Connor grumbled, "C'mon, call me hubby."
Chloe teased him with a playful grin, "Nope."
"Why not?"
"You're not officially my hubby yet."
"We're getting our marriage license on Monday. Let me enjoy the privilege a couple of days early."
"Let's talk about it after Monday."
"Just say it once, I really want to hear it."
Connor nuzzled into Chloe's neck, putting on his best puppy eyes, "Please? I really want to hear it."
Chloe sighed, utterly speechless.
Connor had turned acting cute into an art form. He could slip into character anytime, anywhere.
Chloe finally caved. She leaned in and whispered softly into his ear, "Hubby..."
Connor froze, emotions bubbling up. Just as he was about to bask in the sweetness, Chloe added with a mischievous glint, "Hubby dear..."
Connor frowned, "That's not quite right."
Chloe sprang up with a laugh, "Bye-bye~ Hubby dear~ Have a great day at work."
That "Hubby dear" sounded more like a grandpa than a husband.
Connor was fuming. But then he noticed something even more frustrating.
The online conference room was still open!!!
It hadn't been closed!!!
Clients and employees worldwide, including all the resort project's managers, had seen the whole thing!
His friends and childhood buddies were among those managers.
The chat was blowing up with messages.
"Is this the same boss who just chewed us out?"
"The boss acting cute again, so adorable!"
"Our boss is like a little puppy when he whines."
"Whoa, calling someone 'hubby', Connor, didn't know you had it in you."
"Haha, 'Hubby dear'... Sister-in-law rocks..."
"Connor's no match for sister-in-law, she's got him wrapped around her finger."
"The boss and his wife are so
adorable, shipped them since theret
reality show, never expected bonus content!"
"Thought this meeting would be a snooze, but I got to see my favorite couple, so happy."
"Got my fill of romance this morning, ready to tackle the day!"
Connor tried to keep a straight face but his annoyance was clear, a had turned crimson. C

He'd told Matt to end the meeting, but they'd obviously done it on purpose.
Thankfully, nothing too outrageous had happened.
Just as he was plotting his revenge, he noticed Lucas's avatar still blinking.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Lucas was the contractor for the resort project. Naturally, he was there.
Lucas hadn't said a word, but his presence lingered.
Seeing that avatar, Connor's mood inexplicably lifted.
He wasn't mad at Matt and the others anymore. He even considered buying them a drink.
Connor closed the conference window with a poker face, but inside, he was feeling much better.
Chloe, of course, had no idea she'd become the morning's hot topic.
After leaving the CN Tower, she headed straight to North City High School.
North City High was celebrating its 20th anniversary today and was open to the public.
The school was built on the site of the old Harmony Family Private Hospital.
After the Harmony Family went
under twenty-three years ago, the
place had been cleared out Wee
three years, making way for North threeyears,
City High School.
Before that, there'd even been a fire.
All signs and records of the past had naturally disappeared.
Chloe had been digging into her past lately.
She didn't really expect to find anything there.
After all, twenty years could erase almost anything.
But unexpectedly, this visit brought her a surprising discovery.
