Chapter 1079
What could they possibly say? Any word could hurt Damon’s pride.
Damon’s face turned cold. He glanced at Fritz, then sullenly put the burnt piece of meat onto his own plate.
Then he said, “I like it charred.”
Chloe couldn’t help but laugh. Was this Damon’s pride?
She took the tongs from Damon’s hand and picked a piece of meat from the plate to grill.
Damon watched her with a serious expression, “I’ll do the grilling.”
Chloe knew his ego was at play, and she chuckled, “But I want to grill for you.”
Hearing this, Damon raised an eyebrow, “Alright, I’ll give you this chance.”
Chloe was amused by Damon’s reaction. She started grilling the meat with a smile. She would put the cooked meat on his plate, and occasionally on her own. All in all, she gave more meat to Damon and less to herself.
Fritz, sitting opposite, was quietly eating his own freshly grilled meat, which tasted awful to him now. He wished he could disappear right now. He really didn’t want to disturb the couple anymore.
He felt his presence didn’t affect the two across the table at all, but he was nearly blinded by their affectionate behavior.
Damon was enjoying Chloe’s service, and he was eating happily. During the gaps in grilling, Chloe would pass a lettuce leaf to Damon, with grilled meat wrapped inside. She would occasionally instruct Damon on how to better enjoy the barbecue.
Sometimes Chloe would think about giving Fritz a couple of pieces of meat, but she would stop under Damon’s sharp gaze.
In the end, Fritz was completely defeated by their affection. He even felt a bit dizzy.
Looking at the affectionate couple across from him, he still couldn’t believe it.
How did they get together? Why did they get together? If they weren’t together, who would they be with?
Was it fate for them to be together?
But the president of the Harper Group…
He was the nouveau riche in the gossip….
He was a gangster…
He was his boss…
He was Chloe’s fiancé…
Chloe was his boss….
Fritz felt an indescribable emotion in his heart. After dinner, he saw Damon and Chloe off, with a baffled look on his face.
The world was really big, anything was possible.
It was beyond his expectation. But the president of the Harper Group and Chloe were really a good match.
In the car, Chloe patted Damon’s shoulder with a smile, “You did well tonight.”
“Hmph,” Damon snorted, “I really want to see how many unreliable men will appear around you now.”
“Huh?”
Damon gave her a glance, “You’re quite careless.”
Damon pursed his lips, noted it down for future reference, and would catch them all in one swoop when the time was right!
They went straight to Emerald Valley Estates that night. Surprisingly, they bumped into Nathan at the entrance of the apartment.
He was standing alone next to the artificial hill outside the apartment, barely holding on to the cigarette in his hand.
“Aren’t you freezing standing out here so late?”
Chloe smiled slightly. She had never heard Damon say a good word about Nathan. Nathan saw them and didn’t joke like he usually did. He threw the half–smoked cigarette on the ground, his voice a bit low.
“Why haven’t you guys gone home?”
“It was not a convenient option.”
Damon’s gaze fell on the cigarette butt at Nathan’s feet, his eyes darkened slightly, but he didn’t say anything. He pulled Chloe and walked towards the apartment.
Chloe’s gaze just moved away from Nathan’s feet, and she let Damon pull her into the apartment.
Nathan didn’t watch them, he just took out another cigarette, and unlocked his mobile phone. The screen showed all the cinemas near Yulia’s company. Then he checked the call records, the first number was Yulia’s. Finally, the phone screen went dark, and he held the phone tightly.
Not going home tonight? Having dinner with Ronald, watching a movie, then what?
Then she was going to a hotel with Ronald, the two were boyfriend and girlfriend before, they had feelings for each other, and once they had a chance to rekindle the old feelings…
Damn…
Chloe returned to the apartment. The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. Finally, while Damon was taking a shower, she
called Nathan.
Nathan saw the incoming call, feeling annoyed. He wanted to ignore it, but after all, it was Chloe.
“Hello?”
“What’s going on with you and Yulia?”
“What do you mean? What can I do with her?” His tone was unusually irritable.
Chloe took a deep breath, Yulia is very nice, I don’t know what’s going on between you that you don’t want others to know about, and I don’t have the right to ask too much. But… today I saw her hotel reservation at The Watson Hotel, and the time is tonight. She has a home, why would she suddenly stay at a hotel?”
Nathan’s eyelids opened violently, “You said she booked a room at The Watson Hotel tonight?”
