Chapter 221 I Don’t Want to Hold Back

Joseph enveloped Chloe in his arms and nestled his face near her neck. He then stated languidly,” I’ll

know after checking it out.”

“Hmm.” Chloe found his hug a bit too tight, so she struggled briefly. “Let go. I can’t breathe.”

“No. I won’t let you go unless you kiss me.”

Chloe grasped his handsome face, with both hands and gave him a peck on the lips before tilting her

head and questioning exasperatingly, “Can you let go of me now?”

Enjoying the moistness on his lips, Joseph’s gaze darkened before he bent down and put his lips

against hers again, kissing her deeply.

After a while, Chloe pushed Joseph away, looking flushed. “Okay, that’s enough. We shouldn’t do such

things in the office.”

Joseph’s sharp, bewitching eyes lit up happily and passionately. “Okay, we’ll continue when we get

home tonight.”

Chloe knew what he meant, and her blush deepened. She stared at him bashfully. “We just started -

dating. You don’t have to be in a rush to…”

“We’re dating now, and you expect me to still hold back?”

“Hmph! It’s because you’ve turned me down time and time again.”

“Yes, but I’m giving you a chance now, so you should cherish it. You’d better put on that sexy negligee

you wore the other day.”

Chloe felt so embarrassed that she wanted the ground to open up and swallow her. She put her hands

on her waist and glared at him. “Stop bringing that up!”

The look in Joseph’s eyes turned mischievous and playful. Even his chuckle had a jolly tone to it. He

snorted. “Well, let’s see how well you do tonight

After all, she did nothing but talk. In the face of the action-oriented man, it was too weak.

In the afternoon, Chloe wanted to have a small meeting with her colleagues to discuss the recent

market trend and to come up with a new strategy together. While she was gathering her colleagues,

Ellie, who had been missing for some time, suddenly strode into the office.

It had been a long time since she had last come to the company.

The employees of the personnel department claimed that Ellie had long submitted a resignation letter,

but they rejected it. They requested her to hand in her resignation in person or they would expose her

bad deed to all the major industries so that no one would ever dare to hire her.

When Ellie noticed that Chloe had taken over her position as team leader, she was full of hatred.

“What is it? Are you here to say sorry?” Chloe remained calm and ignored Ellie’s burning gaze.

Ellie gnashed her teeth. “I’m sorry.”

Chloe picked her ears. “Sorry, I didn’t you. Speak louder.”

Not being the Virgin Mary, Chloe refused to be soft-hearted. If she had not seen through Ellie’s plot,

Maurice might have taken liberties with her.

Sometimes, it was cruel to oneself if one was kind to others.

“Ms. Ellie, I didn’t expect you to be such a person. We built the data with much difficulty and effort, but

you sold it to Baxon for money. You’re unethical.”

“That’s right. You even tried to slander Chloe. How outrageous!”

“You let us down!”

“Hurry up and apologize before you leave. We don’t want troublemakers like you in our department.”

Ellie’s face turned pale and livid at the same time. Under everyone’s rebuke, she bent down and bowed

before she said to Chloe again, “I’m sorry. Are you satisfied now?”

Chloe replied lightly, “Thanks for stopping by.”

After Ellie left Fairlight, her hatred intensified. She went downstairs to a convenience store, where her

gaze landed on a fruit knife. She stood there and stared at it. After paying for the knife, she hid it

behind her back and stood downstairs of the Fairlight building, waiting for Chloe to

come out after work.

Chloe finished her meeting with her department colleagues and was back in her seat. She then found a

new friend request on her Facebook. When she clicked on it and read through the person’s

biodata, she found that it was Xavia.

She frowned but approved of the request nevertheless.

After accepting the request, Xavia soon sent her a message. Its contents were for Chloe to meet her

downstairs of the company building in half an hour.
