Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love

Chapter 205

Chapter 205 Chloe, You’re Getting Fired

Joseph’s face suddenly became gloomy.

Chloe was facing away from the yard. When she heard the sound, she too turned around and took a look. Xavia, whom she had not seen in two weeks, appeared all of a sudden.

While Chloe was still in a daze, Joseph stood up and went outside.

“Joe, Oreo was being naughty and ran out. It got hit by a car

and is now at the vet. The doctor said Oreo needs a blood donation. Can I get Toto to help?” Out of anxiousness and worry, Xavia held onto Joseph’s hand.

Joseph pulled back his hand and nodded. “I’ll take Toto and go with you.” He then went to the back garden to look for Toto.

Xavia stood on the spot and waited. Upon noticing Chloe, she explained in embarrassment, “I’m sorry. I know I shouldn’t disturb you guys but I don’t know who to turn to for help other than Joe.”

“It’s fine.” Chloe ate quietly before she asked with a smile, “Is Oreo your dog?”

“Hmm, Oreo and Toto are from the same litter. Joe took Toto while I took Oreo.”

“Oh…” Chloe guessed that Oreo might be related to Toto.

Otherwise, Xavia would have to search high and low for a dog with the right blood type.

Before Joseph left, he patted Chloe’s head briefly. “I’ll be back in a bit.” NôvelDrama.Org © content.

“Okay, go ahead.”

Chloe’s calm expression became twisted in Xavia’s eyes. She assumed that Chloe was fearless because she was favored. Xavia quickly lowered her head to hide her emotion.

Chloe watched them leave, observing how enthusiastic Toto was toward Xavia. It was clear that Toto knew Xavia and had feelings for her. Chloe felt that the dog she took care of attentively for so long was suddenly retrieved by its former owner one day, and inexplicable annoyance engulfed her.

After around two hours, Joseph returned with Toto. Toto appeared slightly weak, appearing like it had donated quite a lot of blood. Chloe felt very sorry for Toto and hugged the dog tightly. “Is Xavia’s dog badly injured?”

“Hmm, Oreo’s condition is still unsteady at the moment. Oreo may need another donation from Toto.”

Chloe frowned. “But we can’t let Toto be the only one donating blood.”

“I know what I’m doing.” An unfathomable look flashed across Joseph’s face. This was not what he was worried about. Border Collies were smart dogs, and Oreo was much smarter than Toto. Oreo could understand traffic lights since young and knew how to avoid cars. Why would Oreo run out and get hit by a car?

Chloe nodded and said nothing more. After all, Toto was not her dog, so she had no right to raise any opinion. The only thing she could do was cook healthy meals for Toto to help Toto recover quicker.

Luckily, Xavia did not contact Joseph the next day, so Toto did

not have to donate blood again.

Half an hour before the forum started in the afternoon, Chloe was ready and arrived at the venue early. She casually sat on a vacant seat. Unexpectedly, Maurice was early too. He came after she had just arrived.

At that moment, the scene was not crowded. Thus, Maurice saw Chloe at a glance. She was sitting in a corner.

She was in an off–shoulder black dress, looking tall, slim, and curvy. Contrasting with her dark dress, her milky and tender skin looked even fairer and brighter. As a result, she emitted an extraordinary temperament.

Seeing this, Maurice could not take his eyes off her. ‘This girl has become so much prettier after leaving Baxon.‘

He gulped before he rubbed his hands together in excitement and walked over. “Hey, Chloe, right?” Maurice pretended to be surprised as he went forward to strike up a conversation with her. He casually took the chair opposite her.

Chloe then faked a smile and replied, “I heard there was going to be a finance forum here. I happened to have an invitation card, so I came to check it out.”

“You should have told me if you wanted to come. I have a lot of invitation cards.”

“Thank you but I already have one.”

Maurice asked the obvious. “Where are you working now?”

“Fairlight.”

“Oh, Fairlight? That’s amazing. Your company recently came up with a new project. Didn’t you guys hold a press conference

a few days ago?”

Chloe answered politely, “Mm–hm, and there’ll be another project coming up soon.”

Maurice averted his gaze to avoid coming off too strong and revealing his true goal. He first chatted with her briefly before turning the topic to the current forum. “Baxon’s board of directors invited a few foreign reporters for an interview today. It’s not for the public. Are you interested in that?”

Chloe appeared very surprised. “Indeed I am. Thank you very much.”

Maurice touched his chin and sized her up with a lascivious gaze. “It’s a small favor. After all, we’re friends. Come with me.

Chloe followed him into the innermost lounge. On her way there, she spotted Laura out of the corner of her eye, using a phone to take secret shots of them while hiding in a corner.

Suddenly, Maurice stopped and handed her the wallet in his hand. “Could you help me hold this for a bit? My s
