NovelEnglishChapter 249 Pax casually mentioned, "I'm in Paris to do small culinary jobs. I get 30 euros an hour. Not bad, right?" For the fashion show, the organizers provided boxed lunches for all the designers. And, in a thoughtful touch, the meals were tailored to each designer's nationality and dietary preferences. A task this big and complex needed a lot of hands on deck.
Chloe wasn't suspicious. In fact, she watched Pax with admiration. "Impressive, you know how to make money wherever you go." Pax scratched the back of his head and chuckled sheepishly.
Nina, ever the curious one, asked Chloe, "Is everything they say online true? Are you really the wrong daughter of that wealthy family?" Chloe nodded without hesitation. "Yep, that's me." Nina, clearly indignant, burst out, "That's so unfair! They're using your talent to gain fwithout giving you anything in return, Chloe..." Nina couldn't continue.

"What about me?" Pax suddenly chimed in.
"What about you?" Chloe was momentarily puzzled.
"Would you welcme?" Chloe grinned. Maybe it was the wine talking, but she did something she'd wanted to do since she first saw this fall boy. She stepped forward, tiptoed, and ruffled his fluff blond hair. Then she smiled, "Of course, you're welctoo." Pax was startled by her touch but didn't pull away. He even subtly lowered his head to make it easier for her. Chloe's touch was brief. His hair was just as soft and fluffy as she'd imagined. It was like petting a puppy.

Chloe sighed inwardly. She missed the early days with Connor, backn when he was more like a cute puppy instead of the aloof and proud CEO he had become. With a casual wave, Chloe turned around. "Goodbye, you two."
