Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love

“We’ve been working on this project for a whole year, and you ruined it at the last moment. Your irresponsible behavior has caused the company significant losses!”

“It’s not my fault! If you don’t believe me, you can check the surveillance cameras in the building.”
