Chapter 1022


    “Damon, seriously thinks he can step up to me?”


    Almost the next second, Chloe’s phone rang.


    “Huh? What’s up?”


    “I booked a table near yourpany. Didn’t you say you wanted barbecue? Come join me.”


    Chloe unconsciously looked at Stanley, “But Stanley, he…”


    “Don’t worry, he didn’t get a reservation.”


    Without thinking twice, Chloe knew what Damon had done., She suddenly felt a little sorry


    for Stanley.


    She took a deep breath, hoping the novelty of Stanley would wear off soon. Chloe looked at


    him. “Didn’t manage to book a table for lunch, huh?”


    “How’d you know?”


    He turned his head, saw her just hanging up the phone, and instantly realized something.


    Looking at his unanswered phone, Stanley clenched his teeth.


    “What a scheming guy! Chloe, stay away from him!”


    Chloe rarely had aeback for Stanley’s remarks. His thought process was just not


    normal!


    That was her man, how could she stay away?


    “Since there’s no booking, I’m going to eat with Damon!”


    Stanley didn’t say anything, and just silently watched Chloe. Silence was golden at this


    point! His pitiful expression made Chloe feel a bit bad.


    “Alright, you cane along when it’s time!”


    Stanley finally smiled, but Chloe paused and said, “Since you’ve decided toe, be


    prepared for everything! And…don’t make a scene.” Stanley frowned. “I’ll be careful.”


    By the time they arrived at the barbecue restaurant for lunch, Stanley was so angry he


    almost flipped the table.


    Damon, what a jer k! Where was his gun?!


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    Chloe was getting a headache from these two men’s open and secret fights. In the


    beginning, Stanley argued with Damon. Damon either kept quiet or his words made Stanley


    furious. At first, Chloe tried to keep the peace, but then her face gradually cooled down and


    she stopped talking.


    Realizing Chloe was in a bad mood, Damon and Stanley looked at each other and kept quiet.


    After the meal, Chloe stood up first. “I’m full. I’ll go back to thepany, and you guys take


    your time.”


    The two men were left in the empty barbecue restaurant, not knowing what to do. The


    waitstaff watching the scene couldn’t help but start discussing.


    “Sigh, in today’s society, it’s hard for us women!”


    “Good men are all hanging out with other good men! Where do we fit in?”


    “You see, initially, I envied thatdy for being so lucky, having two handsome guys to have


    lunch with. But in the end… it was those two handsome guys who had the most fun!”


    “I bet thatdy was really pi ssed off.”


    Two men together? Ho mosexuals?


    The whispers of the staff reached Damon and Stanley’s ears.


    They were both very clear about the term homosexuality.


    Damon was sensitive to the word due to previous rumors about him and Nate. Stanley had


    seen a lot of hom osexuals, even some of his subordinates were g ay.


    And now, him and Damon?


    They looked at each other and immediately felt a chill, quickly got up and left the restaurant


    with gloomy faces.


    Chloe returned to Starlight International and ordered the receptionist to refuse all visitors.


    The receptionist didn’t understand why butplied immediately.


    Stanley was stopped, and Damon, anticipating that they would be sh ut out, didn’t even


    show up.


    Stanley returned seemingly gloomy, looking like a defeated rooster. Seeing him like this, Ned


    quickly asked, “What happened, Mr. Stanley? Were you rejected?”


    Stanley gave a cold nce, then sighed heavily. “Might as well have been.”


    “What do you mean?”


    “Everything was going well at first, but at lunch, she seemed really upset, and she


    completely ignored me this afternoon. Is she rejecting me?”


    “Ughhh…” Ned felt awkward. “It shouldn’t be. Did you do something to upset her?”


    Thinking about it, Stanley gritted his teeth. “It’s all Damon’s fault. That bas tard was ying


    d irty tricks…”


    “So you three had lunch together?” Ned asked in surprise.


    “Yes, we took her to work in the morning and had lunch with her…”


    “Haha…”


    Nedughed awkwardly. Even though he hadn’t been in a rtionship, he felt awkward just


    thinking about the situation, let alone experiencing it firsthand!


    How did the three of them sit together?


    Fashion Week was just around the corner. Quite a few international brands were still


    extending an olive branch to Starlight International, but they were all rejected by Chloe.


    Now close to the end of the workday, the secretary kept urging Chloe, saying that various


    brands were waiting for a reply.


    Chloe was in a bad mood all afternoon, and now being constantly pressed by the secretary,


    her face was even colder. The secretary was a little scared, but she had no choice but to


    push on.


    Until the end of the working day, she urged again, only to be coldly rejected by Chloe.


    “That’s enough. You can go home.”


    The secretary was also worried. It was the International Fashion Week. Jete and several


    artists who were par ticipating still did not have clothes to wear, what should they do then?


    She felt helpless!


    Coming out of the office again, Jete and the other confirmed participants of the Fashion


    Week all looked at her anxiously. “What did Ms. Summers say?”


    The secretary shook her head. “Just wait a little longer.”


    The unchanged response made everyone feel desperate.


    “What on earth is Ms. Summers doing? We’re going to Paris next week, and we still haven’t


    sorted out our clothes! Are we supposed to go na ked?!”


    “Right, I’m starting to envy Beverly. I heard RM’s new collection is amazing! If we had our


    clothes sorted, we would have enough time to n our looks…”


    “Yeah, we got a bu nch of top international brands on our te, why’s Ms. Summers gotta


    make us sweat bullets?”


    Jete had been standing quietly on the side, and seeing that it was already knock off


    time, she couldn’t help but whisper, “Ms. Summers must have her reasons, she’s always got


    a good grip on things, and I believe it’s no different this time. Us getting antsy here. won’t do


    any good, we should… head home…”


    When it came to Chloe’s abilities, everyone wanted to chime in, but in the end, no words


    came out.


    “Let’s hope there’s a pleasant surprise waiting for us.”


    Who knew if they would get a taste of Ms. Summers’ tactics this time?


    Looking at Jete going from a nobody to a bigshot, how could they not be green with


    envy? They envied Jete for being. hand-picked by Ms. Summers, and they hoped they


    could get the same boost from her.


    But for now, they just hoped their future wouldn’t get screwed up by Chloe. This was a


    golden opportunity….
