Chapter 356 Employee
Upon reconsideration, Chloe realized that Noah did not even know Icarus, so she believed she was overthinking the situation. Expressing gratitude for his concern, she ended the call and immediately tried to reach out to the employee who had posted the video.
Unfortunately, the employee was currently out on business and unable to answer the phone.
Noah returned to school and settled into the classroom. His neatly styled, chestnut brown. hair partially obscured his eyebrows, unveiling a pair of innocent and captivating eyes. Leisurely tapping his fingertips on the phone screen, he switched to his Facebook account, located Icarus’ profile, and opened the confession video. In the comments section, he tagged Fairlight’s official account.
Toward the end of the workday, the employee who had posted the video returned. Apologizing to Chloe, he promptly deleted the video while explaining, “Ms. Chloe, I forgot that you had an endorsement deal with Exotic Star.”
“It’s fine.” Chloe waved her hand helplessly. “You should go home now.”
The video had already been shared, and there was no point in saying anything further. Icarus and Chloe had planned to have a meal together in the hospital cafeteria today. Since she had not visited him for two days, she agreed to meet him after work. With his leg injury, he was confined to the hospital and could not go anywhere else.
As Chloe organized the materials for her copywriting, she stretched her body. Just as she was about to finish work, she received a call from Icarus.
“Chloe, you don’t have to come later.”
“Why? What’s wrong?”
“There’s some trouble at my workplace, and I need some time to handle it.”
Chloe’s heart sank as she pondered something. Her voice turned stern as she asked, “Is it Joseph?”
Icarus remained silent for a few seconds. “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it.”
By not denying it, he practically admitted it. Chloe sat in her office, lost in thought. After a long while, she sent a text message to Joseph.
[What do you want from me?]
There was a reason behind his actions, and the only person he targeted was her.
[Come to Fairlight].
Joseph replied almost instantly.
Chloe, filled with anger, chuckled and replied: [Coward!]
[It’s fine if you don’t come. I won’t hesitate to acquire Icarus’ company by force tomorrow.]
Chloe took a deep breath, remained seated for five minutes, then went out and hailed a taxi to Fairlight. Along the way, she took out her phone and browsed through the net. Although the video had been deleted, many netizens had saved and shamelessly reposted it. Perhaps it was the halo of being Exotic Star’s ambassador, her popularity was on the verge of surpassing that of the current hottest celebrities..
Chloe smiled bitterly at her first experience of what troubles were brought about by being at celebrity. She now understood why so many celebrities were driven crazy by intrusive paparazzi and crazy fans.
At nine o’clock in the evening, Fairlight’s office was still buzzing with employees working overtime. Chloe took the elevator to the top floor. As the doors slid open, a powerful force yanked her out, propelling her into instant chaos. NôvelDrama.Org content.
Before she could react, an intense and overpowering kiss seized her, leaving her breathless. and stunned. She resisted with all her strength, lifting her knee to strike the person in his nether regions.
