Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 25

The secretary hung up the phone, looking a bit dazed like she hadn't fully processed what just happened.

"Who was that on the line?" someone nearby asked.

"It was the boss," she replied, still trying to regain her composure.

Connor was notoriously private, never giving interviews or making public appearances. The outside world knew very little about him. However, the receptionist was the company's most inquisitive and talkative employee, and she naturally had all the inside scoop on the CEO. So, she instantly recognized his voice.

The envious and curious glances in Chloe's direction intensified. What kind of relationship did this woman have with the CEO to warrant a personal call from him? Had she really called the CEO just now?

"The CEO's office is on the 32nd floor," the envious employee said reluctantly.

"Thanks," Chloe said, heading straight to the elevator.

The elevator whisked her up to the 32nd floor in no time. Chloe walked through a corridor and stopped in front of the CEO's office door. Without hesitation, she knocked.

A man with gold-rimmed glasses, looking quite sophisticated, opened the door.

"I'm Teddy, the CEO's secretary. Ms. Chloe, the CEO is still in a meeting. You can wait here for a bit," he said.

"I think I'll wait in the lounge," Chloe responded politely.

Although Chloe didn’t recognize the girl, there was something familiar about the photo. Just as she was about to take a closer look, the door opened.

A tall figure stood in the doorway. Their eyes met. He saw Chloe holding the photo, his brow furrowing. But he didn't come in, waiting for her to say something.

Chloe, holding the photo, smiled and casually asked, "Your daughter?"

The man's brow furrowed even more. With an exasperated look, he walked over, snatched the photo, and put it back in its place. "Daughter? Not even close."

"Such language from the King of Eldridge, very classy," Chloe teased.
