Chapter 584


    Chloe plonked the cake on the kitchen counter, her heart brimming with anticipation. She picked up


    the prepped cream and other decor stuff, and gingerly started dressing up the cake.


    The afternoon has left her plenty of time to do a zillion things. But soon enough, Chloe’s phone was


    buzzing.


    Spotting the iing call, her lips twitched. She should have blocked this number ages ago.


    Staring at the screen for a bit, Chloe sighed and picked it up. Although on a call, she still managed


    to keep her smile intact and her tone polite, “Hello, Mr. Watson.” ud’s deep, distinct voice came


    from the other side, “I’ve booked us a table for lunch. Let’s eat together this afternoon.”


    Chloe closed her eyes, feeling helpless at this man’s high–handedness.


    “I’m kinda swamped right now, Mr. Watson.” Chloe said.


    “I’ll pick you up.” ud said.


    Chloe took a deep breath, “Mr. Watson, if you’ve got something to say, just spit it out over the


    phone.”


    “If you agree to be my girlfriend, you don’t have to eat with me today.” ud said.


    “I’m gonna pass, Mr. Watson!” Chloe said.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    “Thene eat. I’ll pick you up.” ud said.


    “Where and when?” Chloe was speechless, why were the men around her always so troublesome?


    ud then sent her the restaurant address.


    She almost threw her phone when she saw it!


    Was he doing this on purpose?! He had booked a restaurant right across from the Harper Group!


    Was he trying to make her bump into Damon on purpose?


    The appointment was at two o’clock, which was fast approaching. Chloe sighed and packed up her


    beautifully decorated cake. After freshening up and changing her clothes, she stepped out.


    Entering the restaurant, Chloe cautiously scanned the room. When she spotted her table, she


    heaved a sigh of relief.


    Thankfully, it was tucked away in a secluded corner, with a big potted nt for cover.


    ud, dressed in a suit, was sitting there. His handsome looks and noble demeanor seemed to


    have female customers and waitresses ncing his way more than usual. But he didn’t seem to be


    enjoying the attention, his face was stony, giving off cold vibes.


    Chloe swallowed, took another look at the Harper Group building across the street, and walked


    towards him.


    But before she could sit down, ud gave her a cold nce, “You look like you’re sneaking around,


    it makes us look like we’re having a secret affair.”


    “A secret affair.” Chloe cracked an awkward smile, “You’re overthinking, I just don’t want some


    people to see us.”


    “Damon?” ud asked.


    Chloe shot him a look! If not for her manners, she would have red at him. He knew very well


    what he was doing.


    “What do you want?” Chloe asked.


    “Let’s eat first.” ud said.


    “Mr. Watson.” Chloe’s patience was wearing thin.


    ud, however, remained impassive, beckoning the waiter to order.


    Watching Chloe obviously holding in her temper while ordering, ud’s fine eyebrows twitched


    slightly, a hint of change in his indifferent eyes, “The Watson family’s new hotel in W City is about to


    start trial operation, I heard you’re quite the whizz in PR, so I’m handing you the task.”
