Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love

Chapter 65 We’re Just Friends

Joseph grabbed the tissue and vigorously wiped his face. Annoyingly, Chloe’s lipstick would not come off no matter how hard he tried to rub it off.

It was Lucas who came up with a smart solution. He ran out to buy a bottle of makeup remover, which finally did the trick.

As a result, Joseph had a dark expression on his face throughout the meeting with the high-level executives. His imposing aura made him look like a demon from the depths of hell, and everyone was so intimidated that they barely said a word.

After the meeting ended, Joseph asked Jack to stay behind.

Ten minutes later, Jack walked out of the meeting room, completely puzzled as to why he had been transferred to a different position for no apparent reason…

In the afternoon, Chloe’s superior seemed to be in a foul mood and was snapping at everyone. Her colleagues avoided him like the plague, afraid of getting caught in the

crossfire.

“What’s wrong with him?” Chloe asked the secretary as she went to the pantry to get

some water.

The secretary shrugged and lowered her voice, “Mr. Jack from Fairlight was transferred today.”

Chloe was taken aback. “Does that mean our bid is doomed?”

“That’s right.”

“Could it be that Fairlight got wind of something?” Chloe wondered aloud.

Her superior had asked her to talk to Jack before this, so he must have known what they were after, and Jack was probably aware of their intentions as well.

The secretary remained silent for a few seconds then said, “It’s possible.”

Chloe tightened her grip on her glass, not knowing whether to be happy or worried.

Near the end of the workday, Harry came to see her.
