Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover by Rosa Winters

As soon as Lisa swung the door open, she felt the urge to hurl insults. Chloe didn't scare her; she just wanted to give her a hard time. But she was conscious about keeping up appearances in front of Connor. So, she tried to keep her voice down. But it was Connor who stood in the doorway, and her expression changed in an instant. Looking up at this towering figure, she stumbled over her words, "I... I didn't mean to..."

This was the closest Lisa had ever been to Connor, close enough to catch a whiff of his scent. It was crisp and cool, like a refreshing mountain spring-utterly entrancing. She felt her cheeks heat up but refused to back down, "I actually... um..." "Get your act together before you talk to me," Connor's voice was icy, like being dunked in an ice bath. Lisa felt a chill run from her head down to her toes. His presence was so overwhelming, it nearly took her breath away. His sharp eyes softened when they landed on Chloe, a stark contrast to how he looked at her. Instinctively, Lisa took a step back.

Connor didn't bother with more words; he simply sidestepped her and left. Lisa stared at his retreating figure for a moment before snapping back to reality. The doorway was plenty wide, yet he'd made a deliberate effort to avoid her, almost as if she was contagious. What was Connor really up to?

If he truly disliked her, why keep her around as his personal assistant? It couldn't be just that. He must be putting on a show for Chloe, his fiancée in name only, to keep her happy. With this thought, Lisa shook off her embarrassment and strutted into Chloe's room with a smug air.

"So, Chloe, getting comfy in this room?" she asked, glancing around. It was just the villa's smallest guest room. Lisa had long since claimed Chloe's original room. Once Lisa moved back, Chloe had relocated here. But Chloe had left ages ago and hadn't stayed in this room for years.

Chloe replied coolly, "I don't need to stay here, unlike you. I've got dozens of villas. Didn't your parents mention that?"
