The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride novel Chapter 888

Chapter 888 

She turned her head to look at Katie on her side, letting out a soft chuckle. Seemed like she’d just scored an ugly duckling. 

Katie felt uneasy under Chloe’s gaze, like a poor rabbit under a fox’s stare. 

Chloe exchanged contact info with Miles, and told him to come over the day after tomorrow to style up Katie. 

Even after getting into the car, Katie felt dazed and confused. 

“Why… why would you help me like this?” Katie finally found her voice, feeling anxious. 

Chloe glanced at her, “I’m just helping myself.” 

“Huh?” 

Chloe sighed, smiling, “Someone wants to make a fool out of me using you. Of course, I won’t let her have her way.” 

“You’re talking about… the Alonso family’s daughter? How did she…” 

“My ex–fiancé, was snatched away by my sister…” 

Katie was taken aback. 

Chloe smiled, her cold gaze fixed ahead, her voice steady, “Running into your sister at the mall today was just a play she staged to upset me.” 

“…Then why must I attend the banquet the day after tomorrow?” 

“Because I want her to taste what it feels like to be upset.” 

Katie’s face darkened, “You know, you’re not very likable when you talk like this.“. 

Chloe laughed softly. Checking the time, she dialed Damon’s number. 

Damon was in a meeting, making arrangements for upcoming projects. Seeing Chloe’s call, he didn’t hesitate to pick it up. 

Even though today’s meeting was as serious as always, everyone felt an inexplicable sense of relief. For some reason, Damon was in a 

particularly good mood. Especially when he took the call, his usually cold face seemed to soften, as if a spring breeze was melting away the ice” and snow. 

“What’s up?” 

“Hey, you don’t need to pick me up. I’m heading home.” 

Damon was silent for a moment, then asked, “…What did you buy?” 

All the top executives exchanged amused glances, wasn’t he a bit too concerned? 

Chloe calmly replied, “I didn’t buy anything.” 

Chloe only felt a long silenc, but those in the conference room knew that this silence was like a suffocating atmosphere. They could even feel a cold wind whistling through the room, filling it with chilly frost. 

What on earth had happened during those few seconds of the call? 

Everyone looked at Nate. Nate just smiled, resting his hand on the table, rubbing his face. Being with Damon was like being with a tiger. Who knew what Chloe had said to Damon? With Damon’s temper, every word that followed could touch a nerve and set him off. 

Nate didn’t answer, but everyone swallowed hard at his dispirited look. 

And then… 

Oh, dear. 

“Are you busy? If so, I won’t bother you anymore. I have work to do too. Good luck.” 

After Chloe finished speaking, she immediately hung up, which left everyone in the meeting room stunned. 

They all stared at their boss, who only said a few words. Then, with a serious expression, he slowly put his phone down from his ear and placed it en the table. 

What did this mean? Their president, was actually hung up on! 

My God, who was the person on the other side? Was she too arrogant? 

The atmosphere in the conference room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Everyone held their breath, not daring to make a sound. 

Damon’s face was expressionless, his eyes fixed on the phone as if he wanted to make it disappear with his stare. 

Everyone else wished they could disappear too. But the meeting was only halfway through. 

Damon picked up a pen from the side, glanced at the top executives around him, who all stiffened in an instant. 

“Continue.” 

His handsome face was expressionless, like always. 

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Nate spoke up, “Next, the Administration Department will summarize their work and suggest future development directions.” 

The head of the Administration Department took a deep breath, picked up the file and was just about to stand up when he heard a ‘click‘ from the head of the table and quickly sat back down. 

Everyone turned to look and gasped. The pen that had just been in the Damon’s hand was snapped in half. 

How much force did it take to silently snap a pen like that? 

Nate was particularly shocked. The ink from the broken pen splashed onto Damon’s suit, staining the white cuff of his shirt as well. The black and white contrast was stark. 

How could a perfectionist like Damon tolerate this? 

Although he never explicitly stated he was a clean freak, his attention to detail was no different than one. 

Nate quickly stood up, looking at the ink stain on Damon’s sleeve, and hurriedly said, “Sir, would you like to change your clothes in the office first…” Damon stared blankly at the ink on his sleeve for a long time before trying to wipe it off. The ink had already soaked a large portion of his cuff. 

“It’s fine, continue.” 

No one knew what their president was thinking. It was common sense not to try and wipe off ink before it was dry. Damon would definitely knew. this, right? 

Nate was also completely clueless, he turned his gaze to the head of the Administration Department. The man trembled and managed to stand up again from his seat.
