“No, thank you. I’ve already found a job with a good salary,” Chloe responded, taking a sip of

water.

“So quickly? Which company?” Icarus expressed his surprise.

“It’s a small company…”

“Your qualifications are remarkable. Why settle for a small company?” Harry interjected, “I can connect you with some great job opportunities. Don’t let your prime years go to waste.”

“He’s right. While small companies can serve as stepping stones, joining a larger corporation offers better prospects for long-term growth.’

”

“Yeah, Chloe. Don’t be too impulsive in your decisions.”

Hearing their advice, Chloe’s heart warmed. However, deep down, she understood that it was her inability to act impulsively that led her to accept Joseph’s arrangement. Nevertheless, she sincerely cherished their genuine concern.

“I will and I have indeed given it careful consideration. I won’t make any impulsive moves,” Chloe replied, a mischievous smile gracing her face as her eyes sparkled like stars. “I’m fully aware of my intentions. I chose this company because they offered me a higher salary than

Baxon.”

Icarus locked eyes with her, his expression filled with tenderness. “That’s great to hear. Remember, if you ever need any help, don’t hesitate to reach out to me.”

“Really? If Jake finds out that we’re getting closer, do you think it’ll affect your relationship with him?” Chloe playfully teased.

The mere thought of Jake’s potential reaction upon discovering her connection with Joseph filled her with amusement, almost causing her to burst into laughter.

Icarus’s expression tensed slightly as he shifted his gaze. “Based on seniority, I’m technically his senior, so he has no right to interfere.”

Chloe replied with a nonchalant “Oh,” not giving much thought to it. After all, her bond with Icarus was solely that of friendship. It appeared that Jake had a number of senior relatives as she had already come across two of them within a span of three months.

At that moment, Harry leaned over and raised his glass to clink with hers. “If Icarus is Jake’s uncle, does that mean you’ll stop contacting Icarus?”

Chloe was momentarily caught off guard, but she quickly responded with a mischievous smile. “No, I won’t.”

“Why not?”

“Because I want to become Jake’s aunt!”

The room erupted with laughter, and the expressions on Icarus and Harry’s faces were absolutely priceless, except for Lily, who did not fully grasp the underlying meaning of these

Chloe had been in a sour mood all day. She had consumed three bottles of beer, and while not yet intoxicated, she felt slightly dizzy. Her mind remained clear as she observed Icarus, whose expression was constantly shifting. She touched her nose and remarked, “Don’t give me that look. I was just messing with you guys.”

It was not worth getting entangled in this mess just to seek revenge on a scumbag. Yet, who could resist Joseph’s charm?

He exuded a captivating allure, with his striking handsomeness and exceptional demeanor, stirring Chloe’s heart. Little had she anticipated that after spending time together day after day, no matter how handsome his face was, it could not offset his terrible temper.

Who would find that appealing?

Icarus, realizing he might have acted inappropriately, averted his gaze. A sense of joy spread within him as he spoke, “I understand how you feel. It’s tough to be let down by someone, and it’s hard to resist the urge to express anger.”

Chloe smiled, and her impression of him improved. He appeared to be reasonable and fair-

minded.

While Harry went to the restroom, he dragged Icarus along. Nudging Icarus with his elbow, he said, “The atmosphere was getting intense earlier. Why didn’t you confess?”

“I’ll do it tomorrow. With you guys present, I’m afraid it’ll make Chloe uncomfortable and have the opposite effect.”

“True, that little lady is pretty delicate. It wouldn’t work out with me and Lily around,” Harry gloated, a mischievous smile on his face. “Remember to share the good news with me if you succeed tomorrow. I

do wonder how your nephew will feel about it though.”

Someone transitioning from an ex-girlfriend to an aunt was more melodramatic than most

television dramas.

“I said it earlier. I’m his senior. He has no right to control me,” Icarus reiterated, his dignified demeanor accompanied by a touch of seriousness.

Upon hearing his words, Harry felt a sense of relief. “Our little Chloe has been through a lot. Take good care of her when you’re together.”

“I will.”

As they continued their conversation, they exited the restroom. Icarus requested Harry to go back first while he took care of the bill.

Meanwhile, Lucas completed his transaction at the counter and walked past Icarus. Icarus halted for a moment, his gaze fixed on Lucas’s retreating figure, lost in thought.
