Everyone's eyes followed Chloe's gaze as they turned to the entrance. Chloe's smile seemed to grow more radiant, her gaze pulling in closer.
Wendy's hands slowly clenched at her sides.
"Everything ready?" Chloe lifted her head, asking in a soft voice.
"Yeah." A deep voice responded, followed by a tall and slim figure steadily appearing at the banquet hall entrance.
He was wearing a fitted dark striped suit, paired with a white shirt. The button on his collar was a jumpy black, with a dark blue tie hanging around his neck. The diamond cufflinks on his sleeves shimmered under the lights, his innate aura giving him a very domineering and powerful presence.
He walked to Chloe's side, extended his long arm. His big hand naturally clasped her slender waist, pulling her into his embrace. They stood shoulder to shoulder, looking quite the perfect pair.
Even standing next to Damon, a man who was astonishingly handsome, Chloe's aura was not the least bit inferior.
"Been waiting long?" Damon asked.
"Nope." Chloe shook her head, smiling.
Damon gave a small smile as he swept his gaze across her face, then bent down to lean in, whispering in a low voice, "You look really beautiful."
Chloe's face flushed as she lifted her gaze to look at him.
Her long eyelashes fluttered, looking somewhat shy, causing the light in Damon's eyes to brighten.
They didn't linger at their spot for long, exchanging a few words before descending the steps. When Damon lifted his head again, the warmth in his eyes gradually receded. When he faced the crowd once again, he wore an indifferent expression.
"Isn't that Damon?"
"Why is he holding a woman?"
"True that, they do make quite a sight together."
"Rumor has it she's his fiancée." Someone suddenly blurted out.
A few people standing next to Wendy awkwardly glanced at her.
"Ah." Suddenly, they seemed to have said something wrong.
Wendy's expression was hard to hide as it changed. Shortly after, she gave a slight smile, heading towards the couple, "Damon, you're here too."
