Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 199

After Connor stepped up for Chief Lydia online and splurged on gifts for her, everyone started gossiping that he had a thing for her.

He didn’t mind those rumors at all.

Lydia thought about it for a second, then said, “I’ll do it when I have time.”

She only streamed when her schedule allowed. If she was busy, she just didn’t go live. But she couldn’t stay away too long, or Sue would absolutely freak out.

“Alright, I’ll wait for you,” Connor replied.

“Okay.”

“Have you had your meal?”

“Not yet.”

Connor frowned. “You’re still working? Do you even realize how late it is?”

“Have you?” Lydia shot back.

Connor grinned, his tone shameless. “Can’t eat. I’m too busy thinking about you.”

Lydia couldn’t believe it. The Connor everyone called cold and ruthless actually knew how to flirt.

When she didn’t answer right away, Connor wondered if he had scared her off. He cleared his throat, a little awkward. “Maybe we could eat together?”

“Well. I’m at the hospital with my parents.”

Connor got the message. “How’s Grandpa Wayne doing?”

“He’s alright. Nothing to worry about.” Lydia didn’t mention that Lucinda had once again caused Mr. Norwood to end up in surgery today.

“That’s good. I won’t keep you then. Go eat something. Let’s talk tonight.”

“Okay.”

Meanwhile, Milana was falling apart after her call with Dr. Hady.

What should she do?
