Chapter 49
Connor stood in front of her and was dressed to the nines. His features were so striking that he looked like he had stepped out of a fantasy movie, like a mythical figure coming to life. But the moment he opened his mouth, Chloe was jolted back to reality.
"Come on, you're not exactly suffering here," she teased.
Chloe wasn't the least bit flustered. Instead, she responded with grace and ease. She strutted around the room in her high heels, curiously examining the decor. She noted how the layout was almost a perfect replica of Greenpeace Estate.
Connor got up and walked over to her, wrapping his arms around her slender waist from behind. His lips brushed against her ear, his voice low and suggestive. "Why did you come looking for me last night?"
Truth be told, she had regretted it afterward. She didn't want to get further entangled with him, yet she had sought him out the previous night, and it had ended in his bed.
Chloe turned around, cupping his handsome face in her hands, and gave him a quick peck on the lips. "It was for this interview, of course. See, you've come to me willingly today, haven't you?"
Her smile was radiant, like a rose in full bloom under the scorching sun. It was both beautiful and intense.
Connor raised an eyebrow, his tone light but with a hint of seriousness. "If you don’t want to talk about it, that’s fine. But since you’ve stirred the pot again, I won’t let you off so easily this time."
No sooner had he finished speaking than he showered her with kisses. Soon enough, Chloe found herself pinned to the sofa.
"Stop. I have to interview you soon, and my makeup will be ruined."
Connor tried to control himself, his voice husky. "Meet me at Greenpeace Estate tonight."
Chloe seemed to consider it for a moment before agreeing, "Okay."
Connor frowned, "You agreed just as quickly last time."
Chloe laughed, "Don't worry, I won't stand you up this time."
The office was connected to a large conference room. Chloe entered directly from the inside. By the time the others arrived, she was already there. She nodded in greeting to the interview team, who seamlessly began their preparations. In no time, everything was ready.
Linda’s assistant hurried over with a stack of papers. "Chloe, here are the interview questions Linda prepared for the Paradise Resort."
Chloe didn’t even glance at them. "Keep them. I won’t need her questions."
The assistant was visibly worried. Linda had taken credit for Chloe’s work the day before, thinking she could replace her, and had prepared a whole set of questions. These interview questions had been meticulously crafted by the team. Chloe was obviously upset with Linda and refused to use her questions. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
The interview was being broadcast live. Any mistake could not be undone. Linda was in the wrong, but given the circumstances, wasn't it best to consider the bigger picture? However, without Chloe’s acceptance of the papers, there was little the assistant could do.
When Connor entered, the interview officially began. The news had been announced early on official channels. So, as soon as the live broadcast started, thousands of viewers poured in, and the numbers kept growing.
"Connor, the billionaire's son, the King of Eldridge, a man whose reputation precedes him. I’ve heard that many domestic and international media outlets have been clamoring to interview him, but I never imagined his first public appearance would be on our humble Riverbrook TV Station."
"Riverbrook TV Station is really making a name for itself. Eldridge TV must be green with envy."
"Who is this interviewer? I love her looks. She has that perfect blend of stunning and sophisticated."
"She’s the Riverbrook TV Station’s shining star. Don’t you know her? She’s the noon news anchor, Chloe. Her anchoring style is both professional and engaging. I’ve always been a fan, and I’m glad others are finally noticing her."
"Apparently, this anchor won an interview opportunity with Mr. Connor by scoring a hole-in-one against him in golf."
Connor slowly walked into the interview room. The camera immediately focused on his face. The chat room went silent for a second, then exploded.
"Who is this handsome guy? Tyler, you have one minute to find me everything you can about him."
"Holy smokes, are people really this good-looking? LOL…"
