Chapter 61
Connor continued, "I've looked into the person in question-Vivian, your colleague from the news department. She used to host 'Morning News Express.' Do you have any beef with her?"This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
Chloe's expression didn't change a bit. "Yeah, we've got a bit of history."
Watching the figure in the video, Chloe smirked knowingly. "But she's just a pawn in someone else's game."
Still focused on Chloe's perfect profile, Connor asked, "So, she was put up to this?"
Chloe's eyes turned icy. "I know exactly who it is."
Connor's voice grew serious. "What's your plan? Do you need my help?"
Chloe thought for a moment, then closed the laptop. Turning to Connor, she cupped his face. "It's okay, I can handle it myself. Don't worry about it."
Chloe leaned in and kissed him, her voice dripping with seduction. "How about coming to my room tonight?"
Naturally, he couldn't refuse her invitation.
Chloe felt that he was unusually gentle today as if he was trying his best to lift her spirits and make her happy. She liked it. Her bad mood gradually lifted, and she found herself lost in his tenderness.
But he only kissed and teased her and did not take things further.
Chloe, burning with desire, arched her body, eager for more. "Come on..."
"Say my name," he whispered seductively in her ear.
"Darling."
"Not that."
"Sweetheart..."
"That's not what I want to hear."
Chloe's mind was hazy, and her heart fluttered as if tickled by feathers, making her crave more. She used to call him that all the time. What did he want to hear?
"Mr. Connor?" she purred, her voice soft and feline.
He still resisted giving her what she wanted. "Chloe, call my name."
She opened her eyes slightly, her gaze filled with a bewitching mist, her red lips as tempting as blood. Her voice, laden with desire, called out, "Connor..."
Her voice was incredibly alluring as if it had the power to enchant and consume souls.
Connor, too, had reached his limit. They indulged in each other, lost in the bliss of their passion.
The next day, Chloe called Vivian, asking to meet up.
Vivian, still as arrogant as ever, replied, "Sorry, the CEO of Beauté has invited me for an interview today. I'm not as free as you."
Of course, Vivian knew Chloe had
lost her prime-time hosting spot and was even forced on "annual leave" by the director, which was basically a soft way of being sidelined. Chloe probably wouldn't get to keep her lunchtime news spot now.
Vivian sounded quite smug over the phone. Yet, Chloe's voice remained calm and elegant. "If you're busy during the day, how about the
evening? Meet me at Cloud T
it'll
be my treat tonight. How does that sound?"
Cloud Top was one of the top high-end restaurants in Riverbrook.
Vivian hesitated for a few seconds before agreeing. She knew this was likely a setup, that Chloe might have caught wind of something and was seeking retribution. But she wasn't afraid at all.
