Chapter 729 That’s Unfair, Frieda

Michael was attending a variety show when this news came out. His agent urgently halted thefilming and pulled him backstage. "Have you offended anyone recently? Someone is out to get you."

"No, I get along well with people. You know that. Who would want to target me? Are you sure you'vegot the right person?"

"Bullshit! It's all over the Internet right now!" his agent retorted.

Michael was taken aback. "Let me see."

He showed Michael the blurry photos and the article. Michael took a closer look and said, "Damn it!That guy isn't me!"

"I know it isn’t, but the guy in the photos looks similar to you. That's why I said someone hasdeliberately set you up. Can you remember who you offended? We need to visit and apologize tothem to resolve this scandal."

Dumbfounded, Michael said, "I really haven't offended anyone. Who should I apologize to?"

"I'll give you some time to think while I investigate who’s behind this. This news was released byseveral major entertainment companies simultaneously. In other words, the person behind it ispowerful. We can't confront them directly, so it's best to handle it privately."

Feeling annoyed and worried about the negative impact on Chloe's company, Michael thoughtcarefully and finally composed an apology message for her.

Chloe was swamped with work and did not have time to check her phone. In the evening, the entiredepartment stayed behind for overtime, and Noah was out entertaining a client. Chloe did not even

have time to have dinner, and her stomach rumbled several times. When her colleague offered tohelp order food, Frieda put aside her work and quietly left the office.

In less than ten minutes, she returned with a warm takeaway box and placed it quietly on Chloe'sdesk. "Eat. This is the only food the convenience store downstairs had left."

Chloe was smart and could sense the subtle change in Frieda's attitude. If the incident in therestaurant before was considered a coincidence, this was definitely not. However, she had justtaken on her new responsibilities and had many tasks to handle, not leaving her much spare time tointeract with Frieda. She did not give her any special treatment even though Frieda was the topsalesperson.

Thinking that Chloe did not like the food, Frieda said, "I have some snacks in my drawer. I’ll getthem for you."

"No, it's okay. This is enough."

Chloe quickly shook her head and opened the box, devouring the food inside. It was just a simplemeal, but she looked as if she was enjoying a delicious feast, and her colleagues became hungryjust watching her eat.

"That's unfair, Frieda. We all haven't eaten."

"Yeah, we're starving."

"Ah, our top salesperson is so smart. She always gives us the cold shoulder, yet she's so nice to themanager."

Chloe glared at them and said, "Enough nonsense. If you're hungry, go home. Everyone hasworked hard today. I'll treat you all to coffee and snacks tomorrow."

Everyone stopped teasing Frieda. They all packed up their stuff and headed home. Chloe, too, shutdown her computer and grabbed her bag before heading downstairs. It was almost 9 now, and therewere only a few people left on the streets.

Chloe tightened her collar and walked toward the parking garage.

"Ms. Chloe."

She heard someone calling her and stopped in her tracks. She turned and saw Lucas coming out ofa black sedan. He approached her and said respectfully, "Ms. Chloe, Mr. Joseph asked me to pickyou up to make a late-night snack tonight."

Chloe looked at him and said, "Do you hear what you're saying? Is it appropriate to ask me to go tohis place so late at night every time?"

Lucas smiled awkwardly. "Mr. Jasper went out with his classmates today and came home late, soMr. Joseph would like you to make some food for him."
