Chapter 135 A Strange Feeling

It was only then Chloe noticed then that his complexion was pale, with his eyebrows furrowed tightly

and fine beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead and nose.

Without hesitation, she hurried to the nearest pharmacy and returned with the medicine.

After taking the medicine, Joseph’s complexion slowly improved after half an hour.

Once they returned to the house, Chloe asked softly, “If you can’t handle spicy food, why did you eat

the crawfish?”

She regretted bringing him there in the first place.

Joseph, still covered in a cold sweat, glanced at her and smiled ambiguously. “You were going out for a

meal with another man. If I don’t follow you, do you expect me to starve?”

The guilt that had just welled up in Chloe’s heart vanished without a trace. Annoyed, she retorted, “I

didn’t force you to eat, and there’s nothing in the contract that says I can’t go out for a meal with

friends.”

“Is that not stated in the contract? Thanks for the reminder. I’ll add it tomorrow.”

“Joseph, why are you so mean to me?!”

“If I were being mean to you, you’d be the one feeling uncomfortable right now.”

Chloe’s beautiful face sank, and she was on the verge of tears. Although she felt frustrated, she could

not find a way to refute him.

How could he possess such a venomous tongue yet maintain an air of innocence?

“Bring me lunch tomorrow afternoon. I can’t eat outside food,” he demanded.

She gritted her teeth and retorted, “Do you really see me as your personal chef? I’m exhausted. too,

you know. Ms. Wendy just assigned me a task today, and I have to go out tomorrow. I don’t have that

much time.”

“Do you want a pay raise?” Joseph looked at her nonchalantly.

Chloe was stumped. Her face blossomed into a smile, brimming with charm. “Really?”

Joseph was speechless. ‘What a materialistic woman.’

“Jojo, how much of a raise are you willing to give me?”

At the mention of money, Chloe transformed from a fierce tigress into a gentle little kitten, gently

tugging at his sleeve. Once she had saved enough money, she would repay him and never again live

under someone else’s roof.

What was a little hardship and fatigue in the grand scheme of things? Chloe dreaded the

thought of experiencing both exhaustion and destitution simultaneously.

Joseph lowered his gaze, fixating on her slender, white fingertips. He felt an urge to hold them, but

quickly averted his eyes and stated a figure.

Chloe widened her eyes, brimming with joy. Overwhelmed with excitement, she embraced him tightly.

“Thank you, boss!”

Joseph’s senses were greeted by a subtle fragrance that filled the air. Drawing closer to her, he fixated

on the gentle smile adorning her face, which unexpectedly evoked a fluttering

sensation deep within his heart.

After giving him a brief hug, Chloe happily hummed a tune and went to her bedroom, oblivious to

Joseph’s expression.

While cleaning her face with a makeup remover pad, she received a text message from Icarus. [Chloe,

can you be honest with me? What exactly is your relationship with Mr. Joseph?]

Lily had a carefree and easygoing personality, so it was normal that she did not realize anything.

Icarus, on the other hand, had surely noticed something on their first encounter.

Chloe’s hand paused, and she pursed her lips, unsure of how to respond. She sent back a simple

reply.

[We’re both just getting what we need from each other.]

With her salary increase, Chloe woke up early the next morning and prepared lunch, packing it in a

thermal container. Joseph glanced at it, finding that all the dishes were his favorites. He lightly tapped

Chloe had to go on a site inspection with Wendy, so Joseph dropped her off at the destination before

heading to Fairlight. It was only after getting out of the car that she realized she had inadvertently taken

the lunchbox with her:

Annoyed, Chloe ran her fingers through her hair, uncertain if she would be able to wrap up the

inspection in time to rush back for lunch. By the time Wendy and she arrived at the site, the property

developer was already there, accompanied by a secretary dressed in an ostentatious. suit. He stood

with his back to them, giving orders to the workers.

Chloe furrowed her brow, feeling uncomfortable listening to his orders. The property developer called

out, “Melody, come over and meet them.”

When Melody turned around and saw Chloe, she asked in a displeased voice, “What are you doing

here?”

Having previously gotten into trouble with Ava, Melody’s parents had grounded her for a while. Through

some connections, Melody managed to secure a position as a secretary in at

company.

Deep down, she harbored resentment toward Chloe. If it were not for Chloe, she surmised that she

would be a staff of Fairlight by now and could have even won over the newly appointed CEO with her
