Chloe's voice was a bit hoarse, reminding Damon of how she pleaded in his arms the night before. His eyes darkened a bit, his throat tightened, and it felt like his blood was boiling, concentrated on a certain part of his body.
He ran his fingers through Chloe's hair scattered on the pillow, watching her expression. Once he got a taste of the sweet stuff, he got hooked.
After deeply kissing her for a while, he mustered the last bit of his self-control. He let go of her lips, then pulled back the covers, lifting her out from under them.
Chloe yelped, one hand around his neck, the other in front of herself, her face flushed with embarrassment, "I'm still butt naked."
As Damon carried her towards the bathroom, he glanced down at her, "Is there any part of you I haven't seen yet? You're still so shy. From now on, just stay naked at home all the time. Get used to it."
Chloe didn't answer. That was a definite no-no.
At the hospital, Keira hadn't slept since waking up yesterday. News of her fainting was all over the internet. She'd been waiting for Lance to come comfort her, but he was a no-show.
The photos from last night had been removed from most websites. Her image had completely tanked. From last night, she knew Carolina received a call from the higher-ups, and got an earful. If it wasn't for Carolina's many connections, she would've been blacklisted.
Even if she wasn't blacklisted, with the scandals and the photos from last night, her image was in the gutter. Could she still make it in the entertainment business now? By now, she was probably the industry's laughing stock.
Another wave of dizziness hit her, her hatred growing stronger.
When Carolina walked in, Keira turned to look at her, tears falling, "Granny..."
Carolina deeply sighed, "Lots has happened recently, Keira. Now that the public knows you're sick, why not take this chance to give yourself a long break. Wait until the storm dies down, then make a comeback."
Right now, this was the only way to save Keira. Hearing Carolina say this, Keira understood, but still felt hurt.
Carolina frowned and was silent for a while, then a smile appeared on her face, "Don't worry, Keira! The fragrance competition is coming up soon, right? You should focus on preparing for that. It's an international level competition. If you perform well, even win something, you'll definitely get everyone's attention! Once your popularity rises, all those bad things in the past will be forgotten."
Keira's heart skipped a beat, her eyes lit up. Yes! The only thing that could turn the tide for her now was the fragrance competition!
Moreover, in this competition, she had to beat Chloe. This time, she would strip Chloe of her dignity in front of the whole world!
She tightly grasped the bedsheet, the intensity of it reflecting her resolve to defeat Chloe.
