Before she even realized what was happening, she heard a crisp sound. A hand slammed down on Claud's hand.
A sense of unease immediately rose in Chloe's heart. She turned around and sure enough, there stood Damon, a chilly aura radiating from his body, his handsome face filled with hostility and gloom.
Claud instantly let go of Chloe's hand. He grabbed a wet wipe from the side and thoroughly cleaned his hand, whether it was disgust for Chloe's hand or Damon's touch wasn't clear.
Embarrassed, Chloe glanced over at Nate next door. Feeling her gaze, he quickly turned his head away.
Chloe's brain was in a mess, thinking— Oh crap!
"There's a bit of misunderstanding." Chloe wanted to explain.
But Damon was gripping her shoulder tightly, staring at her seriously.
Chloe was taken aback for a moment, then understood his meaning, quickly grabbing her bag and standing up, "Have you had lunch yet? I can join you."
Chloe smiled at him, a bit ingratiating.
Claud sat beside them, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. What was this woman's game?
Damon's face still looked unhappy, "It's already so late and you still want to have lunch?"
"But I haven't eaten today, I'm really hungry." Chloe said.
Her tone sounded normal, but Damon heard the pitiful pleading in it. His expression softened a bit, "Are you really that hungry?"
Chloe nodded, looking up at him because of their height difference, an image that would tug at anyone's heartstrings.
Damon relented, glanced at the food already in front of Chloe, hesitated for two seconds, then pushed the food towards her. Then he sat down beside Chloe.
"Have something to eat first." His voice was very gentle.
Claud sat opposite them, watching Damon's antics— This guy could change so quickly.
Damon sat next to her, unwavering, watching Chloe eat with a doting expression, as if there were no one else around.
Claud's patience was wearing thin, just about to leave, when Chloe raised her head. She peeled a shrimp from the plate and handed it to Damon.
Damon glanced at it, said casually, "You eat it."
"Don't you like it? You eat." Chloe said.
Damon gave a slight smile, lowered his head and opened his mouth. Chloe then put the shrimp in his mouth.
"How's the taste?" Chloe asked.
"Great." Damon replied.
Nate and Claud were speechless. What was going on with these two?!
