Damon's gaze swept over a couple of lines on the document, before his eyebrows knitted together.
"Aren't you tired? Go take a seat on the couch."
Chloe didn't move, "Do you still have a lot of work to do?"
"Not much."
Chloe stayed put, her hands still on Damon's shoulders but no longer massaging.
The office fell into silence again. If the silence lasted only briefly, it would have been fine. But if it lasted too long, it would start to feel a bit off. It seemed like an subtle atmosphere was filling the whole office, as if it was being covered by a thin veil, slowly wrapping around their hearts.
The pen in Damon's hand stopped, and then he slowly raised his head, glancing at Chloe. She felt his movement and gaze, and looked down at him, lightly tugging at the corners of her mouth.
"Anything up?"
She asked softly, her eyebrows slightly raised, her face painted with a light blush, her lips tender and moist, her eyes gently trembling with a charm that even she didn't understand. Her gazes sparkled, revealing a hint of shyness and helplessness.
No one else could see this kind of beauty in this world. This beauty was his and his alone.
He slowly put down his pen, shifted his chair, then turned it around.
Chloe took two steps back, but Damon caught her arm. He wasn't using much force, but Chloe complied and moved to stand in front of him, looking down at him.
Damon looked up at her, a faint but attractive smile appeared on his face. He grasped her hand, his arm wrapped around her waist, gently pulling her to sit on his lap.
"Wasn't it you who had something to ask me?"
His voice was deep and slightly raspy, carrying a sexy allure.
"I don't have anything to ask you," Chloe's face was rosy, she sat obediently in Damon's arms, her hands resting on his shoulders, unmoving.
Damon arched an eyebrow, his eyes twinkling with amusement, his hand resting on her slender waist, lightly touching her.
Chloe's face flushed even more, she lightly bit her lower lip.
"How could that be? Weren't you propositioning me?" His voice caused her to blush even more.
Red-faced, Chloe squirmed a bit, but Damon simply raised his head and kissed her lips.
Chloe paused, her hands flinched, then she lowered her head and kissed him back. It started out passive, but then it was a long, bone-deep kiss.
Regarding the propositioning, Chloe didn't deny it. Who said only men can be infatuated in sex. But compared to his dominance, she was clearly at a disadvantage.
Soon, Chloe couldn't keep up with his pace. She was breathless and dizzy, leaning against him. At this moment, Chloe felt somewhat helpless and confused. She was famous as a perfumer, the president of Starlight International, and she saw how others admired her.
From not being used to it at first to now accepting it nonchalantly, accepting the strong and capable image of her in others' eyes, she once thought that she should be the one in control in anything.
