Chapter 228


    She’d been running her own business for years and met all sorts of people, so she’s used to


    reading faces.


    She only encountered this big shot from afar at his inauguration ceremony.


    They never exchanged a single word!


    She didn’t mess with this guy, right?


    So, Damon was Chloe’s boyfriend?


    Rose nced at Chloe, who was smiling stiffly.


    Chloe, of course, noticed the weird vibe immediately.


    And she knew the reason for it.


    Rose squinted her eyes at her as if to ask, “What’s the deal?”


    Chloe looked back at her, blinking, eyes full of unspeakable helplessness.


    Damon saw the whole eyebrow–wiggling exchange between Rose and Chloe, and his eyes


    narrowed slightly.


    He looked at Chloe displeased.


    Chloe looked up at him and understood what his look meant.


    Without saying anything, Damon walked straight over, sat down close to her, and put one arm


    around her shoulder…


    Chloe closed her eyes slightly, and tried not to smile.


    It was just a meal, was this really necessary?


    Rose’s hand, holding the water ss, trembled slightly.


    Was this man showing off or trying to prove something?


    “Hi, I’m Damon, Chloe’s boyfriend.”


    Rose’s temples throbbed, “Boyfriend,” could you emphasize it more!


    But she still smiled at Damon, “Hi, I’m Rose, Chloe’s best friend!”


    There was a two–second silence in the private room as Damon and Rose stared at each other for a


    moment before looking away.


    “Thank you for taking care of Chloe all these years. If you need help in the future, please don’t


    hesitate to ask.”


    Rose raised an eyebrow and gave Chloe a meaningful nce before nodding lightly, “Thank you in


    advance, Mr. Harper.”


    Chloe, felt the awkward atmosphere, quickly grabbed the menu from the center of the table, saying,


    “We’re all hungry. Let’s order. What do you want to eat?” Damon turned to her with a smile and


    kissed her cheek.


    “I’ll like whatever you order.”


    Rose couldn’t stand when people showed off their love life in front of you.


    Especially when she was single and, worse, had unrequited love!


    Rose shot Chloe a fierce nce and forcibly grabbed another menu beside her.


    Well, she would eat the most luxurious and expensive dishes just to get back for that.


    She flipped straight to the signature dishes page and ordered each one.

    Chloe looked at her in surprise, realizing Rose was a bit emotional tonight.


    So she didn’t say much, turned to Damon, saw his expressionless face, and looked back at the


    menu.


    “You like seafood, right? The Arctic shrimp here is pretty good. Want to try it?”


    Damon’s deep eyes lit up, and his low voice sounded extra gentle as he nodded, “Sure.”


    He then looked up at Rose, and exuded an elegant and noble demeanor


    “Rose, feel free to order whatever you like, don’t be shy.”


    Rose’s face remained calm, maintaining the most appropriate smile, but her heart sneered. What’s


    the reason for this show–off attitude?
