The room was quiet as a mouse, with only the hotel manager's voice filling the air. "Ms. Summers started off in the private suite of the CEO on the 26th floor, Mr. Stephen can vouch for that. Then, the front desk got a message that Rhoda from room 1606 requested Ms. Summers to personally deliver water to her. In the meantime, Rhoda knocked on the door of room 1613, had a chit-chat with Mr. Austin, and then headed back to her room. Soon after, Ms. Summers and Dorthy arrived at room 1606, delivered the water to Rhoda, and then both headed to room 1613, Mr. Austin's room. The CCTV footage clearly shows that Mr. Austin was trying to persuade Ms. Summers to enter his room, but Ms. Summers didn't lay a finger on him or step inside the room."
After explaining the surveillance footage, the manager took a breather, then glanced at Rhoda and Austin before continuing. "When Ms. Summers came down from the 26th floor to the front desk, the front desk just so happened to receive a room call. The female voice in the recording did say that the guest in room 1613 didn’ t know how turn on the TV. Then came the scene where Rhoda knocked on room 1613 and chatted with Mr. Austin. We later found out that the call didn't come from room 1613 but from the extension in room 1606."
At this point, it should have been crystal clear to everyone. This was all Rhoda's doing. She even had the nerve to knock on Austin's door only after setting the whole thing up. This kind of arrogant manipulation could really boil your blood when you thought about it.
Chloe, nestled in Damon's arms, watched Rhoda, whose face as pale as a ghost, with a smile on her face. Rhoda always thought she was sly as a fox, especially when she saw someone else in a pickle.
Pride went before a fall.
Especially when you thought about how smug and arrogant she looked before, compared to her expression now. It was like a slap in the face.
The curve of Chloe’s lips couldn't help but widen.
Damon sat next to her, seeing her lips slightly upturned, eyes full of amusement, he whispered, "Happy now?"
Her eyebrows twitched, and she turned her head to look at Damon, perhaps because his handsome face was too captivating, her smile deepened.
"Yeah, super happy. It feels great to have someone backing me up."
Damon smiled, "Only realizing that now?"
"…This experience was enlightening."
"Do you want my support in the future then?"
"Yes."
Without hesitation, Chloe answered firmly. Damon was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting Chloe's straightforward and firm response. Seeing her playful and cunning expression, he couldn't help but laugh.
This woman always brought him unexpected surprises. Many times, he really couldn't understand her thought process, and he didn't know what she was thinking. He was used to being in control of everything, but he rarely knew what she was thinking at any given moment.
Therefore, she always managed to give him unexpected surprises.
Chloe really liked Damon's deep laughter. His voice, full of affection and fondness, always made her feel at ease.
Deep down, she was always afraid of losing him. She always thought she was a boring person, not the type to act cute and win her boyfriend's favor as other women did. Having a failed relationship in her past made her even more anxious. Luckily, Damon didn't find her boring.
She leaned into his arms, continuing to watch the expressions on the faces of the people across from them.
