Jojo and Coco’s Unexpected Love By Aurora Summers

Chapter 17 Chloe the Homewrecker  Finding a young and resilient person with a C2 certification in Estrenian was not easy these days, as many young people tend to quit their jobs at the slightest difficulty and value their freedom greatly. Perhaps Joseph was just cherishing talent? William was leisurely sipping on a coffee in his office when he received notice of his dismissal. The HR manager placed the termination letter in front of him, and it took him a while to realize what was happening. “Are you kidding me? I’ve been with Fairlight for fifteen years, and I’m being fired just like that?!” William shouted. The HR manager had harbored resentment toward William for quite some time. His smirk conveyed a sense of satisfaction as he said, “I’m not responsible for this decision. It was made by the CEO.” William’s spirits plummeted as he spoke, “You may dismiss me but I demand an explanation and compensation.” “There’s no compensation,” the manager chuckled. “As for the reason, I’m not quite sure. But many things don’t have a reason. Like that low score you gave that interviewee today who had a C2 proficiency in Estrenian.” William froze and his face turned pale. It was only now that he realized Chloe had someone to back her up. His face turned sour and started packing his things. As the HR manager was leaving, he pretended to remember something and said, “By the way, tell your niece that she doesn’t need to come tomorrow.” Meanwhile, Melody was at home, happily picking out clothes to wear on her first day of work. She tried on one after another and struck poses in front of the mirror. While she was in the midst of changing into another dress, she received a call from William. “What? But you’ve been with Fairlight for so long. How could they fire you just like that? “We’re just normal friends. She doesn’t have anyone to back her up. I’m telling you the truth. “Uncle William, I’m not lying! Please let me explain! Wait! Don’t hang up!” William ignored her and hung up the call. When she tried to call him back, she found that her number had been blacklisted. Melody threw all of her expensive clothes on the floor in anger. Then, in a fit of rage, she went to find Ava who was on a date with Jake. The two were enjoying a candlelit dinner together, basking in each other’s company. Ava put down her cutlery and asked with a puzzled look, “What’s the matter? What’s got you so riled up?” Melody glanced at Jake and restrained her anger. “Can you come with me for a moment, Ava?” “Go with her. I’ll cut your steak for you. You can eat it when you get back,” Jake said with a gentle smile. Ava blushed and nodded obediently. “Your uncle was fired because of that b*tch?!” Ava’s voice suddenly rose. Realizing that Jake was still nearby, she lowered her voice and asked, “Are you sure it’s not because of some other reason?” Melody became livid. “What do you mean? Do you think I have nothing better to do than to lie to you?” “No, that’s not what I meant…” Ava comforted her. Suddenly, a thought struck her and her heart sank. “I saw her riding in a Rolls–Royce last time. Could the owner of that car be involved?” “Definitely. Her mother died early, her father doesn’t like her, and she’s got no one to rely on. Without an old man to support her, how could she have gotten my uncle fired?” Melody replied. Melody was well aware of Chloe’s status in the Johnson family. That was why she was so willing to take Ava’s side. Ava clenched her fists. The unknown man behind this must have significant wealth or influence to be able to pressure the CEO of Fairlight into firing Melody’s uncle. The thought of Chloe relying on an older man and trampling on her in the future was unbearable to her. “Say something! You have to help me, Ava…” Melody urged impatiently. Ava’s eyes flickered and a strange smile appeared on her face. “The man driving the Rolls- Royce is quite old. He must be married. If their affair gets exposed, do you think he’ll still care about that b*tch?”

Chapter 16 Tell Him to Get Out  Lucas remembered that HR was holding an interview. He assumed that this was the resume of someone who had failed to pass. Just as he was about to toss the resume in the bin, he was suddenly stopped in his tracks. “Hold on.” Upon hearing the familiar name on the resume, Joseph furrowed his brows and reached out to take it from Lucas. At the top floor of the building, the HR manager nervously handed over a stack of interviewee information forms to the CEO’s assistant. Lucas took them and pushed open the door to the office. The HR manager strained to get a look but did not manage to see anything and left disappointed. “Find out more about this person named Chloe Johnson,” Joseph ordered emotionlessly. “Right away, sir,” Lucas replied, and within ten minutes, he had found Chloe’s information. ” Mr. Joseph, here’s her information. She was rejected in the first round.” “Given her qualifications, that shouldn’t have happened,” Joseph said as he laid the previously crumpled resume flat on his desk. “She has level C2 proficiency in Estrenian. It’s impossible for her to fail the written test!” Lucas exclaimed. Those who passed the C2 examination were generally over thirty years old, but Chloe looked no more than twenty–four. This young talent was exactly what Fairlight needed right now. Joseph tapped his fingers rhythmically on the desk, sinking deep into his thoughts. He found himself pondering if such a coincidence could actually occur in this world. There were individuals who might never cross paths their entire lives. Yet, in just four short days, he had met Chloe, married her, and now she was attending a job interview at his company. ‘Does she really not have any ulterior motives?‘ Lucas had been observing Joseph closely, but could not quite figure out his boss’s thoughts. He carefully suggested, “Mr. Johnson, should we investigate this further?” “Yes,” Joseph interlaced his fingers and placed them on his chest, pausing for a moment before saying, “Also find out why she didn’t pass the written test.” At four in the afternoon, Lucas had completed both tasks. “There’s nothing wrong with Ms. Chloe’s background. She’s the daughter of a small company owner in Aesper. However, her deceased mother’s background is a bit strange. I can’t find anything about her prior to her marriage.” Lucas hesitated before continuing, “As for why she didn’t pass the written test today, it’s a bit complicated…” Joseph looked up and said, “Go on.” Lucas recounted the conflict that had occurred between Chloe and William earlier in the afternoon, as well as the fact that Melody was William’s niece. T “Taking advantage of his power, William brought in five of his relatives into headquarters and arranged for them relatively easy positions. This time, there was only one vacancy for the Estrenian translator position. After disqualifying Ms. Chloe, Wiliam informed the remaining qualified candidates in the same way that they didn’t pass the interview. In the end, only Melody made it through, and HR has already confirmed that she’ll be starting work at Fairlight starting tomorrow.” Lucas explained the situation while observing Joseph’s reaction. Fairlight’s headquarters had been overseas for the past few years, with only one branch located in Aesper. After Joseph took over the Aesper branch, he focused on projects within the country. Last month, the branch merged with headquarters. William was one of the old employees of the Aesper branch. “Tell him to pack his things and get out,” Joseph ordered coldly as he stood up. “What about his relatives?” Lucas asked. “Fire them all as well.” Joseph walked to the floor–to–ceiling window that overlooked the bustling traffic below, his eyes radiating a dark light. “Notify HR that all interviewees who did not pass today will be given another chance.” Lucas complied but he could not help but wonder. Joseph had always been impartial but had now broken the rules for this woman named Chloe. What was their relationship?

Chapter 15 I’m Not Scared of You Since I Have Nothing to LoseThe interview began with a written test, followed by a face-to-face interview.Chloe excelled in the written test and submitted her paper confidently. As she was leaving, she noticed that there were many blanks on Melody’s test paper. However, Melody was calmly admiring her

Chapter 14 Not Just Anyone Can Work at Fairlight Joseph looked at her coldly and replied, “No.”  “Okay…” Chloe did not dwell on the matter too much, thinking that she must have been hearing things. “Are all your clothes this revealing?” Joseph suddenly asked in a cold voice. Perplexed, she looked down at her nightgown,

Chapter 13 Mystery Man Emily’s shoulders slumped as she said, “I’m sorry, Coco. There’s only one position that’s suitable for you and we just filled it today.  “But the headquarters of Fairlight has moved to our country, and it’s not far from here. I read online that they’re recruiting an Estrenian translation specialist. Your Estrenian

Chapter 12 We Just Got Our Marriage Certificate Yesterday Ava’s eyes lit up when she heard what Chloe said.  However, she suppressed her excitement and stepped forward to stop her. “Coco, don’t be so impulsive. This is your home. Where will you go if you quit? “I have some savings. I’ll give you my bank

Chapter 11 I Might as Well Quit Chloe was seething with anger.  Her emotions had reached their boiling point after days of being suppressed, and the pent-up frustration in her chest made it hard for her to breathe. She had been working tirelessly overseas, putting in long hours and negotiating deal after deal, yet not

Chapter 10 Loving Father and Filial Daughter There was a pause on the other end of the line before Benjamin angrily rebuked, “When did I ever ask you to sleep with him? If you can’t handle the project, don’t make excuses to avoid responsibility!”  Chloe frowned and replied, “I didn’t. He was the one who

Chapter 9 You Want Me to Sleep With You? Nathan stroked his chin and glanced at Joseph standing beside him.  “Do you know her?” he asked. “Yeah,” Joseph replied noncommittally. “So, what are you waiting for? Go be the hero and save the damsel in distress,” Nathan teased playfully, “Can you stand watching a weak

Chapter 8 Health Is Wealth Joseph watched Chloe trying to make excuses for him despite her pain. His gaze deepened, but no one could tell what he was thinking.  Upon hearing this, the doctor looked at Chloe disapprovingly and said, “What’s more important? Work or your health? Don’t you know that health is wealth?” “You’re
