Chapter 155


    Connor leaned on his arms, his gaze piercing as he looked down at Chloe beneath him. Her skin was glowing, giving off an air of delicate beauty. He greedily took in every inch of her, savoring every subtle expression. His voice, already deep and husky, had a maic pull to it.


    "The Paradise Resort project is about to kick off. I''ll be swamped soon and probably won''t have the luxury of nights like this," he said.


    Chloe almost breathed a sigh of relief, but then Connor added, "So, how about one more round?"


    By the time Chloe fully woke up, Connor had already left for work. She couldn''t remember drifting off, utterly exhausted. Normally a light sleeper, she had managed to sleep deeply for a while.


    She felt refreshed when she got up, clearly having taken a bath at some point. She then made herself a cup of coffee and picked up her phone, finding it flooded with missed calls-most from Linda and one from Lucas. Chloe didn''t bother calling back. She simply blocked both numbers.


    Meanwhile, in the CNR Tower executive office, Teddy was going over work updates and the uing schedule. Connor suddenly asked, "Did the team from Leading Heights arrive for today''s project meeting?"


    "They''ve been here for a while, waiting in the meeting room," Teddy replied.Original content from N?velDrama.Org.


    Today marked the officialunch of the Paradise Resort project, with arge meeting organized and led by Connor himself. Leading Heights, as the main contractor, was naturally in attendance.


    "Who''s heading their team?" Connor asked, catching Teddy off guard.


    "It''s Lucas, the General Manager of Moncada International. He''s in charge of the Paradise Resort project," Teddy exined.


    Connor''s lips curled slightly. After the way Chloe had thrown him off the night before, he half-expected Lucas to beid up in a hospital bed.


    Half an hourter, Connor pushed


    open the door to the meeting room. The room wasrge, with a long table already packed with people. The Paradise Resort project involved many sectors, but the construction by Leading Heights was currently the most crucial. Thus, Lucas and his team were seated closest to the head of the table.


    Connor took his ce at the head without hesitation. He nced at Lucas, noting his downcast gaze, which was focused on a stack of documents, looking lifeless.


    The meeting dragged on for four hours, stretching into the afternoon. As it concluded, Connor directly addressed Lucas, “Mr. Lucas, the Paradise Resort project is massive, and the timeline is tight. You''re aware of this, right?"


    Lucas responded in a formal tone, "Mr. Connor, Leading Heights will do everything possible to meet CNR''s trust and expectations."


    Lucas had been drunk the night


    before, dismissing the Paradise


    Resort project in his inebriation. The


    reality was that Moncada


    International was in a tight spot and desperately needed this project, it was a golden opportunity, one that could potentially save Moncada International and catapult them to new heights. From that angle, he owed Connor a big thank you.


    Connor nodded, "Starting today, Mr. Lucas will be the project director for Paradise Resort on behalf of Leading Heights. This project must meet all quality standards without fail. Therefore, I expect you to be on-site at the construction office, keeping in line with the workers on the front lines and personally overseeing the big picture."
