Chapter 588


    ud stood up from his seat and said, “I’m outta here!” With that said, he coldly made his way out.


    That guy had gone mad,ing here to stir up trouble!


    After lunch, Chloe put down her utensils and took a few sips from the ss of water next to her. “I’m


    full,” she said. But Damon, furrowing his brows, seized her hands and noticed the burns on her


    knuckles and the back of her hand. “What happened to your hand?” Chloe’s fingers trembled


    slightly, “Nothing, just a minor burn.” “How did you burn it?” Damon asked. Chloe remained silent.


    Damon nced at Nate, who quickly handed him the ointment they just bought. Chloe was


    surprised. Did he know from the start?


    After applying the ointment, Damon asked her, “Do you want to go to my office?” Chloe shook her


    head, “Nah, I got stuff to do this afternoon.”


    “But your hand.” Damon said.


    “It’s fine.” Chloe said.

    Seeing Damon’s displeased expression, Chloe added, “Come home early tonight, I’ll celebrate your


    birthday.”


    Damon paused for a moment, then pulled Chloe towards the door.


    “What?” Chloe asked.


    “No more work, let’s go straight home for the birthday.” Damon said.


    Nateughed quietly. After all these years, it was the first time he saw Damon so eager to celebrate


    his birthday.


    “Wait, wait! It’s not ready yet! Don’t go home first!” Chloe said.


    After finally getting rid of Damon, Chloe breathed a sigh of relief, then immediately got in the car to


    go home. On the way, she looked at her hand covered in ointment and couldn’t help butugh. This


    little burn didn’t hurt at all now; it was no big deal. The car drove on, her phone pinged with a new


    message, but she ignored it.


    Although Damon spent the afternoon at thepany, Nate felt that he might as well have gone


    straight home! The normally workaholic Damon, who never checked the time, spent the whole


    afternoon watching the clock. Watching the time tick by, looking forward to clocking out. When the


    time hit six sharp, Damon stood up from his chair. “Time to go.” He said.


    Nate breathed a sigh of relief, they had finally made it through the day.


    Chloe was also waiting. Starting from six o’clock, she stood by the floor–to–ceiling window in the


    living room; constantly looking down at the street. Watching as Damon’s car finally came into view.


    As the seconds ticked by, Chloe’s anxiety increased. This was the first time she had done so much,


    she hoped she wouldn’t disappoint Damon.


    With her arms crossed over her chest, she watched as the sun gradually set. The remaining


    sunlight only illuminated one side of the skyscrapers, the shadows changed direction with the


    movement of the sun, and the long shadows finally disappeared. Night was about to fall.


    Downstairs, a ck Bentley slowly approached. Chloe’s gaze followed the car until parked under


    the apartment building, then she watched a tall figure get out of the car. Her eyes flickered as she


    watched the man enter the apartment. Taking a deep breath, she also turned and walked towards


    the door.


    Just as Damon entered the elevator lobby, familiar voices echoed from behind him.


    “Hey, bro, wait up!”


    “Damon.”


    Damon frowned slightly, walked briskly into the elevator, and decisively pressed the elevator’s close


    button without any hesitation. He had no intention of waiting for those two troublemakers.
