The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1004

Chapter 1004 

Beverly’s face eased up a bit. 

“Hey, ain’t I right here with you? RM is a well–known international brand. I’ve already chatted with their designers, and this year’s autumn and winter new styles are pretty slick. Throw in the look I’ll design for you, you’re gonna be the belle of the ball for sure. “Jeanette might be popular, but she’s still just a newbie. International Fashion Week is a big deal, right? With so many international stars around, who’s gonna really notice her? Our job is to totally upstage her at the show. That’s what victory looks like.” 

Beverly’s face relaxed a bit more, and a smile crept onto her face. 

“Thank god you are here, Jacob… I might have been really upset otherwise.” 

Jacob gave her shoulder a comforting pat. “Alrighty, no more worries. We’re going to try on dresses this afternoon, right? Let’s grab lunch first. I’ve got some stuff to do later. You go ahead with your folks, I’ll catch up as quick as I can.” 

Beverly shook her head, “No lunch. I’ll feel bloated trying on dresses.” 

Jacob just shook his head with a helpless grin, not saying anything. As a stylist, of course, he wouldn’t want his model to have any body issues. 

To be fair, for this Fashion Week, Chloe didn’t just invite Jeanette. Two other artists who had shot two films and had a decent fashion sense also got the green light. 

Miles was all fired up – Fashion Week, long time no see. 

At noon, Chloe was about to head out for lunch when she saw Miles hesitating outside her office. Seeing her, his face tightened. 

“What’s up?” Chloe asked. 

Miles took a deep breath before finally saying, “I heard there’s a big fashion district in P City. I just met with three artists, and I’m thinking of going there to check out the trending styles. Your engagement party is coming up, wanna come with?” 

Chloe stood at her door, sizing up Miles for a while before finally nodding. 

“Sure, let’s ask Katie to join us. We’ll head over after lunch.” 

“Okay.” Miles nodded, “I’ll go get her at the studio.” 

Chloe watched Miles turn and stride off, let out a sigh, and called Damon. 

The call was answered quickly, Damon’s deep, soothing voice coming from the other end. 

“Hmm?” 

“I can’t have lunch with you today.” 

Damon was quiet for a moment, “…Why?” 

“Something came up at the company.” 

“So busy you can’t even spare time for lunch?” 

“No, I’m going to eat with them.” 

“Who are ‘them‘?” 

“Well, Miles and Katie. Fashion Week is coming up, they might need some inspiration. … also thought I’d look at some engagement dresses…” 

The first part of her sentence was like a slap in the face to Damon, but the last sentence cooled him off. 

“Then have a good time shopping.” 

“Okay, make sure you eat a good lunch.” 

“Alright.” 

Chloe took a deep breath, then called Nathan. 

“Chloe, what’s up?” 

“I can’t have lunch with Damon, can you keep him company?” 

Silence… After a while, Nathan blinked, waiting for Chloe to say more. 

“…That’s it?” 

“Is there anything more important than three meals a day?” 

“Haha, no.” 

Nathan sat in his office, forcing a grin. 

“Alright then.” 

After hanging up, Nathan grabbed some food and headed over to Damon’s office. 

“Damon, I’m here to keep you company for lunch!” 

Damon glanced at him, then went back to his work. Nathan filled up half the table with food. Looking at the unresponsive Damon, he urged, “Come on, eat!” 

“I’m not eating.” Damon answered coldly. 

“Why?” 

“I’m on a diet.” 

“What?!” 

Nathan was so shocked he almost fell off his chair. 

What did he just hear? 

Damon, on a diet? What was going on?! 

A big, burly man, dieting to lose weight? 

Where did he need to lose weight? Damon was all muscle! Had his life been so comfortable he’d started to gain weight? 

He cautiously eyed Damon, and asked tentatively, “Did… Chloe say something about your weight?” 

Damon frowned, gave Nathan a piercing look, “You can go eat somewhere else.” 

“So you’re really not eating?” 

Damon simply ignored him.
