Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love

Chapter 153 Phone Call

“Sir…” Lucas keenly sensed Joseph’s anger, and it was particularly intense. The hairs on his arms stood on end. “I’ve been waiting right outside the restaurant. I haven’t moved an inch.”

“Who told you to wait outside? What are you supposed to see by waiting there?”

Lucas was tongue-tied.

“Should I go in now?” he asked.

“Don’t let her stay inside for too long,” Joseph commanded.
