Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love

Chapter 52

Chapter 52 First Date

Chloe fell into momentary silence, unsure of how to reject the task.

Sensing her hesitation, her superior tried to ease her worries by saying, “No worries. Take your time to think about it. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. I’ve met Mr. Jack a couple of times and he’s kind of scared of his wife. Other than exchanging

resources, you won’t have to do anything else.”

“But does Fairlight agree with this kind of behavior?” Chloe asked, aware of the competitive relationship and differences between Baxon and Fairlight.

“Well, that’s precisely why we’re sending you,” her superior replied.

“I see. I’ll think about it,” Chloe said.

After work, Chloe got off the bus. As she was lost in thought, she did not notice a car pull up beside her.

“Chloe?” Joseph called out from the driver’s seat.

She turned around, surprised at the sight of him next to her. But her face lit up with a smile the second.

“Are you off work too?” she asked.

“Yeah,” he replied with a raised eyebrow. “Get in.”

“Okay,” Chloe said, thinking that they were heading home. But instead, the car drove past their house.

“Where are we going?” she asked.

“Where do you want to go?” Joseph replied.

“Huh?” Chloe was confused and pointed to herself. “You’re the one who picked me up but you’re asking me where I want to go?”

“Grandpa knows that you’ve been working overtime a lot and told me to take you out shopping,” Joseph replied, helplessness thick in his voice.

Harold had nagged him multiple times now, and it was getting unbearable. If he did not take Chloe out, Harold would definitely kill him.

Chloe paused, remembering the work-related posts she had forgotten to hide from

Harold.

“Wow, your grandpa is so kind to me,” she said, blushing.

This was her first time going on a date with Joseph, and she could not believe how lucky

she was.

Joseph glanced at the woman. With rosy cheeks and sparkling eyes, she was clearly excited about their upcoming plans. He could not help but wonder aloud, “Do all women love shopping this much?”

As soon as the topic of shopping was brought up, her spirits lifted considerably, even more than when she was earning money.

“Hehe, it’s mostly because I get to shop with you. This is our first date, after all!” Chloe said, her eyes shining brightly like flawless glass. A shy expression graced her features like a college girl meeting her crush for the first time.

She was truly enchanting.

Joseph’s lips curved into a pleased smile. While he was annoyed by Harold’s repeated nagging, if it made Chloe this happy, he was willing to take some time out of his busy

schedule to take her.

“We’ll go shopping first, then have some food, see a movie, and play some claw

machines. What do you think?” Chloe said eagerly, smiling up at him for his opinion.

“No, that won’t do,” Joseph refused without hesitation. “There are too many activities.

We’ll have to choose two out of the four.” From NôvelDrama.Org.

Chloe checked the time. It was already half past six in the evening. She searched online and found that there had been no good movies playing recently.

“Then let’s just go shopping and eat. Summer’s here, and I’d like to get some pretty pajamas,” she suggested.

“And you also need some cosmetics, right? I’ll pay for them,” Joseph added.

Chloe usually applied makeup in her bedroom, thus he did not know what brands she used. He had heard that using random cosmetics could cause skin allergies, so he had not bought any for her.

“Okay! Thank you so much, Jojo.” Her eyes turned into crescent moons as she beamed and revealed a neat row of pearly whites.

Joseph drove to a high-end mall and parked his car at the entrance.

Inside the mall, Chloe went to a cosmetics counter and picked out some daily-use makeup and lipstick. When Joseph was paying for the items, the salesgirl could barely hide her envy.

Before they left, the salesgirl even proactively gave Chloe countless samples, almost as many as her formal purchases.

Chloe felt a sense of satisfaction and a little self-pride. It turned out that relying on one’s appearance could really make someone a living!

“Wait here for a moment. I need to hit the restroom,” Joseph said.

“Hmm, okay.” Chloe obediently nodded.

She walked around the nearby clothing stores carrying her newly purchased cosmetics. A sapphire dress then caught her eye and she walked into the store.

The store’s saleswoman immediately noticed her gaze.

“Miss, would you like to try it on? Your skin is fair and you have a great figure. This dress will definitely suit you very much.”

Chloe looked at the time and figured that Joseph would not be back so soon.

She said, “Sure, I’ll try it on.”

When Chloe stepped out of the fitting room, the saleswoman could not take her eyes off her as she sincerely complimented, “Miss, you look beautiful in this dress. You’re even more beautiful than the biggest celebrities.”

Chloe looked at herself in the mirror and was quite satisfied with the dress. It was only when she was about to pay that she realized this store was a luxury goods store and the dress was a couture piece priced at 70,000 dollars.

She promptly decided not to buy it.

The saleswoman tried to persuade her, “Miss, please reconsider. There are only two of these dresses in the entire city, and the brand is very picky about who wears them. You’re the first customer who has managed to pull it off.”

“She doesn’t have the money. No matter how much you try to persuade her, it’s useless, “a sharp voice said.

Chloe followed the voice and saw Melody and Ava walking in with an air of arrogance.
