Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 258

Chapter 258 Come Up With Something More Innovative 

“We shall end today’s meeting here. The proposal was rejected, and I expect you to come up with something more innovative,” Joseph announced firmly. With that, he rose from his seat and made his way back to his office, instructing Lucas to prepare a cup of coffee. However, he had a sudden change of heart and amended his request. 

“Actually, make it tea instead,” he corrected himself. 

Lucas discreetly stole a glance at Joseph, observing that his composed and icy demeanor remained largely unchanged. Nevertheless, there was a slight reduction in the intensity of anger in his eyes, suggesting that Joseph might have been in contact with Chloe. 

Lucas could hardly contain his excitement, feeling a surge of joy that made him want to burst out shouting that his good days were coming. 

As the evening progressed and the clock approached eight o’clock, Joseph grew increasingly puzzled by Chloe’s absence. Furrowing his brow, he decided to call her in search of answers. However, after a few rings, the call was disconnected. 

Joseph’s handsome face darkened with a shadow of gloom, his brow creasing tightly. The frown was so deep that it could crush a fly. He slammed down his phone onto the genuine leather sofa with a resounding “thud.” 

“Foolish woman. Since she has missed this opportunity, she’ll have to face the consequences herself.” 

After stepping out of the shower, Chloe turned on the television and began eating her takeout meal while watching whatever was playing. Later, as she prepared to go to bed, she picked up her phone and glanced at it, catching sight of a familiar number. 

Her heart skipped a beat. Joseph had called her. She had left her phone in the room as she went to take a shower, causing her to miss the call. However, he had only made one call, so she concluded that it might have been an accident. 

If there was something important, he would continue calling. 

Despite the circumstances, Chloe made the decision to respond to him nonetheless. There was still a possibility that Harold might visit their house and uncover the truth, which could 

potentially lead to a favorable outcome for them. 

She dialed back, but all she received was a cold, mechanical voice on the other end. 

“Hello, the number you have dialed is currently switched off.” 

Chloe’s 

gaze dimmed with disappointment. She put her phone aside and decided to go to turn in early. When asleep, she would not have to think about anything. 

The following evening, Icarus arrived at the hotel as planned to pick up Chloe. She handed him the brand-new suit, saying, “Happy birthday! I’m not sure if it’s your taste though.” 

“I’m sure it’ll be just fine. I trust your taste,” Icarus replied. He took off his own jacket and put on the suit Chloe had bought for him. The well-crafted linen suit fit him impeccably, accentuating his tall and refined stature. 

“Look, it’s fantastic!” He smiled warmly, his tone sincere. “Thank you for the gift, Chloe. I really love it.”
