Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love

Chapter 311

Chapter 311 Chloe Refused to Deliver the Meals

Having learned her lesson, she turned around and muttered under her breath as she exited the office, “We’ll see if I dare.”

Perhaps merely a product of her imagination, Chloe had a lingering sense of being followed as she made her way home. It was not until she reached the safety of her house that the feeling of being trailed faded away, leaving her to question if her worries had been excessive.

The next day, Exotic Star’s private car came to pick her up. Chloe brought her laptop, intending to work during the journey. Noah informed her that if everything went smoothly, they could wrap up the shoot in three days.

As a newcomer in the industry, Chloe initially took some time to adapt and understand the requirements. However, her quick wit and adaptability allowed her to grasp the demands swiftly, fully immersing herself in the shooting process.

Two days passed, and despite a few minor obstacles, overall progress was satisfactory. With just one more day to go, they would successfully conclude the project.

After completing her evening work and returning to the hotel, Chloe called Emily to express her amazement at how effortlessly one could earn money as a celebrity. In a mere three days, she had earned 30 million dollars, while the Johnsons struggled to earn a fraction of that.

After chatting with Emily on the phone, Chloe began the process of removing her makeup. Suddenly, Lucas called.

“Ms. Chloe, are you busy right now?” he asked.

“Not particularly. What’s the matter?” she replied.

There were some trivial matters in the company that needed to be addressed. Of course, if there were urgent matters, the work could be put aside temporarily.

“In that case, can you come and cook a meal for Mr. Joseph? His stomach is acting up.”

“If his stomach is acting up, he should go see a doctor,” Chloe said.

Lucas stuttered, knowing very well the reasoning behind her words. The problem was that he refused to go to see a doctor. He thought that if Chloe could come and cook a meal, she could also persuade him to go to the hospital for a check-up. It had been several years since Joseph last had a medical examination.

These days, aside from when Chloe was present, Joseph barely ate on time. During other times, he managed with whatever was available. He was currently in his office participating in a video conference.

“If it’s about food, I can’t help. But if there are other important matters, like going back to see Grandpa I can assist him. Just remember to schedule the time in advance,” Chloe said. After all, it would take some time for her to travel from Docwood back to her hometown.

Lucas looked at the disconnected call, feeling utterly helpless.

At that moment, Joseph emerged from his office, hunched over and clutching his stomach, his brows furrowed in pain. “Go downstairs and buy me a bottle of painkillers,” he ordered.

Lucas was taken aback. “Did you finish the one you bought before?”

His frown deepened. “It’s expired.”

Lucas promptly agreed and hurried toward the elevator, his steps quick and determined. The screen of the mobile phone in his hand lit up, displaying the call history with Chloe.

Joseph’s voice turned cold as he asked, “What’s going on?”

Lucas scratched his head and honestly replied, “I noticed that your appetite hasn’t been great lately, so I thought of contacting Ms. Chloe to see if she has time to cook a few meals for you.”

Joseph always finished every meal that Chloe prepared for him, and Lucas noticed it.

Joseph raised his eyebrows. His tone remained icy though his anger had abated. “From now on, you are not allowed to contact her without my permission.” All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

“Yes, sir.”

After saying that, Lucas hurriedly went downstairs to buy medicine. Just as he was about to enter the elevator, Joseph called him back. “Wait.”

“Yes?”

“Did Chloe mention what time she would deliver the meals?”

Lucas hesitated for a moment and then awkwardly responded, “Sir, Ms. Chloe didn’t agree to my request…’

Joseph’s expression instantly darkened. He was not sure if it was anger or if his stomach spasms had worsened.

The final day of shooting stretched until nine at night. Since it was a bit late, Noah suggested returning to Aesper the next day. However, Chloe politely declined, “I have a lot of things to take care of at the office and I can’t afford to delay them.”

She needed to keep a close eye on the collaboration with the Grahams. Although she was the boss of her company, she had yet to cultivate employees she could truly trust. In the past, any employee who

had a good relationship with her would find themselves targeted by Ava, resulting in the current situation.

Noah seemed to have a fondness for incorporating traditional Asvand elements into his attire. On this particular day, he was donning a beige round-collar suit, which accentuated his youthful face that glowed brilliantly in the twilight. Every strand of his hair could be distinctly seen, adding to his overall charismatic appearance.

“Are you busy at Fairlight? Exotic Star and Fairlight have jointly invested in a resort. I’ll be going to Fairlight in a few days to discuss the specific details with Mr. Joseph. We’ll have the chance to meet again then.”

The proposal to invest in the resort had come from Desmond. He took notice of Fairlight’s rapid development in recent years and believed that partnering with a strong ally would reduce many risks.

Chloe smiled faintly and calmly replied, “I no longer work at Fairlight, but if you wish to contact me, I’m available anytime.”

“Huh? Why?”

“We broke up.”
