A cheerful voice from Kane came through the other end. Damon pulled a face, a bit annoyed. He said in a low, cold tone, "What do you want?"
"What do I want? Didn't you just say we'd hang out again next time? We've changed the place. You should come over."
Damon didn't respond immediately, turning his head to glance at Chloe.
Then he walked over to Chloe, looking at her, "Do you wanna hang out?"
Chloe was taken aback for a moment, shooting a glance at the phone in Damon's hand, "Your... friend?"
Damon nodded, his gaze firmly on her.
A brief silence fell, and Kane on the phone was notably anxious, holding his breath and focusing intently on any sound from the phone.
What did he hear?
What on earth did he just hear?!
Did he actually hear a woman's voice?!
Damon... he had a girlfriend now?!
He gripped his phone tightly, pressing it close to his ear, continuously turning up the volume, afraid of missing any sounds.
A few seconds of silence felt like forever, and
Damon felt the same.
However, Chloe didn't say anything. Her phone suddenly rang.
Damon's brows twitched slightly as he watched her pick up the phone. He thought she was going to answer it, but all she did was casually hang up, then she looked up at Damon, smiling, "Sure, a weekend getaway sounds fun."
Damon cracked a small smile, then asked the person on the phone, "Where are you?"
"...Stardust Soiree."
