Don’t Lie to Me
Chloe had always been skilled at telling lies, and this time was no exception. She nodded, her lips
forming a playful pout as she said, “Alright, alright, I won’t leave you. Now let go. My chin’s starting to
hurt.”
Joseph kept his eyes locked on her, his hand showing no signs of loosening. Instead, his grip got even
tighter, causing his knuckles to pale slightly.
Feeling the searing pain in her chin, Chloe pushed against his chest, trying to put some space between
them. “It really hurts. If you don’t let go, I… mmm!”
Before she could finish her sentence, he abruptly leaned down and sealed her lips with his own. The
intensity of the kiss was anything but gentle, as if he desired to possess every inch of her, to claim her
completely.
Chloe found herself almost suffocating under the force of his kiss, barely managing to pull away. She
tried to resist him, but that only made Joseph more intense. His strong hand firmly held the back of her
head, leaving no room for escape. In the end, Chloe gave up trying to dodge and started to kiss him
back.
Joseph momentarily froze, his demeanor softening instantly.
Encouraged by this, Chloe took the lead and wrapped her arms around his neck, turning the tide in her
favor. Sure enough, he eased up, lightly kissing her lips and savoring the sweetness with gentleness.
Finally, Chloe had a chance to catch her breath, but her whole being was enveloped by a slow- burning
flame of desire, making even her breath feel hot. His slightly calloused hand moved to her waist,
skillfully slipping beneath her clothes, exploring the delicate skin beneath.
“Um… stop.” She managed to intervene in time, her cheeks blushing and her gaze firm.
Joseph stopped right there. Considering their location in the car by the roadside, he understood this
was not the right place. Instead, he held her face close, their foreheads touching intimately. His eyes
still had that burning desire as he said, “Promise me you won’t lie to me.”
Chloe’s heart skipped a beat. “Okay.”
After having a meal, Chloe returned to the office and held a meeting with her employees, fully
immersing herself in her work. She remained busy until the end of the day.
When she finally picked up her phone, she saw a text from Icarus, letting her know that he had settled
down in Ameria. She replied politely with a few sentences.
In truth, she regretted how things had turned out between her and Icarus. If things had not gone sour
from the beginning, she and Icarus could have become good friends.
After finishing work and getting back home, Chloe received an invitation to a jewelry fashion show. It
was sent by a designer from Exotic Star.
Basically, they wanted her to model Exotic Star’s jewelry on the runway. The pay was pretty good, but
she was afraid of wearing high heels. So, she tactfully inquired about the clothing and footwear
requirements.
Designer: [The clothing brand will be chosen by another department, but for this show, the models will
be barefoot. However, as our ambassador, you will be given the privilege of wearing shoes for the
grand finale.]
Chloe: [No, no, no, I can go barefoot too!]
Designer: [Alright, if you insist.]
The fashion show was tentatively scheduled at the end of the month, before Chloe’s baby bump would
become noticeable.
Money was not an issue for Chloe, but she saw these events as an opportunity to expand her network
and maybe score valuable resources for her office. In the business world, apart from talent and skills,
connections played a crucial role.
Docwood, the Sullivan estate.
Desmond waved a servant over to pour a drink and smiled at Joseph, inviting him to take a seat. “What
brings you here, Boy?”
Joseph kept his cool. “I’ve been thinking about renovating my house and heard you’ve hired a foreign
architect specifically for the renovations. I thought I might get some inspiration.”
“You want to take a look at my place?”
“Yes.”
“Alright then, have you built your own estate?” Desmond stood up and led him inside.
“Yes, it’s being built on the land between Cloude and Aesper.”
Joseph followed Desmond closely and casually remarked, “The designer I hired also happens to be a
Sullivan.”
“Oh? What’s their name? I might know them.”
