Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love

Chapter 186 The Elusive Opportunity

Ellie was visibly prepared as she forcefully pushed Chloe aside. “I told you to thoroughly inspect everything before coming here. Why didn’t you listen?”

Chloe was bewildered. “I did inspect it…” Although she had carefully checked the contents of the plan, there was clearly something stuck to the file with glue, which naturally should have been noticed.

‘Wait a minute…‘ Chloe suddenly noticed something and took another look at the folder. It was not a paperclip, but a sharp- ended safety pin!

Ellie’s expression turned flustered and concerned. “Mr.

Joseph, this is due to her carelessness. I have a first aid kit in my office. Let me fetch it and help you bandage the wound.”

Joseph nonchalantly wiped the blood off his finger with a tissue as if it was a minor inconvenience and turned his gaze to Chloe. “Did it prick you?”

“No, I recall when Ms. Wendy handed me the folder, it didn’t have this item on it, and I hadn’t used any safety pins. However, it’s still my mistake, and I’m sorry.”

“When you make a mistake, you should acknowledge it immediately instead of trying to make excuses and shift the blame!” Ellie scolded Chloe.

After speaking, a trace of undisguised satisfaction appeared on Ellie’s face. She relished the thought of reporting this incident to Ms. Wendy upon her return and getting Chloe fired. The marketing department would then be hers to rule.

However, Joseph remained expressionless as he stared at Ellie. “And who are you?”

Ellie saw this as her chance to make a favorable impression. She approached him, attempting to win his favor. “Mr. Joseph, I’m the team lead of Marketing. In lieu of Ms. Wendy’s absence, as she’s about to go on maternity leave, I’m in charge and will be handling department responsibilities.”
