Chapter 46


    After hours of mulling it over, she''d finally figured it out—it had to be that whole spiel about mutual


    benefits that got to him. At the golf course, his disdain for Chloe was as clear as day. He''d even


    gone as far as to publicly humiliate her.


    ''Even if Connor had agreed to the interview because of the bet he lost to Chloe, he did it under


    some serious pressure.'' Linda thought. That was why he didn''t specify who the interviewer should


    be when he called. Linda showing up had actually yed right into Connor''s hand. No matter how


    you sliced it, she wasing out on top.


    Teddy had everyone set up in the conference room. "Our CEO''s in a meeting right now," he


    announced. "He''ll be here for the interview as soon as it''s done. You can get everything ready in the


    meantime."


    Linda nodded. "No worries, Teddy. We''re all set."


    Ten minutester, the door to the conference room swung open. Linda quickly got up and walked


    over. She stood in front of Connor and extended her hand with a polite smile. "Mr. Connor, I''m


    Linda, your interviewer for today. We met yesterday, and I''m thrilled you agreed to this exclusive


    interview. It''s truly an honor."


    But Connor didn''t take her hand. Instead, he furrowed his brows slightly, which sent a shiver of


    unease down Linda''s spine. To avoid any more awkwardness, she pulled her hand back and tried to


    move things along. "Mr. Connor, we''re ready to begin. Shall we start the interview?"


    "Hold up," Connor said coolly. "The person I agreed to do this interview with wasn''t you, Ms. Linda."


    Linda''s stomach dropped, but she forced herself to stay calm, hoping to salvage the situation.


    "Yesterday, I mentioned that Riverbrook TV Station is eager to create a win-win situation with Sartori


    Corporation. Going forward, we''ll do our best to meet any of your requests."


    She clung to a shred of hope that this offer might sway him, but Connor was having none of it. "Ms.


    Chloe won our game of golf yesterday, and her prize was this interview. You were there and should


    know this better than anyone."


    Connor''s words were icy,ced with a hint of disdain. "I honor my bets. I agreed to an interview with


    Ms. Chloe and no one else. If she isn''t here, then there''s no interview today." With that, Connor


    turned and left the room.


    Linda felt a cold sweat break out, and the whispers started almost immediately. "So it wasn''t Linda


    who secured Mr. Connor''s interview?" "Did Mr. Connor mean Chloe secured it? It sounds like he


    lost a bet to her, so that''s why he''s doing the interview." "In the whole station, Chloe''s the only one


    who could pull this off. She''s the interview queen." "But Linda imed it was her doing. How


    embarrassing to get called out like that."


    Linda felt like the room was spinning, but she bit her lip, pretending nothing had happened. She


    turned around with a calm demeanor and said, "I must have misunderstood yesterday. Let''s get


    Chloe in here."


    The assistant immediately called Tony and ryed everything that had just gone down. Tony was


    equally shocked and quickly found Chloe.

    "Chloe, the interview was rightfully yours. Why didn''t you set the record straight? We almost got the


    wrong idea."
