Seeing that Joseph made no move to leave, she smiled sarcastically. "Have you had your fill?"
A hint of desire flashed through his eyes as he turned away. "Change and come downstairs."
"For what?”
"Xavia’s downstairs."
Chloe raised an eyebrow, the teasing evident on her face. "Duly noted."
Today was Exotic Star's board meeting, and Desmond and Noah were still at the office. Chloe was unsure when they would get back. If she ran into them dressed like this, it would be an awkward encounter. Indeed, she should change.
During the wait, Joseph's mind filled with images of Chloe's alluring figure. He had never truly let go of her. The temptation was strong, and it left his typically cold and charming face looking somewhat absent-minded.
Xavia tried to speak to him several times but failed to elicit a response from him. Seeing him in such a bewitched state, she clenched her fists in anger. She should have come here alone to resolve things so as to avoid increasing the chances of Joseph and Chloe running into each other.
Chloe casually put on a bathrobe and lazily made her way downstairs. She sat languidly in a wide teakwood chair and said indifferently, "Let's get started."
Even though Xavia had countless objections, she had no choice but to lower her head. "My friend Megan accidentally hit you earlier, Ms. Chloe. I’d like to apologize on her behalf."
Upon hearing this, Joseph's brows furrowed deeply.
Chloe sneered. "Your friend? But what I saw was clearly your silhouette." As she spoke, she brought up the photos on her phone and compared them to Xavia's face, pretending to be puzzled. "Height, figure... Ah, even the shoes are the same."
Xavia turned pale and felt her legs shake. She held onto the edge of the table as if she were the victim. "The shoes were a gift from Megan. She has a pair herself. I came here sincerely to seek your forgiveness on Megan’s behalf. There's no need to assume the worst of everyone."
