Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

Chapter 467



Lisa finally pieced together the way Connor had acted last night. It was nothing like she had imagined. Connor had always been distant, with a sprinkle of disdain. She felt it, but chose to overlook it, clinging to any tiny sign that might bring her closer to him. Why? Because she was head over heels for him. But why on earth did he have to treat her like that? Teaming up with Chloe to make a fool of her? The thought made her seethe.

She stormed out of the office, ready to leave it all behind. But as luck would have it, the HR manager was waiting by the elevator.

Lisa was seeing red, "Get out of my way!"

"Ms. Chloe, I can step aside, but you're expected to start working now. Whether you start by greeting guests or cleaning the bathrooms is up to you, since you're the team leader."

Lisa laughed, more out of frustration than humor, "I quit! Do you really think you can afford someone like me to greet your guests?"

"So, you're resigning, Ms. Chloe?"

"Yes, that's right!"

Lisa tossed her bag aside and made for the door. But Martin, ever the smiling Buddha, blocked her path again. "Well then, Ms. Chloe, please transfer the ten million dollars breach of contract fee to the company account, and you can go."

Lisa's jaw nearly dropped in disbelief, "Ten million dollars? Are you kidding me?"

"It's all in the employment contract. If you resign during the probation period, it's a ten million dollar penalty."

Lisa was furious, "You set me up! Ten million? Why not just rob me?"

Martin kept his calm, "Ms. Chloe, I advised you to read the contract carefully, and you agreed to it."

She realized she'd been played. "I don't have that kind of money. What are you going to do about it?"

Lisa was on the brink of losing it. She couldn't believe Connor was still holding this over her, just because she messed with Chloe's family register. How petty! But she couldn't dwell on that now. Content belongs

She knew the CNR legal team was no joke. They had once turned a life sentence into an acquittal for Ann. If she couldn't pay, she had no doubt they'd haul her to court.

Fear crept in. She balled her fists, "Is there any other way out? What do I have to do for you to let me go?"

Martin offered a solution with a smile, "Complete the internship period, and you can resign without paying any fee."

"How long is this internship?" she asked.

Martin held up three fingers, still smiling, "Three months!"

Cleaning bathrooms for three months felt like a death sentence. But she was out of options. She couldn't risk a court battle; she had too many secrets.

After wrestling with her thoughts, Lisa caved. She changed into the greeter's uniform and took her place at the entrance of CNR Tower.

As if things couldn't get worse, she bumped into the four receptionists in the lobby. They were huddled

together watching a viral video opet

their phones. The clip of Lisa storming into the CEO's office, only to be shown the door, was all the company gossip column. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

Now, everyone knew. As she walked past them, uniform on, she felt the weight of her new reality.
