Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

Chapter 75

Lisa chimed in, "That's why I applied to be Connor's secretary. WORLD is already part of the Sartori family's empire, and Connor is the sole heir to the Sartori Corporation. If he gives the go-ahead, Belle Époque could be the first local fashion brand in WORLD. You get what that means, right, Dad?"

Jacob shook his head. "Lisa, it's not as simple as that."

The Sartori Corporation also had its own fashion lines, much bigger than anything the Meadows family had. They hadn't even put their own brands in their malls, so how could they bring in another brand?

But Lisa was brimming with confidence. "Dad, how will we know if we don't give it a shot? Just give me three months. I'll have Connor wrapped around my fingers."

Sensing the doubt in Jacob's eyes, she quickly added, "I mean, I'll make sure Mr. Connor lets Belle Époque into WORLD."

Chloe had been quietly listening the whole time, not saying a word. Lisa's plan seemed way too naive. WORLD had strict partnership standards and wouldn't ruin its reputation as the top luxury destination for any brand.

Plus, Chloe recalled Connor mentioning that WORLD wasn't even under his control. It was run by his older sister, Judith. And Judith and Connor didn't get along at all.

Moreover, Lisa had lied. She hadn't been hired as Connor's secretary but as an assistant to the secretary. An assistant to the secretary rarely, if ever, saw Connor.NôvelDrama.Org © content.

After dinner, Jacob turned to Chloe. "Why don't you stay over tonight? Your room hasn't been used in a while."

Chloe glanced at Leah. She was as cold as ever, not even looking in Chloe's direction. Chloe felt a chill in her heart. After going through so much, what was left to hope for?

Just as Chloe was about to decline, her phone rang. It was Wyatt, one of Lucas close friends. "Chloe, Lucas is Can you come pick

m up?"

Seizing the moment, Chloe said, "Lucas is drunk. I need to pick him up. I won't be staying tonight."

Jacob looked relieved, glad that Chloe seemed to take his advice. "Alright then, off you go."

At the "Blossom" club, room 1008,

Chloe pushed the door open. The

room was chaotic, with people singing and drinking. Chloe recognized almost everyone-they were all Lucas' childhood friends, and hers too. Some were even

closer to her than to Lucas. Content

The room fell silent when she entered. Wyatt quickly came over. "Chloe, glad you made it."

"Luca's back in town, so I thought it'd be nice to get everyone together. Didn't expect him to drink so much. He's in a bad mood."

Chloe glanced at Lucas, slumped on the couch. "You should've called Linda. Why me?"

Everyone in the room knew the

history between the three of them. Wyatt joked; "Linda? Who's that? I don't know any Linda. You two were practically a couple since you played house as kids, and you're officially his wife. Who else would call?"

Chloe didn't bother arguing. She looked at Lucas. "Can he walk?" Wyatt got a couple of people to help Lucas up and follow Chloe out.
