Claud glanced at her with an indifferent look, his face emotionless, "See anything you like? I'll buy it for you."
Chloe sat there, her lips tightly sealed, closing her eyes in resignation.
"No need, Mr. Watson, I've got my own money." Chloe said.
"Consider it as compensation for not giving you roses." Claud said.
"Really, it's not necessary." Chloe was somewhat at a loss for words. She stared at Claud's handsome and indifferent face for a moment before finally blurting out, "Mr. Watson, what exactly are you trying to do?"
Claud gave a slight smile, not looking up, just calmly said, "Isn't it obvious? I'm pursuing you."
Chloe pursed her lips, "Mr. Watson, stop joking around. I've made it clear to you before, I don't feel any special affection from you. If you're just trying to compete with Damon..."
Before Chloe could finish, Claud suddenly looked up, his deep eyes staring at her, "You seem to underestimate me."
"So what are you thinking?" Chloe asked.
If she wasn't so sure that Claud didn't like her, she wouldn't have pressed him so hard.
Claud looked up, faced her. His handsome face slowly leaned closer to her, his voice deep and captivating, "Why are you so eager to draw a line between us? Can't you be like other women, not agreeing but not rejecting either? This way, you can have a backup plan. Just in case you run into trouble, you can ask me for help! You'd have an exit strategy, right?"
