Chapter 402 His Superiority Appears Glorious
“I’ve been busy with work,” Joseph explained helplessly.
Nathan echoed his words. “Yes, I can vouch for that. I called Joe several times yesterday but he didn’t pick up.”
Lucas came in with drinks. “Mr. Joseph’s been burning the midnight oil for several days. His subordinates have also
been working overtime for a week”
Chloe now realized that Joseph’s face appeared slightly haggard and there were light circles under his eyes. She
whispered, “Okay. Go to Tyson when you’re free.”
Joseph looked up but was displeased with her attitude. She had not inquired about his well-being. But the words he
uttered changed at the last minute. “Why didn’t you go and see Toto?”
“But I did.” Chloe became grumpy. “How else could I have gotten the fruit knife? Do I have to inform you every time
I go there?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJoseph frowned and looked at Lucas.
Lucas smiled bitterly. ‘Mr. Joseph, you ordered me not to contact Ms. Chloe.”
But he did not dare to reveal that. Someone had to take the blame.
“Shall we go for lunch together?” Nathan tried to mediate the situation as he nudged Chloe with his elbow.
“No, I need to go back to the office.”
“Do you want to cease being my friend, Chloe?” Nathan appeared hurt. “I wanted to talk business with you, but let’s
just forget it if that’s the case.”
Chloe’s eyes lit up. “Business? What kind of business?”
“Let’s talk about it over lunch?”
“Sure.”
The previous unfinished project had exhausted too much money and manpower. Although Chloe’s company would
not go bankrupt, it was still a large loss. It would take at least a year before the situation recovered. That was why
she had been on business trips-to secure cooperation and earn more money.
Nathan smiled cunningly before he winked at Joseph. ‘You owe me a favor.’
They went to a restaurant downstairs. Chloe and Joseph had gone there when they were still dating. Inevitably, they
reminisce about their past when they were there again.
Nathan handed Chloe the menu. “I’ll let you guys order. I’m not very hungry.”
“Okay. How about you, Joe?”
“Whatever.”
It was proved that Nathan had a deep understanding of women. All the dishes he would order were bland but
delicate food. Women who watched their weight liked these kinds of dishes. But
Chloe was no such woman. She wanted delicious food instead of pretty food. Although the lighter food tasted fine,
she disliked them.
Before all the dishes were served, Chloe stopped eating after taking a few bites. Joseph noticed this. He slowly

Nathan sighed. “Joe has it tough. Not only does he have to manage Fairlight well, but he has to watch over the
Whitman Group at the same time. You met Jonathan and his family, right? Well, it’s hard to put into words…”
Chloe lowered her eyes.
‘I’m aware. All the Whitmans are troublemakers. They rely on the achievements accumulated by their ancestors
and lead an extravagant life. Joseph has a high position. It seems glorious, but only the people around him will know
how hard it is for him.’
“Okay, let’s eat.”
“Hmm…”
The silence lasted only for a few seconds before Chloe asked, “What’s the business you have in mind?”
“Do you remember a real estate boss with the surname of Reese? You guys met at the Sullivans’ house garden.”
“Yes, I do.”
It was that guy who told her that something might happen at the construction site, and it had indeed happened.
“Well, that’s my father.”
