Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

Chloe had no clue why Linda was there, but she was long past the point of caring about their rivalry. Maybe leaving this place wasn't such a bad idea after all.

At nine o'clock, everyone headed to the conference room for a meeting.

Tony said, "Lynn's wrapping up her handover and leaving the network in a week, so we need to decide on the new prime-time host within this timeframe."

Vivian chimed in, "Sir, I think Linda would be perfect. I recently saw her work at NBC, and she was amazing. She filled in as NBC's international host and even smoothly switched between English and Spanish. Her hosting was top-notch."

Tony nodded, "Linda is indeed impressive, but this position was originally meant for Chloe. She has the most advertising contracts and the highest popularity."

Vivian retorted, "We're not the advertising department. What matters here is professional ability. If we start focusing on who has the most ads, soon everyone will be more interested in courting sponsors than doing real journalism."

The words "courting sponsors" were laden with sarcasm and clearly aimed at someone.

Chloe casually flicked her hair, "At Titan Corporation's business banquet the other day, I overheard their employees talking about a girl from our station with lip filler who's been cozying up to Kaden daily. Kaden’s wife Grace saw her sitting on Kaden's lap, calling him 'daddy,' and slapped her right then and there. Now, Kaden and Grace are getting divorced. I'm really curious. Do we actually have someone like that here?"

Vivian's face went pale instantly. Furious, she stood up, "Chloe, stop making things up."

Chloe smiled, "I never said it was you. Our station is big, and you're not the only one with lip filler."

"I just think you're right. Our focus should be on journalism. Sucking up to sponsors can backfire badly. Grace is notorious in Riverbrook for being a fierce woman. Once, a secretary from Titan Corporation tried to seduce Kaden, and Grace ended up having her stripped down and thrown out of a mall. Coincidentally, I added Grace on Messenger after the last business dinner, and just yesterday, she was asking me about the mysterious girl with lip filler…"

Vivian's expression shifted from anger to panic. "What did you tell her…"

Her words betrayed her true intentions, and the atmosphere in the room shifted as everyone eyed her differently.

But right now, Vivian couldn't afford to care. She knew Grace's methods all too well. Fortunately, she had fled quickly the last time. She covered her face so Grace couldn't get a good look. But she hadn't expected Grace to remember her distinctive lip filler.

Chloe watched Vivian with a smile full of knowing satisfaction.

Just as Vivian was about to be consumed by fear, Chloe began slowly, "This is about our network's reputation. I haven't replied yet because I haven't investigated thoroughly. I had actually forgotten about it until you reminded me by bringing up the topic of sponsors."

Vivian let out a sigh of relief. At that moment, her gaze towards Chloe was filled with caution.

Chloe was indeed cunning. She knew Grace was inquiring about Vivian but did not tell her and was using it instead as leverage. Now, Vivian was powerless to do anything about it.

Reluctantly, Vivian sat back down, not daring to utter another word.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
