"You've got him living and working on the front lines with the workers, and he can't leave without permission. That's a bit much, don't you think?" Chloe's tone was calm but firm.

Connor let out a cold laugh. "Oh, did he come crying to you? What else did he say?"

Chloe's voice turned icy. "No, he didn't. Actually, I don't care what you do. I just hope you won't let your personal feelings get in the way because of me. The Paradise Resort project is too big to be tainted by personal grudges."
