Chapter 276 I’m Fine

Chloe suppressed her shivers and felt her face heating up.

“I’m… I’m fine,” she managed to reply.

Upon hearing her response, Joseph mischievously placed his other hand on her waist, slowly moving it upward while increasing the intensity of his kiss. Her delicate skin tingled at his touch, turning red and purplish under his lips.

“Are you sure you’re okay? Your face suddenly turned red… Are you having a fever?” her colleague hesitated and expressed concern.

Feeling a sharp pain on the back of her neck, Chloe could not help but let out a groan. Both she and her colleague froze.

Chloe closed her eyes in embarrassment, wishing she could find a hole to hide in. ‘Damnit! What the hell was that? Why would such a sound come out of my mouth? I felt a pain, and that came out of my mouth?! People might think I’m having sex right now!

Her colleague’s face also turned red. Feeling a little scared, she stumbled for an excuse before hurrying away.

Watching her colleague disappear from sight, Chloe pushed away the man behind her and exclaimed, “What the hell were you doing?! Do you have any idea how embarrassing that was?! She might think something’s wrong with me!”

Joseph gazed at the hickeys on her neck, which stood out prominently against her fair skin. A smirk formed at the corner of his mouth as he said, “You’re making me state the obvious. Do you want to go for another round?!

“No!” Chloe angrily grabbed her phone from the sofa. “I’m going to join my colleagues now. Goodbye!”

The workers were free to engage in any activities they wanted for the whole afternoon and would only gather for dinner in the evening. When Chloe arrived at the game room, her colleagues looked at her with peculiar expressions. She felt strange and wondered if someone had been talking about her behind her back again.
