Chapter 97
Teddy spoke with a cool detachment, "This is the CEO's office. You can't just stroll in here without permission. Please, leave."
But Lisa acted like she didn't hear a word he said and marched right in. She spotted Connor sitting in his office chair and immediately put on a bright smile. "Mr. Connor, do you remember me? We met at your grandmother's birthday party."Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Even as Lisa spoke, she felt a bit awkward. After all, she had been in the secretarial department for two weeks and hadn't even exchanged a single word with Connor. Claiming to be his assistant would be a stretch since he probably didn't even know who she was. So, she approached him on a personal note, especially since what she wanted to discuss was personal.
"Lisa?" Connor's voice was soft, almost curious.
By then, Teddy had come up behind her, ready to show her out. Hearing Connor call her name made him pause for a moment before he respectfully asked, "Sir?"
Connor sat in his fine leather office chair, looking every bit the sophisticated CEO in his tailored suit. His cold, handsome features were unmatched. He had been signing documents, his hand strikingly elegant and well-defined.
Lisa was almost mesmerized. Just one look at him made her heart race. Especially when he said her name in that deep, maic voice-it sent a shiver down her spine. The most surprising part was that during their brief encounter that day, they hadn't even spoken, but Connor somehow remembered her name. What did that mean? It meant their first meeting had left a strong impression on him, and he might have even asked about her afterward.
With this realization, Lisa could hardly contain her excitement. Connor's next words only confirmed her thoughts.
"Teddy, leave us," Connor said, his lips barely moving.
He didn't scold her for barging in. Instead, he sent Teddy away.
After Teddy left, Connor looked at Lisa, the real Meadows daughter who had been swapped with Chloe at birth. "Ms. Lisa, is there something you need?"
Under his intense gaze, Lisa felt
momentarily dizzy but quickly pulled herself together. "I'm currently working in the secretarial
department. I'm here today because I have a personal matter."
Connor waited, his gaze calm, waiting for her to continue.
Lisa swallowed nervously and took out an invitation from her bag. Gathering alt her courage, she stepped Closer to Connor.
"Tomorrow is my birthday, and
parents are hosting a party for me at the Cloud Top banquet hall would be honored if you could attend."
After speaking, Lisa was extremely nervous. She feared Connor would outright refuse. After all, she knew her visit was a bit presumptuous. Under Connor's silence, her O confidence wavered further
She quickly added, "Our family was fortunate to be invited to your grandmother's birthday celebration. This is a return invitation for my birthday." Connor took the invitation without hurry. "Alright, I'll attend."
Lisa was stunned. She hadn't expected Connor to agree so readily. Could it be that Connor had noticed her before, maybe even... fallen for her at first sight?
Blushing, Lisa was excited and wanted to say more, but Connor spoke coolly, "Ms. Lisa, if there's nothing else, please leave."
Lisa was disappointed, but could only nod and then left the CEO's office.
