Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover by Rosa Winters

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 Epoque's current situation..."

Before he could finish, Connor cut in, "Got stroubles 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 | 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 Epoque 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

sinitial skepticism, but with Chloe as creative director crafting stunning designs, Belle Epoque could

eventually beca leading international brand.

But that chance was spoiled by Lisa. If she hadn't jumped in with her request, and Jacob had spoken first, Connor

might have been on board Bombarding Connor with demands on his first visit might make it seem like the

Meadows family was just out to use him.

Jacob also worried Connor might take out his frustration on Chloe. If Mr. Connor becdisappointed in her, it

could strain their relationship, which would be a loss far worse than missing out on a business opportunity.

In the end Jacob swallowed his words. They could wait until after the wedding when the relationship was more

secure. There'd be plenty of chances then, no need to rush.

Jacob smiled, "I don't have any requests, son-in-law. I'm just grateful for how well you're looking after my

daughter."

He raised his glass, "Here's to you."

Connor gave a faint smile and clinked glasses, "Father-in-law, you're too generous."

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.
