The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1067

Darthy frowned, speaking bluntly. “Well, you did give her an opening! We’ve been told from the start of training not

to wear such heavy makeup. You’re not even following the basic rules, and you expect her not to criticize you?”

“You.”

“Enough, enough Rhoda Dorthy has a point. You were in the wrong We’re colleagues, and we should watch out for

each other. But you can’t be too arrogant. The minute Ms. Summers came in, she saw that your seat was empty

Fortunately, Dorthy covered for you, saying you were in the restroom. Otherwise, if she knew you were visiting

Rupin in his hotel room during work hours…

Rhoda’s bravado waned a bit, but the mention of Rupin brought a hint of arrogance back to her face.

“Let her fine me, I don’t care about twenty bucks! Rupin wouldn’t buy me shoes for less than two grand. I’ll

consider that twenty bucks a donation!”

She paused before continuing. “But don’t push me too far So what if she’s the CEO of Starlight International?

Compared to the Harper Group, what is she? Pin”

With that, she shot a hard glance at the door, then turned to go back to the dressing room to redo her makeup.

That night, as Chloe and Dorthy were leaving through the back door, they saw Rhoda standing on the front steps.

As they came out, Rhoda nonchalantly glanced at them, then grinned, “Did you guys drive? How about my

boyfriend give you a lift?”

Chloe raised an eyebrow. Was she trying to show off that she had a boyfriend?

“No thanks. We don’t need a front–row seat to your PDA.”

At that moment, a black Mercedes pulled up in front of them Rhoda said goodbye and hopped into the passenger

seat.

The man in the car glanced at Chloe through the passenger window. Chloe had just turned to walk the other way,

so he only caught a glimpse of her profile. He’d seen plenty of tall, slender women, but there was something about

this one, quite captivating.

He looked at Rhoda, who had already fastened her seatbelt and asked, “I haven’t seen that woman before. Is she

new at the front desk?”

Rhoda frowned, looking a bit annoyed, “…She’s new, but she’s not at the front desk, she’s a manager. She’s been

picking on me since she came in this afternoon, fined me twenty bucks over some excuse to show off her

authority!”

Rupin scoffed, “Oh? Twenty bucks is showing off authority? How about I show you ten times that power tonight?”

Rhoda quickly caught his double entendre and feigned anger, “Rupin, you’re so wicked!”

“Don’t you like it?”

“I didn’t say that!”

With laughter, their car drove away.

After saying goodbye to Dorthy, Chloe received a message from Elizabeth telling her to come home early. Thinking

about dealing with her gossipy family at home, she shook her head in resignation.

She drove her car to the Starlight International underground parking lot, where Damon’s car was already waiting

for her.

She got into Damon’s car. He pulled her close, his hand on her waist giving a gentle squeeze.

“Tired from today?

Chloe quickly glanced at Nate in the front. The partition between the front and back seats was slowly rising. This

had become almost a routine every time the two of them were in a car together.

Chloe turned her head, catching his hand, and whispered, “What do you think? I suspect your mum put maca in our

dinner last night.”

Damon leaned in to give her a kiss on the lips, “Last night’s dinner was made by you. Did you put something in it?”

Chloe blushed, “I didn’t!”

Was she crazy? Why would she sabotage herself?

Damon chuckled, “Why are you so flustered? As if you really did put something.”

“I only found out about it after dinner! And even though I was in the kitchen the whole time, I was only helping your

mom. Maybe there really was…”

Damon’s face changed. The thought of this possibility made him feel sick.

Probably not” He reassured himself, and Chloe.

“So you really last night…

Damon looked at her, his handsome face calm, “Really what?”

Chloe blushed, “Don’t you know?”

“You said you always trust my abilities, so I wanted to reward your trust, but I think last night’s reward was not

enough. How about tonight…”

Chloe buried her face in Damon’s chest and purposely headbutted him. “Absolutely not! You have no idea what I

walked into this morning!”

“Hmm? What happened?”

Your mum eavesdropped on us last night! This morning, she and your grandma were calculating your stamina,

saying it was over five hours….*.

“Heh…”

His solid chest gently rose and fell with his laughter. His unique scent filled her nostrils, giving her a sense of

security. She nuzzled into his chest, not

raising her head again.

Damon’s hand rested on her shoulder, gently massaging it. Chloe enjoyed his ministrations.

“Did you go to The Watson Hotel today?”

“Mm–hm. Just to check it out. Nothing major.”

After a moment of silence, Damon asked again, “…Did you meet anyone special?”

“No.”

Damon raised an eyebrow. That guy had quite the patience. He was searching all over the city for her. Now that she

was right in front of him, he chose not to reveal himself?

On the ride, Chloe dozed off in Damon’s arms.

When the car stopped, she felt refreshed. As they entered the villa, a small figure rushed towards her.

“Chloel”

Chloe found herself in a leg lock courtesy of Anya. She took a step back, with Damon catching her from behind.

Anya turned her head to see Damon, then stretched out a toddler–sized arm to grip one of Damon’s legs. She

tipped her little head back, looking at him with her grape–sized eyes full of innocence. In the sweetest voice, she

called out, “Damon.”

For a moment, Chloe sensed a chill in Damon’s gaze. But it was fleeting, he quickly got a grip on his emotions.
