Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 456

Connor gave a nod. "If that's truly what you want, then swing by HR tomorrow."

Lisa could barely contain her excitement. She hadn't expected her plan to kick off so smoothly. Once she became Connor's personal assistant, winning him over seemed just a matter of time.

Chloe, on the other hand, knew Connor wasn't being entirely selfless. She glanced over at him, catching his sly wink. She kept quiet, sipping her soup, feeling a twinge of pity for Lisa, who seemed oblivious to the situation. To Lisa, though, Chloe's silence was just her swallowing her pride. If Connor had his sights set on her, what could her displeasure possibly do?

Jacob had something on his mind to discuss with Connor today, too. "Son-in-law, to be honest, Belle Époque's current situation..."

Before he could finish, Connor cut in, "Got some troubles you're hoping I could help with, father-in-law?"

Jacob was just about to speak when Connor continued, "No worries, just say the word, and I'll do my best to help."

He then turned to Chloe, taking her hand as it rested on the table. "Chloe mentioned we were just here for dinner tonight. I didn't realize everyone was waiting on me, but I get it; there's no such thing as a free meal."

He sighed, as if making a casual remark, then looked sincerely at Jacob. "No worries, what were you going to say, father-in-law?"

Jacob's words were caught in his throat. He'd hoped to talk about Belle Époque getting a spot in WORLD. If they could sneak in with the top global luxury brands, it would elevate their status significantly. Sure, there might be some initial skepticism, but with Chloe as creative director crafting stunning designs, Belle Époque could eventually become a leading international brand.

After dinner, Jacob suggested, "It's quite late, why don't you two stay over tonight?"

Chloe, in a cool tone, declined, "We'll head back after grabbing the marriage certificate."

"Right, the marriage certificate," Jacob echoed, "Leah, go fetch Chloe's certificate. Let's not delay their important errand."

Leah headed to the room to get it and returned quickly, but she looked quite troubled.
