Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love

Chapter 289

Chapter 289 If I’m Heartless, How Did You Deceive Me?

Lucas displayed little surprise upon seeing Chloe as he had anticipated the hesitancy of the marketing department colleagues who had been tormented in recent days.

“Mr. Joseph is currently available. You may enter.”

“Thank you.”

Chloe raised her hand and lightly knocked on the door. A displeased voice responded from within. “Enter.”

She silently pushed the door open and placed the documents on Joseph’s desk. Her tone was respectful yet distant as she spoke, “Mr. Joseph, the documents have been processed. Please. review them.”

Joseph’s gaze remained fixed on his computer screen and his lips remained motionless, treating her as if she were mere air.

Undeterred, Chloe persisted, “Mr. Joseph, the documents have been processed.”

“Why the rush? Is my time not as valuable as yours?”

Chloe pressed her lips together, her frustration evident. “That’s why I’m waiting for you. Do let me know how much longer it will take.”

Joseph smirked slightly, his response dripping with sarcasm. “Almost done.”

And so, the so-called “almost done” dragged on for another two hours, leaving Chloe’s legs numb from standing. She knew the man was doing it on purpose. But choosing to avoid unnecessary complications, she refrained from urging him again.

Finally, Joseph’s gaze shifted away from the screen and landed on Chloe. She was dressed in a pale-yellow camisole paired with suspenders trousers, revealing her fair skin. Despite the divorce, she exuded youth and vitality, her beauty seemingly enhanced by the experience.

Joseph’s eyes gradually turned cold, his voice icy. “Rewrite it.”
