Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 524

Joseph fell into a dilemma. "We don't have any evidence to prove this."

He had been dating Xavia for so many years, so he was fully aware of her social and friend circles. Previously, he had his underlings investigate her, but there was nothing suspicious about her except those humiliating love affairs she had during her younger days.

"A woman's instinct is sometimes more accurate than proof." Chloe flared up in a rage. She felt that Joseph was defending her, so she became stubborn. She had now forgotten why she had come here in the first place.

Knock, knock, knock.

Someone's knocking interrupted their argument.

"Come in."

Lucas entered the office. He glanced at Chloe before saying to Joseph in slight embarrassment, "Sir, was I interrupting something?"

"Just tell me what's wrong."

"Umm... I’d like to ask for the rest of the day off."

Joseph looked up and scrutinized Lucas with his slender eyes. "Didn't you just get back from a long vacation a few days ago? What do you plan to do now?"

Chloe pitied Lucas who had been working tirelessly for a few years. "Let him take a day off. I can help you if you're busy. He’s constantly working long hours, so why can't he ask for the occasional day off?"

"He's responsible for some projects. If there's a problem, he has to be here to solve it."

"Sir, I-I won't go far. I'll be in A-Aesper," Lucas stammered.

"Just answer my question."

Joseph felt the need to get to the bottom of it if Lucas was trying to hide it. Lucas' relatives and friends were not at Aesper, and his only social circle consisted of the employees of Fairlight.

"Emily wants me to pretend to be her boyfriend and go home with her to placate her parents."
