Chapter 289 If I’m Heartless, How Did You Deceive Me?

Lucas displayed little surprise upon seeing Chloe as he had anticipated the hesitancy of the marketing department colleagues who had been tormented in recent days.

“Mr. Joseph is currently available. You may enter.”

She silently pushed the door open and placed the documents on Joseph’s desk. Her tone was respectful yet distant as she spoke, “Mr. Joseph, the documents have been processed. Please. review them.”

Joseph’s gaze remained fixed on his computer screen and his lips remained motionless, treating her as if she were mere air.

Joseph smirked slightly, his response dripping with sarcasm. “Almost done.”
