NovelUSAHalfway through dinner, Jacob suddenly piped up, "Hey, Chloe, got a call from Tony at your station today. He said
you quit your job there?" Chloe took a calm sip of her soup. "Yep, I did."
Leah shot Chloe a surprised look. She couldn't believe Chloe had actually left the TV station. Back when she was
deciding what to study, Leah had hoped she'd go for design or business, but Chloe was dead set on media. She
always said being a journalist was her dream. Despite all the bumps along the road, she had finally made it to
the TV station. Leah never thought she'd abandon her dream so easily. Did something happen? Though she was
worried, Leah kept quiet and just let out a soft sigh.
On the flip side, Lisa was over the moon. Without the glamour of being a prime-thost, Chloe was just like
everyone else. How could she possibly outshine her now?

Jacob chimed in, "You should've left that job ages ago. It wasn't doing anything for the family business. Now
you're free, why not join the company? Dad's always kept the head designer spot open for you."
Lisa flared up immediately, "Dad, you can't do that! That position is supposed to be mine."
"Quiet down. After everything, you still want to be head designer? Everyone knows you copied Missy's designs.
It's your plagiarism that's brought the company down, and you still have the nerve to go for that position?" Lisa's
face flushed with embarrassment. Meanwhile, Chloe casually said, "I'm thinking of taking a break and not
working for a while."
Jacob quickly tried to smooth things over, "I get it, you just quit and probably want stto relax. Go ahead,
have fun. When you're ready, the position's waiting for you."
Chloe shrugged, "We'll see."
Lisa glared at Chloe's nonchalant attitude, seething inside. The role she was dying for, Chloe couldn't care less
about. Chloe must be doing it on purpose, just to rub it in. Lisa was so frustrated she nearly snapped her spoon.
Then a thought struck her. Having Chloe work at the company was better than her hanging around Connor. After
all, being close could work in her favor.
Lisa suddenly spoke up, "Dad's always favoring Chloe. Since there's no place forat the company, hey
Connor, can you hookup with a job at your place? I've been stuck at hfor a month, and I'm bored out of
my mind."

Chloe looked up at Lisa, eyes cold and knowing. She was well aware of what Lisa was plotting. And Connor? He
knew too.
Connor leisurely dabbed his mouth with a napkin. "The jobs I've got, you might not be cut out for."
Lisa, sensing a glimmer of hope, perked up. "Oh, con, Connor can handle anything. Whatever job you have,
I'm game. Even if it's just making coffee or cleaning up, I'm all in
Lisa thought she'd made her intentions clear enough. She wanted to be his secretary, to be close, making his
coffee, tidying his office.
Connor said, "Having you do that would be beneath you."
Lisa was thrilled. Connor was actually thinking about her! "Not at all, not at all. Working at CNR would be a
dream ctrue. | can handle any tough job you throw my way."
