Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 689

"Exotic Star's interviewers had no idea you've been to prison, do they?" Joseph placed the file in front of Frieda.

Frieda's expression changed, but she did not display panic. Instead, she looked calm and admitted, "Yes, I've been to prison."

Joseph squinted and cast a dark gaze upon her as he remained silent. Frieda maintained her composure, keeping her eyes lowered to conceal her emotions.

"Are you interested in finance?"

Frieda pondered for a few seconds before replying, "Yes."

"Lucas," Joseph called out.

"Yes, Mr. Joseph?”

"Arrange for Frieda to sit in the front row."

A little perplexed, Lucas assumed that Joseph was doing this out of consideration for Chloe. He then led Frieda to her designated seat.

Frieda gazed deeply at Joseph with hidden affection within her eyes. "Chloe isn’t with Noah yet,” she said before walking out, her words implying that he still had a chance.

Lucas quickly grasped the situation. This lady was indeed someone close to Chloe, and Joseph was looking for an opportunity to use her.

Joseph looked back at Frieda, their eyes locking for the second time. It was an intimate gaze unrelated to gender attraction. It felt as if they were familiar and close to each other for some reason.

An incredible thought surged through his mind, leaving him momentarily absent-minded. But on the surface, Joseph remained composed. He understood that all the concealment was necessary for the time being. All he could do now was cooperate and patiently wait for the next opportunity to meet alone.
