Chapter 136 Who Are You to Bring Joseph Lunch?

“You know these employees of Fairlight?” the developer asked.

Melody was taken aback. “She’s from Fairlight?”

‘Didn’t Ava say Chloe had left Fairlight and wasn’t working there anymore? Why is she back there now?”

“She is. The two of them are here today to inspect the site,” the property developer confirmed.

Jealousy and anger overcame Melody’s face, but she suppressed her emotions and put on a friendly facade. With a forced smile, she said, “I’ve known her for many years. We’re old friends.”

Chloe remained silent, rolling her eyes but choosing not to expose the truth. She just wanted to get her job done as soon as possible.

Realization hit the developer and he generously granted them half an hour to catch However, Chloe quickly declined and said, “No, no. We should dedicate ourselves to our work. during office hours. We can catch up privately outside of work.”

The property developer looked at Chloe with appreciation in his eyes.

Melody was so enraged that her eyeballs were about to pop out.

‘A wh*re will forever be a wh*re. She’s always trying to attract others wherever she goes.’

Wendy and the developer exchanged a few words, after which he started them guiding around to examine the site. Due to Wendy’s pregnancy, they had to take occasional breaks before resuming their

walk.

It was already eleven o’clock, and the tasks that should have been finished in the morning remained incomplete. Holding the lunchbox, Chloe hesitantly interjected, “Sorry to interrupt, but I have something to say…”

Supporting her waist, Wendy nudged her chin at her and said, “Go ahead.”

“Can I take an hour off? I need to go back to the office to deliver this lunchbox…”

“Go back to the office?” Wendy was puzzled. “Who are you delivering it to?”

Chloe swallowed nervously and forced a smile on her face. “Mr. Joseph.”

The other three froze in surprise.

Melody was the first to regain her composure. She raised her voice and asked, “Mr. Joseph? Who are you to him? Why are you delivering his lunchbox? Chloe, you should know your place. Daydreaming isn’t a good habit.”

Wendy looked displeased and cast a glance at Melody. “That’s not an appropriate way to speak.

”

‘You should be the one to know your place. How dare you speak to my subordinate in such a manner while I am standing right here?’ Wendy retorted inwardly.

The developer chimed in and tried to diffuse the tension. “Melody has always been. straightforward. Please don’t take her words to heart.”

Wendy shifted her gaze to the lunchbox in Chloe’s hand, vaguely recalling seeing it in the conference room. She was perplexed.

“How did Mr. Joseph’s lunchbox end up in your hands?” she asked.

“Um… I bumped into Mr. Joseph this morning while I was on my way to the office. He had something urgent to attend to and asked me to bring his lunch box to the office. I completely. forgot that I was supposed to come here today,” she hastily came up with an excuse. However, she realized that leaving now would be untimely, so she proposed, “Should I call someone to come and take it to the office for me?”

Wendy pondered for a few seconds, wondering if she should send Chloe back.

Knowing that it was Joseph’s lunchbox, Melody immediately chimed in, “Give it to me. I’ll go. After all, I’m just sitting here serving tea.”

Melody did have a point. She was the only one available at the moment, and without Chloe around, there would be a substantial amount of data entry work for Wendy to manage alone.

Melody looked toward the developer, who understood her intention and silently nodded in agreement. Seeing this, her face lit up with a wide smile as an unexpected surge of happiness welled up inside of her. She swiftly snatched the lunchbox from Chloe’s hands as if afraid she might change her mind. With her heels clicking against the ground, she dashed off like a running dog.

Chloe chortled. ‘Hah, does she really think this is a great opportunity for her to get close to Joseph? Well, I wish her good luck. After all, not everyone can handle that guy’s behavior.”

Outside Fairlight, Melody swaggered in with the lunchbox in her hands. The security guard spotted her and stopped her from entering. “Please show me your employee ID.”

“I’m here to deliver lunch to Mr. Joseph. Can you afford to delay his lunchtime?” she said with

a hint of arrogance.

The security guard looked at her suspiciously and hurriedly went to the front desk to ask about it. The receptionist placed a call to Lucas, who assumed it was Chloe and that she must have forgotten her ID as she just joined the company, he granted her entry.

Melody smoothly entered Fairlight and the front desk escorted her to the elevator. As she

watched the changing floor numbers, she could not contain her excitement. She was about to meet Joseph, the man rumored to have single-handedly transformed Fairlight.

Was he as handsome as she had imagined?

Meanwhile, as Joseph’s assistant, Lucas sensed that Joseph was in a good mood when he entered the office. He poured a glass of water and promptly exited. 1 © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Coincidentally, the elevator doors opened at that moment, and Melody stepped out. Lucas looked at her with a furrowed brow and asked, “Who are you?”
