Chapter 306 She’s Waiting for You Inside
Joseph nonchalantly remarked, “Send her back to her place.”
“Right away.”
After handling Ava, Joseph took a shower and headed straight to Fairlight.
At the office, Lucas approached him respectfully. “Sir, Ms. Xavia is waiting for you inside.” Putting on
his usual expressionless demeanor, Joseph pushed the door open and entered. Upon seeing Joseph,
Xavia’s face immediately brightened with affection. “You’re here. Did you…attend a business gathering
last night? I smell alcohol.”
“No.” His voice was flat and emotionless, his short black hair still slightly damp. He adjusted his tie and
took a seat in front of the computer. A sidelong glance revealed his well-defined jawline, reflecting his
cold and aloof demeanor.
Xavia’s expression froze. “Joe, are you in a bad mood?”
Joseph’s dark eyes, black as ink, held a hint of bloodshot. He pressed his temples, displaying a trace of
restlessness. “A little.”
“Is it because of work or…personal matters?”
“Work”
Xavia’s face softened. “It’s been years since I dealt with finance stuff. I’m afraid I can’t be of much help
to you.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“It’s fine.” Joseph’s gaze, difficult to decipher, met hers. “Did you have something to discuss with me?”
“Umm… I’m planning to leave Aesper for a while.”
“Why?”
“I want to visit other cities. Being in the hospital all the time feels suffocating.”
Joseph reached into a drawer and retrieved a card, handing it to her. “Buy whatever you want. Don’t
skimp on yourself.”
Xavia smiled and pushed the card back. “I have savings that are enough to sustain me for a lifetime.
You’re busy, so I’d best be leaving now.”
Joseph frowned slightly but remained silent.
As Xavia exited Fairlight, the gentle smile on her face vanished without a trace. She entered a sedan,
and the man in the driver’s seat attentively handed her a bottle of water. She glared at him, her
expression darkening. “Don’t waste your efforts on these useless gestures. If you can’t meet the
requirements within a month, don’t ever expect to see me again.”
That old man refused to let go of her and had even resorted to threats. She had initially intended to
take things slow with Joseph, but now she had no choice. It was all because of Harold’s coercion.
Eustace Hubble eagerly nodded in response. Xavia was the goddess he had pursued for many and
now he had the opportunity to be in such close proximity to her. It was a chance he was willing to make
any sacrifice for.
years,
The mere thought of spending day and night with his goddess for the whole month filled him with
undeniable excitement.
In the hospital today, Chloe arrived to pick Icarus up. Her injuries had already healed, and she was
ready to take care of him.
Sitting in a wheelchair with a fractured calf, Icarus expressed his apology, saying, “I’m sorry I need you
to take care of me, Chloe.”
She reassured him. “Don’t worry about it. It’s only natural for me to be here for you.”
“I’ve already arranged for a caregiver, but they won’t be starting until tomorrow. I have an important
forum to attend tomorrow, but I have difficulty moving my legs. Can you accompany me?”
Chloe nodded without hesitation, replying, “Of course, I’ll be there with you.”
In the afternoon, they arrived at the venue right on time. To Chloe’s surprise, she noticed. several
familiar faces among the attendees, all prominent figures in the financial industry. Her heart skipped a
beat, fearing that Joseph might be among them. However, after scanning the room, she failed to spot
him.
As the forum progressed, the host suddenly announced with an excited expression, “Ladies and
gentlemen, today we have an unexpected surprise. Joining us is Mr. Joseph Whitmaxo.com fast
updaten, the CEO of Fairlight Group. Let’s give him a warm round of applause!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmChloe’s mouth twitched. Even before the man took the stage, she hastily found an excuse and slipped
away to the restroom. She truly wanted to avoid encountering Joseph in such a setting. If he saw her
with Icarus, she knew he would likely make sarcastic remarks once again.
Joseph emerged from backstage, his gaze sharp as it fixed upon Icarus, a disdainful smile playing on
his lips.
Sensing Joseph’s intent for being there, Icarus’ grip on the wheelchair handles tightened but he
remained composed and courteous in his demeanor.
Chloe was in the midst of washing her hands in the restroom when a strong grip seized her shoulder,
forcefully turning her around. Her almond-shaped eyes widened in shock as she came face to face with
Joseph. Before she could react, he pulled her into an embrace.
“Let go of me!” She pushed and struggled desperately. “This is the women’s restroom. I’m going to call
for help!”
“Go ahead,” Joseph responded calmly.
Growing increasingly frustrated, Chloe opened her mouth and began shouting, “Help! There’s a pervert
in the women’s restroom!”
Joseph’s eye twitched violently, and he leaned down to silence Chloe’s scarlet lips with his. Chloe
realized that her previous approach was ineffective. Knowing that a direct confrontation would not work
on him, she needed to change her strategy.
She nuzzled into his neck and gently kissed the corner of his lips. Her gaze became seductive and
hazy. In a soft and enticing voice, she whispered, “Not here. Let’s find somewhere more private
