Chapter 278 Simply Put, She’s My Wife
“It would be better for Ms. Chloe herself to inform me about this,” Noah said, his tone remaining
confident and gentle.
Joseph sneered, his voice solemn. “Rather than seeking endorsements for promotion, I
suggest your company focuses on its own employees. No amount of promotion can erase the
discerning eyes of the public. Character is synonymous with value. Since you operate in the jewelry
industry, where the majority of customers are women, shouldn’t your employees show some respect
toward women?”
Noah narrowed his eyes. “I don’t understand what you’re saying, Mr. Joseph.”
“If you don’t understand, you can go online and find the answers,” Joseph replied coldly.
Due to the large number of employees at Fairlight, they could not fit everyone inside the dining hall, so
the dinner was arranged to take place outside. The evening breeze blew gently, and the lights created
a pleasant atmosphere.
When Joseph arrived, Chloe and the other employees had been waiting for more than ten minutes. His
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtseat was at the front, and as he passed by a table, he overheard a group whispering among
themselves, causing him to pause in his tracks.
“Did you hear that Sophia from Marketing got fired?”
“Who’s Sophia? I’ve never heard that name before.”
“She’s that beautiful girl who joined our office not long ago.”
“Oh, I see. What happened to her?”
“I’m not sure if this is true or not, but I heard that she was spreading rumors about Chloe and Mr.
Joseph having an affair. That’s why she got fired.”
“It’s not a rumor. It’s true.”
A male voice suddenly interrupted their conversation. The group of chatters shivered and turned
around in unison to see Joseph standing behind them. His hands were inside his pockets and he was
looking down at them.
His face was impeccably sculpted, each feature carefully carved to perfection. Every angle and contour
showcased his striking masculinity, exuding an aura that captivated all who beheld
him.
Without waiting for their reaction, he walked to the stage.
“I have an announcement to make. Fairlight is canceling the ‘no office romance’ policy and will be
adopting an open management approach in this regard. Each department will decide on
1/2
such matters at their own discretion.”
A silence so profound settled over the venue that one could hear a pin drop. People took a moment to
process what was happening. Joseph then gestured toward Chloe and called her up.
“You, come here.”
It was just a short distance, yet Chloe felt an unprecedented level of attention as she crossed it. Her
palms grew sweaty as her nervousness mounted, yet her eyes sparkled like stars as they fixated
unwaveringly on the tall and handsome man before her, her cheeks blushing a rosy hue.
“What are you doing?” Chloe whispered to Joseph.
“Haven’t you guessed yet?” Joseph raised an eyebrow, his tone filled with amusement.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmChloe knew what he was going to do, but she felt too shy to say it aloud, so she simply shook her head
with a bashful smile.
“You dummy,” Joseph remarked, his eyebrows raised in playful exasperation.
Chloe remained silent.
Meanwhile, Xavia stood in the distance, observing the scene from the shadows. On the stage, the
handsome man and beautiful woman exuded unparalleled harmony that appeared to transcend any
imperfections.
She clenched her fist tightly, her nails stabbing into her palm yet she did not feel the pain.
“Today, we have two pieces of good news,” Joseph announced, “First, Ms. Wendy from Marketing has
successfully given birth to her son tonight. After working for many years and contributing greatly to the
company’s profits, she’ll be promoted to a mid-level management positioxo.com fast updaten
upon her return from maternity leave.
“Second, you may have heard some rumors about me and Chloe recently. First and foremost, she is
my woman, but not in a transactional sense. Simply put, we are husband and wife.”
Chloe raised her head, tears welling up in her eyes as her heart bloomed like a flower. No woman
would not yearn for such a sense of securit
