Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover



Connor chuckled, "So, if there's a big decision coming up for the project, I'll still need you to play the part."

"Why pretend? Do you think today's contract was just for show?"

Connor's eyes flickered with surprise.

Isaac chimed in, "Even though the Shaw family and Sartori Corporation have never been business pals, I'm really keen on this project. Thirty percent is thirty percent, and I'm all in with my money and support. From here on out, we're genuine allies."

Connor had only invited Isaac to play along, never imagining he'd actually invest.

Leaning back in his office chair, looking all laid-back, Connor mused, "Isaac, I thought I was the guy you couldn't stand?"

And he was right; Isaac did have a bone to pick with Connor.

During his time overseas, he'd earned the nickname "Eternal Isaac," all thanks to Connor.

He'd even sworn he'd beat him someday.novelbin

Scratching his head, Isaac said, "Yeah, I might not like you, but why let that stop me from making a buck?"

The two of them chatted a bit more about their business dreams.

Isaac suggested, "How about I call Taylor, you grab Chloe, and we grab some dinner together?"

After being swamped for so long, Connor finally felt a bit more at ease.

He agreed without a second thought.

Connor tried reaching Chloe.

But she wasn't picking up.

Meanwhile, Isaac had already called back, looking a bit bummed, "Taylor's got plans with her friends tonight."

Isaac frowned, "Seriously, what friends could be more important than me?"

Connor stared blankly at his phone.

Isaac perked up, "Hey, looks like you're not having any luck either."

Isaac strolled over to Connor, gave him a friendly pat on the shoulder, and said with a sly grin, "Perfect, I' take you to a cool spot tonight,. place just for the guys. It'd be.

Connor looked up, frowning, "I'm not into wild nights, don't drag me into anything sketchy."

Isaac rolled his eyes, "Relax, man. You really think I'd take you to some dodgy place? Trust me, it's not what you're thinking."

The spot Isaac took Connor to was indeed a restaurant.

But it was a boxing-themed joint.

The place was set on the second floor.

In the middle of the first floor, there was a boxing ring, giving everyone a great view.

Isaac found a seat and plopped down.

"Pretty cool, huh? You can eat and watch boxing matches here. They bring in star pro boxers with big prize money, so it's like a championship fight every day."

Connor was intrigued.

"I've heard about themed restaurants in Eldridge City, but this one's new to me."

Isaac responded, "It's only been open a few days, so it's no surprise you haven't heard of it. Know who owns this place?"

Connor shook his head.

Isaac grinned, "It's my Uncle Grant."

At the mention of Grant, Connor couldn't help but frown a bit.

Isaac went on, "Guests can even

Win against the boxer of the day, and you eat for free forever.

Connor's eyes shifted to the ring below.

The area around the ring was packed with people.

The crowd was buzzing with excitement.

The host grabbed the mic and stepped up to the stage.

He announced, "Up next is our challenge match. Anyone daring enough to take on our three-time champ, the Boxing Queen, Ms. Chloe?"
