NovelsBestChloe leaned on her elbows, looking at him with the curiosity of a lazy cat. "So, you were just putting on a show
because you knew Lisa was watching us, huh?" "Yeah, | was really mad, but | was also acting."
That made sense. Normally, if she started a kiss, it wouldn't be long before he'd take charge. But today, he let
her kiss him gently for quite a bit.
Chloe's lips curled into a sly smile. "Still, why'd you let Lisa start working at CNR? What job do you have in mind
for her?"
Connor playfully ruffled Chloe's hair. "Don't sweat it. You needed to blow off ssteam, and so did I."
The next morning, Lisa strutted into CNR Tower. Her face was still a bit puffy from the three slaps she got
yesterday, but that didn't kill her vibe. She'd been humiliated in front of her friends and got an earful of insults
and taunts. She had marked this grudge in her mind. "Chloe, just wait. There's no way I'm letting you and Connor
tie the knot smoothly. If | can stick around Connor long enough, I'll have plenty of chances to climb up, even if |
have to play a little dirty."

Lisa walked into CNR Tower with her head held high. She'd worked in the secretarial department before, so she
knew the place like the back of her hand. She was all set to march straight into Connor's office, but a group of

Lisa, with an air of superiority, replied, "Do | really need one?"
The receptionists didn't recognize her. "Sorry, no appointment, no entry."
"Do you know who | am? Or my connection with your CEO?"
The receptionists eyed her up and down. Despite her designer clothes, her demeanor and taste were nothing to
write habout. Plus her face was caked with makeup, and her cheeks were swollen, like she'd plastered on a
ton of makeup. She didn't exactly scream CEO acquaintance.’

No appointment, no entry.
Lisa, fuming, whipped out her phone. "Just you wait. When your CEO comes down himself, don't chicken out."
Lisa's confidence made the receptionists a bit uneasy. Could she really have sties with the CEO?
"Does she actually have the CEO's personal number? Could she be someone important?"
"She looks kinda familiar, like I've seen her on TV or something, but | can't place it."
"Think she might be a big shot? We can't afford to tick off someone like that."
