    Chapter 13 Mystery Man


    Emily’s shoulders slumped as she said, “I’m sorry, Coco. There’s only one position that’s suitable for


    you and we just filled it today.


    “But the headquarters of Fairlight has moved to our country, and it’s not far from here. I read online that


    they’re recruiting an Estrenian trantion specialist. Your Estrenian is good, and you have the


    certification. You’ll definitely be up to the task. Why don’t you give it a try?


    “Are you talking about the Fairlight Group that made aeback a few years ago?” Chloe asked, her


    eyes fixed on Emily.


    “Yes! That’s the one!” Emily said as she pointed to the tall building in the north. “It’s right there. It’s not


    very far from here. I heard that they offer great benefits. If yound the job, we can go out for dinner


    every day after work!”


    Chloe followed Emily’s finger and looked to the center of the city, where the tallestmercial building


    there had been transformed into a structure with two prominent words—Fairlight Group—written in


    ck and gold at the top.


    Chloe’s eyes flickered. Five years ago, the Fairlight Group was on the brink of bankruptcy after its


    investment went sour. Then, a mysterious man took over thepany and was met with scorn from


    many industry leaders who predicted that he would undoubtedly lose everything by taking over. This


    became a hot topic at the time.


    To everyone’s surprise, just a yearter, the mystery man at the helm of thepany led it to make a


    remarkableeback. He not only managed to ovee the previous business losses, but also


    earned numerous des, establishing himself as a top financial genius.


    Chloe believed that if she could secure a job under the guidance of such an intelligent and capable


    leader, her future would be equally promising as it would be at Artron.


    However…

    “I don’t major in finance,” Chloe said worriedly, “Do you think they’ll give me a chance?”


    “Well, how would you know if you don’t try?” Emily replied.


    Chloe pondered over it and then began to hesitate when she remembered her bank ount bnce.


    After a while, she nodded. “Okay! I’ll submit my resume tonight!”


    After having dinner with Emily, Chloe took the bus back to Joseph’s vi. As soon as she walked in,


    she was weed by the aroma of delicious food.


    Joseph was sitting at the table in a gray casual outfit, elegantly enjoying his meal. The dishes on the


    table looked mouthwatering. He nced at her, and it was only then she realized the dishes seemed to


    be for two people.


    She rubbed her full belly, feeling a bit regretful. “Although I really want to sit down and eat with you, I


    can’t fit any more food in my stomach.”


    “You stop eating out since you have a weak stomach. It may upset your stomach again if you


    identally eat something that’s cooked with cheap oil,” Joseph said.


    Chloe could not help but roll her eyes. ‘Can’t this man say anything nice?’


    “I had arge bowl of chicken soup today,” she said. However, as an ordinary person, how could she


    compare to the man in front of her who grew up in a wealthy family? It was evident that he had a


    discerning pte when it came to food. He had not eaten much of the takeaway yesterday probably


    because it did not taste good. She was confident that he must have hired a chef to cook for him today.


    It seemed to Chloe that she really should enroll in cooking sses as soon as possible since the way


    to a man’s heart was through his stomach. After all, she had lost her job. If she did not seize this


    opportunity, she might end up on the streets one day.


    Joseph could not be bothered to say anything more, nor did he remind her that chicken soup had no


    effect on nurturing her stomach.


    Chloe returned to her bedroom and looked through Fairlight’s official website. She found the


    recruitment section and discovered that they were looking for an Estrenian trantor. The benefits


    were excellent, and most importantly, the office was only half an hour away by bus.


    She spent the whole night working on her resume, enduring the drowsiness that threatened to


    ovee her. Finally, she submitted it to thepany’s email and copsed onto her desk in


    exhaustion after seeing the sessful submission notification.


    After dinner, Joseph went to his study and spent several hours reviewing financial reports. He


    massaged his temples before getting up to go to the garden for some fresh air. As he passed by the


    guest bedroom, he noticed a faint light shining from under the door that was left ajar. He furrowed his


    brows and took a step closer, peering inside.


    There, he saw Chloe lying on her side in a lc, low-cut nightgown. She lookedpletely


    defenseless. Themp on the bedside table cast shadows on her fair neck and extended downwards,


    partially covering and revealing some of her beauty.


    Joseph’s eyes darkened and he reached out to close the door firmly.


    At the sound of the loud “click,” Chloe was jolted awake from her sleep. She heard the footsteps


    outside the door gradually fade away and her thoughts returned to reality.


    When she arrived in the garden, she saw Joseph there and asked in confusion, “Did you knock on my


    door just now?”
