Chapter 584
Chloe plonked the cake on the kitchen counter, her heart brimming with anticipation. She picked up the prepped
cream and other decor stuff, and gingerly started dressing up the cake.
The afternoon has left her plenty of time to do a zillion things. But soon enough, Chloe’s phone was buzzing.
Spotting the incoming call, her lips twitched. She should have blocked this number ages ago.
Staring at the screen for a bit, Chloe sighed and picked it up. Although on a call, she still managed to keep her smile
intact and her tone polite, “Hello, Mr. Watson.” Claud’s deep, distinct voice came from the other side, “I’ve booked
us a table for lunch. Let’s eat together this afternoon.”
Chloe closed her eyes, feeling helpless at this man’s high–handedness.

“I’ll pick you up.” Claud said.
Chloe took a deep breath, “Mr. Watson, if you’ve got something to say, just spit it out over the phone.”
“If you agree to be my girlfriend, you don’t have to eat with me today.” Claud said.
“I’m gonna pass, Mr. Watson!” Chloe said.
“Then come eat. I’ll pick you up.” Claud said.
“Where and when?” Chloe was speechless, why were the men around her always so troublesome?
Claud then sent her the restaurant address.
She almost threw her phone when she saw it!
Was he doing this on purpose?! He had booked a restaurant right across from the Harper Group! Was he trying to
make her bump into Damon on purpose?
The appointment was at two o’clock, which was fast approaching. Chloe sighed and packed up her beautifully
decorated cake. After freshening up and changing her clothes, she stepped out.
Entering the restaurant, Chloe cautiously scanned the room. When she spotted her table, she heaved a sigh of
relief.
Thankfully, it was tucked away in a secluded corner, with a big potted plant for cover.
Claud, dressed in a suit, was sitting there. His handsome looks and noble demeanor seemed to have female
customers and waitresses glancing his way more than usual. But he didn’t seem to be enjoying the attention, his
face was stony, giving off cold vibes.
Chloe swallowed, took another look at the Harper Group building across the street, and walked towards him.

like we’re having a secret affair.”
“A secret affair.” Chloe cracked an awkward smile, “You’re overthinking, I just don’t want some people to see us.”
“Damon?” Claud asked.
Chloe shot him a look! If not for her manners, she would have glared at him. He knew very well what he was doing.
“What do you want?” Chloe asked.
“Let’s eat first.” Claud said.
“Mr. Watson.” Chloe’s patience was wearing thin.
Claud, however, remained impassive, beckoning the waiter to order.
Watching Chloe obviously holding in her temper while ordering, Claud’s fine eyebrows twitched slightly, a hint of
change in his indifferent eyes, “The Watson family’s new hotel in W City is about to start trial operation, I heard
you’re quite the whizz in PR, so I’m handing you the task.”
