Chapter 305 She Didn’t Fit the Profile
Chloe took a deep breath. “I understand. Please, I’d like some time alone now.
After Jake left, she lay in bed. Tossing and turning, she could not fall asleep.
A young couple walked past the door of her ward. The man supported the woman who had just undergone surgery. He muttered endlessly in displeasure, but his tone was full of concern for
her.
Chloe blinked. She suddenly understood why she missed Joseph very much after she woke up. It was because, in the past half a year, Joseph would stay with her every time she got hurt and was hospitalized.
At that moment, Joseph might have just woken up and was on his way out for his morning run. Or, he might be with Xavia. They were having breakfast and chatting about their daily trifles.
Chloe suppressed the deep bitterness in her heart and pulled the blanket over her head. She then snuggled into bed and forced herself to sleep.
It was now morning but the people in the bar were having a frenzy with no concern for the time. Joseph had glasses of wine one after another. However, the strong wine failed to pacify the anger in his heart.
Nathan knitted his brows and pulled the bottle toward himself. “Aren’t you going to work today?”
Joseph ignored him, his gaze glued on a woman who was selling wine in the middle of the dance floor. Her figure and face were thin. At that time, she was dazedly looking at the various men in front of her with her charming eyes. Helplessly and timidly, she was promoting the
wine.
Nathan looked over and was stunned. “That young woman looks a little like Chloe.’
The bar owner, who was drinking with them, noticed that both of them were looking in the same direction. Hence, he asked flatteringly, “She’s new here. I’ll call her over and introduce you guys.”
The woman followed the boss and came over but did not dare to raise her head.
Joseph said, “Come here.”
The owner urged the girl to sit down beside Joseph. She then raised her head fearfully. When she saw his impeccably handsome face, she was dumbstruck and rosiness dawned on her face.
The owner urged her, “Don’t just sit there. Hurry up and serve Mr. Joseph wine.”
“Oh, okay…” She poured out a glass for him.
“Why do you work here?”
The woman’s eyes turned red as if her sore spot had been brought up. “I was cheated when I went looking for a job. I lost my identity card and bank card. I don’t have good academic qualifications either, so this place is my only option.”
Other men might feel sorry for her or even pity her when they heard this story but Joseph was bored. He parted his thin lips and uttered, “Fuck off.”
The woman gasped, not understanding where she had gone wrong. She cried softly in front of him, putting up a charmingly pitiful front. She was reluctant to give up such a rare chance.
The owner was also quite baffled. ‘Why is this man so unpredictable?’
Somberness then crept up Joseph’s countenance before Nathan stuffed a stack of cash into her hands. “Go. Don’t be foolish.”
The woman bit her lower lip and reluctantly returned to selling wine after she gained the cash. When she had left, Nathan leaned toward Joseph. “Don’t you think she looks a little like Chloe?
“Only in appearance. Chloe is smarter.”
Although he liked to call Chloe a dumbo, she was not foolish. On the contrary, she was an ambitious and strong woman. Of course, her shortcoming was her fickle attitude. She was thinking about other men when she was not single.
Nathan found it hard to understand Joseph’s thoughts. “Do you dislike that girl who sells wine just because she’s dumb?”
Joseph shot him a sidelong glance. “If she was smart, would she have been cheated when looking for a job? Doesn’t she know how to differentiate between right and wrong?”
Speechless overwhelmed Nathan.
‘I get it now. It’s because she didn’t fit the profile. Very well, I’ll get him a woman who’s like Chloe in terms of appearance, character, and intelligence.’
“Mr. Joseph, that woman has fainted. Should we continue?”
