Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover by Rosa Winters

Ann could sense something was off from Chloe's expression. "Chloe, do you know her?" she asked.

Before Chloe could respond, Linda had already walked over to them. "Chloe and I were best friends in high school. Mrs. Smith, I've heard so much about you. You're Chloe's birth mom, right? It's lovely to finally meet you. Please take good care of me," Linda said in the sweetest voice imaginable. To anyone who didn't truly know her, she seemed kind and polite. She gazed at Ann with wide, innocent eyes. "Wow, this meal looks amazing! I'm starving. Mind if I join you for dinner?"

Hearing that this girl was supposedly Chloe's good friend, Ann responded quickly, "Sure, we've just started. If you're okay with it, you're more than welcome to join us..."

But Chloe stepped in front of Linda, blocking her path. "Yeah, she was my best friend in high school. But she also stole my boyfriend when I was at my lowest, spread lies about me, and framed me more times than I can count. Calling her a 'best friend' is a joke." Ann's face clouded with a mix of emotions. The mention of "best friend" brought back memories of her fallout with Leah. She knew all too well the pain of friends turning into enemies. That kind of hurt sticks with you for life.

Ann's demeanor turned frosty, "Miss, our place isn't open yet, and we're not serving guests right now. Please leave."

Suddenly, Linda clutched her stomach, "It hurts, my stomach really hurts..."

Chloe pulled Ann back a step, "Linda, you've pulled this stunt before. Just so you know, there are cameras everywhere, so don't even try any of your dirty tricks."
