Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 155

Connor leaned on his arms, his gaze piercing as he looked down at Chloe beneath him. Her skin was glowing, giving off an air of delicate beauty. He greedily took in every inch of her, savoring every subtle expression. His voice, already deep and husky, had a magnetic pull to it.

“The Paradise Resort project is about to kick off. I’ll be swamped soon and probably won’t have the luxury of nights like this,” he said.

Chloe almost breathed a sigh of relief, but then Connor added, “So, how about one more round?”

By the time Chloe fully woke up, Connor had already left for work. She couldn’t remember drifting off, utterly exhausted. Normally a light sleeper, she had managed to sleep deeply for a while.

She felt refreshed when she got up, clearly having taken a bath at some point. She then made herself a cup of coffee and picked up her phone, finding it flooded with missed calls—most from Linda and one from Lucas. Chloe didn’t bother calling back. She simply blocked both numbers.

Meanwhile, in the CNR Tower executive office, Teddy was going over work updates and the upcoming schedule. Connor suddenly asked, “Did the team from Leading Heights arrive for today’s project meeting?”

“They’ve been here for a while, waiting in the meeting room,” Teddy replied.

Today marked the official launch of the Paradise Resort project, with a large meeting organized and led by Connor himself. Leading Heights, as the main contractor, was naturally in attendance.

The meeting dragged on for four hours, stretching into the afternoon. As it concluded, Connor directly addressed Lucas, “Mr. Lucas, the Paradise Resort project is massive, and the timeline is tight. You’re aware of this, right?”

Lucas responded in a formal tone, “Mr. Connor, Leading Heights will do everything possible to meet CNR’s trust and expectations.”

Lucas had been drunk the night before, dismissing the Paradise Resort project in his inebriation. The reality was that Moncada International was in a tight spot and desperately needed this project. It was a golden opportunity, one that could potentially save Moncada International and catapult them to new heights. From that angle, he owed Connor a big thank you.

Connor nodded, “Starting today, Mr. Lucas will be the project director for Paradise Resort on behalf of Leading Heights. This project must meet all quality standards without fail. Therefore, I expect you to be on-site at the construction office, keeping in line with the workers on the front lines and personally overseeing the big picture.”
