The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 276

For Chloe, getting praised for her smarts at this moment wasn't exactly a compliment.

She was quietly munching away at her peeled shrimp, slowly chewing, the taste quite bland.

“I always thought that the Olson Group was able to bounce back from the brink of bankruptcy and become the leading cosmetics company in the country in just three years due to a mix of strategy, luck and coincidence. But now it seems that might not more to it.”

Chloe: “Saying I'm too scheming is a bit much, I just seized the opportunity.”

Chloe looked up at him, Damon was also looking back at her with a playful smile, his seemingly relaxed demeanor making Chloe a bit nervous.

Damon picked up on her hesitation, his gaze growing deeper.

Damon: “Some things, if you don't want to talk about or can't talk about, then don't. But you're my girlfriend; I won't let you be in any danger, got it?”

Chloe looked at him steadily, shaking her head.

Damon pursed his lips, gave her a quick look, and said simply, “Take care of yourself.”

Chloe's eyes trembled slightly, finally, she slowly nodded.

“Alright.” She replied quietly, started to clean up the shrimp shells on the table, fell silent for a while, before speaking again:

Damon chuckled, sounding relaxed, “Seems I'm not as thoughtful as you. I thought you were killing three birds with one stone, didn't realize you already prepared for the penalty fee.”

Chloe glanced at him, “Since I started it, I can't let you bear too much loss. It's actually the card you gave that played a big role.”

“The fact proves that assigning this job to you was the right choice, you've played a big role.”

“I'm happy to do things for you. At least up to now, I can say I'm not just a troublemaker who only creates problems, but a woman worthy of standing by your side.”
