Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover by Rosa Winters

Chapter 151



Lucas' hidden feelings had barely begun to form before Connor yanked them into the open for everyone to see.

Embarrassment, guilt, and shame flickered in his eyes but were quickly masked by a cool exterior.

"Mr. Connor, Chloe and I have been friends since we were kids. Our bond is over two decades strong. It isn't something an outsider like you could understand. I'd appreciate it if you'd stay out of our business."
