Lance held Keira tighter and subconsciously stepped forward when he saw Chloe losing her balance. He wanted to catch Chloe.
Lance's movement made Keira move forward too, and her heels lost balance again.
Chloe was falling toward Kane, and he instinctively reached out to catch her.
Suddenly, a strong arm reached out from the left and precisely caught her waist. In the next moment, she was pulled into a familiar, cool-scented embrace.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
Chloe sighed in relief as their faces came closer together. As she tilted her head up, their eyes met.
She could clearly see the slight surprise in Damon's eyes.
A wave of gratitude washed over Chloe. She was basking in the sweet feeling of being cared for by a man, not noticing her hand on his shoulder and her chest pressed against his.
The atmosphere was getting quite intimate.
"Thank you."
She muttered. As she realized her situation, her face turned as red as a tomato.
Damon leaned closer, his forehead touching Chloe's hair as he said softly, "You almost ended up in someone else's arms."
"That was an accident."
"Well, I won't allow it."
"I'll try."
Their voices were low, so the conversation meant only for them.
Chloe looked at Keira's pained expression and scoffed.
"You reap what you sow. I don't know if you're just wicked or a masochist."
Lance frowned, "Chloe, Keira really twisted her ankle."
Chloe raised an eyebrow and smirked at Lance, her voice as calm as her expression.
"If she didn't have such a strong desire for revenge, she wouldn't have twisted her ankle. She didn't get hurt when we were filming a running scene in high heels on mud, but suddenly she's hurt on this flat red carpet?"
Chloe emphasized the word "suddenly", making Lance's face change slightly.
Damon's cold gaze fell on Keira, who couldn't help but shiver.
