Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 281

This was the kind of situation that made everyone else green with envy.

The guy with the puppy-dog eyes was drop-dead handsome, and when he smiled, it was all sweetness and dimples—straight out of a comic book hero's playbook. But there was more to him than just good looks. Sometimes, he would sit deeply engrossed in a book or just lost in thought as he patiently waited for Chloe to finish her meetings or wrap up her live broadcasts. Even then, he radiated a certain refined elegance, like he was the cherished son of a wealthy family.

That wasn’t even the half of it. This guy was also incredibly thoughtful. He frequently brought flowers and homemade lunches packed with love, causing everyone around to turn green with envy.

It was obvious to everyone that he was head over heels for Chloe, who seemed to be playing hard to get. Each time he showed up, Chloe would try to avoid him. The office crowd couldn't help but tease him, "Hey, Pax, did you manage to win over your lady today?"

Pax would always respond with a bright, toothy grin, "I’m still trying."

Who wouldn’t fall for such an open, sincere, joyful, and ridiculously handsome guy?

Well, Chloe, for one.

Chloe was so stressed about the situation that she was practically losing hair over it. Every time she spotted Pax coming her way, she’d react like she’d seen a ghost, doing everything she could to avoid him. She just couldn't fathom why Pax liked her. She saw herself as an older, divorced woman and not exactly a catch for someone like him. Clearly, these rich kids were out of touch with reality.

Chloe had turned him down time and again, but Pax only seemed to get more determined with each rejection. She was at her wit's end.

One day, right after finishing her broadcast, she saw Pax waiting outside. Chloe clenched her fists, seriously considering if giving him a good whack might knock some sense into him.

"What’s going on?" Chloe asked, her brow furrowing, sensing trouble.

Tony looked hesitant. "It's about the variety show you’re coordinating. Eldridge TV mentioned that one of the female guests we were negotiating with couldn't join due to scheduling conflicts. They suggested we provide someone to replace her."

Tony watched Chloe carefully. "After discussing with the station manager, we decided you should replace her and join Ruben’s new variety show."

Chloe frowned, clearly deep in thought.

"Chloe, I get that you have reservations. You’re not a celebrity and haven’t done variety shows before. But you're a host, a public figure. Your popularity rivals that of many young stars in the entertainment industry.”
