The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 861

Every decision for any company, every public performance, even at a big event like the International Perfume Competition, she never showed a hint of panic. But when she heard the news at noon today that she was going to see her mother-in-law, she seemed so nervous.

A gentle smile appeared on Damon’s calm face. "You don't need to overthink it."

Chloe was still anxious, "Just spill it. I need to prepare and try to make a good impression on her the first time we meet."

Damon looked at her anxious expression, his eyes full of concern.

"Do you know what efficiency is?"

After waiting for a long time, Chloe only got this seemingly irrelevant reply from Damon. But he didn't seem like the kind of person who would answer off-topic.

Chloe thought for a moment, then answered seriously, "I know. Efficiency refers to the amount of work done in a unit of time. High efficiency means doing more work in the same amount of time, which means saving time for individuals."

Damon chuckled, "So don't overthink it. First, it's a waste of time, and second... even if you prepare a lot, you might not get a chance to show it."

Chloe opened her mouth, completely clueless about what he was saying! After all that, all she knew was what efficiency was, not to overthink, and no chance to show.

Chloe began to wonder if she had become stupid.

"Alright, take a break. Weren't you tired from being outside?" Damon gently touched her head and kissed her forehead.

Chloe closed her eyes and quietly accepted his gentleness. But at this moment, Damon's phone that was on the bedside table rang. He picked up the phone and took a look. Chloe leaned on his chest and clearly saw the caller was Wendy.

He answered the phone indifferently, "Yeah."

"Damon." Wendy's elegant voice came from the other end of the phone, "My friends are throwing me a welcome party tonight, will you come?"

Damon didn't answer right away, and Wendy continued, "Bring the missus, it's a good opportunity for everyone to get together and for her to get a taste."

Only the two of them were in the bedroom; it was so quiet that you could clearly hear the voice from the other end of the phone.

Damon still didn’t answer right away, but turned his head to look at Chloe, obviously asking her opinion.

Chloe naturally nodded her head.

Then Damon responded to Wendy, “Got it.”

Wendy chuckled, “Great, I’ll send you the address later. Oh, and tell your wife not to worry, it’s just a casual get-together among friends.”

“Yeah.”

Felix's lips were tightly pressed together, his face heavy.

"Felix, do you think... that woman... is she really worthy of Damon?"

Wendy suddenly looked up, her eyes full of tears, her eyes red, making Felix's heart ache instantly.

"...No."

Wendy suddenly laughed sadly, "Yeah. She's just a perfume designer with no family background. Her family is irrelevant, and look at the scandal they made... what the hell is Damon thinking? Why are there so many stories of princes and commoners in this world? Aren't those supposed to be only in fairy tales? Princes and commoners, don't you find it ridiculous, Felix?"

"Wendy…"

Felix looked at Wendy’s tears in her eyes, feeling a pang of pain in his heart. In his eyes, Wendy was as unreachable as Damon was in everyone else's eyes. His fingers twitched slightly on the table, after some hesitation, he then plucked up the courage to try to wipe the tears from Wendy's eyes.

But Wendy suddenly sat up straight, took a deep breath, wiped the corner of her eye herself, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I lost my composure just now."

Felix's hand stiffened, and he ended up picking up his coffee and taking a sip.

After a while, the doorbell of the coffee shop rang. Wendy smiled faintly, turned her head, and waved to the glamorous woman at the door.
