Chapter 152


    The apartment was on the 16th floor.


    After punching in the passcode and entering. Chloe found a spacious duplex. What really stole the


    show was a massive floor–to–ceiling window facing east. Standing up here on the 16th floor, she


    could get a bird’s–eye view of the whole P City


    What really caught Chloeh eye though, was the ck no tucked into the corner of the window, its


    white gauze cover fluttering gently in the breeze.


    Chloe couldn’t resist and walked over, her fingers trembling as they brushed against the piano


    Her slender fingers formed a stark contrast against the ck piano, the slick, cool touch of it


    reigniting a spark in her heart.


    Opening up the lid, the ck and white keysy neatly arranged. Her fingers quivered slightly as


    they struck a beautiful note.


    The note hung in the air, echoing the ripple of emotions in Chloe’s heart.


    She bit her lip, bent down, sat, and ced her hands on the keys, ying from memory the piece


    she’d heard in Damon’s car – “Whispers of Autumn“.


    When the notes melded into a melody, Chloe’s eyes welled up.


    This feeling, it’s been a long time since shest felt it


    To her, music was the purest thing


    But her past self didn’t protect it well enough.


    Looking at the fading night outside the window, the city neon lights started to flicker. Even though


    the city was still bustling, the soothing piano piece somehow managed to calm the


    heart


    She finished the piece without missing a beat or a note.


    Even without sheet music, she could remember it thanks to the many years of memory training she


    had in F Country.

    Just one piece of music was no trouble for her.


    Chloe let out a gentle sigh, stroked the piano onest time, and then got up and went upstairs.


    Half an hourter, she came back down.


    Chloe walked into the kitchen, where a variety of fruits and vegetables were neatly prepared in the


    fridge.


    She found an apron and got busy in the kitchen.


    Another half an hourter, Chloe emerged from the kitchen, thermos in hand.


    The office was elegantly decorated, brightly lit but eerily silent.


    Damon was sitting in the office chair, flipping through some documents.


    He was wearing an exquisite handmade suit, perfectly showcasing his tall and lean figure. His


    features were perfect, his eyes cold and expressionless.


    In the short week since he took over as CEO, everyone in thepany had gotten a taste of his


    methods and temper,


    When he wasn’t angry, he was actually the nicest, calmest person.


    But cross him, and he’d turn into a devil in a heartbeat. Just one look from him was enough to send


    chills down your spine.


    Everyone knew not to disturb Damon when he was working.


    So when the office doorbell rang, Damon’s document–flipping hand paused and his smooth brows


    furrowed.


    Chloe didn’t wait for a response. She just walked right in.


    His gaze was just as icy and piercing as it was when she entered his room at the manor to deliver


    his medicine.


    Although she’d seen it before, Chloe was still taken aback by his stare.


    The look in Damon’s deep ck eyes was fleeting.


    After a moment of surprise, a gentle smile appeared on his face.


    “Did I interrupt you?” Chloe asked, watching as he set his documents on the table.


    Damon didn’t deny it, his voice deep as he said, “Yes.”
