The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1067

Chapter 1067

Dorthy frowned, speaking bluntly, "Well, you did give her an opening!

We've been told from the start of training not to wear such heavy makeup. You're not even following the basic rules, and you expect her not to criticize you?"

"You..."

“Enough, enough. Rhoda, Dorthy has a point. You were in the wrong.

We're colleagues, and we should watch out for each other. But you can't be too arrogant. The minute Ms. Summers came in, she saw that your seat was empty. Fortunately, Dorthy covered for you, saying you were in the restroom. Otherwise, if she knew you were visiting Rupin in his hotel room during work hours...”

Rhoda's bravado waned a bit, but the mention of Rupin brought a hint of arrogance back to her face.

"Let her fine me, I don't care about twenty bucks! Rupin wouldn't buy me shoes for less than two grand. I'll consider that twenty bucks a donation!" She paused before continuing, "But don't push me too far. So what if she's the CEO of Starlight International? Compared to the Harper Group, what is she? Pfff!" With that, she shot a hard glance at the door, then turned to go back to the dressing room to redo her makeup.

That night, as Chloe and Dorthy were leaving through the back door, they saw Rhoda standing on the front steps.

As they came out, Rhoda nonchalantly glanced at them, then grinned, "Did you guys drive? How about my boyfriend give you a lift?" Chloe raised an eyebrow. Was she trying to show off that she had a boyfriend?

"No thanks. We don't need a front-row seat to your PDA”

At that moment, a black Mercedes pulled up in front of them. Rhoda said goodbye and hopped into the passenger seat.

The man in the car glanced at Chloe through the passenger window. Chloe had just turned to walk the other way, so he only caught a glimpse of her profile. He'd seen plenty of tall, slender women, but there was something about this one, quite captivating.

He looked at Rhoda, who had already fastened her seatbelt and asked, "I haven't seen that woman before. Is she new at the front desk?" Rhoda frowned, looking a bit annoyed,

”...She's new, but she’s not at the front desk, she's a manager. She's been picking on me since she came in this afternoon, fined me twenty bucks over some excuse to show off her authority!" Rupin scoffed,

"Oh? Twenty bucks is showing off authority? How about I show you ten times that power tonight?"

Rhoda quickly caught his double entendre and feigned anger, "Rupin, you're so wicked!"

"Don't you like it?"

"I didn’t say that!" With laughter, their car drove away.

After saying goodbye to Dorthy, Chloe received a message from Elizabeth telling her to come home early. Thinking about dealing with her gossipy family at home, she shook her head in resignation.

"Heh..." His solid chest gently rose and fell with his laughter. His unique scent filled her nostrils, giving her a sense of security. She nuzzled into his chest, not raising her head again.

Damon's hand rested on her shoulder, gently massaging it. Chloe enjoyed his ministrations.

"Did you go to The Watson Hotel today?"

"Mm-hm. Just to check it out. Nothing major.’ After a moment of silence, Damon asked again, "...Did you meet anyone special?" "No.

Damon raised an eyebrow. That guy had quite the patience. He was searching all over the city for her. Now that she was right in front of him, he chose not to reveal himself?

On the ride, Chloe dozed off in Damon's arms.

When the car stopped, she felt refreshed. As they entered the villa, a small figure rushed towards her.

"Chloe!" Chloe found herself in a leg lock courtesy of Anya. She took a step back, with Damon catching her from behind.

Anya turned her head to see Damon, then stretched out a toddler-sized arm to grip one of Damon's legs. She tipped her little head back, looking at him with her grape-sized eyes full of innocence. In the sweetest voice, she called out, "Damon."

For a moment, Chloe sensed a chill in Damon's gaze. But it was fleeting, he quickly got a grip on his emotions.
