Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love

Chapter 267

Chapter 267 Weren’t You So Affectionate Toward Karen

“Huh? But why did you choose me instead of a celebrity?” Chloe asked bluntly and without any hesitation. Big brands typically opted for celebrities as their brand ambassadors, making it uncommon for them to select an ordinary person like her.

“Because your temperament and image are more suitable to represent Exotic Star,” Noah explained in a calm and gentle tone. “During the exhibition, our photographer captured a series of photos, and one particular shot featuring you caught the attention of our designer. It left a lasting impression, prompting his strong recommendation for you to audition.”

Chloe’s surprise turned into excitement. “Was it the renowned designer Santiago Hart?!” she squealed.

Santiago’s name held immense weight in the fashion industry, known as a true titan with an eccentric personality and an exceptional eye for detail. To even capture his attention was a rare honor, typically reserved for a privileged few actors and models. In the fashion circle, there was a well-known saying: “If Santiago Hart sets his sights on you, it’s as if heaven itself is bestowing its blessings upon you.”

“If you pass the audition, the contract will be for three years, and there will be an

endorsement fee of 30 million. You’ll also receive a limited edition piece of Exotic Star jewelry every year,” Noah revealed.

Chloe’s breath caught in her throat as she processed the staggering figure. “I can audition, but I’m just an ordinary person. I’m not worth that much money.”

Her straightforward words amused Noah. “Even if you don’t believe in yourself, don’t you trust Santiago’s judgment?”

Chloe contemplated his words and replied, “You have a point.”

Since she had already taken three consecutive days off this month, they scheduled the audition for Friday evening. Shortly after ending the call, Noah added her on WhatsApp.

Chloe’s mind raced with thoughts. If she passed the audition, she would finally be able to repay the money she owed Joseph in one fell swoop. Determined to accomplish her tasks, she remained in the office even after regular working hours. She sent Joseph a text, notifying him that she would be working late, before immersing herself in her duties once more.

Upstairs, Joseph, who was supposed to conclude a meeting, briefly glanced at his phone and composedly remarked, “Keep working on finding solutions. If you can’t resolve this minor issue, you might as well stay in the office.”

The executives from different departments had no option but to press on. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

It was nine o’clock in the evening, and Chloe had finally cleared her backlog of work. As she descended the stairs, she noticed Benjamin patiently waiting for her, unknown how long she

had waited. She paused, a faint smile gracing her lips.

Benjamin’s face lit up with an awkward smile as he spotted Chloe. “Why did you block my number?”

Chloe’s eyes widened in surprise as she replied, “I blocked you three months ago. Did you just notice it today?”

Benjamin, knowing he was embarrassed, changed the subject. “I’ve divorced Karen, and I

kicked Ava out as well. Why don’t you move back in? I’ll hand over the company to you as well.

“I

Chloe asked, her expression feigning surprise, “Why? Weren’t you so affectionate toward Karen?”

Benjamin’s face alternated between pale and flushed, indicating his fluctuating emotions, in a moment of frustration, he kicked the nearby tree trunk. “Don’t mention those bitches. Ava isn’t even my daughter.”

and

“Oh, I see. So, you’re coming to me now because you have no offspring and are worried about being alone in your old age?”

“Coco, how could you speak to your father that way?”

“Isn’t it true? If Karen and Ava were still around, you wouldn’t even spare me a thought.”

“The past is in the past. We share the same blood, and family shouldn’t harbor grudges. While Fairlight is a decent company, working for others can’t compare to the potential of building a family business. Spare a thought for your father, come back to the Johnson Group, and I’ll give you the position of manager.”

Chloe lowered her gaze, concealing her underlying resentment. When she lifted her head again, a smile adorned her face. “You’re absolutely right, my dear father. If I return, does that mean I’ll also be entitled to some of the company shares?”
