Chapter 386 Why Are the Staff Here Dressed So Indecently?
“I don’t want to go. I don’t know her,” Chloe protested, feeling uncomfortable with the idea, especially with Joseph present.
“It’s fine, she’s quite easy to get along with. Let’s go. I just helped you drive away that old man, so you can’t turn me down now,” Adam insisted, half pulling and half dragging Chloe
with him.
Alexander and Joseph had just concluded their conversation. Seated beside them was a meaty girl with fair skin, standing about 165 centimeters tall and weighing about 55 kilograms. Her complexion radiated a noble elegance and refinement, characteristic of a privileged upbringing.
Eleanor became nervous when she saw Chloe returning with Adam, intertwining her small hands together tightly and showing a vigilant expression.
There were two available seats in the room, one next to Adam and the other next to Joseph. To avoid arousing suspicion, Chloe opted for the latter. As she settled down beside him, he cast a glance at her, his deep eyes seemingly bottomless, piercing into her own. Chloe’s lips tightened, eager to speak, but he coldly averted his gaze before she could find the words. She chose to remain silent.
During the subsequent discussion, Alexander and Joseph delved into project matters. Chloe had no authority to intervene in such discussions, though Alexander occasionally sought her opinion, intentionally trying to involve her. Politely, she declined, acknowledging her lack of resources, connections, and qualifications to enter this circle at the present moment. Alexander looked at Joseph, who seemed to have no intention of helping Chloe, and did not say anything further.
The conversation continued for an hour, and besides being deliberately or unintentionally ignored by Joseph, Eleanor and Adam kept talking to her.

“I have this strange feeling that I’ve seen you somewhere before. You look a lot like someone I’ve met,” Eleanor remarked, holding her round face in her hands as she observed Chloe.
“Haha.” Chloe chuckled, unable to contain her amusement. “Lately, many people have been. telling me that I resemble someone else as if I have a face that’s quite common.”
“No, really! It’s Mr. Desmond Sullivan’s daughter. I’ve seen her pictures, and you look remarkably similar to her.”
Intrigued, Adam chimed in, “Do they really look alike?”
“Not exactly identical, but there are similarities in the eyebrows, eyes, and facial features,” Eleanor curiously inquired, “Is it possible that you’re distant relatives?”
‘Distant relatives.’ Chloe was taken aback. Her mother’s family name was Sullivan too. Could it
really be possible? She had instinctively dismissed the idea before, thinking that the Sullivans and herself were too distinct.
If there was any connection between her mother and the Sullivans, Benjamin would surely do everything possible to exploit her mother’s value, perhaps even delaying her mother’s death.
As Joseph listened, a sudden realization flashed through his mind. Calvin, Ava, the Sullivans, Noah. In the depths of his mind, it seemed like certain things were interconnected.
“You’re familiar with the Sullivans?” Joseph’s cool gaze locked onto Eleanor, his voice firm.
Caught off guard by his direct question, Eleanor stumbled over her words, “N-no, not really. I’ve only visited the Sullivans twice with my family.”

Her family had a fondness for gemstone ornaments and maintained some level of contact with the Sullivans.
Joseph turned his gaze away and replied with a faint “Hmm.” Since Eleanor claimed they were not familiar, he saw no reason to pursue the matter further.

Alexander promptly excused himself, intentionally leaving Chloe and Joseph alone. This frustrated Chloe a little. ‘Why does it feel like the whole world is trying to matchmake me and Joseph?’ she thought.
The staff members were preparing to escort them to the parking lot when Chloe interjected, ” I’ll just take a cab.”
The staff members hesitated, their eyes instinctively flickering toward the impassive man. Sensing his lack of intention to intervene, one of the staff members smiled at Chloe and said, Mr. Alexander is an esteemed VIP guest here, and we offer a special car service to our esteemed. guests. If you like, I can arrange a vehicle for you right away.”
“Thank you, that would be much appreciated.”
“Very well, please wait a moment.”
The staff relayed a few instructions into his walkie-talkie. Within a mere three minutes, a muscular young man arrived, holding a set of car keys. Sweat glistened on his body, and his well-defined abdominal muscles hinted at a physique reminiscent of a comic book hero.
“Hi miss, the car is waiting for you just ahead. Please provide me with your address, and I’ll ensure you arrive home safely.”
Chloe’s eyes briefly lingered on his abdominal muscles, but she quickly averted her gaze, slightly taken aback. She provided the muscular young man with her home address and readily followed him to the car.
But before she could even take a step, Joseph grabbed her wrist. Confused, she looked at him, wondering about his sudden action.
A sinister smile curved Joseph’s lips. “Why are the staff here dressed so indecently?”
‘Dumbo’s eyes were practically glued to that young man. What’s so captivating about a muscle head?’
