"I'm pissed off, so you better stay out of my sight." He uttered these words coldly and headed for the door. His aura was filled with tension, a cold breeze brushing past her.
Chloe didn't catch his gaze, but his icy tone and intimidating presence sent panic through her heart.
"Damon..." Chloe called after his retreating figure.
Damon had already opened the door. His tall figure paused in the doorway for a few seconds before he walked out.
The sound of the door closing was particularly jarring in the empty room. Chloe stood there, feeling a sense of dread.
Outside, Damon ran into Nathan and Kane who were just returning. Seeing Damon's displeased face, Nathan blinked, glanced at the closed door, and then looked at him again. "Damon, did Chloe piss you off again?"
This remark made Damon frown, his eyes filled with fury. "Buzz off."
Nathan took two cautious steps back. "Damon, you're upset, how about we go out for a drink? Let Chloe reflect on how out of line she was today!"
Damon gave him a cold glance, and Nathan shivered all over.
Kane quickly stepped forward to clarify, "What Nathan means is, Chloe is so smart, she will quickly realize her mistake. We just want to help you take your mind off things. Don't get too hung up on it..."
Nathan quickly nodded. "Yeah, yeah, he's right!"
Damon was silent for a while, then asked, "Got a smoke?"
Kane pulled out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it over. Just as he was about to light it, Damon stopped him.
"Damon..." Kane called out in confusion, but was pulled back by Nathan, signaling him to stay quiet.
Kane was somewhat bewildered and put away his lighter. "Or, Damon, let's go out for a drink, you won't care about anything once you're drunk."
Damon stared at the cigarette in his hand, then glanced at Kane indifferently.
...
Chloe stood in the empty room, feeling a bit lost. She admitted she was wrong today, and Damon had a reason to be angry. All of this was her doing, so she had no right to feel sad and wronged. But, being spoiled by him, she couldn't bear a bit of grievance. She was becoming more and more sensitive.
Taking a deep breath, she suppressed the unspeakable sadness and grievance in her heart, and then turned to follow him out. However, as soon as she opened the door, she saw a familiar figure.
Damon was leaning against the wall by the door, one hand in his pocket, standing there alone, a slender cigarette sandwiched between his fingers, silent, lost in thought.
At the end of the corridor, around the corner, Nathan and Kane were peering in this direction. When they saw Chloe running out, Kane finally realized.
