Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

Chapter 58

The night felt both familiar and strangely different.

The familiarity was in the heat, much like the way Trophy Boy used to make her feel, starting with gentle coaxing and escalating to unrestrained passion. His body temperature, every detail of his physique, his habitual movements, the soft groan of satisfaction, and the way he would pull her into his embrace afterward-everything was so familiar.

Yet, the big difference was his identity. From being her Trophy Boy for three years, he had transformed into the unattainable King of Eldridge. Psychologically, it was a lot to process.

Chloe had always struggled with sleep. But perhaps due to the previous night's exhaustion, she managed to sleep until dawn. She woke up to an empty bed and thought Connor had already left, only to find him in the dining room. He had prepared a lavish breakfast.

Chloe didn't hold back her praises before sitting down at the table and digging in without any reservations. Connor was dressed in slacks and a white shirt, with every button fastened up to the top, looking aloof and reserved. Chloe couldn't figure out why, with his naturally detached appearance, she had ever thought of him as a playboy.

"Did you enjoy last night?" Connor suddenly locked eyes with Chloe.

"What?" Chloe didn't catch on immediately.

"You seduced me so early in the morning, so I thought you were dissatisfied with last night. Or should we, perhaps, do it over?" The mischief was already evident in his mesmerizing eyes, and a slight smile played on his lips. Despite his ethereal appearance, there was an undeniable hint of roguishness.

Chloe finally got it. The playboy was still the playboy.

Later, Chloe headed to the TV station. Early on, everyone gathered around, congratulating her on becoming the prime-time host. Soon, Vivian emerged from Tony's office. As she passed by Chloe, she said with a face full of resentment, "Chloe, I won't let you get away with this." Then she left. Content belongs

The crowd began to gossip. "Grace discovered Vivian and Kaden's affair. She had Vivian's clothes stripped off in public yesterday. It made the headlines and even involved the police."

"How dare she blame Chloe? It was her own lack of decorum."

"She ruined the TV station's reputation, like a single rotten apple spoiling the whole barrel. How could she have the face to stay here?"

The TV station was a place where people were quick to turn on each other, and this group had spoken of Chloe in much the same way before. Chloe just smiled and paid no mind to it.

During the morning meeting, Tony spoke up. "Today, there are two announcements. First, Vivian has resigned due to personal health reasons." Everyone knew that Vivian had been fired, and resignation was just the station's way of giving her a final shred of dignity.

"The second matter..." Tony looked at Chloe, his gaze complex.

Deanna, a news editor who got along well with Chloe, interjected, "The second matter must be you announcing Chloe as the prime-time host, right?" The crowd echoed the sentiment, eagerly anticipating congratulating her. Only Linda sat quietly in a corner of the conference table.

Tony's expression turned awkward. "I did say that whoever got Mr. Connor's exclusive interview could become the prime-time host.
