"Drink it, take a shower and go to bed."
Damon sidled up to her. His tipsy expression was a mix of laziness and devil-may-care charm. His gaze was as deep as an abyss, a magnetic pull that was impossible to resist.
"Feed me."
His deep and slightly raspy voice made Chloe's cheeks flush. She brought the bowl to Damon's lips. He stared at her and smirked, taking a sip.
"A bit bitter."
This guy...
"Suck it up."
"Suck it up?" Damon scowled, "I don't want to."
Chloe remained silent, noticing his slightly drunken state.
Not long after, Damon spoke again, "Alright, I will stomach it. Go get yourself some warm milk."
"Want some milk too?"
Damon took the bowl from her, drank a couple of sips, and then his hand slid under her clothes. His touch, warm from holding the bowl, gently glided from her waist to her side.
"Hey, Damon..." Chloe tried to stop him, but Damon's hand was already resting on her stomach.
"Go get some warm milk. It'll help with your stomach, okay?"
Chloe was astonished, the engagement was already being prepared? "When? Why don't I even know the date?"
"Hmm... didn't want to give you a chance to back out."
Chloe shook her head, "I won't regret it, never in my life."
Damon chuckled softly, his voice resonating in her ear.
Meanwhile on the Internet, Philip's arrogant behavior was still a hot topic. Even though he had apologized, what was done was done. The facts were laid bare, and people's anger and disdain were far from subsiding.
Endorsement deals were cancelled left and right, and his scripts and reality show gigs were pulled. His Twitter followers dropped drastically. Philip seemed to be stuck in a rut, and the more he struggled, the worse it got. So he completely disappeared from all social media platforms, hoping time would let this blow over.
Keira was actually innocent this time. She had inadvertently become a target. She had been quietly waiting at home for the awards ceremony, but because of Philip, she, as a former coworker, was dragged into the mess and unjustly accused. Adding to her previous controversies, people started digging up her past issues, and compiled them into a public post.
