In the car, Sarah continued to curse and berate the poor response she received from Joe. She didn't think that a man could ignore her powerful charms. "I think that guy is gay," Sarah said suddenly. Moss, who had been driving, was slightly disturbed by his boss's words."Mr. Joe can't be gay, Miss. He's married, and his relationship with his wife has been fine up until now. The two of them even seem to be getting more romantic these days," Moss stated. Sarah snorted, and with a single motion, she hit Moss on the head. That, of course, surprised the man because no one had ever hit his head. "Watch your language. My ears will burst when I hear you complimenting the wife of the man I'm currently eyeing," Sarah snarled. "I'm sorry, Miss. I didn't mean to offend you. I'm just explaining what happened," Moss explained while keeping his tone soft in her boss's ears."Whatever. I don't care about their relationship because the most important thing for me right now is to get Joe and make
"As your subordinate, you should be supporting me to meet Joe quickly, not pulling me away from there by dragging me like an animal," Sarah growled. She did not like the way Moss had acted. Although it had been an hour since they left SkyLand Company, Sarah's expression had not changed at all. She still looked at Moss with an angry gaze. "Looks like you need to be educated even harder, so that you can follow my every order without arguing, including not treating me with disrespect like earlier," Sarah said, surprising Moss. "I'm sorry, Miss. Don't hurt me. I promise, I won't make that mistake again. I was forced to pull you out, so as not to make a scene in there that would cause Mr. Joe to be unwilling to cooperate with you," Moss pleaded softly. "If this cooperation is not established, then you will also not have the opportunity to approach Mr. Joe," he continued.Sarah snorted. She realized that what Moss said was the absolute truth that could not be contested, but she still did
"Just like your waitress said. We met when she applied for a job at my place. She also brought along her husband and mother-in-law," lied Joe. "Is that so?" asked Lucas. "Yes." Joe nodded. "What kind of answer did you expect?" he asked. Lucas shook his head, then laughed awkwardly. "No, I wasn't. I'm just a bit puzzled that you still remember who came to see you. If I were you, I wouldn't be able to remember who met me a few months ago," he joked. "I think you should eat more food that can help strengthen your memory, haha," Joe replied. He was trying to break the awkward atmosphere after Noona's departure. "Yes, you should do the same, Joe. Don't forget you have a wife now because your memory is weakened a few years later." Lucas patted Joe's shoulder, and he was pretty amused by the conversation started by the man. After being at Lucas' house for a while, Joe said goodbye and went home because he had an appointment to accompany Jesslyn to lunch at their apartment.Lucas stared
"It's great that you can meet in person. I hope my daughter can learn directly from Mr. Joe because this is the first time she strongly intends to enter the business world," Oddie hoped. "Your daughter can certainly develop the business she runs well, and I think she already has an excellent mentor, even better than me, namely yourself," Joe retorted. Oddie chuckled at Joe's rebuttal. "I can't teach her to the fullest, Mr. Joe. You must know that I can't be strict if she makes a mistake because I love her too much and always treat her gently." "So?" Joe asked the gist of the conversation Oddie was building. He was able to catch the real purpose of the discussion. "I hope, Mr. Joe, you can guide my daughter to be as successful as you. Right now, she's taken over the ownership of the aiLo Company, which used to be owned by Aaron, her ex-boyfriend. Maybe you can allow my daughter to work with you," Oddie offered. "As for the ownership of aiLo Company, everything has already been tran
Sarah's efforts to approach Joe were not limited to asking Oddie for help, she also deliberately approached Jesslyn so that her path to having Joe could run more smoothly. "You said, we have guests tonight?" asked Joe while removing the tie that felt strangling his neck. "Yes, my friend is coming over tonight for dinner. Do you mind?" asked Jesslyn. "No, I don't. In that case, I'll be in the study while you guys have fun." Jesslyn smiled happily. "Thank you, sweetheart. I'm sorry I didn't ask your permission first," she said. "No problem. Didn't I tell you from the beginning, that you can do whatever you want, as long as you don't put yourself in danger." Joe dialogued, he looked deeply at his wife and then gave her a peck. "Regarding the dinner menu, are you going to cook? Or just order from outside?" he asked."The two of us will be cooking together. So, my friend will probably be in our apartment for a while." "You can do whatever you want all night, I won't forbid it. I also
"What?" Jesslyn looked at Sarah in confusion. "My husband?" The woman parroted, pointing at herself. Seeing Jesslyn's expression change and look suspicious of her, Sarah instantly realized her stupidity. If only there were a door belonging to Doraemon, she would have loved to get out of there without having to answer any questions from Jesslyn. "Yes... you said you were married, right?" Sarah concluded. "It's time for the office workers to go home, so I was a little surprised not to see anyone in your apartment," she shrugged. She tried to change the subject to quell her interlocutor's suspicions. "I see. My husband is in his room, and he's busy," Jesslyn replied while pointing to one of the doors in the apartment. Inside the room, Joe, who had been eavesdropping, stroked his chest slowly while exhaling his breath in relief. "Luckily, I went straight into this room instead of waiting for the guest Jesslyn was waiting for. If Sarah had seen or met me, she would have done many more
Joe was curled up in his blanket. His eyes hadn't been able to close since last night, and only now was he able to fall asleep just as the clock struck four in the morning. "Joe, wake up. Aren't you working?" Jesslyn gently shook her husband's body. "Hm?" Joe mumbled, his eyes still feeling heavy and as if they were clinging so tightly that they couldn't open. "Yes?" he replied hoarsely. "Aren't you working today? It's 7am now," Jesslyn replied. The statement made by his wife was like water splashing over his entire body until Joe gasped in shock and immediately opened his eyes. "What?!" Joe glared, his eyes moving from looking at his wife who looked shocked by his shout, to the digital clock that was located right beside the bed. "It's already 7:00 am?" beamed Joe. "Yes, it's already 7am. I've been trying to wake you up since an hour ago, but you didn't respond at all. Do you have today off to be this relaxed?" asked Jesslyn.Suddenly, Joe shook his head. "I have an important m
"Them again," Joe growled, silently crumpling the paper inside the box, the paper containing the crest of the most famous and mysterious family in the country. "Sir? Are you all right?" Cristine asked, afraid she had made a mistake, especially when she saw the boss's angry expression. "No, I'm not. Let's get out of here," Joe said. Hurrying, he walked ahead of Cristine and got into the car parked neatly in front of the restaurant. While waiting for his secretary, who had been left behind, he looked back at the wad of paper still in his hand. "What else do you want, huh? Aren't you satisfied with destroying me yet?" he scolded."Hurry up, Cristine!" called Joe, half shouting as his secretary was still far behind. "Sorry, sir." Cristine bowed her head slightly before getting into the car. "Someone stopped me while catching up with you, so I'm quite far behind," she explained. "Hmm," Joe responded flatly.They left the restaurant, heading to SkyLand Company to continue their pending
