Chapter 355 Getting Together With Icarus
After Xavia’s departure, Joseph remained rooted in place, his arms tensed and veins pulsating with
anger. A bitter self-mockery tainted his enraged expression. He came to the realization that Chloe had
not been attempting to balance her affections between him and Icarus. Instead, she merely treated him
as a pawn in her game, relishing in her triumph and flaunting it before. others.
With a determined grip, Joseph retrieved the suit hanging in his wardrobe. As frustration surged within
him, he forcefully hurled the suit into the trash bin.
Meanwhile, autumn arrived, and Chloe wrapped herself in thicker garments.
Ever since completing her university studies, Chloe had been immersed in the demands of her work,
leaving her with little time to obtain a driver’s license. After assuming control of her family’s business,
she recognized the inconveniences of relying on taxis for transportation. Determined to overcome this
hurdle, she seized a moment of respite and enrolled in a driving school before heading to the office.
Somehow, the moment Chloe set foot in the company, she was greeted by an employee who

after, followed by a third… Each time, only a single rose was handed to her, and the givers would
silently depart without uttering a word.
Arriving at her office, Chloe found her hands overflowing with roses.
At that very moment, Icarus appeared. Since his leg injury was still in the process of healing, he leaned
on a crutch as he emerged. His countenance exuded a handsome and refined charm, adorned with a
gentle smile that diverted attention away from his leg.
Chloe was taken aback. “Aren’t you supposed to be in the hospital? Why are you here?”
“I returned home this afternoon,” Icarus said as he pulled a whole bouquet of pink roses from behind
his back and presented it to her, his eyes filled with affection. “Chloe, I want to make at formal
confession to you. Will
you be
my girlfriend?”
The employees erupted in applause, their voices echoing with enthusiasm. “Say yes! Say yes!”
The deafening sound made Chloe furrow her brows. She looked at the man who had sacrificed so
much for her and nodded with a smile that did not quite reach her eyes. “Okay,” she said.
Having made the decision to give herself a chance, she felt compelled to accept Icarus’ proposal.
Perhaps, through a different way of being together, she might develop feelings for him.
“This is wonderful, Chloe! We’re finally together!” Icarus exclaimed, joyfully embracing
Chloe.
Chloe instinctively wanted to push him away, but considering the multitude of people around them, she
did not want to embarrass him, so she accepted his embrace.
Icarus personally put on an expensive bracelet that had a small bell that tinkled with every movement
on her wrist. Chloe looked at the bracelet and smiled faintly.
The employees captured the confession process between Icarus and Chloe on video, and after editing
it, they proudly sent it to her. Chloe forced a smile and offered a few compliments.
At three o’clock in the afternoon, Emily sent her a video link: [What’s going on? Are you together with
Icarus?]

Chloe was taken aback and clicked on the video to view it. As expected, the video had been. posted to
Facebook, and Icarus had even enthusiastically shared it, flaunting their affection. She felt a surge of
embarrassment and found herself at a loss for words. She did not like having her personal life exposed
to the public eye.
Just five minutes later, she received a phone call from Noah.
“Chloe, are you….in a relationship?” he asked.
“Yeah…”
“I’m not trying to stop you from dating, but I just feel-”
“I understand what you mean. I’ll delete the video as soon as possible and make sure it doesn’t have
any negative impact on Exotic Star,” Chloe interjected, offering a sincere explanation.
Noah paused for a moment, swallowing his unsaid words, and gently comforted her, “I’m not blaming
you. Of course, deleting the video would be the best outcome. You just separated from Joseph, so
there’s no need to rush into a new relationship. Even if this person treats you well, you should take
some time to assess him.”
Choe blinked, sensing Noah was trying to tell her something.
