Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

Everyone could see that Mr. Connor was genuinely pissed off, and it was all because of Chloe.

But why?

Regardless of the reason, nobody could afford to tick off Mr. Connor, a top dog among the Eldridge Elites, over a woman. The guys who had been hanging around Chloe quickly backed off.

Linda watched, a slight smirk curling her lips. It looked like even Chloe’s beauty had its limits.

Chloe and Linda returned to the TV station separately, neither mentioning the incident at the golf course.

That afternoon, there was a team meeting.

Tony was practically buzzing with excitement. "Finally, our big break! Chloe, Linda, who managed to snag an interview with Mr. Connor?"

Both Chloe and Linda looked a bit taken aback. The rest of the team was just as surprised.

"Mr. Connor agreed to an interview?"

"Yep, CNR called, and they’ve set it up for tomorrow. They want someone there at nine."

Vivian asked, "So, who's doing the interview?"

Tony said, "They didn’t specify. They just told us to send someone at nine. Mr. Connor has cleared two hours for us."

Still a bit dazed, Tony asked, "Chloe, Linda, why didn’t you say anything when you got back? Who managed to arrange the interview with Mr. Connor?"

Chloe frowned slightly. Connor’s attitude that morning clearly showed he wasn’t interested. So why the sudden change of heart now?

While Chloe stayed silent, Linda calmly spoke up, "Sir, it was me."

Tony beamed. "Excellent, Linda! I knew you had it in you."

"Get ready for the interview tomorrow morning at nine with Mr. Connor. If you pull this off, you’ve got a bright future ahead."

Tony, still buzzing, picked up his phone. "I need to report this to the station manager. This is big news. The manager at Eldridge TV has tried to get Mr. Connor several times without success, and now Riverbrook TV Station has done it. The manager's gonna be thrilled."

Tony left the room.

Everyone gathered around Linda.

"Linda, that’s amazing! How did you do it?"

"No wonder you’re a top grad and interned at NBC. Your skills are way beyond some people who are just eye candy."

"Linda, the prime-time host spot is definitely yours."

"When you become the prime-time host, you’ve got to treat us to dinner."

Linda smiled modestly, a hint of shyness in her demeanor. "I just got lucky. Tonight, dinner’s on me at the Antique House for some Italian cuisine." This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

Antique House was a high-end Italian restaurant in Riverbrook that was known for its extravagance. The journalists working at the TV station didn't have particularly high salaries, so none of them had

ever dined at such a luxurious place before.

Everyone cheered and praised Linda’s generosity even more.

Linda stood up and approached the silent Chloe. "Chloe, want to join us for Italian tonight?"

Chloe gathered her documents, smiling warmly at Linda. "Of course, I never turn down a free meal."

That evening, the group arrived at Antique House. Linda had already reserved a private room. The group admired the upscale decor, showering Linda with more compliments.

"Linda, do you come here often?"

Linda modestly replied, "Not really, just occasionally."

"This place isn’t for regular folks. And you tell us you don't have an ordinary background?"

"Linda managed to study abroad. How could she come from a poor family?"

"Linda, come clean. Which wealthy family’s daughter are you?"

Linda responded, "I haven’t lied to you. My family’s financial situation isn’t great. My studying abroad was all thanks to my boyfriend."

Linda glanced at Chloe, sitting across from her. "My boyfriend’s family is well-off, and he loves me a lot. I went abroad with him."
