Chapter 22 Don't Get Too Immersed in the Role Joseph did not bother explaining that there was no cook in the first place . After some brief contemplation , he went upstairs to grab a bank card . Then , he handed it to Chloe . " This is my supplementary card . You can use it for household expenses or if you want to buy clothes or something . " Chloe was about to say that groceries would not cost much , but she suddenly remembered that she was currently unemployed , and not wishing to appear stubborn , she accepted the card . " Okay . " " Go to Hola Mart if you want to grab something . Their stuff is fresher . " " But that's an international supermarket that sells imported goods and the stuff there is pretty expensive . A tiny head of lettuce could cost up to 15 dollars , whereas you can get the same item for just a few bucks at the local market . Moreover , the produce at the local market is freshly picked from the farm , making it healthier and more affordable . " " I'm telling you , not discussing with you . " Joseph finished his meal and set down his utensil . " Your job is to help me fool the parents , not to be a virtuous wife . Don't get too immersed in the role . " Chloe held back the urge to roll her eyes . ' What's so special about an international supermarket ? Are foreign goods really that good ? Will eating them make you immortal ? ' She took a deep breath and sighed . " I just want to help you save money . " " I don't need you to save money . You can spend it freely , " he replied coolly as he gave her a once - over . " Take some time to buy a few sets of clothes . We'll be visiting my father this weekend . " Chloe fidgeted with the hem of her dress and asked , " Can't I just wear what I'm wearing now ? I'll have you know , I spent a few thousand dollars on this dress . " " It's inappropriate to wear last year's fashion to an important occasion . " Chloe chuckled , though her smile did not reach her eyes . " Fine . " After all , it was his reputation on the line and his money being spent . It would be a waste if she did not buy some new clothes . After washing the dishes , Chloe had just returned to her room when she heard a notification 1/2 sound from her computer , indicating an email in her inbox . She eagerly checked on it and found that it was a job offer from Fairlight , informing her that she had passed the interview and was to start work the very next day . Chloe was so thrilled that she could not sleep all night , drifting off only in the wee hours of the morning . When she woke up , she looked in the mirror and regretted staying up late . There were faint dark circles under her eyes , though her skin remained clear and radiant . ' Fortunately , I have good skin . I can just cover up the dark circles with some foundation , ' she thought . As she was admiring herself in the mirror , Joseph walked by and saw her . She was wearing a white , elbow - length - sleeve , button shirt and black pencil pants that hugged her curves perfectly , emphasizing her slender legs in a way that was both graceful and sexy . He quickly averted his gaze and adjusted his tie before leaving the house . The villa was not far from Fairlight , so Chloe took the bus after getting ready . As she looked out the window , she breathed a sigh of relief that she had managed to land a job . Otherwise , she would have to tighten her belt next month . As the bus approached Fairlight , Benjamin suddenly boarded with two burly men who Chloe recognized as Artron's security guards . She furrowed her brow and asked , " What are you doing here ? " " Get off the bus with me . I need to talk to you , " Benjamin replied in a stern tone . " I can't . Today's my first day at work . I can't be late , " she retorted . He looked around the crowded bus , a look of annoyance crossing his face . Suddenly , his expression softened as he said with a smile , " I'm going to talk with you about the money your mother left you . It can be retrieved from the bank safe two months from now . A lawyer came to the house today and needs you to meet with him . " Isn't that what you wanted ? " He pressed on . " Did you come out to find a job because you're mad at me ? "
