Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

Connor listened intently to the question before suddenly turning to face Chloe. "Ms. Chloe, what do you think?"

Chloe feigned surprise. "Mr. Connor, I have no idea who your heart belongs to. How could I know? But I do believe that whoever you have feelings for must be an extraordinary person."

Connor nodded in agreement. "There are tons of people who admire her."

A hint of curiosity sparked within Chloe. Connor's beloved must be a top socialite among the Eldridge Elites. Whenever he spoke of this girl, Chloe noticed a certain gleam in Connor's eyes.

In the live broadcast:

[It's a secret crush! The King of Eldridge actually has a crush on someone.]

[It turns out even the most formidable people appears cautious and uncertain around the ones they love.]

[Setting aside his status, I can't believe any woman could resist Mr. Connor's charm.]

[So, does this lucky woman even know Mr. Connor is secretly in love with her?]

Chloe asked the question everyone in the live broadcast wanted to know. "So, Mr. Connor, you don't know if your beloved reciprocates your feelings?"

Connor smiled. "I'm still waiting in line, hoping she won't keep me waiting too long."

His humorous response lightened the mood. Chloe teased, "Brave people get to enjoy life first. Mr. Connor, why not boldly pursue her? Maybe you'll succeed."

After her statement, Chloe turned to the camera for her final interview summary. "Thank you again, Mr. Connor, for accepting our interview, and we wish you success in your pursuit of love."

As the interview concluded, the team gradually left the meeting room. Chloe was ready to leave as well. When she stood up, Connor suddenly grabbed her arm. "Leaving without saying goodbye, is that your style?"

Chloe looked around; everyone else had left. "I have to return to the station; it's still working hours."

Connor checked his watch. "Your station works past 11:30 AM? Join me for lunch before you go back."

Reluctantly, Chloe asked the rest of

the team to go ahead without her

Teddy delivered the lunch. Connor's office suite included a dining area. The two shared lunch at the dining table. Suddenly, Chloe chuckled.

"What's so funny?" Connor asked while peeling shrimp.

Chloe responded, "We've known each other for three years, and I think this is the first time we've had lunch together."

Indeed. Throughout their three-year

acquaintance, they usually met at night, occasionally having dinner, but never lunch. Connor placed some peeled shrimp into Chloe's bow "That's because you've only seen me as a nice lay."

Chloe was drinking soup and nearly choked upon hearing this. It turned the atmosphere somewhat awkward. "Mr. Connor, let's not bring up the past, okay?"

"Well, what about last night, then? Last night, you suddenly came over. What was that about?"

He spoke slowly yet earnestly as if

discussing a serious matter. This time, Chloe genuinely choked and scrambled for a tissue. Finally managing to calm down, Chloe said, "I'm sorry, I was a bit overwhelmed yesterday. I promise it won't happen again."

Connor raised an eyebrow. "So, I'm at a loss then."

Chloe paused, momentarily unable to respond. "What?"

"Chloe, would you like to be my girlfriend?"

"I'm married," Chloe blurted out.

"What kind of sham marriage is that? Is it even legally recognized?"Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Chloe was stunned. "You know?"
