Because he pulled too hard, his tie was getting tighter and tighter.
Damon frowned with annoyance while Chloe was already standing in front of him.
Damon looked up at her and stopped what he was doing.
Feeling a bit awkward, Chloe pointed at his hand which was holding onto his tie.
“Let me do it.”
Damon pressed his lips together, said nothing, and let go of his grip on the tie.
Chloe took over the tie and looked at it closely. It was just tightened because he pulled it too hard.
She attempted to loosen it with her delicate and fair fingers, then glanced up at Damon.
She didn’t see him using any force just now, so why was it so tight?
She bit her lip. In order to apply a better force, she had to move a bit closer to him, lowering her head to slowly loosen the stubborn knot.
Her hair was soft and fluffy, shimmering beautifully under the light. With her movements, it swayed gently, carrying a faint fragrance.
The room was quiet. They were very close. Damon’s eyelids drooped, his emotions stirred, and he couldn’t help but lean towards Chloe again.
Feeling his proximity, Chloe’s heart skipped a beat.
Just as the tie came undone, Chloe pretended to be calm and took off the tie.
Then she looked up at him, her eyes curled up in a smile.
“There.”
“Chloe.” Damon’s voice was low and husky.
Chloe’s heart jumped and she took a small step back.
But a hand suddenly landed on her waist, pulling her to him without giving her any chance to react.
The coldness from his body hit her face, and his cool lips pressed down.
Pressed onto Chloe’s slightly parted lips due to surprise.
Cool.
Soft.
The moment their lips touched, both of them froze!
It was a feeling of having their heartstrings plucked hard.
A never–before–experienced occurrence left them, two usually smart people, completely lost in thought for the first time.
The slightly parted lips had a faint fragrance that was gently exhaled, Damon struggling to hold back, tasted lightly and then quickly let go of her.
There was a flash of surprise in Damon’s eyes.
This woman, and her attraction to him, was not to be underestimated.
A kiss?
This was his first attempt at such a thing in his life, almost instinctively, without hesitation.
“You…” Chloe came back to her senses in panic, looking at him incredulously.
“I’m sorry, that wasn’t intentional.”
“…” Chloe’s eyes darkened suddenly.
Not intentional, what did that mean?
What did he think of her?
Her face was expressionless, her hands resting on Damon’s chest, wanting to push him away, but Damon had no intention of letting her go.
“Let go of me!” Chloe was somewhat angry.
“No, I need to explain this to you.”
“No need! I understand…”
Damon frowned, “What do you understand? Even I just confirmed it myself, how could you understand?”
