Chapter 1001
Among the colleagues‘ words, there were both exclamations and murmurs. The reporter snapped back to reality, shaking his
head.
He was sure he wouldn’t pursue her! He couldn’t even if he tried.
“Did I hear she’s already engaged?”
“Can’t find any dirt on that! The guy never showed his face, then even Ms. Summers herself disappeared. Can’t find any info.”
At this point, a few others joined the conversation, “Could it be some nouveau riche?”

“Who knows? My guess is yes, those rich folks tend to be bold and reckless.”
“So you’re saying Ms. Summers aren’t?”
“Tsk, at an age desperate for marriage, you think she’s got the luxury to be choosy?”
The reporters dispersed one by one, and the sky gradually darkened. Chloe decided to drive herself today instead of letting Damon drive. They had agreed on a time, and she drove back home–on her own.
The whole way, Jeanette’s new single was on repeat. The lyrics were simple, but she really liked it. She even sang along a few times. It almost felt like she was brainwashed from hearing it so much.
When she got back to Emerald Valley Estates, Damon’s car was right behind hers.
After parking, Chloe walked up to Damon, her beaming smile was almost blinding.
“Why are you so happy?” Damon caught her as she almost lunged into his arms, looked down at her face and asked softly.
Chloe looked up at him, raised an eyebrow, “Don’t you watch the news? The internet is buzzing right now.”
Damon caught on and smiled at her. “So, that’s why you’re so happy?”
Chloe blinked, “Shouldn’t I be happy? You can’t possibly imagine how hot Jeanette’s single is today…”
The smile on Damon’s face vanished instantly, “So your happiness is because of Jeanette’s hot new single?”
Chloe’s smile froze for a moment, “… Yes, she’s brought honor to Starlight International…”
By now, they had reached the elevator. Chloe pressed the button, smiled at Damon and stepped in.
Behind her was a slightly cold figure. Using a bit of force, he pushed her into a corner of the elevator, his back against the wall, hands on her waist, leaning down to kiss her lips.
The kiss had a hint of anger and a dash of hurt.
“The elevator, huh…”
He didn’t give her a chance to speak, and her words were swallowed.

The body in front of her gradually lost its coldness. He passionately sucked on her lips, entwining his tongue with hers. Chloe was suddenly kissed by Damon. She struggled subconsciously, but to no avail. Her body went limp, clinging onto his shoulders, reciprocating his kiss.
The elevator slowly ascended, and with a ‘ding‘, the doors opened. Chloe managed to gather a sliver of sanity amidst the chaos, gently patting his shoulder while he held her.
Damon didn’t let go of her, instead holding her even tighter. His unique scent enveloped her. He wrapped his arm around her waist, leading her out of the elevator. They remained in close contact, and he never stopped kissing her the whole time.
Chloe glanced around the lobby. Thankful that the high–end apartment was empty.
With a mix of fear and vigilance, she was drowned in his kiss, stumbling towards their apartment. When they finally reached the apartment entrance, Damon continued pressing Chloe against the hallway wall. His tall figure enveloped her petite frame, bending slightly to hold her waist tightly, kissing her fervently.
The quiet hallway echoed with sounds that made people blush.
Chloe felt Damon’s intense kiss, like he was about to devour her right there in the hallway. She panicked, reaching out to key in the passcode, but fumbled and the alarm sounded. When she tried again, Damon grabbed her hand, pressing it against the wall, forcing her to focus on him.
She had lost the strength to hold her bag, which fell to the ground with a ‘thump. Helpless against his dominance, her body responded to his provocations, kindling some desire. Right at their doorstep, Chloe let loose, wrapping her arms around his neck,
standing on her tiptoes, pressing her soft body against Damon’s chest, reciprocating his kiss.
“Click” went a sound.
Just as their passionate kissing was reaching a fever pitch, when things might take an unexpected turn…
The door next to them was suddenly opened from the outside.
Chloe was startled, eyes widened, struggling subconsciously. Damon frowned, lifting his overcoat to shield the woman in his arms, her face flushed from the kissing. He looked up at the person opening the door, his eyebrows furrowed.
“What are you doing here?”
Upon hearing this, Chloe half turned in Damon’s arms, her hands on his overcoat, revealing a pair of bright eyes. When she saw the person leaning against the door, arms crossed, smiling at them, she paused, her puzzled eyes blinking.
“Seth? What are you doing here?”
Seth still had a faint smile, calmly saying, “You two are quite interesting, expressing your passion right outside someone else’s door.”
Chloe blushed, pulling Damon’s overcoat over her eyes, but quickly regained her senses.
“Your home?”
Seth straightened up, his tall figure looking rather imposing. He looked at them, lips curving up slightly.
“Seems like you’ve gotten lost, can’t even find your own front door?”
Chloe paused for half a second. The feeling she had when they exited the elevator suddenly became very clear.
They didn’t press any buttons when they got on the elevator. Even with today’s advanced technology, there probably wasn’t a device that operated on thought alone. So, someone must’ve pressed the button for this floor, which was why they ended up here.
And the floor plans for these apartments were almost identical…
“Are you… about to go out?”
