What could they possibly say? Any word could hurt Damon's pride.
Damon's face turned cold. He glanced at Fritz, then sullenly put the burnt piece of meat onto his own plate.
Then he said, "I like it charred."
Chloe couldn't help but laugh. Was this Damon's pride?
She took the tongs from Damon's hand and picked a piece of meat from the plate to grill.
Damon watched her with a serious expression, "I'll do the grilling."
Chloe knew his ego was at play, and she chuckled, "But I want to grill for you."
Hearing this, Damon raised an eyebrow, "Alright, I'll give you this chance."
Chloe was amused by Damon's reaction. She started grilling the meat with a smile. She would put the cooked meat on his plate, and occasionally on her own. All in all, she gave more meat to Damon and less to herself.
Fritz, sitting opposite, was quietly eating his own freshly grilled meat, which tasted awful to him now. He wished he could disappear right now. He really didn't want to disturb the couple anymore.
He felt his presence didn't affect the two across the table at all, but he was nearly blinded by their affectionate behavior.
Damon was enjoying Chloe's service, and he was eating happily. During the gaps in grilling, Chloe would pass a lettuce leaf to Damon, with grilled meat wrapped inside. She would occasionally instruct Damon on how to better enjoy the barbecue.
Sometimes Chloe would think about giving Fritz a couple of pieces of meat, but she would stop under Damon's sharp gaze.
In the end, Fritz was completely defeated by their affection. He even felt a bit dizzy.
Looking at the affectionate couple across from him, he still couldn't believe it.
How did they get together? Why did they get together? If they weren't together, who would they be with?
Was it fate for them to be together?
But the president of the Harper Group...
He was the nouveau riche in the gossip...
He was a gangster...
He was his boss...
He was Chloe's fiancé...
Chloe was his boss...
Fritz felt an indescribable emotion in his heart. After dinner, he saw Damon and Chloe off, with a baffled look on his face.
The world was really big, anything was possible.
It was beyond his expectation. But the president of the Harper Group and Chloe were really a good match.
In the car, Chloe patted Damon's shoulder with a smile, "You did well tonight."
"Hmph," Damon snorted, "I really want to see how many unreliable men will appear around you now."
"Huh?"
Damon gave her a glance, "You're quite careless."
Damon pursed his lips, noted it down for future reference, and would catch them all in one swoop when the time was right!
They went straight to Emerald Valley Estates that night. Surprisingly, they bumped into Nathan at the entrance of the apartment.
