Jojo and Coco’s Unexpected Love by Aurora Summers

Chapter 64 She Kissed Him

Chloe was not lying. Even with light makeup, it was apparent that her complexion was not too great.

“Let’s go,” said Joseph calmly.

Chloe was surprised that he agreed so readily. It seemed to her that he had become at little friendlier to her since the day she dropped her towel in an attempt to seduce him.

She got into the car’s passenger seat. She pulled out her phone and opened the navigation app to input the destination Baxon.

“No need for GPS. I know the way,” Joseph said.

“Oh, okay.”

Baxon was a financial company. Since Joseph worked in the financial industry, it was normal for him to know about their location.

After driving for a while, Chloe’s boss called her on the phone. She did not put the call on speaker, but the two were close enough for Joseph to hear their conversation.

“Chloe, have you considered the proposal I mentioned about discussing bidding resources with the executive from Fairlight?” he asked.

Joseph glanced at her as she answered.

Chloe did not notice his gaze and replied seriously, “I’m sorry. I don’t think I’m capable of handling this task. You should find someone else. Negotiating resources is not my strong suit.”

She had been contemplating this matter. If she could seal the deal, she would receive a bonus, but if she failed, she did not know what consequences she would face. In short, the risks outweighed the benefits. She did not want to stand out or take the risk.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment before her superior spoke again. “Fine. If you don’t want to go, I won’t force you. How about this instead? You’ve been with the company for a while now, so recommend someone with similar capabilities as you and I’ll send her instead.”

Chloe was at a loss for what to do. It seemed that her superior wanted to play hardball since the softer approach did not work. After hanging up the phone, a bewildered expression appeared on her face.

“What’s the name of the executive your superior mentioned?” Joseph asked.

“I have no idea. I just know that his name is Jack.”

‘Jack?’ Joseph let out a cold sneer.

There was only one Jack who was responsible for bidding at Fairlight, and that was Jack

Reed.

Chloe did not know why Joseph was asking her this and asked, “Do you know him?”

Joseph’s expression was inscrutable as he replied in his magnetic voice, “Do you want me to help you?”

“Nope. I was just asking why you’re asking me.”

After a momentary pause, she tried to please him again and said, “Of course, it’d be great if you’re willing to help me, Jojo.”

She had heard from Jake that his uncle had a relatively sizable business overseas.

Joseph and Jack were both in the financial circle, so maybe they knew each other.

Joseph sneered. He was not crazy enough to help her steal resources from his own company and give them to someone else. During the journey, he did not speak, and Chloe did not dare to continue asking. In the adult world, not agreeing was the same as refusing.

The car stopped across from Baxon. Chloe got out of the car and grabbed her bag. Joseph stopped her and said, “I can ask Fairlight about it for you.”

“You’re the best, Jojo!” Chloe’s eyes sparkled, and in her excitement, she planted a kiss on his cheek. The moment her lips touched his skin, she froze in shock.

‘Oh my god, what have I done?!!

Unable to meet his gaze, Chloe hastily fled the scene.

As Joseph watched her back recede, his black pupils flickered with indiscernible emotions. Unknown to him, a bright red lip print was left on his handsome face.

Joseph had a private elevator that led to his office on a floor shared only with Lucas’s office.

From a distance, Lucas spotted the red lip print on Joseph’s face, and his jaw nearly dropped in surprise.

“Mr… Mr… Mr. Joseph, your face…” he stuttered.

Puzzled, Joseph asked, “Hm?”

“Your face is…” Lucas hesitated, struggling to find the right words before he decided to hand Joseph a mirror.

When Joseph saw his reflection in the mirror, his forehead twitched with anger. Lucas shrank back, sensing the danger in Joseph’s piercing gaze.

Meanwhile, in a distant location, Chloe suddenly sneezed and grabbed a warm cup of water before taking a dose of cold medicine.

Trembling, Lucas offered a tissue to Joseph. “Mr. Joseph, here’s a tissue…
