Chapter 103 Friends with Age Gap
Downstairs, people were coming and going, and Chloe never expected Grant to be so bold. He actually kissed
her!
What's more, embarrassingly, she found herself utterly captivated by his kisses, unable to extricate herself.
Grant's kissing skills were exceptional, and as they shifted and deepened, both of them experienced a slight loss
of control in their actions. Her eyes widened, and her breath hitched, leaving her mind utterly blank. The kiss
was charged with an urgent fervor, as if Grant was conveying sdeep-seated desire and longing.
His fingers gently but firmly cupped her chin, holding her head steady, as though he feared she might evade
him. The overwhelming passion exploded in her chest, her heartbeat thundering like a drum. Initially, her hands
instinctively pressed against his chest, an attempt to push him away. But that resistance melted almost
immediately, and her fingers slowly traced their way up to his shoulders.
At that moment, someone called Chloe from the stairs, and she instantly cto her senses. She pushed Grant
away and fled in a panic. Smirking, Grant touched his lips. It was a disappointment that a deep kiss like that
ended so abruptly.
Escaping from Grant's room, Chloe nearly collided with Rena, who was anxiously searching for her on the stairs.
Beads of sweat glistened on Rena's forehead as she exclaimed, "Chloe, where did you go? | was looking all over
for you."
Chloe, still breathless from her encounter, tried to regain her composure. "I... | was just, um, talking with Grant,"
she stammered, her cheeks flushing a deep crimson. "Miss Thorne said she wanted to see Grant, so | cto
check when he would cdownstairs."
Rena raised an eyebrow, noticing Chloe's disheveled state and the unmistakable flush of her cheeks. "Just
checking, huh?"
Rena's words made Chloe feel guilty, and she quickly said, "Yes, | just cto check. What else do you think |
could be doing?"
Rena didn't press the issue further and pulled Chloe downstairs. "Alright, alright, let's not talk about this. You
should hurry downstairs; Michael said Jessica has arrived."
Hearing that Jessica had arrived, Chloe hurried downstairs. When she reached the door, Michael had already

When Jessica saw Chloe, she extended her arm and gave Chloe a deep hug, surprising everyone.
"Hello, Jessica," Chloe greeted Jessica.
Jessica warmly said, "Hello, little one. Long tno see. You've grown more and more..."
Jessica originally wanted to say "more and more beautiful,” but when she saw the mole on Chloe's face, she
swallowed the last word- Chloe couldn't be described as beautiful, only fresh and lively.
To prevent Jessica from saying the wrong thing, Chloe quickly gave Jessica a knowing look, and Jessica
understood immediately.
Although Jessica was nearly fifty years old, she exuded a timeless charm, her beauty as striking as ever. Her
warm, affectionate demeanor towards Chloe had not gone unnoticed, especially by Michael, who couldn't help
but feel a pang of envy.
The women sat together, engrossed in a variety of topics, talking about men, food, shopping, and more. Karlie
and Moira were busy asking Jessica for tips on skincare, while Michael pulled Chloe aside with Karlie and started
questioning her.
He asked, "Chloe, are you very familiar with Jessica?"
Chloe nodded. "Yes, very familiar. | met her when | was five. We're friends despite the age gap."
Hearing that Chloe and Jessica were friends made Michael's eyes almost pop out in envy. Jessica was a highly
respected figure in the entertainment industry, a true powerhouse. How could she be friends with a young girl
like Chloe?
He had to admit, he had underestimated Chloe before.
Michael's attitude softened. He said to Chloe, "Since you're friends with Jessica, could you put in a good word for
me? Maybe she could givesacting tips?" Chloe rolled her eyes, her patience wearing thin. "Why should |
help you?"
Michael's frustration bubbled over. "Why? Because you live off me. | provide the roof over your head, the food
you eat, everything you need. Liam might give you a hard time, but | don't. | always look out for you when we go
out. All I'm asking is for you to helpget closer to Jessica. Is that too much? If you don't, you can forget about
Michael was always long-winded, weaving elaborate narratives to leverage his supposed kindness and coax
Chloe into agreeing with him.
Chloe, however, remained circumspect. After enduring his lengthy monologue, she feigned being moved by his
words. "Mic, you do have a point," she said, sighing as if in resignation.
"Exactly." Michael's face lit up with joy.
"Alright then," Chloe continued, "considering how well you treatand my friends, I'll agree."
Her relenting made Michael

With that in mind, Chloe set a trap for Michael. She put on a serious face and said to Michael, "Mic, | did
introduce you to Jessica before, but she said she wants to see your skills."
"How do | show skills?" Michael was puzzled.

Hearing that he had to perform, Michael got interested. He was an actor, talented in many ways. Performing was
a piece of cake for him, right?
Soon, Michael agreed.
Chloe, in turn, gathered everyone into the living room, including Rena. As they settled in, anticipation filled the
air.
Chloe stood at the center, drawing everyone's attention. "Everyone," she began, her voice clear and inviting,
"Michael has prepared a special performance to welcyou all."
Hearing that Chloe had convinced Michael to perform, Rena got excited. She grabbed Chloe's hand and asked,
"What performance? What is my idol going to perform?"
Chloe's expression turned serious, and she smiled slightly, saying, "He's going to... cross-dressing!"
