Chapter 217 Mr. Joseph, Please Advise My Sister
Ava’s ego balloon deflated a little, but she maintained her smile. “Are you jealous of me, Coco?”
“Why would I be jealous of you?” Chloe retorted.
One of her colleagues tugged at her sleeve and said, “Chloe, are you one of Wyatt’s haters?”
Chloe innocently smiled, “Being a Wyatt hater is a waste of time.”
Everyone was stumped.
“You’ve become a director in an entertainment company, Ava, so why settle for someone of such low status? You should at least aim for someone on the level of ‘Best Actor.””
Ava’s eyes twitched, finding some truth in those words. Wyatt could not be considered exceptional in the entertainment industry, and given Ava’s current position and status, she should have sought someone better.
She glanced at the man who could not even utter a word when insulted and felt a surge of disgust.
Having achieved her goal, Chloe did not give Ava a chance to speak further and grabbed her colleague’s arm before turning away.
Ava stomped her foot in anger and glared at Wyatt. “Do you not know how to defend yourself?”
Wyatt weakly replied, “I didn’t know what to say….
“Pathetic!”
Wyatt lowered his gaze, displaying a meek, submissive demeanor that only intensified Ava’s
frustration.
Just then, Joseph and Alexander returned to Fairlight after concluding their business discussion and were heading toward Joseph’s office to sign the contract.
With a calculated gaze, Ava assessed the man steadily advancing toward her. She then shifted her attention to the paparazzi, lurking stealthily amid the bustling crowd, their cameras ready to capture any moment of significance. A devious plan began to take shape in Ava’s mind, as she contemplated how to manipulate the situation to her advantage.
Yet, the memory of his past violent outburst remained vivid in Ava’s mind, instilling a deep sense of fear within her. The celebrity who had accompanied her last time ended up with a broken bone.
That being said, someone like Joseph undoubtedly prioritized the company’s public image. Ava wondered if Joseph would still protect Chloe as an employee once he discovered what kind of person she was.
With these thoughts in mind, a cunning smile crossed Ava’s face as she confidently walked toward Joseph. “Hello, Mr. Joseph. I have something I’d like to ask you,” she said.
Towering over Ava, Joseph stood with one hand casually tucked into his pocket and responded with an air of indifference, “I don’t believe I know you.”
“You don’t know me now, but your employee is my sister, and you surely know her,” Ava retorted, determined not to back down..
Lucas glanced at Joseph’s nonchalant face and approached Ava. “If you have any inquiries, please contact the reception to make an appointment. Thank you for your understanding.”
Ava refused to relent. “I apologize, but I’m talking to Mr. Joseph, not you.”
Lucas was at a loss for words, concerned about Ava’s intelligence.
“Mr. Joseph, my sister has been working in your company for a considerable period and hasn’t been home in quite some time. Moreover, I’ve discovered certain issues in her personal life, which have deeply worried our parents. Could you kindly advise her and help her make better choices? Would that be possible?”
Arching an eyebrow, Joseph inquired in a drawn-out tone, “Issues in her personal life?”
