Lucas tried his best to keep up with Joseph as the latter walked swiftly. When they were almost at the door, his phone rang.
He found that it was a call from Emily, so he stopped and said respectfully, "Sir, I have to answer a call. Tell me if there's anything I can do for you. I'll be at the door."
Joseph ignored Lucas and pushed open the door, fixing his gaze on Chloe.
She was sitting before the office desk, reading the datasheet seriously with a tight crease between her charming brows. With her pretty cheeks and small but tall nose bridge that formed a perfect arch, she was the perfect example of solemnity.
As he looked downward, he noticed her soft red lips and yearned to kiss her.
Joseph’s eyes turned hazy. She seemed to have become prettier though they had only been separated for a few hours. She was not heartless after all and had come to him of her own initiative.
Hearing the noise, Chloe looked up. "Are you done with your work?"
"Mm-hmm."
He was, in fact, not done. It was supposed to be a long day of meetings, and they would take up more than two hours, but he had ended them early.
Displeasure crept up her face. "Is that all you’re going to say?"
"Get things straight here. You're the liar, not me."
"Yes, I know." On her way there, she had figured out what she wanted to say. "I admit that the person who's suffering from irregular periods isn’t Em but me. I was too embarrassed to tell you about it."
Hearing this, Joseph put away his grudges. He immediately asked, "What about the doctor I hired for you? Didn't he go to you?"
"Yes, he did. I got some medicine at the hospital, so I can't add on too many other medications right now. I didn't let him check me either."
