Chapter 1008
“So, what do you think?” Damon stood in front of her, gazing down at Chloe with a gentle
smile.
Chloe returned his smile nonchntly, reaching out to adjust the boutonniere on hispel.
“You look incredibly handsome. Words can’t even begin to describe.”
Damon cocked a satisfied brow, “Do I match up to you?”
Chloe’s movements halted as she looked up at him, “Isn’t that supposed to be my
question?”
Damon grasped her soft hand, bringing it to his lips for a gentle kiss.
“You’re the only one for me, and it can only be you.”
Chloe’s heart rate quickened, and she looked up at him, her eyes shimmering faintly.
Everyone else present was admiring the beautiful scene, but none of them could
comprehend Damon’s words.
Yet Chloe understood perfectly. When they first met, in his room, on his bed, his slender
fingers gently stroking her cheek, he told her that only she was worthy of him in this world.
She thought he was arr ogant then, but he had just smiled.
Now, she was already with him. At a time when she had no intention of falling in love again,
she was irresistibly drawn to his dominant presence in the shortest span of time.
Only she was worthy of him. Only she could be his.
He couldn’t have made it clearer.
Others might not understand, but how could she possibly not? He was as domineering as
always.
Knowing that she understood him, Damon smiled and naturally leaned down for a kiss as
she lifted her head.
Damon could kiss her anytime and anywhere, never shying away, and Chloe would always
blush furiously in response. She buried her face in his chest to avoid the gazes of others,
hiding her shyness! But Damon really enjoyed seeing her blush.
Everyone present was surprised. They never thought that two people who were seen as
noble and cold, calm and dominant, could be so different when together.
Their behaviour waspletely natural, his tender pampering of her and her gentle
submission to him… not pre tentious at all.
This was the unique understanding between them. It wouldn’t work with anyone else.
“Do you want to try some others?” Damon asked.
Chloe shook her head, “This one is fine.”
“Okay.”
Damon never interfered with Chloe’s decisions.
They changed out of their clothes, with Katie discussing with the shop assistant on where to
make alterations, like making the waist thinner, adding more fringe designs, or shortening
the hemline.

Chloe didn’t spend much time trying on clothes. Katie only came over to take a look when
she was changing at the end, but she managed to pick out so many details.
Miles stood silently next to Katie, his gaze falling on the dress.
Chloe and Damon walked side by side towards the shop’s exit, and Miles and Katie trailed
behind them, whispering.
The shop assistants were stunned by their elegance and deeply moved by their love. After
they left, they were all still in a daze.
Because Damon was there, she naturally shared a car with him whenever possible. And she
handed the keys to Miles. As he took the keys, Chloe looked at him and suddenly asked, “Is
the International Beauty Expo an important makeuppetition?”
Miles was taken aback for a moment before answering, “Yes, it’s considered one of the
authoritative awards in the makeup industry. With this award, one can gain high recognition
in the industry.”
“Have you ever thought about part icipating in thispetition?” Chloe asked.
Miles gave a wry smile, “How could I not?”
He didn’t continue, but Chloe startedughing, “So it seems Jacob is not all that.”
“What?” Miles asked.
“He doesn’t even dare to let you participate in apetition, do you think he’s so great?”
Chloe retorted.
Surprise shed across Miles’ face, he was at a loss for words.
Chloe nced at him, “Don’t you have anything to say?”
Miles opened his mo uth, a hint of hesitation shed across his face. Chloe looked at him
again, then turned around to open the car door.
“Ms. Summers!” Miles suddenly panicked, rushing forward to grab Chloe’s hand, “I… I want
to participate in this year’spetition, I hope to do so as Starlight International’s stylist…”
Suddenly, Miles felt a sharp pain in his hand and reflexively pulled back. He looked up to find
Damon standing next to Chloe, staring at him coldly.
The hand he just grabbed was now tightly held in the man’s palm. A hint of embarrassment
shed across Miles’ face, he rubbed his fingers and dropped his hand to his side.
“I’m sorry…” he apologized.

Damon’s gaze was as sharp as ice, piercing Miles’ face and causing him to shiver.
“I… I was just… in a rush…” he tried to exin.
He paused, then looked at Chloe again, “Ms. Summers…”
“If you want to participate, then do so. My Starlight International doesn’t need a weak and
ipetent stylist.” Chloe said indifferently.
Miles’ jaw tightened slightly, and although Chloe’s words were notforting, they
strengthened his determination.
“I won’t let you down,” he stated firmly.
Chloe gave a faint smile, “I think so too.”
With that, she bent down to get into the car.
Miles stood still, the feeling of his ego being hurt by Chloe’s words just now vanished
instantly. To have Ms. Summers’ trust like this, he wouldn’t let her down. He watched as
Damon’s car dro ve away, and only when he couldn’t see it anymore did he take a deep
breath and let it out heavily. Looking up at the fashion-filled district, filled with billboards of
international stars endorsing high-end fashion brands, morous and grand, he had always
dreamed of standing at the peak of fashion, and he believed that he could achieve this dream
in his lifetime!
His conversation with Beverly and every word and expression from Luisa were deeply
etched in his memory. He hade to terms with breaking off his engagement with Beverly,
even though it had been years.
But being treated like this by Luisa and Beverly, there was no way he wasn’t feeling
anything. Aside from the initial sadness, what remained was a heap of anger and
indignation, sparked by humiliation.
He still remembered the stir that Jacob’s appearance had caused. He admitted that he was
just an average Joe, with all the emotions any person would have.
Beverly said he was no match for Jacob.
He couldn’t deny it now, but-
Life was a rollercoaster. Today you were on top, and tomorrow it might be my turn!
Being poor in youth didn’t mean one was gonna be a nobody in the future!
