Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 98

Chapter 98 Deciding to Resign 

At first, David denied everything, claiming that he was only looking for some information. However, after he was pressured by their superior, he eventually confessed. 

He was envious of Chloe’s promotion to team leader shortly after joining the company and had made a rash decision. 

Their superior was furious and scolded, “We need to cooperate with clients from Estre all year round, and with her top-notch Estrenian language skills and experience in leading a team, Chloe is more qualified and capable than you. There’s no point in competing with her!” 

David was resentful, but there was nothing he could do. The evidence was clear, and the truth was out. 

Since David had been working at Baxon for five years, their superior just fired him. He left Baxon with his belongings in hand, his head hanging low and defeated. 

Chloe had proven her innocence, and her colleagues quickly gathered around her, showering her with compliments. She responded to them with a fake smile on her face. She had not forgotten the things they had said this morning. 

All of them were fair-weathered. They were fickle and only cared about themselves. Joseph was right. The work culture at Baxon was not great-full of scheming and backstabbing. 

Chloe sat at her desk, and after a short contemplation, she decided to express her gratitude once again to the Patterson project manager. If it were not for his 

intervention, there was a good chance that her superior would not have approved the request to access the surveillance footage. 

The project manager responded with a text, saying that Chloe did not need to thank him and that she should thank Alexander instead. Chloe was confused, but before she could ask why, the project manager retracted his message. 

[Don’t mention it, Ms. Chloe. It was just a small favor. I’m really grateful that you were so kind and didn’t blame me for my presumptuous behavior.] 

As Chloe read the new message, the look of confusion on her face gradually faded. He must have sent the previous message to the wrong person. 

She replied politely and ended the conversation. 

Everything should have gone back to normal, but when Chloe went to the restroom in the afternoon, she overheard two women from her department chatting and laughing as they entered the restroom. 

“The new team leader is pretty impressive. She managed to deal with that fellow at Patterson. Maybe she sold her body to get ahead,” one of the women snickered. 

“Who knows? But she is young and beautiful. It wouldn’t be hard for her to seduce a man,” the other responded. 

They then looked at each other and let out a laugh together. 

Chloe’s expression darkened as she pushed the door to her cubicle open, startling the two women. They then greeted her awkwardly, “H-Hi, Ms. Chloe.” 

Meanwhile, Chloe bent down at one of the sinks, washing her hands as her beautiful face with fair skin and delicate features was reflected in the mirror. Her downcast lashes shielded her emotions from view. She scrubbed her hands vigorously and did not stop even after they turned red. 

Not hearing any response, the two female colleagues pursed their lips and left. At the same time, Chloe made a decision. If her superior wanted to dismiss her, then so be it. 

The atmosphere at Baxon was toxic and she could feel the stress and negativity weighing down on her. Even though she had already cleared her name, some people still believed the lies that had been spread about her. 

She decided to find a new job, but not at the moment. She was well aware of her financial capability and knew that she needed to take her time and explore all options. before making a move. It was time to be patient and search for better opportunities while keeping her current position as a backup plan. 

As Chloe emerged from the restroom, she bumped into her superior. He repeated his offer for her to take a few paid days off to make amends for the recent turmoil. 

This time, Chloe did not refuse. 

She had not heard back from Joseph and wanted to personally check on Toto to make sure it had arrived home safely. However, her already low spirits were dampened further when she discovered she had started her period upon returning to the villa, and 

Toto was still nowhere to be found. 

Feeling down, she curled up on the sofa and did not want to move.
