Chapter 729 That's Unfair, Frieda
Michael was attending a variety show when this news cout. His agent urgently halted the filming and pulled
him backstage. "Have you offended anyone recently? Someone is out to get you."
"No, | get along well with people. You know that. Who would want to target me? Are you sure you've got the right
person?"
"Bullshit! It's all over the Interight now!" his agent retorted.
Michael was taken aback. "Letsee."
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 | said someone has deliberately set you
up. Can you remember who you offended? We need to visit and apologize to them to resolve this scandal."
Dumbfounded, Michael said, "I really haven't offended anyone. Who should | apologize to?"
"I'll give you stto think while | investigate who's behind this. This news was released by several major
entertainment companies simultaneously. In other words, the person behind it is powerful. 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 thought carefully and
finally composed an apology message for her.

Chloe was swamped with work and did not have tto check her phone. In the evening, the entire department
stayed behind for overtime, and Noah was out entertaining a client. Chloe did not even
have tto have dinner, and her stomach rumbled several times. When her colleague offered to help 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's desk. "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 the restaurant before
was considered a coincidence, this was definitely not. However, she had just taken on her new responsibilities
and had many tasks to handle, not leaving her much spare tto interact with Frieda. She did not give her any
special treatment even though Frieda was the top salesperson.
Thinking that Chloe did not like the food, Frieda said, "I have ssnacks in my drawer. I'll get them 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 simple meal, but she
looked as if she was enjoying a delicious feast, and her colleagues bechungry just 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 the manager."
Chloe glared at them and said, "Enough nonsense. If you're hungry, go home. Everyone has worked 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, shut down her
computer and grabbed her bag before heading downstairs. It was almost 9 now, and there were 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 of a black
sedan. He approached her and said respectfully, "Ms. Chloe, Mr. Joseph askedto pick you 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 askto go to his place so
late at night every time?"
Lucas smiled awkwardly. "Mr. Jasper went out with his classmates today and chlate, so Mr. Joseph
would like you to make sfood for him."
