Chapter 155 Chloe and Mr. Joseph Are Fighting

Chloe stood there, her mouth agape, as she watched the man in front of the computer fully immerse

himself in his work.

With a whirlwind of emotions swirling inside her, she picked up the scattered documents from

the floor and slammed the door shut as she left.

In the marketing department, there were only a few people remaining, including Wendy. However, she

was already packing up. She glanced at the Estrenian documents in Chloe’s hands, and a perplexed

expression appeared on her face.

“Do you need to translate these?” she asked.

“Yes, Ms. Wendy,” Chloe replied.

“But isn’t that Translations’ job? Who assigned you this task?” Wendy questioned.

Chloe clenched her teeth and forced a smile on her face. “Apart from Mr. Joseph, who else has the

authority to do so?”

Still perplexed, Wendy asked, “Doesn’t Mr. Joseph know that you belong to Marketing? It must have

been a misunderstanding. Just explain it to him.”

“He knows.” Chloe sighed, not wanting to delve further into the matter. “Ms. Wendy, no need to worry

about me. I’ll handle the translations. Perhaps the translation department is too busy, so he asked me

for help.”

“I see… Well, when the end of the month comes, I’ll talk to Finance and make sure your overtime pay

is included,” Wendy assured her.

As a fellow coworker, she could not let Chloe’s hard work go unrewarded.

“All right. Thank you, Ms. Wendy,” Chloe replied gratefully.

As night descended, the sky opened up, and rain cascaded down outside. The rhythmic pitter- patter of

raindrops against the window created a tranquil atmosphere within the office.

Chloe focused her energy on translating line by line, her gaze fixed on the pages for an extended

period, causing her eyes to grow weary and strained. She pinched her brow and once again raised her

head, only to find that darkness had completely enveloped the outside world.

In the office, only one colleague remained.

Jason Brown looked at Chloe and asked, “Are you almost done?”

“Not yet. I still have a long way to go. Do you have a lot of work on your hands?” Chloe replied.

“Not really. Did you upset Mr. Joseph? It doesn’t seem appropriate for you to be working on Estrenian

documents,” he remarked.

Given their limited interactions, Chloe smiled at Jason and simply gave an excuse without delving into

further details.

Jason pondered for a moment and said, “All right, I need to use the little boys’ room.”

He entered the restroom and carefully surveyed his surroundings to ensure no one was present. Then,

he dialed a number on his phone and called Jane.

“Ms. Jane, it seems like Chloe had a fight with Mr. Joseph. It’s late, and she’s still working overtime at

the office,” he reported.

Jane sat up straight, excitement evident in her voice as she said, “Find a way to bring her out of

Fairlight.”

“It might be a bit difficult…” Jason hesitated.

“You useless fool! When I gave you money to keep an eye on Chloe, I didn’t mean just to talk to her.

You can either get things done or return the money. It’s up to you,” Jane scolded.

“I’ll try, Ms. Jane…”

When Jason returned to the office, he stopped in front of Chloe and glanced at his watch. He

exclaimed in surprise, “Oh my gosh, It’s already past nine. I completely forgot about dinner. Are you

hungry, Chloe? Let’s go downstairs and grab a bite together.”

Chloe gently touched her empty stomach and felt a pang of hunger upon hearing Jason’s suggestion.

After a brief hesitation, she responded, “Let’s order takeout instead. It’s raining heavily outside. It’s not

a good idea to head outside.”

The main reason behind her decision was to avoid the possibility of angering Joseph if he saw her

going out to eat with a male colleague.

Jason contemplated for a moment and agreed to her suggestion. xo.com fast update

As they placed their order, Chloe decided to order an extra portion, intending to bring it up to Joseph

later. The estimated delivery time for the takeout was around forty minutes.

When it was about five minutes away from being delivered, Jason placed his phone on Chloe’s desk

and said, “My stomach’s a bit upset. Can you keep an eye on my phone for me? If the delivery person

calls, please answer and let them know I’m in the restroom.”

Unaware of any ulterior motive, Chloe nodded and continued her work. As expected, five minutes later,

Jason’s phone rang. She glanced in the direction he had left and picked up the phone, pressing the

answer button.

“Hello, your takeout has arrived. I’m downstairs. Please come and collect it,” said the voice on the other

end.

“Okay, just a moment,” Chloe replied.

She descended to the lobby, but the delivery guy was not there. At that moment, Jason’s phone rang

once again

“Hey, sorry, I went to the wrong building. Can you come out and pick it up? I’m going to be late for my

next delivery Sorry to trouble you,” the voice pleade
