Chloe shook her head, "No, Damon told me to wait for him."
Nate was getting anxious. It was freezing outside, and Chloe hadn't fully recovered from her illness. How could he explain to Mr. Harper if her condition got worse?
Chloe propped her head up with her hand, feeling dizzy from the alcohol.
"Maybe you can wait for Mr. Harper in the car?" Nate suggested again.
Chloe still shook her head.
"Forget it, I'll go find him."
Nate felt his scalp tingle.
He knew Mr. Harper must be busy socializing with important people right now, and Ms. Summers was clearly drunk. Wouldn't she be a disturbance if she went?
But Chloe wasn't thinking about that. She had been waiting for a long time, and Damon hadn't come yet.
She didn't know how much longer she had to wait.
Chloe leaned on the edge of the cement flowerbed and stood up. She swayed a bit before steadying herself, and Nate wanted to help her.
"It's okay, I'm fine. Thank you!"
Chloe saw Nate's intention and smiled, her rosy cheeks revealing a genuine smile.
Her usually cold and distant face seemed softened by the alcohol, and...
Nate didn't even want to think about it and immediately pulled his hand back.
Nate swallowed hard.
While Nate was panicking, Chloe was already wobbling towards the hotel.
"Ms. Summers..."
Nate immediately followed.
