His gaze unintentionally landed on Katie, and he suddenly choked up.
"Ms. Chloe...I..."
"Not in the mood?" Chloe raised an eyebrow at him.
Biting her lip lightly, Katie glanced at Miles' troubled expression, then said, "Chloe, if you're too busy, I can handle it myself. I've already bothered Miles for too long..."
Seeing Katie's considerate manner, her slightly timid and pitiful demeanor stirred something in Chloe's heart.
"I'm not that busy, actually, maybe I should take you for a meal..."
Before she could finish her sentence, she was suddenly pulled into a cool, fragrant embrace. In the next moment, a deep and hypnotic voice sounded from beside her.
"Done with your work? Hmm?"
Oh boy... His tone sounded extremely affectionate, but to Chloe, it felt cold and filled with veiled warnings.
"All done."
Damon slightly smiled, "Still hungry?"
"...No."
Miles and Katie were not without judgment. They could clearly sense the tension between Chloe and Damon, which prompted Miles to hurriedly suggest, "Katie, you haven't had dinner yet, right? How about... we eat together?"
No longer shy, Katie nodded repeatedly. "Sure, let’s eat together..."
With that, they headed towards the restaurant.
In another secluded corner, Jacob watched as Miles left with Katie, his face turning sour. So it was Miles who had styled that woman!
His gaze landed warily on Chloe, the cunning CEO of Starlight International. He still remembered Jeanette’s stunning concert vividly and her unique red hair. His gaze fell on Miles again, then, with a cold laugh, he turned to leave.
Chloe was leaning on Damon, who was in a less than cheerful mood, and blinked at him.
Just then, a waiter passed by. She quickly grabbed two glasses of wine and handed one to Damon.
"We should... have a drink."
Damon looked down at the transparent glass, remained silent for a few seconds, then accepted the glass.
"We can toast to whatever you like." Chloe said.
Such a carefree attitude, so full of bravado.
Thinking about her reaction when she saw Katie easily defeated, and it really... pissed him off!
So she didn't like seeing women being weak and pitiful?
She had the potential to be a “player”. She could be easily led by the nose by a few sweet words from a woman!
Seeing that Damon intended to make a toast yet remained unmoved, Chloe was a bit nervous for a moment.
