Chapter 116 A Slap to Chloe’s Face

Chloe let out a bitter smile. “Well, I knew Joseph was rich, but I didn’t expect him to be the CEO of

Fairlight.”

“Hmm, I understand how you feel.”

It was just as Lucas expected. It was like a massive pie falling from the sky, making one question the

reality of it all.

Of course, Chloe had no idea what was going through Lucas’ mind. She walked to the custodial

department and politely knocked on the door three times.

Soon, a middle-aged woman wearing a cleaner’s uniform opened the door, looking puzzled.” Do you

need something?”

“Madam, I’m the new staff.”

“It’s you.” The cleaner hesitated for a moment before letting her in. “I thought it would be an oldie

coming by, but turns out you’re a young girl. Strange…

“I made a mistake. My superior is angry with me, so he’s punishing me by making me work here for a

few days,” Chloe explained meekly as she changed into her work uniform. “Madam, which area am I

responsible for?”

Even though she was sent here as a punishment, she was still willing to work. The cleaner’s heart

softened and she said, “You don’t need to do anything. Just stay here.”

Chloe quickly waved her hand. “That won’t do. I came here to work. Please let me know which area I

should be responsible for.”

Recognizing Chloe’s commitment and realizing that she might face difficulties explaining her actions to

her superiors if she did not fulfill her duties, the cleaner walked over to a diagram. displaying the

division of work areas pasted to a wall.

Holding a pen, she said, “We have Donald taking care of the first-floor corridor, Susan is managing the

second-floor office area, and there’s someone assigned to the third-floor pantry… As for you, you can

go to the conference room on the thirtieth floor. No one’s in charge of that area.”

“Oh, okay.” Chloe nodded. Picking up a cloth and broom, she went on her way. She put on a mask and

took the elevator up to the thirtieth floor.

And her timing was impeccable.

Just as Chloe reached the conference room, the employees were just wrapping up their morning

meeting. She positioned herself at the entrance, waiting patiently as they exited the

room one by one. Her face remained hidden behind a mask, revealing only her radiant eyes that

sparkled with anticipation.

The cleaning process in the conference room went smoothly, bringing a sense of joy to her as it

required minimal effort to tidy up.

After completing her task, Chloe stepped out of the room. Two young and beautiful girls walked past

her.

“Did you hear? Mr. Joseph came in with a girl this morning.”

“Yeah, yeah. I heard! Could that girl be his girlfriend? Oh my goodness. Please don’t let it be true. I’ll be

devastated and in no mood for work.”

“I don’t know, but it’s highly possible.”

“For my birthday this year, I don’t want to be rich. I want to travel back in time and become that girl!”

As Chloe listened to the fading voices of the two girls, her mouth twitched in disbelief.

‘She wants to become me? For what? To be a janitor?”

As lunchtime approached, Chloe took off her uniform and headed to the convenience store near the

company to grab a bite. Sitting at the counter, she held a bowl of warm soup in her hands and took a

sip, feeling a comforting warmth spread through her body.

Across the street from the convenience store, Ava’s gaze was fixed on Chloe’s figure, a hint of jealousy

flashing through her eyes.

“Daddy, Coco’s over there. Let’s go over quickly,” she urged.

After searching for two days, they had finally found her.

Ava had comprehended why Adam treated Chloe with such courtesy. It was likely due to his father’s

influence. What was more, Adam even regarded Chloe as his older sister, as young men like him were

susceptible to deception.

Benjamin’s face darkened. Without uttering a word, he strode purposefully toward Chloe. He entered

the convenience store and raised his hand, delivering a harsh slap to her face.

“You’ve sprouted your own wings now, have you?! How dare you put me on the blacklist!” he shouted,

his voice filled with anger.
