The Ex and Her Riches

Chapter 740

Charles sensed it and turned around to shoot Isaac a death stare.

Isaac suppressed his smile instantly. “I suddenly recalled a funny clip I saw on my phone just now, so I accidentally let out a chuckle.”

Arching an eyebrow, Charles looked at Isaac sarcastically and said, “What clip? Show it to me.”

Isaac was startled. How am I supposed to respond to that?

“It was a video that showed up randomly. I didn’t like it or save it, so I don’t think I can find it again, Mr. Newton…”

“Well, tell me the story, then,” Charles uttered casually.

“Umm…” Isaac’s expression turned bitter, and he whispered, “Mr. Newton, I—”

“If you can’t recall the story, I’ll deduct your salary. Fair enough, right?”

That’s far from fair! Isaac racked his brain and decided to tell Charles a lame joke he heard before.

“Okay… It was a clip showing a pair of banana brothers walking on the street. The older banana had longer legs, so he was walking in front. As he walked, he felt hot, so he decided to peel off his skin. Mr. Newton, you won’t believe what happens next…”

While stifling a laugh, Isaac told the joke in the most animated way he could. “The younger brother stepped on the peel and fell! Haha! The sound effect was hilarious!”

With one hand on the elevator wall for support, Isaac held his tummy with the other and laughed out loud. “How’s that? Isn’t that joke funny?”

Charles stared at Isaac expressionlessly. The former’s gaze was so icy that it could freeze someone in sight.

Seeing that, Isaac immediately composed himself and bowed respectfully with a straight face. “Okay. I got it. It was lame.”

Charles felt satisfied when he saw how disappointed Isaac looked. With a slightly eased-up expression, Charles advised, “It wasn’t funny at all. You should stop wasting your time on such meaningless content.”

“Yes. I’ll never do that again.”

As they chatted, the lift arrived on the fifteenth floor.
