Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

Chapter 483



Chloe couldn't help but laugh even harder as they talked about this. "You know, she used to be the ringleader when we were kids. Can you believe Dr. Winston actually calls her Kash? She's all about keeping up that strong, shining image and doesn't want Dr. Winston to see her as just another girl. She still wants to be Kash."

Chloe thought Cassie was being a bit childish. "Honestly, she's got the spirit of a boy, but she was born into a girl's body."

Connor's smile faded, and he suddenly got serious. "Does Cassie see herself as a guy or a girl?"

Chloe chuckled, "Why does it matter to you? That's her business."

“I don't really care. I'm just curious if she might have a thing for you,” Connor said, his eyes narrowing with concern.

He'd never really considered this before. Despite all the precautions, he couldn't help but worry about a close friend. If Cassie really thought of herself as a guy... The way she was always so chummy with Chloe, sometimes even hugging and kissing her.

Thinking about it, Connor found it hard to hide the sharp look in his eyes.

Chloe understood what Connor was getting at. "Relax. Even though Cassie dresses the way she does, she's still a girl at heart. She likes guys, not girls."

"Really?" Connor still sounded a bit skeptical.

"Of course! Haven't you seen that boxing ring she has in her bar? It's all for checking out those muscular guys. Cassie likes the tough ones, especially those who can fight better than her."

Chloe had pretty much spilled all of Cassie's secrets. She didn't have much of a choice; she knew how intense Connor could get when the lights went out.

Finally, Connor seemed reassured. "Your best friend's got good taste. Maybe I'll send a few pro boxers her way sometime."

Chloe was thrilled at the thought. "Do they all have eight-pack abs? Are they as handsome as you or even better?"

Connor, feeling a bit possessive, tightened his hold on Chloe's waist. "You should stay away from there, okay?"

And with that, he pulled Chloe into his arms and kissed her.

Chloe was left dizzy by his kisses, murmuring her agreement in a daze.

Connor, still not quite satisfied, said, "The office really isn't the best place for this."

Lately, Connor had been swamped with work, often getting home late. Sometimes, Chloe would hang out at his office so they could leave together.

After another long kiss, Connor coaxed her, "Come have lunch with me tomorrow."

With her eyes all misty, Chloe shook her head. "I have plans tomorrow."

"What plans?"

"Just looking into something. I'll fill you in once I know more."

Connor knew Chloe had her own stuff going on, so he didn't push it. Instead, he picked her up and headed towards the lounge. "Then how about a late-night snack with me tonight?"

The next day...

Chloe woke up to find the sun already high in the sky. It was rare for her to sleep so soundly. Last night had been tiring, and she'd ended up dozing off in the lounge.

She got up and walked barefoot on the carpet, opening the door to the lounge Connor was already deep into work, in the middle of an international video call early in the morning.

Chloe didn't want to interrupt him, so she turned back and saw a fresh set of clothes by the bed. She smiled, appreciating his thoughtfulness despite his busy schedule.

Especially since her blouse from yesterday had been ripped.

After a quick shower, she changed into the new clothes. Just as Connor was wrapping up his video call, he patted his thigh invitingly, "Come here."Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Chloe strolled over, gracefully sitting sideways on his lap, wrapping her arms around his neck, and gave him a quick peck on the lips. "Good morning, Mr. Connor."
