Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover by Rosa Winters

Chloe leaned on her elbows, looking at him with the curiosity of a lazy cat. "So, you were just putting on a show because you knew Lisa was watching us, huh?" "Yeah, I was really mad, but I was also acting."

That made sense. Normally, if she started a kiss, it wouldn't be long before he'd take charge. But today, he let her kiss him gently for quite a bit.

Chloe's lips curled into a sly smile. "Still, why'd you let Lisa start working at CNR? What job do you have in mind for her?"

Connor playfully ruffled Chloe's hair. "Don't sweat it. You needed to blow off some steam, and so did I."

The next morning, Lisa strutted into CNR Tower. Her face was still a bit puffy from the three slaps she got yesterday, but that didn't kill her vibe. She'd been humiliated in front of her friends and got an earful of insults and taunts. She had marked this grudge in her mind. "Chloe, just wait. There's no way I'm letting you and Connor tie the knot smoothly. If I can stick around Connor long enough, I'll have plenty of chances to climb up, even if I have to play a little dirty."

Lisa walked into CNR Tower with her head held high. She'd worked in the secretarial department before, so she knew the place like the back of her hand. She was all set to march straight into Connor's office, but a group of receptionists stopped her.
