Chapter 190
Chloe was a bit lost. "Who's it?"
Tony responded, "How could you not know this? The big money behind Eldridge TV is Eldridge Entertainment, and the chairman of Eldridge Entertainment is the legendary Claire."
Chloe was well aware of Claire.
She's Connor's older sister, and the family member with whom Connor had the worst relationship.
Chloe's heart started racing. Why did Claire want to see her?
Chloe figured she should let Connor know about this.
So, after the station manager left, Chloe dialed Connor's number, but the phone rang for ages without an answer.
Soon enough, the conference room door swung open again. Chloe turned around to see a middle-aged woman stepping in.
She looked impeccable, dressed in a white business suit. Her shoulder-length hair was softly curled, and her makeup was perfectly done.
She was incredibly well-maintained, not looking a day over forty. You could easily believe she was in her early thirties.
Like Connor's, her skin was a cool, glowing tone, giving her an air of aloof sharpness.
She carried a custom Hermes bag on her wrist and wore designer heels. Her neck and wrists were bare of any jewelry, yet she exuded a blend of efficiency and elegance.
Chloe put her phone away and made her way over to greet her. "Ms. Sartori, I've heard so much about you."
Chloe extended her hand for a handshake.
Claire, with a piercing gaze, had already assessed Chloe. She smiled warmly as she took Chloe's hand. "I suppose you know I'm Connor's older sister. Since you're his official girlfriend, you might as well call me 'sister' like he does."
Chloe remained highly respectful, but confidently spoke, "You're my elder. It wouldn't be right for me to overstep. I'll stick with calling you Ms. Sartori."
Claire seemed unfazed. "Suit yourself."
Claire walked into the conference room, casually tossing her bag onto a chair, and started making small talk. "Is this your first time in Eldridge City?" Chloe answered honestly, "I visited once as a child, but this is my first time here as an adult."
"Do you enjoy the scenery?"
"Eldridge City is bustling and vibrant. I like it a lot."
Claire smiled, "Eldridge City is indeed a land of prosperity, but such riches can easily blind people."
Her message was clear. She meant Chloe wasn't a match for Connor, or worse, she thought Chloe was with Connor for the money and status.
Chloe smiled, too. "Everywhere is
prosperous in this vast world. Ms. Sartori rest assured, I will keep your teachings in mind and strive to cultivate my heart."
Claire's eyes showed a hint of appreciation at her composed demeanor.
She actually smiled, "You remind me a bit of myself when I was younger. I like you."
Chloe remained respectful but distant. "Thank you for your kind words, Ms. Sartori."
Tony, standing nearby, was
sweating bullets. It was clear Msz
Eldridge, was trying to intimidate
Chloe. It seemed joining the ranks of
the wealthy wasn't a walk in the
park.
However, Chloe didn't falter. Instead, she was respectful and composed, skillfully handling the conversation without being overpowered.
It's truly a testament to her training at Riverbrook TV Station.
Claire said, "It's getting late. I've booked 'The Imperial' for dinner tonight. Tony, join us."
