Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 395

Chloe quickly nudged Connor, "Are you done yet? Someone's coming."

Connor furrowed his brows, fully absorbed in his task. "Three more minutes. Just three more minutes."

Chloe's eyes were glued to the figure approaching in the distance. Luckily, the corridor was long enough. The footsteps still sounded far away.

A minute ticked by. Chloe could now make out the silhouette. "It's the butler."

The butler was one of Claire's people. Given all the recent mishaps, he always seemed to have a hand in stirring the pot. If he caught them, everything they had worked for would go up in smoke.

Chloe clung to a shred of hope. Maybe the butler wasn't headed to the study.

Thirty meters from the study, a nanny happened to come up the stairs and bumped into the butler. "Sir, where are you headed?"

"Off to the study to fetch an antique vinyl record for madam."

"Let me get it for you."

"It’s okay. I'll do it myself."

Chloe's heart skipped a beat. What a stroke of bad luck—he was actually coming to the study.

She warned again, "Only thirty meters left."

Chloe had already shut the door. From the outside, it looked untouched. She scanned the room. There was nowhere to hide. The area under the desk was empty. The three walls were lined with bookshelves that reached the ceiling. Besides that, there was just an antique sofa.

In the next second, Connor stretched his arms out towards her. "Jump down. I'll catch you."

Chloe could hear the butler unlocking the door. She didn't have a choice. She quickly scrambled outside the window, drawing the curtains and closing the window behind her.

Chloe looked down. Her training was in Taekwondo. She had never jumped from such a height before. How was this different from jumping off a building?

But Connor mouthed silently, "Trust me!"

For some reason, Connor made all her fears evaporate. Chloe didn’t hesitate. She leaped.

In that moment, she didn’t feel danger. She felt like a graceful butterfly.
