Chapter 463
Chloe 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, I was really mad, but I 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 some steam, 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 I can stick around Connor long enough, I'll have plenty of chances to climb up, even if I 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 receptionists stopped her.
"Hi there, who are you here to see? Do you have an appointment?"
Lisa, with an air of superiority, replied, "Do I really need one?"
The receptionists didn't recognize her. "Sorry, no appointment, no entry."
"Do you know who I 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 home about. 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.'
One receptionist, unimpressed, "Lots of folks come looking for CEO every day. Which one are No appointment, no
entry Cel
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 some ties with the CEO?
"Does she actually have the CEO's personal number? Could she be someone important?"NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
"She looks kinda familiar, like I've seen her on TV or something, but I can't place it."
"Think she might be a big shot? We can't afford to tick off someone like that."
"Remember Red? She got canned for stopping a woman, who turned out to be the CEO's fiancée."
Remembering the past incident made the receptionists nervous. the CEO came down himself,
they be fired on the spot?t
Lisa, full of self-assurance, dialed Connor's personal number. She had it because she saw Jacob jot it down yesterday.
