Since When Do You Eat Leftover Pasta?
Emily could not comprehend the absurdity of her mother’s demand for Chloe to take responsibility. It
seemed like a shameless ploy.
“Mom, Dad, I’m begging you. Please don’t make things worse for me. It was my mistake. I shouldn’t
have trusted that jerk.”
“Shut up!” Lina retorted in a low voice, “Can’t you see how fiercely Chloe’s boss is protecting her?
There must be some hidden connection between them, which means we should demand proper
compensation for the harm they’ve caused us.
Despite Lucas‘ thorough explanation, Lina remained unwavering in her belief that Chloe was to blame
for her daughter’s situation. She insisted on seeking compensation from Chloe, and if monetary
compensation was not given, she hoped at least for her daughter to be offered a job in their company
as reparation. In Lina’s eyes, this office appeared larger and more prestigious than Emily’s current
workplace.
“You’re just embarrassing me further!” Emily shouted. She was overwhelmed with a sense of shame
and guilt. Fueled by her fury, she left her parents behind and stormed out of the meeting room. Without
her presence, Chloe could now handle the situation without having to take her feelings into
consideration.
Joseph turned to Chloe and said, “Let’s leave as well.”
Chloe hesitated for a moment, but she decided to ignore Emily’s parents.
To their surprise, Lina stepped forward and tightly grasped
||
Chloe’s sleeve, declaring fiercely, “You’re not going anywhere! You have to give us a proper
explanation, or else, I won’t let you leave!”
Joseph turned around, his gaze icy and piercing, sending a shiver down Lina’s spine. Her hand
trembled, and she released her grip on Chloe. Swallowing nervously, she said, “I… As parents, is it
wrong for us to seek justice for our daughter?”
“Seeking justice isn’t wrong, but you’re placing all the blame on my people, and that’s something you
should never do,” Joseph responded firmly.
“If it weren’t for Chloe, those photos wouldn’t have ended up in Ava’s hands,” Nelson argued defiantly.
“Yes, they wouldn’t have ended up with Ava, but they would’ve spread throughout Aesper,” Joseph
calmly stated, emphasizing each word. “If it weren’t for Chloe’s quick action to report and prevent the
photos from circulating, you
wouldn’t have learned about this through Ava. She chose not to argue with you because you’re Emily’s
parents. Chloe didn’t want to hurt you, yet you still have the audacity to try to take advantage of her.”
Lina and Nelson were left feeling utterly ashamed and
embarrassed, their faces flushed crimson. They could not find a single word to retort.
Chloe gazed blankly at Joseph, her eyes briefly filled with intense sorrow. She felt both sympathy and
guilt toward Emily, but the way Emily’s parents spoke to her broke her heart.
Joseph saw through her unhappiness and was willing to protect her and even stand up for her. Apart
from being
touched, she truly had a fleeting moment of wanting to commit to this man and spend her whole life
with him.
Lucas looked at the peculiar parents and promptly gave them the order to leave. They slinked away
with their heads hung low before the security could arrive.
“Next time, don’t show mercy to anyone and boldly fight back, ” Joseph reached out and pinched
Chloe’s cheek. “Do you hear me, dumbo?“!
Chloe pressed her lips together. “But they’re Emily’s parents. I don’t want…”
Emily was her best friend. She had done more than just accompany her.
Joseph furrowed his brows. “Then when encountering such situations in the future, just let Lucas
handle it.”
“Okay.” Chloe softly nodded, her bright almond eyes shimmering with a peculiar glint. She felt that
Joseph was exceptionally handsome. Normally, she was quick–witted with a sharp tongue, but when it
came to expressing genuine emotions, she was tongue–tied.
Meanwhile, Lucas was speechless. ‘Seriously? You’re leaving all the mess for me to handle while you
enjoy yourself?‘
In the afternoon, Chloe texted Emily and learned that she had taken a temporary leave from her work
and was staying at a hotel. This brought some relief to her.
[Chloe, the things Ava sent over, I’ll give them to you another day. They’re still with my parents.]
[Okay. No rush.]

Feeling a bit hungry since she had not eaten anything at noon, Chloe went downstairs to buy some
food. She thought that Joseph might also be hungry, so she bought an extra portion to bring to him.
Upon reaching Joseph’s office, Chloe spotted a man casually dressed in sportswear waiting by the
entrance. He seemed to be around Joseph’s age. He possessed captivating eyes,
accompanied by faint dark circles, exuding an air of a carefree playboy.
After politely acknowledging him with a nod, Chloe proceeded directly into Joseph’s office, leaving
Nathan astonished in her
wake.
‘What’s the meaning of this? Why do I have to wait on Joe while she can just walk in there?‘ Nathan
protested internally, feeling aggrieved. ‘Isn’t this pure favoritism based on gender?‘
Unwilling to accept it, Nathan followed Chloe into the office. At that moment, Joseph had just finished a
video conference.
“I bought some food and brought you some,” said Chloe as she placed the takeout box on the coffee
table.
Nathan cast an incredulous glance at the offering, expressing his skepticism. “Pasta Frittata? Isn’t this
made from leftover pasta?”
‘Joe holds high standards when it came to food. Why would he ever eat something like that?‘
Chloe blinked. “Yeah, you’re right.”
Nathan looked at her sympathetically. It seemed to her that
this poor girl was going to get a scolding from Joseph soon.
“Leave it there. I’ll eat it later,” Joseph responded to Chloe while flipping through the documents on his
desk. He was indeed feeling a bit hungry now since he had not eaten lunch.
“Since when did you start eating leftover pasta, Joe?” Nathan could not help but express his confusion,
wearing a bewildered expression on his face.
“You’re being quite noisy, you know?” Joseph retorted.
Observing Nathan’s interaction with Joseph, Chloe realized that he was Joseph’s friend. Sporting a
warm smile, she explained, “Jojo is accustomed to the food I cook. I didn’t cook today, but there’s a
restaurant downstairs that makes Pasta Frittata similar in taste to the one I make.”
