    Chloe frowned. “You pour the coffee into the toilet? Doesn’t all the coffee go to Mr. Joseph?”


    Lucas looked puzzled. “Mr. Joseph hasn’t had coffee for a long time.”


    ‘He has been drinking chamomile tea before you two had your fight, and now he needs even more of it


    after you two reconciled.’


    “But Fia here has been delivering coffee to Mr. Joseph every day, and she said he epted them…”


    “No, she only delivered it once, and I intercepted it. After that, she’d just take a cup of coffee and head


    to the restroom every day.”


    As the conversation unfolded, Chloe understood the whole story. Sophia’s face turned crimson red.


    Unable to bear it any longer, she rushed back into the elevator. Just as the elevator doors slid close,


    she saw Josephing out of his office. Hisrge hand casually came to rest on Chloe’s slender waist


    as if he had done it countless times before.


    The coffee cup in Sophia’s hand was crushed out of shape. ‘It’s true, Chloe and Mr. Joseph are sugar


    dating!’


    Sophia could not wait to make a phone call to that woman to get further instructions from her. Some


    people simply could not stand seeing others doing better than them.


    Chloe wondered if Joseph had never really remembered Sophia.


    She asked, “Do you remember Sophia? The new employee in our department?”


    “Nope,” Joseph replied indifferently.


    Chloe paused, her suspicions confirmed. “Then why did she do all of this? Just to make me angry? It


    doesn’t make sense at all.’


    “What’s the matter?”


    “Fia seems to know about our rtionship.”


    Joseph sat on the sofa, casually propping his legs up on the coffee table. The sunlight from outside


    reflected on his face, highlighting his exquisitely sculpted handsome features.


    He shrugged nonchntly. “So what if she knows? It’s just as you wanted.”


    He knew that Chloe had long wanted to make their rtionship public.


    Chloe could not help but retort, “What do you mean by just as I wanted? We’re not allowed to engage


    in romantic rtionships in the office. You made the rules yourself, remember?”


    Joseph gazed at her deeply and said arrogantly, “If I have the ability to make rules, do I not have the


    ability to change them?”


    Chloe rolled her eyes at him, but she had to admit that what he said made sense. However, she had


    not made up her mind about whether to make their rtionship public yet. She would feel immensely


    pressured if it were to be exposed.


    When Chloe returned to her department, she noticed her colleagues’ subtle nces and the


    mysterious atmosphere that pervaded the air. On the other hand, Sophia had a look of amusement on


    her face as if she was waiting for a good show.


    Every department had its gossipmonger, and the marketing department was no exception. Their voices


    traveled faster than the person themselves.


    “Oh my, do you know? It’s been confirmed that Chloe has a fling with Mr. Joseph. Someone actually


    saw him holding her waist as they entered his office!”


    “I knew something was off between them. Which employee would receive a cash reward of 30


    thousand dors in one go? Clearly, there’s something fishy going on.”


    “That’s nothing. I have some insider information, and it’s absolutely true!”


    “What is it? Tell me quickly!”


    “The security guard at the underground parking lot personally saw Chloe getting into Mr. Joseph’s car!”


    “That’s concrete evidence! But I heard Chloees from an average family. It’s probably just a fling.


    But let me tell you, I have some insider information too. Remember our former colleague who jumped


    ship to Baxon? He told me a while back that Chloe knew Mr. Joseph even before joining Fairlight.


    Rumor has it that Chloe used to work as a maid at Mr. Joseph’s house at night!”


    “Damn, this is exciting news! I have to share it with everyone!”


    Tania hurriedly rushed into the office, excitement etched onto her face. But before she could. retract it,


    she collided head-on with Chloe, causing her to choke on her saliva and cough frantically.


    “Ms. Tania, are you all right?” Chloe gently patted her back, as if she had not heard anything.


    Tania’s face turned red from coughing, feeling like her neck had expanded by a size. She was filled


    with uncertainty and spoke in a faltering manner, “Chloe, you… You didn’t hear anything, right?”


    Chloe’s eyes were crystal clear, and under Tania’s hopeful gaze, she shook her head slowly,


    enunciating each word as if she were a devil. “I heard everything. Every. Single. Word.”
