Chapter 25 If You Two Get Caught in Bed Together

Joseph paused for a moment, then gave some instructions to the person on the other end of the video call and ended the meeting.

Crossing his legs, he calmly asked, “What’s the reason?” NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

“No idea. HR says Ms. Chloe sent a message close to the start of her shift saying she won’t be coming, and that was the end of it.”

Joseph recalled how happy Chloe looked in front of the mirror this morning. He propped up his chin with one hand. “Did they call her?”

“Yes, but her phone is switched off.”

Joseph furrowed his brows slightly, clearly dissatisfied with her behavior. She was the one who had applied for the job, yet she was also the one who did not show up for work.

Lucas could not quite decipher his boss’s thoughts from his expression. He took out his phone and displayed the top trending news to Joseph. “There’s another thing. It seems that William, who we fired, isn’t happy and has been stirring things up online.”

Joseph briefly glanced through the article, hardly reading a tenth of it before shifting his gaze

“Yes. Just handle it the usual way.” Joseph’s gaze remained fixed on the computer screen.

Later that day, with not much to do at the company today, Joseph left on time and returned to his villa. The empty house was completely silent, and he glanced at the woman’s house slippers placed neatly on the shoe rack with a snort.

‘She hasn’t been home all day, yet she claimed she’d cook for me every day.‘

Joseph was not hungry, so he went upstairs and took a shower. He grabbed a book and lazily sat

in his chair reading.

As time passed, the sky grew dark, and Chloe had yet to return. Joseph took out his phone and called her. He was ready to admonish her for not keeping her word, but before he could even say anything, a cold, mechanical voice interrupted him.
