Chloe gave a slight smirk, "Yeah, what a coincidence."
Was it really though?
She was a born and bred P City girl, only heard of this place, and never been here. Today was just a fluke because Stanley had annoyed her, so she chose to come here.
Back in the day, she was the darling of the Summers family, and outdoor activities were never her cup of tea. In the past three years since she returned from overseas, she was busy with the Olson Group, then busy with Starlight International. She never set foot here.
This place was mostly a man's playground, there were women too, but only a handful. She rarely set foot in such a place, and she ran into them just like that?
She thought back to the call she made earlier to the Harper family, the one Addie picked up. All that talk about worrying the elders, ha... Having family ties did come with quite a few perks.
Chloe didn't say much to Wendy, but the next second, Wendy's gaze shifted to Damon, who was not far away. She remembered the slap he had once given her, her face filled with hurt and fear.
In her brightly colored riding outfit that highlighted her figure, she stood at a height that was neither too short nor tall for a woman, showing both strength and gentleness. Her already stunning face now carried a hint of melancholy, her sadness hidden behind a façade of strength and patience. It was just right. Just the kind to make a man's heart melt.
She sure did have plenty to be proud of. Be it her figure, her pretty face, or her family background. If a woman could live a life like Wendy's, that was worthy of envy.
"Miss, this outfit really suits you. I've been working here for two years, and you're the most stunning in a riding outfit I've ever seen. What a sight!" The waitress who came out with Wendy saw the tension and broke the ice, naturally thinking about her own performance.
Wendy eased her face and gave a light smile, "You're exaggerating."
"It's true, miss." The waiter next to Chloe chimed in, "Don't believe me? Look around, aren't they all looking at you? If you weren't that outstanding, how would you get such a reaction?"
Indeed, the customers choosing clothes in the store were all looking at her. The envy in women's eyes and their eagerness to try, as well as the astonishment in men's eyes, all reflected the waiter's words.
Wendy glanced around and just gave a faint smile, not putting on any airs, accepting these gazes gracefully. Seeing the affirmation, her confidence was boosted and her face looked more radiant.
Wendy, full of hope, looked at Damon, but he was just standing by the shelf, watching Chloe pick gloves without any expression.
