Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

Yeah, with his connections, Connor probably had every detail about her checked out ages ago.

Connor was quiet for a moment. "Lucas doesn't love you, and you know that. Instead of wasting your time on someone who will never give you a second glance, why not consider someone else? I think we'd be a good match."

Connor's eyes were fixed on Chloe. His gaze was as intense as the ocean at midnight. His expression was serious, his earnest look causing her heart to skip a beat. "At least in one way, we're definitely compatible." He suddenly raised an eyebrow, and the serious atmosphere was instantly shattered.

Chloe rolled her eyes at him. "What, are you not waiting in line anymore?"

Connor's eyes sparkled with amusement. "Jealous?"

Chloe laughed, and a flirtatious glint sparkled in her eyes. "Are we even at that stage?"

After lunch, Chloe put down her fork. "Honestly, you're quite skilled in bed."

Connor frowned. He had so many qualities, and yet that's the only thing she mentioned.

Chloe continued, "We can keep seeing each other but under one condition."

"What condition?"

"No strings attached, no emotional conversation. We'll just do this for fun. We don't restrict each other nor interfere in each other's personal lives." Connor seemed dissatisfied. "So, you don't want a relationship with me, just the physical part?"

Chloe nodded. "Emotions are too complicated. Once feelings get involved, things get messy. We were good before, fulfilling each other's needs. So let's keep it uncomplicated."

Chloe knew they both had some kinds of feelings for each other. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been entangled for three years. But she was also aware that their vastly different worlds meant they could never be together. Not to mention, she had too many secrets to protect. She'd stopped believing in steadfast love long ago. She had known Lucas for over twenty years, and they'd gone from childhood sweethearts to practically strangers. What in this world doesn't change? She wasn't about to give anyone the chance to hurt her again.

Connor didn't seem too pleased, his brows knitting together.

Chloe smiled nonchalantly. "If you're not okay with it, then forget it."RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

"Alright, but you have to move to Greenpeace Estate first."

Chloe didn't expect Connor to actually agree. "I need to sort out some things. Once I'm done, I'll move in."

This time, Connor didn't say anything else.

Around noon, Chloe even took a nap in Connor's makeshift bedroom. It wasn't until 2 p.m. that she arrived at the TV station.

Tony saw Chloe, put down his

thermos, and hurried over. "Chloe, you're truly a hero for our station. The response to the interview was phenomenal, the ratings hit a new high, and several major advertisers have specified they want to invest in our new segment. The advertising stots are in high demand, and even Eldridge TV called to ask for tips. The station manager said he wants to reward you."

Chloe responded with a bright smile, "Just doing my job."

A group gathered around her. "Chloe, you're amazing. The phones in the news department are ringing off the hook. The Elite's first episode was such a hit. Now it's not us asking people for interviews. Young talents are contacting us, even offering money to be featured."

"The first episode set the bar so high that if they can get on the show, they'll be considered on the same level as Mr. Connor. Of course, they want to be featured."

"Chloe, spill the beans. How did you convince Mr. Connor?"

Everyone crowded around Chloe except for Linda, who stood at a distance, silently watching everything unfold.
