chloe, full of disdain for Joseph’s efforts, locked eyes with Xavia, who took the initiative to greet her.
“Ms. Chloe.”
Chloe’s eyebrows twitched, signaling her colleagues to go ahead and have lunch without her.
“Ms. Chloe, I personally made these snacks for Toto. Also, I wanted to thank both of you for your help the other day. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have known who to turn to.”
“The person you should thank is Joseph. It has nothing to do with me.
A strange expression flickered in Xavia’s eyes. “Aren’t you and Joe already married? Why is there a hint of unfamiliarity in your words?”
With her reminder, Chloe straightened her back and finally assumed her role. “I’m accustomed to calling him by his given name in our daily life. It feels more personal. Joseph was the one who helped you that day, and I didn’t do much.”
“Okay. By the way, how long have you two been married?”
“About half a year.”
“How long have you known each other?”
Chloe paused briefly before responding, “You seem pretty interested in our relationship.” She narrowed her almond- shaped eyes, her smile carrying a deeper meaning.
