Wendy clearly got what Damon was saying, she always had confidence in her judgement and intuition.
After a while, she chuckled softly, "Not all decisions you make are necessarily right."
Having said that, Wendy shot a quick smile at Damon's handsome and gloomy face.
"I'm going to check on Elsa downstairs. Oh, your mom is coming back in a few days, right? I've already told her that I'll pick her up that day." It was as if nothing had happened. Her conversation with Damon felt like a dream that vanished instantly.
Then she left, her smile so perfect no one could find fault with it.
The words she wanted to say to him, she couldn't utter a single one. Instead of watching him being stubborn, she'd rather prove him wrong with facts.
...
When Damon returned to the hospital room, he bumped into Nate at the door.
"Sir, what do you and Ms. Chloe want for lunch? I'll get it ready."
Damon pondered for a moment, and finally decided to ask Chloe's opinion in the hospital room.
Opening the door to the hospital room, Nate followed Damon in, and
he saw Chloe sitting on the sofa, watching the entertainment channel.
The channel was airing an interview with the popular young actor, Winston. The reporter was asking about his recent new work.
The popular TV show was also being closely watched by everyone. One of the characters in the show, Keira , had gotten into big trouble and was currently in the hospital due to serious injuries. Once her wounds healed, she would be sentenced, with the worst-case scenario being imprisonment.
When Keira was frequently appearing in negative news, some people suggested changing the character. However, the director saw Keira's influence at that time, and insisted not to change it, only thinking that Pulse Entertainment would help Keira resolve all problems. As a result, Keira ended up ruining her own future.
But it wasn’t not bad now. With Keira's current bad reputation, it was inevitable that the crew would change the character, and they didn’t have to bear with the previous negative comments of kicking Keira where she was down.
It was a good deal, but a new character would need to be picked next.
This was the first time Winston encountered such problems at work since returning to his home country, which made his fans and himself a bit uncomfortable.
Hence, during the interview, Winston's usually icy look darkened rapidly when he heard Keira's name, becoming extremely gloomy.
Even Chloe, who was sitting there, couldn't help but break into a cold sweat for those uninformed reporters.
Fortunately, the savvy manager handled all the reporters with an official smile and words, and then took Winston away with a few assistants.
Chloe heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that Winston was indeed a ticking time bomb. Even in Hong Kong she had to worry about him.
However, the character that Keira withdrew from, she could consider it.
Chloe was deep in thought.
In the luxurious hospital room, all the facilities were top-notch. The table in front of the sofa was wiped clean and shiny, reflecting the light from the TV screen, clearly illuminating Chloe's figure.
One of her hands rested on the armrest of the sofa on her left, her fingers leaning against her cheek, her eyes slightly closed as if she was contemplating something.
Damon watched Chloe's reflection on the table, seeing her staring at the TV for a long time, and then gradually lost in thought. This made Damon slightly frown, feeling a bit unhappy.
He didn't even catch her attention when he entered the room.
Nate noticed the Damon’s mood was a bit off, and he slightly curled his lips.
He seemed to have gotten used to Chloe easily affecting Damon's mood.
Damon stepped on the soft carpet, walked to her side, and pulled Chloe, who was still in deep thought, into his arms.
The familiar faint scent immediately surrounded her. A glint flashed in Chloe's eyes, and she slightly curled her lips.
"What are you thinking about?" Damon's voice was still deep.
Chloe was a bit helpless. She nuzzled her head in his chest, "I'm not thinking about anything."
