Had their relationship really ended just like that? He couldn't risk anything until he was sure he could protect Chloe. Luckily, the resort was his ace in the hole. If the Paradise Resort project went smoothly, Jeffery would hand over control to him completely. By then, he would have the strength to go toe-to-toe with Claire and take everything from her, leaving her with nothing. Once he dismantled her influence, he'd have nothing to fear anymore.
Still, he was worried. Could Chloe wait until that day? Would she fall for someone else before then? And even if that day came, would she return to him once she knew the truth?
The next day, Chloe's annual leave was over. She headed back to the TV station. During the meeting, Tony suddenly announced, “Chloe and I learned a lot of advanced techniques from Eldridge TV, and the director has decided that our station will co-produce a variety show with Eldridge TV. Plus, we've got Ruben, the father of variety shows, on board.”
Tony then shifted gears. “Chloe, this project is yours to lead. You'll be in charge of liaising with Ruben's team. This variety show is Riverbrook TV Station's flagship project. The director's putting a lot on the line for this, Chloe, so you need to take it seriously.”
Chloe replied coolly, “Why me? What about my anchor duties?”
“Lynn's planning to come back. The prime anchor position is still yours, but Lynn will fill in for you when you're busy. She'll be your backup. How does that sound?”
Lynn had been a staple at the TV station, holding the prime anchor spot for a decade. She had jumped ship to Eldridge TV but returned in less than two months. Now, she came back with a different status. The fact that Riverbrook TV Station accepted her back was already commendable. In fact, Lynn had mentored Chloe when she first joined Riverbrook TV Station, and they had a good rapport.
