Chapter 371


    A glint of delight shed in Damon’s eyes as he leaned in to nt a soft kiss on her forehead.


    “Go rest on the bed for a bit.”


    Seeing Chloe nod in agreement, he turned and headed for the bathroom.


    By the time he emerged, Chloe was already lying on one side of the bed. Her delicate silhouette on


    the sheets was like another presence in his


    territory


    Before meeting her, he could never have imagined all that was happening now,


    That such a woman would appear in his life.


    He nced at the figure upying a small corner, his lips moved slightly.


    “Already asleep?”


    Chloe was facing away from him, her fingers tightly clutching the nket.


    “No…”


    Chloe’s gentle voice echoed in the bedroom. The other side of the bed suddenly dipped as the


    nket was lifted, a strong arm draped over her waist, with a gentle push, she was flipped into his


    arms.


    She let out a yelp, instantly enveloped by the distinct masculine scent, a mix of fresh shower gel,


    warm moisture, and her own scent


    “Why so tense Where’s the courage you had before, huh?”


    There was a hint ofint in his voice.


    She nced up at him, resting her hand on his waist, giving a light pat


    “Be patient a little longer.”


    I’ve been patient.”


    Chloe could hear his voice full of grievance, a twinge of guilt in her heart. She shifted her gaze, then


    said.


    *Rose called me today, you asked me to join the perfumepetition with Keira?”


    His hand slowly rxed on her waist, allowing her to rest on his arm.


    “Yes. Take this opportunity to settle the giarism issue once and for all.”


    Chloe looked up at him in surprise, “That’s your purpose?”


    “What? You don’t think you can win?”


    “It’s not that, but your decision seems to have upset Rose.”


    Damon raised an eyebrow, “She wants me to pull strings for her?”


    Chloe hesitated, then shook her head, “Rose doesn’t support nepotism, but since she has this


    resource, not fully utilizing it might make her feel


    regretful.”


    She paused, then looked at him, “Would you pull strings for her?”


    “Why should I? She’s not you.”


    Hearing this, Chloe couldn’t help but smile, a warm feeling surging in her heart.


    “Looks like I’ll need to prepare well, strive to get into yourpany. Then I can officially be your


    coworker, right?”


    “Mmm, I like the sound of that. Once thepetition is over,e straight to me, be my special


    assistant. Okay?”


    “Special assistant? Like Nate?”


    Damon’s gaze deepened, he leaned in to nip at her lips, “Do you think Nate and I would be like


    this?”


    Chloe blinked, a faint blush spreading on her face, but she couldn’t help butugh.


    “People are saying you two are a thing, they think there would be intimate gestures between you…”

    Hearing this, Damon’s face instantly darkened.


    Chloe stifled herughter, patting his waist in a soothing manner, “Don’t mind them. Besides, I might


    not be able to be your special assistant, I still have my ownpany to run.”


    Damon shot her a re. “You’re busier than I am.”


    “Once thepany is stable, I’ll rest, wholeheartedly taking care of the Reed family.”


    Damon cracked a slight smile, “That really gets to me.”


    Chloe also smiled, “Want to hear something more deeply rooted?”


    “Spill it.”
