The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1022

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 your company. 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 a comeback 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 can come along when it’s time!” 

Stanley finally smiled, but Chloe paused and said, “Since you’ve decided to come, 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?! 

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 the company, 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 that lady 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 that lady 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 but complied 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 glance, 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 playing 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…” 

Ned laughed awkwardly. Even though he hadn’t been in a relationship, 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.
