Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover by Rosa Winters

Chapter 167



Chloe furrowed her brows. "Connor won't let you leave?"

Lucas stayed silent for a moment. "He's probably worried I'll hang around you."

Chloe's face remained calm, unfazed. “You should head back to the city and get checked out. If anything comes up, I'll explain to him.”

Gavin, standing nearby, added, “Ms. Chloe, we all know you're Mr. Connor's girlfriend. Maybe you should get our boss a leave of absence from Mr. Connor first. Otherwise, our boss won't be at ease."

Chloe studied Lucas' pale face. Finally, she picked up her phone and dialed a number.

The person on the other end sounded surprised. "What's up? Calling me out of the blue?"

"There's something I need to tell you. I'm at Paradise Resort, and Lucas got injured. I want to ask for some time off on his behalf so he can get treatment in the city hospital."

Even though Connor didn't say anything, Chloe could feel the tension through the phone. After a few seconds, Connor's cold and heavy voice broke the silence. "He's hurt, and you're asking for leave for him?"
