Chapter 191


    Chapter 191 Sincerity


    Joseph felt a small lump rise in his throat as he faced her passionate and sincere gaze. Ufortably,


    he averted his gaze and replied, “You’re overthinking it.”


    “No, you do have feelings for me,” Chloe said. Although she was talking to him, it gave people a feeling


    that she was talking to herself. “Why don’t you just admit it? Love should be boldly expressed!”


    Before he could respond, she pressed on, “I also have a good impression of you!”


    She was not naive. She had noticed the changes in him. It was just that she had never considered it


    from that angle.


    At this moment, his reaction confirmed her suspicions. Joseph’s face sank, his long legs crossedzily,


    and his cold gaze bore into Chloe. “Just a good impression?”


    ‘Isn’t she supposed to be so deeply in love with me that she can’t imagine her life without me?‘


    Chloe lightly touched her nose, casting her eyes downward to conceal the fleeting sense of guilt. From


    a side nce, she looked like a wounded little white rabbit. “Of course not. I’m


    worried that my love for you is too overwhelming and will only cause you to resent me. So, I can only


    reveal a glimpse of my affection, like the tip of an iceberg.”


    Since getting to know this guy, her acting skills had be even more refined. It would be a shame if


    she did not venture into the entertainment industry.


    Joseph raised his chin slightly, exposing his smooth and well- chiseled jawline. He sneered, “You’re just


    trying to hide the obvious.”


    Lucas, driving in the front seat, was left speechless. ‘Seriously, Mr. Joseph? It seems to me that you’re


    the one trying to cover up the obvious.‘


    “Hehe.” Chloe wrapped her arm around Joseph’s and rested her head on his shoulder. “Jojo, when did


    you start liking me? Or rather, when did you develop a good impression of me?”


    “Shut up.”

    “Can’t I ask? How unforting of you.” Chloe pouted. Were you captivated by my good looks? What


    a coincidence, so was I by yours. Luckily, I was clever enough not to believe that you’re impotent.


    Otherwise, we might’ve missed each other! Ah-”


    Chloe’s words were abruptly silenced by an unexpected kiss. Her eyes widened as she stared at the


    magnified handsome face before her. This man was unbelievably good–looking, but


    How many times had they kissed in front of Lucas?!


    ‘This is so embarrassing!‘


    Joseph had only intended to silence her incessant chatter, but her lips held an addictive allure, each


    touch leaving him yearning for more. Her tender resistance, flushed countenance, and faint whimpering


    sounds captivated him. Though aware of her yful resistance, the more she held back, the stronger


    his desire to conquer her became as he yearned to exert his dominance upon her.


    If Chloe knew what Joseph was thinking, she would surely


    have bristled with rage. She was not ying hard to get.


    Rather, she fretted over the possibility of their colleagues witnessing them upon their arrival at Fairlight.


    As fate would have it, just as one hoped to avoid something, it would inevitably ur.


    Looking through the car window, she saw Ellie driving a Volkswagen toward them, also heading to the


    underground parking lot. Chloe quickly reacted and tried to push Joseph away. Unfortunately, he was


    too strong, and her rejection proved fruitless. She gritted her teeth, and a faint taste of blood filled her


    mouth.


    Joseph suddenly opened his eyes, anger shing across his face before delving deeper into their


    passionate kiss. Overwhelmed, Chloe struggled to catch her breath. Fortunately, Ellie did not notice


    them, and Joseph finally released her.


    Chloe cast him a resentful gaze, her petite face blushing intensely. It was more like a spoiled gesture


    than aint when she said, “We almost got caught by a colleague.”


    Just as she finished speaking, she quickly covered her mouth. ‘ Goodness, why did my voice sound


    so…‘


    Joseph calmly adjusted his tie and smirked arrogantly. “What difference does it make if someone


    sees?”


    “But if someone sees us, there will be gossip.”


    “I’ll fire those who spread rumors.”


    Chloe was speechless. ‘Sure. You’re the boss, you make the call.


    Chloe sessfully clocked in and entered the office, cing her sandwiches on her desk. She nned


    to grab a cup


    of


    water first and savor the sandwiches slowly. As she passed by her colleagues, she noticed their


    strange gazes. She furrowed her brows. ‘Is Ellie backstabbing me again?‘


    “Chloe, why is your mouth swollen…” a colleague sitting next to her workstation questioned, clearly


    perplexed.


    She froze for a moment and hastily reached into her drawer to retrieve a small mirror.


    *


    ‘D*mn it! My lips are all swollen because of that b*stard!‘


    Chloe forced herself to appear calm. “It’s nothing. I ate something spicyst night.”


    “Are your lips swollen from kissing a man?” snidely remarked Ellie, who happened to pass by.
