Rose said, her eyes getting a bit red but still smiling,
"Don't be fooled by her tough exterior. She's just been hurt a lot, and with no one to protect her, she has to protect herself. Actually, she's more fragile than anyone else. So... don't bully her. Treat her well, and protect her! I'm not qualified to entrust her to you, but if you ever make her sad, I have the right to take her away from you."
Chloe felt a lump in her throat.
Rose’s words said hit her right in the softest part of her heart.
She was grateful for this huge blessing the world had given her.
"Rose..."
Chloe let out a long sigh, overwhelmed with emotion, at a loss for words. She could only reach out, wanting to hold Rose's hand.
But a large hand grabbed her outstretched hand halfway.
Chloe turned to look at Damon, who was holding her hand with a casual expression, pulling it back and placing it firmly on his thigh.
Then he picked up a wine glass, raised it, and smiled at Rose,
"You won't get that chance."
Rose chuckled, "I hope so."
They each drained their glasses, and tonight's dinner ended.
At the Red Carpet Entertainment parking lot, Damon, with Chloe by his side, looked at Rose and smiled lightly,
"We've all had drinks tonight, so I'll arrange for someone to take you home."
Rose didn't refuse, "Thanks for going to the trouble, Mr. Harper."
"In that case... Rose, take your pick."
"Pick what?"
As soon as Rose's words fell, many people appeared out of nowhere, standing neatly in front of them.
All men, tall and good-looking.
"Rose, just choose whoever you like, and take them away without hesitation."
"...What do you mean?"
