Chapter 1020
“I’m here to pick you up for work. The security guards in this community are really tough nuts to crack. I had no
choice but to call a cab
in.”
He raised his hand and lightly patted the top of the taxi. “Today, I’m driving a Pagani. Just pretend this taxi is a
Pagani, okay?”
A smirk crept onto Damon’s face as he glanced at the Volkswagen in front of him.
Treating a Volkswagen like a Pagani… Calling him a fo ol would be a compliment!
It wasn’t long before Stanley strode forward, handing Chloe the bouquet in his hands.
“Here, this is for you!”
The temperature around them seemed to drop suddenly, carrying a hint of warning. Chloe chuckled and shook her
head. “I don’t want flowers…”
As she spoke, she subconsciously glanced at the bouquet, her voice gradually trailing off.
Seeing her reaction, Stanley’s eyebrows shot up. “What do you think? Like it, huh?”
Chloe pursed her lips, slowly reaching out to accept the bouquet. “Um… thank you.”
Damon’s face turned icy cold. Chloe turned her head and gave him an awkward smile. “I don’t usually accept
flowers, but this should be okay, right?”
Damon frowned at the bouquet Chloe was holding. His handsome face twitched unwillingly. He looked up at Stanley,
who was grinning like a fo ol.
He thought bringing flowers that might be rejected, so he choosed something that Chloe might not refuse.
Alright, he needed to reevaluate this man’s emotional quotient. Who would’ve thought to wrap penny candy in a
bouquet? What a manipulative…
Frowning, he pulled out his phone and texted Nate-
[What’s the word for a woman who’s manipulative?]
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNate, who was enjoying a leisurely breakfast because he didn’t have to pick up Damon and Chloe, spat out his milk
when he saw the
text.
Who was Damon talking about?
Could it be Ms. Chloe? No way, right?
Was it Wendy? Or was it Keira who was still in the hospital? It certainly couldn’t be Ms. Chloe… right?
He replied nervously-
[A scheming bitch?]
[Hmm.]
Nate wiped his mo uth and looked-up at the sky, perplexed.
What would the weather be like today?
Damon wasn’t the Damon he used to be…
Damon looked at his phone, then at Stanley, a smug smile on his face. Scheming bitch!
Chloe checked the time, then walked to his car, parked nearby. The cars were parked side by side, both Damon and
Stanley watched Chloe anxiously. It seemed as if they would skin her alive if she made the wrong choice.
Chloe rubbed her forehead, looking up at Stanley. “Do you have any plans today?”
“I was planning to go to your company.”
Chloe closed her mo uth and headed towards the taxi.
Stanley beamed, tossing his hair triumphantly at Damon. You fo ol!
Damon gripped the steering wheel tightly, his knuckles turning wh ite at Chloe and Stanley’s actions. Just as he was
about to honk. angrily, he noticed Chloe hadn’t gotten into the taxi. She leaned into the passenger seat, then
stepped out.
She then pulled Stanley’s sleeve and walked towards Damon’s car. They both climbed into the back seat of
Damon’s Bentley.
“He’s going my way anyway; you might as well join.”
Stanley looked reluctant. “Why should I ride in his car? His driving isn’t that great!”
“Are you in or out? If you’re out, I’m going alone.”
“Alright, alright. Having a free chauffeur isn’t so bad.”
Damon’s face took on an icy expression, but he couldn’t afford to upset Chloe.
Stanley got into the car and quipped at Damon,
“Drive slowly. How’s your driving? Do you know how to read traffic lights? You’re not colorblind, are you?”
Damon’s voice was frosty as he started the car. It was more than just indifference.
“If you say one more useless thing. I’ll throw you out of the car.”
Stanley chuckled, then turned to Chloe. “See, I told you his driving isn’t great. He could even throw someone off in
the car.”
Chloe glanced at Damon’s grim face in the rearview mirror, then pinched Stanley’s arm hard, “Can you just sh ut
up?”
Stanley glanced at his arm in Chloe’s grip, then rolled his eyes.
“Where are you staying now?” Chloe tried to change the subject.
“It’s a bit far from where you live. I think your neighborhood is nice. I’ll have Ned buy a place there later.”
Chloe sighed inwardly.
He really was a piece of work.
Just as the car came to a stop at a red light, Damon took out his phone and texted Nate.
[Buy all the vacant houses in Emerald Valley Estates immediately!]
Nate, who was washing dishes, wiped his hands and checked the message. He couldn’t help but twitch his lips.
What had gotten into his boss today? So many
orders?
[Alright, Mr. Harper!]
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDamon smirked as he received the reply.
The light turned green, and the car started moving.
“I’ll have lunch with you today, then I’ll go back. What do you want to eat?”
Chloe glanced at Damon in front. “Let’s have some barbecue.”
Stanley’s eyes lit up. “Great, barbecue it is.”
The car came to another stop at a green light. Damon took out his phone again.
[Book all the barbecue restaurants around Starlight International!]
Nate, who was about to go out and was tying his shoe, heard a familiar sound. He took a deep breath, pulled out his
phone from his pocket, and replied with a blank face,
[“Got it! Anything else you need me to do?”]
He needed to plan my route and improve his work efficiency.
[To be decided.]
Nate pocketed his phone, tied his shoelaces, and finally stepped out the door.
Finally, in front of the grand entrance of Starlight International building, they got out of the car. Stanley stretched
out his arms. “Man, that ride was a real head-spinner. The driver’s skills are a total mess, more tiring than horse
riding! Hey, Chloe, let’s go horseback riding. It’s been a while, right? Still remember how to ride? If not, I can teach
you.”
He had to show off his skills in front of Chloe.
Chloe seemed somewhat interested when he changed the topic to horse riding. “Horse riding? Haven’t done that in
years! Damon, how about joining us this weekend?”
Just as Damon was taking out his phone, he heard Chloe’s question and glanced at Stanley nonchalantly. Stanley,
with one hand in his pocket, squinted his eyes and gave a charming smile..
“Chloe, look at his high and mighty young master act. Does he look like someone who can ride a horse? Just don’t
take a fall and become a cripple, or you’ll have to take responsibility!”
Hearing this, Chloe looked at Damon, her eyes filled with inquiry.
Damon barely cracked a smile, and casually said, “I’ll choose the location.”
