"I really gotta start cooking…"
Chloe tried to push off Damon, but he held on to her hand tightly.
His palm was as hot as fire.
Chloe's eyes trembled slightly, but she dared not look into Damon's eyes anymore.
Nonetheless, Damon pulled her closer, took a step back, and lifted Chloe off the ground.
"Earlier…you did well." Damon's voice was deep and slow, as if he was trying to lure her heart.
Chloe turned her head, looking at the ingredients ready not far away, and asked, "Do you still want me to cook or not?"
"Go ahead."
His response sounded reluctant and helpless.
Chloe moved her lips a bit, her expression tangled. She pouted her lips, looked at Damon for a while, then pulled his hand and gave his arrogant chin a peck.
"You better get out now, I'll call you when I'm done."
"Mhm."
"You might want to change your clothes." Chloe couldn't help but add.
"And what if I don't?"
"I might do something inappropriate to you, can you think of anything else?"
Damon raised an eyebrow, "Then I won't change."
Chloe tightly closed her mouth, deciding not to say another word.
Damon stayed in the kitchen for a while, then was personally escorted out by Chloe.
"If you're really bored, go to work. Your real battlefield is the business world, not the kitchen!"
Damon probably did have work to do, so he didn't insist on staying.
Forty minutes later, Chloe finally served all the dishes on the table, then went upstairs to call Damon.
This was her first time at his apartment, but the layout was basically the same as upstairs, so she quickly found his study.
The door to the study wasn't closed, and Damon was sitting in his chair, calmly reading the documents in his hand.
He no longer had the easy-going atmosphere when he was with her earlier. Now he was as calm and serious as when she first met him.
He slightly tilted his head in thought. It seemed he was always deliberately lowering his status to accommodate her.
Chloe stood at the door, knocking softly.
