Chapter 207 The Sweet Affection Between Jojo and Me

Maurice’s mind froze as he suddenly realized the truth. Forgetting his pain, his face transformed into an

expression of sheer astonishment as he gazed at Joseph, then turned his disbelieving eyes toward

Chloe.

These two individuals did not share a mere superior- subordinate relationship. That foolish Ellie had

unknowingly entangled him in this mess. It became clear why stealing data from Fairlight had never

posed a problem in the past. Joseph had personally intervened this time because of his connection

to Chloe.

Maurice was consumed by despair as his life plunged into darkness. With Joseph’s involvement, the

despicable and vile actions of Baxon were exposed to the financial world, spreading like wildfire.

Numerous companies swiftly

terminated their contracts with Baxon, causing their stock market value to plummet, pushing them

dangerously close to the brink of bankruptcy.

Ellie, likely aware of the unfolding events, was absent from work for several days. In the midst of this,

Chloe received a call from Ms. Wendy inquiring about the situation. Chloe provided a thorough

explanation, but all Ms. Wendy responded with was silence. It was evident that Ms. Wendy, who had

played a significant role in Ellie’s career development, was deeply disappointed in Ellie’s actions.

One day, while Chloe was heading downstairs to join her colleagues for lunch, she noticed Xavia

standing at the entrance of the Fairlight’s building. Holding a handbag

tightly, Xavia’s eyes eagerly scanned the surroundings,

searching for someone in the distance. Chloe could not help but inwardly roll her eyes, realizing that

Xavia was likely

waiting for Joseph.

The allure of first love remained strong. Regardless of Joseph’s explanations, a first love’s hold on his

heart seemed

unshakeable. Just a few days had passed, and here they were, meeting again.

Chloe, full of disdain for Joseph’s efforts, locked eyes with Xavia, who took the initiative to greet her.

“Ms. Chloe.”

Chloe’s eyebrows twitched, signaling her colleagues to go ahead and have lunch without her.

“Ms. Chloe, I personally made these snacks for Toto. Also, I wanted to thank both of you for your help

the other day. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have known who to turn to.”

“The person you should thank is Joseph. It has nothing to do with me.

A strange expression flickered in Xavia’s eyes. “Aren’t you and Joe already married? Why is there a

hint of unfamiliarity in your words?”

With her reminder, Chloe straightened her back and finally assumed her role. “I’m accustomed to

calling him by his given name in our daily life. It feels more personal. Joseph was the one who helped

you that day, and I didn’t do much.”

“Okay. By the way, how long have you two been married?”

“About half a year.”

“How long have you known each other?”

Chloe paused briefly before responding, “You seem pretty interested in our relationship.” She narrowed

her almond- shaped eyes, her smile carrying a deeper meaning.

Xavia did not shy away from the topic. “Joe can be a cold person at heart. Very few can truly warm him

up. Our relationship had its share of ups and downs in the beginning, so I couldn’t help but be curious.”

As she spoke, Xavia’s expression remained sincere and open, making it difficult to discern any hidden

motives.

Chloe fell silent for a moment, delicately tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, revealing her small and

pristine ear. She pondered her words carefully before responding, “Is your relationship with Jojo

complicated? We didn’t experience that. In short, I’d describe our connection as love at first sight, with

everything falling into place naturally. Our love is deep and genuine, filled with mutual care and

affection. Originally, I wasn’t working at Fairlight, but Jojo insisted on me being here with him every day.

He’s always so attentive, and sometimes I even find myself tired of his constant affection.”

A subtle twitch appeared at the corner of Xavia’s eye, and the smile on her face faded slightly. “Really?

You two seem to have such a loving relationship.”

“Yes, but I can’t help but envy you. You’ve never had to deal with Jojo’s constant pestering like I have.

While I’m immersed in work, I also find myself immersed in my love for him on the side.”

“Not bad. It seems like you have a fulfilling life,” Xavia commented, handing over a handwritten paper,

interrupting

their conversation. “This contains all of Joe’s dietary restrictions and preferences. It’s for you.”

Chloe glanced briefly at the contents but did not reach out to take the paper. “You have neat

handwriting, but Jojo eats whatever I cook. So, this note isn’t necessary. Thank you, though.”
