Chapter 284 Learning How to Pursue Men From Coco
“Of course, it’s not that simple. Joseph is hard to deal with.”
“I thought it wasn’t a loss for you even if Joseph isn’t Jake’s uncle since he ticks a lot of boxes. I finally understand your pain.”
Chloe drank some water to quench her thirst. “Yeah, I would’ve been frank with him and gotten a divorce back then if I hadn’t signed a labor contract with him.”
Back in those days, she felt as if she had chosen a road to ruin and could not see the end of it. And that bastard tortured her every day. Now, the hard times were over and happiness ensued.
After the meal, they settled the bill and exited the cafe.
Joseph then called Chloe. She snorted and picked up her phone, muttering unhappily, “Finally thought of me?”
Joseph was silent for a moment before he said hoarsely, “I was busy last night. Where are you now?”
Chloe assumed that he was busy with work. “I’m at Docwood and just finished my audition. not long ago. I even had lunch with Emily.”
“Send me the address.”
“Are you coming here?”
“Mm-hmm.”
“Okay, I’ll text you the address.”
After Chloe ended the call, Emily asked, “Is Joseph coming to pick you up?”
Chloe nodded. “Yeah.”
“Come to a social gathering with me then. After all, it’ll take him roughly two hours to get here from Graceville Estate. You’ll be bored all alone. Also, I’m afraid I won’t be able to close the deal with this client of mine today.”
“Sure. If we knew this was going to happen, we didn’t have to come for lunch.”
They had to keep on eating even though they were full now.
Emily winked at Chloe while teasing her. “I didn’t expect your man to be so considerate. He’s coming from so far away just to pick you up.”
A sense of sweetness engulfed Chloe. She decided not to argue with him over what happened. the night before since he was coming to pick her up.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Chloe sent her location to Joseph and asked him to call
1/2
when he arrived.
Unexpectedly, Emily’s client enjoyed drinking and insisted on them drinking together before signing the contract. Left with not much choice, Chloe and Emily took turns drinking with the client, and as a result, drank a lot and became tipsy.
At last, the contract was signed.
At three o’clock in the afternoon, Lucas arrived at the destination. “Mr. Joseph, we’re here. This is the location that Ms. Chloe sent.”
Joseph’s handsome but cold face was reflected in the rear-view mirror. He pinched the spot between his brows before he called Chloe. However, no one answered his call. Luckily, she had told him the number of the private room too when she texted him the location, so he simply let himself in.
The private room was filled with the smell of wine. Chloe and Emily both had their heads on the table, the former’s face was red with her lips slightly ajar. She was sleeping soundly, looking quite charming.
Emily was holding onto her phone and rambling endlessly. She was half unconscious.
Lucas gaped in shock. “Why are they so drunk in broad daylight…”
