Chapter 474
She quietly walked up to him and whispered, “Why are you still up?”
Damon looked up, closed the file he was holding and set it aside. He then looked at her and asked, “Did you have fun driving?” Chloe’s heart started to race. After a moment, she finally found her voice, “You…”
“I was worried you might run into trouble out there alone, but it turns out the most dangerous one was you. You were speeding on a mountain road in the rain, Chloe, aren’t you scared of dying, huh?” Damon said.
Chloe licked her lips, silently praying. She had been fretting the whole way about how to explain why she came back so late. She was worried that spending too much time with Jeanette might upset him. But she didn’t expect that the real trouble was waiting for her.
“I thought it was okay to do that.” Chloe said.
“That’s playing with fire, you know what could have happened?” Damon asked.
Chloe had no idea what to say because this seemed scarier than making him jealous. Then the next second, she got another blow. “Also, why did you go looking for that woman in the middle of the night? What did you do after you dropped her off?” Damon asked. Just as she thought, he was jealous. But luckily, she didn’t do anything!
And really, what could she do with Jeanette!
“We didn’t do anything, I’ve been wanting to sign her, and today was a good opportunity.” Chloe said.
Damon frowned, Chloe glanced at him for two seconds and quickly said, “Speaking of which, Damon, can you lend me some money first?”
“Lend money?” Damon frowned again looking at her.
Chloe breathed a sigh of relief, “I want to hold a concert for Jeanette, but it needs a big investment. But don’t worry, I will pay you back double when the time comes.
Damon stood up, pulling her towards the bedroom.
“How much do you need?” He asked.
“Well, about twenty million dollars.” Chloe said.
“Alright. I’ll give you.” Damon said.
Chloe was slightly surprised, “You trust me just like that? Given Jeanette’s situation, anyone would think I’m crazy for wanting to hold a concert for her.”
Damon helped Chloe off with her leather jacket, his face expressionless, “Who dares to call you crazy?”
That was not the point.
“I trust you.” Damon gently stroked her hair, looking down at her, “You’re so smart, would you do something that puts you at a disadvantage?”
Chloe smiled, “Of course not.”
Damon smiled, lightly touching her cheek with his finger and then kissing her forehead gently, “Go take a shower, don’t catch a cold.” “Okay.” Chloe nodded, a warm feeling slowly rising in her heart.
At nine o’clock the next morning in the meeting room of Starlight International, everyone was opposed to Chloe signing Jeanette. Chloe sat in the main seat, her pretty face filled with indifference.
“I’ve prepared the contract; we’ll sign it at eleven!” She emphasized again with a dominating attitude, leaving no room for doubt. But this was not a small matter, and all the executives exchanged glances, their faces filled with seriousness and disdain. “Ms. Summers, we haven’t had much disagreement with your decisions in the past, but some of your recent actions are simply unacceptable!”
“That’s right, a well–operated PR company can’t just whimsically change its operating mode. There are still people in the company who are dissatisfied with this, and now you suddenly decide to sign Jeanette. This is really…”
