Jojo and Coco’s Unexpected Love by Aurora Summers

Chapter 37 Goodnight

A little taken aback, Chloe asked, “You saw everything?”

However, Joseph answered in a non-committal tone, “What did I see?”

“The person I met at the cafe…”

‘That sc*mbag is your nephew!’

Joseph was silent for a while and said, “Nope. I didn’t see anything.”

He had only seen her standing on the street looking lost and dejected.

Chloe stared into Joseph’s eyes and realized that he was not lying. He really had not seen Jake or Ava, leaving her slightly disappointed.

Joseph thought she did not want to talk about the subject so he did not press any further. The journey home was silent. After Chloe wished him good night, she went to her room to sleep.

As Joseph watched her disappear up the stairs with a pensive expression on her face, he murmured, “Good night…”

Chloe, still seething in anger, did not notice what Joseph said and went straight into her room.

Upon coming downstairs the next day, a look of surprise spread across Joseph’s face when he saw a lunchbox out on the table. Chloe then emerged from the kitchen, her clean and pure face shining brightly in the morning sunlight.

“I made you breakfast. They’re some sandwiches and salad. You can have them while. working,” she said.

Joseph had a habit of eating breakfast, and he much preferred to have the healthy food that Chloe made at home rather than buying from some cafe. It was not particularly delicious, but it was nutritious.

He grunted in acknowledgment, picked up the lunchbox, and headed out the door. It was half

past nine in the morning, and he was stuck in traffic for almost half an hour before he finally arrived at the office.

Joseph headed straight to the meeting room. The board of directors seated in the room looked at the pink lunchbox he placed on the table and exchanged confused looks. They all had the same question in their minds.

‘Did Mr. Joseph choose that cute lunchbox himself? Could his loving wife have prepared it for him?’

As Lucas entered the room with a pile of documents, he sensed the unusual atmosphere and followed everyone’s gaze to the lunchbox placed in front of Joseph. He quickly realized the situation and walked over to pick it up, placing it on the windowsill.

Who could be so foolish as to place their wife’s lunchbox in front of Joseph and cause everyone to mistakenly assume that he had a girlfriend? It was widely known that Joseph was a pristine golden bachelor!

Joseph looked up at Lucas, then his gaze shifted to the lunchbox on the windowsill. It was a suitable spot to place it since it would not obstruct the view of those in the back.

row.

Understanding dawned upon the board of directors as they realized that the lunchbox did not belong to Joseph, but to his assistant. When the meeting ended, Joseph was the last to leave. But before leaving, he did not forget to pick up the lunchbox that had been put aside.

Lucas witnessed this and his jaw dropped as if it had been dislocated. “M-Mr. Joseph, did you bring this?”

Joseph raised an eyebrow. “Yeah. What about it?”

After finishing her breakfast, Chloe began to focus on her own affairs. She had scheduled an interview for a translator position. Although this company was not her first choice, she did not have any other options at the moment. Fortunately, it was a

position at a large company.

Upon reviewing her resume, the interviewer took off her glasses and exclaimed, ” You’re so young, and you’ve already passed the C2 exam?!”

“Yes,” Chloe responded with a smile.

“That’s a shame.”

“Why is that?”

“As you know, we’re a large corporation and positions here are limited. We’ve already filled all the translator positions.”

“Why did you call me for an interview?” Chloe furrowed her brows, unable to

understand.

Was this just a ploy for this person to boost her performance?

“Please don’t be quick to judge. Although all the translator positions have been filled, we have other openings that you might be interested in. Would you be willing to consider joining our sales team? The starting salary is 2,000 dollars and there’s an 18% commission fee. Some of our top-performing employees in the sales department are making up to 8,000 dollars per month.”

Chloe smiled sardonically and picked up her resume before walking out. “Thank you, but no thank you.”

She was wrong. This woman was not just trying to boost her performance. She was also misleading applicants with false promises.

As Chloe left the company, she ran into Icarus. He was dressed in a formal suit and looked quite dignified. Offering him a polite smile, she greeted him, “Hey, what a coincidence seeing you here.”

“It certainly is. It seems we’re fated,” Icarus replied as he glanced at the skyscraper behind her. “Do you work here?”
