Damon is the star of the show tonight, so naturally he's got some stuff to prep for.
And also, he's left some friends hanging downstairs waiting for him...
After Chloe gave him a nod, he flashed a satisfied grin before turning to leave.
Once Damon was out of sight, Rose Davis made a beeline for Chloe, handing her a glass of champagne.
"Look at you, Chloe, where'd you find such a catch? You're really stealing the show tonight."
Chloe retreated to the sides, making room for the dancers.
"Actually...we just met by chance."
She bumped into Damon at the hospital and who would've thought that in just a few days, things had escalated to this point.
"No way it's that simple!" Rose Davis exclaimed, scrutinizing Chloe's helpless face before pulling her aside.
"Although I might've been a bit dramatic before, I wasn't entirely wrong. Just seeing Keira and Lance tonight makes me wanna slap them both! You've broken up with Lance, yet they keep rubbing it in. And they're still planning on getting engaged, married..."
"Chloe, if you can, settle down as soon as possible. Not just to get back at them, but also for you to shift your focus away from them."
"..."
"I reckon that rich guy from before isn't that bad, he seems really into you."
Chloe looked up at her, "We've only known each other for a few days, and you just met him! How...how can you tell he likes me?"
Rose Davis sighed, "The way he looks at you is different from others, he's protective of you, he wants to be close to you, and most importantly, he smiles whenever he sees you..."
"Smiles?"
"Yeah, if someone smiles every time he sees you, he’s either an idiot or be in love with you."
Chloe fell silent...
Someone who smiles every time he sees you, is either an idiot, or in love with you...
