If they loved to go nuts, let them go bonkers. But if no one was gonna bother with them, their spotlight was gonna dim.
Everyone had been keeping tabs on Chloe these days. She was all "whatever" about it, and her attitude had everyone forgetting about the three-day deadline Carolina set. Well, that didn't include those journalists always sniffing around for news.
Today, Carolina strutted into Starlight International, kicking up a fuss. She was all high and mighty, shamelessly clear about her goal: pay up or I'll see you in court.
Some people got ticked off and gave her a piece of their mind, only to get swarmed by her fans. A war of words was about to erupt when Damon suddenly popped up on camera and everything flipped.
"Man, this guy is top-notch."
"Way to go, absolutely smashing. Made my day."d2
"Damn, I wish I had a man like that."
"I used to trash talk him. I so regret it now. How could I have used such harsh words? I messed up, I need to repent."
"Is that the point?! Nope! Can someone tell me who's the shy lady in the frame?!"
"It's Ms. Summers! What a sight! Women are such fickle creatures."
"Is that the point?! Nope! The point is, I'm drowning in their sweet lovey-dovey vibes. How can their love be so sweet?!"
"The point is, where are they planning to have lunch? You know what I mean."
"Right, right, haha, that's the real deal. Hope they stuff their faces."
Damon had already instructed the chef to prepare lunch. The pair just stepped in the house, the warmth of the room made Chloe sigh. "Home sweet home."
Suddenly, she was pulled into Damon's embrace, the zip on her down jacket slowly being pulled down. "You're not dressed warm enough. If you keep this up, you're staying in."
Chloe spread her arms, helping Damon slip off her down jacket. Her skin, accentuated by the grey fitted sweater, looked even smoother, giving off a refreshing vibe.
The body wrapped in the down jacket exuded a faint fragrance. A unique scent to Chloe, making Damon's gaze even more intense. This scent was with him every day, this body with its familiar fragrance coming close to him every night. It took all his willpower just to hold her.
At night, he had to remind himself to stay alert, not to make a move on this woman. Otherwise, he'd be the one suffering. He'd had his fair share of losses with her.
But now, he realized that even helping her off with her jacket could stir him up without her even knowing it.
Chloe, completely oblivious to the man beside her being smitten, reached out to help Damon unbutton his jacket.
"I've pretty much sorted out the company affairs. From now on, the reins of Starlight International are in your hands."
Damon's gaze followed Chloe's busy hands on his chest. "Me in charge?"
"Yes." Chloe nodded. All buttons undone, she looked up at him with a smile, saying, "I'm pregnant, how could I cope? So I'm counting on you."
A hint of a smile flashed in Damon's eyes, "You're willing to let go of the company?"
