“No, thank you. I’ve already found a job with a good sry,” Chloe responded, taking a sip of
water.
“So quickly? Whichpany?” Icarus expressed his surprise.
“It’s a smallpany…”
“Your qualifications are remarkable. Why settle for a smallpany?” Harry interjected, “I can connect
you with some great job opportunities. Don’t let your prime years go to waste.”
“He’s right. While smallpanies can serve as stepping stones, joining arger corporation offers
better prospects for long-term growth.’
”
“Yeah, Chloe. Don’t be too impulsive in your decisions.”
Hearing their advice, Chloe’s heart warmed. However, deep down, she understood that it was her
inability to act impulsively that led her to ept Joseph’s arrangement. Nevertheless, she sincerely
cherished their genuine concern.
“I will and I have indeed given it careful consideration. I won’t make any impulsive moves,” Chloe
replied, a mischievous smile gracing her face as her eyes sparkled like stars. “I’m fully aware of my
intentions. I chose thispany because they offered me a higher sry than
Baxon.”
Icarus locked eyes with her, his expression filled with tenderness. “That’s great to hear. Remember, if
you ever need any help, don’t hesitate to reach out to me.”
“Really? If Jake finds out that we’re getting closer, do you think it’ll affect your rtionship with him?”
Chloe yfully teased.
The mere thought of Jake’s potential reaction upon discovering her connection with Joseph filled her
with amusement, almost causing her to burst intoughter.
Icarus’s expression tensed slightly as he shifted his gaze. “Based on seniority, I’m technically his
senior, so he has no right to interfere.”
Chloe replied with a nonchnt “Oh,” not giving much thought to it. After all, her bond with Icarus was
solely that of friendship. It appeared that Jake had a number of senior rtives as she had already
come across two of them within a span of three months.
At that moment, Harry leaned over and raised his ss to clink with hers. “If Icarus is Jake’s uncle,
does that mean you’ll stop contacting Icarus?”
Chloe was momentarily caught off guard, but she quickly responded with a mischievous smile. “No, I
won’t.”
“Why not?”
“Because I want to be Jake’s aunt!”
The room erupted withughter, and the expressions on Icarus and Harry’s faces were absolutely
priceless, except for Lily, who did not fully grasp the underlying meaning of these
words.
Chloe had been in a sour mood all day. She had consumed three bottles of beer, and while not yet
intoxicated, she felt slightly dizzy. Her mind remained clear as she observed Icarus, whose expression
was constantly shifting. She touched her nose and remarked, “Don’t give me that look. I was just
messing with you guys.”
It was not worth getting entangled in this mess just to seek revenge on a scumbag. Yet, who could
resist Joseph’s charm?
He exuded a captivating allure, with his striking handsomeness and exceptional demeanor, stirring
Chloe’s heart. Little had she anticipated that after spending time together day after day, no matter how
handsome his face was, it could not offset his terrible temper.
Who would find that appealing?
Icarus, realizing he might have acted inappropriately, averted his gaze. A sense of joy spread within
him as he spoke, “I understand how you feel. It’s tough to be let down by someone, and it’s hard to
resist the urge to express anger.”
Chloe smiled, and her impression of him improved. He appeared to be reasonable and fair-
minded.
While Harry went to the restroom, he dragged Icarus along. Nudging Icarus with his elbow, he said,
“The atmosphere was getting intense earlier. Why didn’t you confess?”
“I’ll do it tomorrow. With you guys present, I’m afraid it’ll make Chloe ufortable and have the
opposite effect.”
“True, that littledy is pretty delicate. It wouldn’t work out with me and Lily around,” Harry gloated, a
mischievous smile on his face. “Remember to share the good news with me if you seed tomorrow. I
do wonder how your nephew will feel about it though.”
Someone transitioning from an ex-girlfriend to an aunt was more melodramatic than most
television dramas.
“I said it earlier. I’m his senior. He has no right to control me,” Icarus reiterated, his dignified demeanor
apanied by a touch of seriousness.
Upon hearing his words, Harry felt a sense of relief. “Our little Chloe has been through a lot. Take good
care of her when you’re together.”
“I will.”

As they continued their conversation, they exited the restroom. Icarus requested Harry to go back first
while he took care of the bill.
Meanwhile, Lucaspleted his transaction at the counter and walked past Icarus. Icarus halted for a
moment, his gaze fixed on Lucas’s retreating figure, lost in thought.
