That’s right. But if you keep biting your lip like that, I might just have to kiss you right here and now.”
Chloe instantly stopped her lip–biting.
The bitten spot left a faint tooth mark.
“So, you’re not into me kissing you?”
Chloe’s face turned a bit awkward, “There are so many people around, can’t you tone it down a bit?”
‘So I can kiss you when no one’s around?”
**Chloe didn’t respond.
Just then, as the music hit its climax, Damon took her hand, gently pushing her waist. Chloe spun around under his guidance, then Damon pulled her back in front of him, her back against
his chest.
“Why didn’t you explain earlier?” Damon asked in her ear.
“Explain what?”
Chloe followed the dance steps, facing Damon again.
“All those rumors.”
Chloe gave a small laugh, “I couldn’t clear those up back then, how can I clear them up now? That’s not the point tonight. I came here tonight just to see you…”
Chloe paused.
Damon lifted his head, staring intently at her, “To see me do what?”
Chloe was silent for a moment. After a couple of dance steps, she looked into Damon’s eyes, “Today is one of the most important days of your life, I… didn’t want to miss it.”
Damon’s pupils suddenly constricted, his hand unconsciously tightened around her waist.
“Alright, remember that. There will be many important days in my life in the future, you better not miss any of them.”
Chloe chuckled.
“…A billion, isn’t that a bit much?” Chloe finally brought up the subject. Not only others, but she herself was also taken aback.
That’s nothing. You’re Chloe, worth every star in the universe. A mere billion, I can easily afford that.”
Chloe’s voice choked.
Their dance was elegant and unrestrained, a billion–dollar dance, so precious.
Everyone was admiring this once–in–a–lifetime dance, only Keira Summers was glaring at Chloe, her eyes filled with resentment, as if she wanted to tear Chloe apart.
The Harper Group’s banquet was always a private affair. Over the years, it had only been open to the public a few times.
Keira was all dressed up, but was upstaged by Chloe who suddenly appeared.
Amelia had carefully planned for Keira, hoping to turn things around for her. Keira’s opening dance, worth a million, was enough to make every woman jealous!
But then someone suddenly bid a billion for Chloe!
Such a huge difference made her the joke of the evening.
Wasn’t Chloe supposed to be in love with Lance?
Then who the hell is this Mr. Billion?!
Her palms were almost pierced by her own nails, and her other hand was clutching Lance’s jacket hem. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Lance’s eyes were also filled with shock!
Who was that guy?
Did he know Chloe?
He actually spent a billion to save her!
A billion for a dance, what was happening?
Chloe’s occasional laughter disturbed Lance’s line of sight, her occasional cute gestures, pained his heart.
Turns out Chloe could be so stunningly beautiful!
But, her beauty had a unique charm.
Not something anyone could mimic.
He hadn’t noticed this before, and now that he had, he clearly no longer had the right to stand by her side.
Keira was very upset. Seeing Lance constantly staring at Chloe, she was almost gnashing her teeth with hatred!
The dance ended amidst the applause, Damon bowed and gently embraced Chloe.
In the eyes of the audience, this was just a ceremonial hug.
However, Damon quietly kissed Chloe’s ear.
“Wait for me tonight, okay?”
