Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love

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.”

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