Chapter 274 Being a Mistress Offers No Future Prospects
Sophia was driven crazy by her shamelessness. “Why you… Have you no shame?”
“Shame? Yeah, I have no shame. I indeed entered Fairlight through the backdoor and Joseph does
favor me. Just a few sweet nothings whispered in his ear, and he would have you fired. Smart people
know to please me, but you resorted to scheming against me. How foolish can you be?”
Infuriated and knowing that the rumors had already spread, Chloe decided to unleash herself. Joseph
was far from being a middle-aged man. He possessed both striking looks and abundant wealth.
Therefore, even if she were entangled in such a rtionship, it would hardly be a cause
for shame.
Lucas entered the department to announce some team-building matters, only to stumble upon the
heated argument between Chloe and Sophia. He was momentarily taken aback and unsure whether to
intervene or retreat.
In her desperation, Sophia caught sight of Lucas and immediately grabbed him, pouring out her
grievances. “Mr. Lucas, Chloe pped me and even threatened to have Mr. Joseph fire me. She’s
spouting nonsense. I haven’t done anything wrong. Please help me!”
Lucas discreetly distanced himself from her, wearing a professional smile on his face. “I’m sorry, but
you have indeed been dismissed.”
Chloe’s eyelid twitched and deeply suspected that Lucas was ying along with her charade. In reality,
it was not Lucas cooperating with her, but Joseph.
Joseph had inquired about Sophia after she left. Upon hearing about her persistent coffee deliveries,
he waved his hand, instructing Lucas to inform HR to terminate her employment. After all, someone like
Sophia whose heart was not focused on work would only hinder. productivity if kept around, and the
department members might even have to clean. up

Unfortunately, Lucas had not yet had the opportunity to notify the HR department of Joseph’s decision.
Sophia found this hard to believe. “Mr. Lucas, you’re joking, right?”

“Pack up your belongings. Finance will settle your ounts.”
Realizing further resistance was futile, Sophia refrained from causing any more trouble. Like a defeated
hen, she hung her head in silence, gathered her belongings, and left.
Lucas watched Sophia leave the marketing department and then proceeded to announce a team -
building trip before leaving as well. Once he departed, the other workers cast curious nces toward
Chloe, but no one dared to approach and inquire further.

Only one colleague, who had maintained a rtively decent rtionship with Chloe, cautiously asked,
“Chloe, were your words just spoken out of anger earlier?”
Chloe paused, sensing the inquisitive gazes from all directions, and shed a radiant smile, ” Of
course. Fia always intentionally targets me, and it’s been getting on my nerves.”
The colleague patted her chest and said, “I knew you weren’t that kind of person. Let me tell you, even
though Mr. Joseph is rich, being a mistress offers no future prospects.”
Chloe blinked. “You’re right.”
After leaving Fairlight, Sophia immediately dialed the woman’s phone number. “I got fired. You
promised topensate me.”
“Don’t worry.” A gentle voice came through the phone. “The money will be transferred to you shortly.
Besides that, do you have any other useful information to provide?”
With the promise providing a glimmer of hope, Sophia’s spirits lifted slightly. “I overheard. discussions
in the finance department about apany-wide team-building trip. It appears they’re nning a three-
day, two-night vacation. Oh, and by the way, Chloe was offered an endorsement deal. It’s scheduled for
this Friday, but I’m unsure if she’ll attend.”
Sophia’s workstation was situated very close to Chloe’s, so she could easily listen in to any phone calls
or voice messages.
There was a brief pause on the other end. “What’s the location of the team-building?”
