Chapter 588
Claud stood up from his seat and said, “I’m outta here!” With that said, he coldly made his way out. That guy had
gone mad, coming here to stir up trouble!
After lunch, Chloe put down her utensils and took a few sips from the glass of water next to her. “I’m full,” she said.
But Damon, furrowing his brows, seized her hands and noticed the burns on her knuckles and the back of her hand.
“What happened to your hand?” Chloe’s fingers trembled slightly, “Nothing, just a minor burn.” “How did you burn
it?” Damon asked. Chloe remained silent.
Damon glanced at Nate, who quickly handed him the ointment they just bought. Chloe was surprised. Did he know
from the start?

stuff to do this afternoon.”
“But your hand.” Damon said.
“It’s fine.” Chloe said.
Seeing Damon’s displeased expression, Chloe added, “Come home early tonight, I’ll celebrate your birthday.”
Damon paused for a moment, then pulled Chloe towards the door.
“What?” Chloe asked.
“No more work, let’s go straight home for the birthday.” Damon said.
Nate laughed quietly. After all these years, it was the first time he saw Damon so eager to celebrate his birthday.
“Wait, wait! It’s not ready yet! Don’t go home first!” Chloe said.
After finally getting rid of Damon, Chloe breathed a sigh of relief, then immediately got in the car to go home. On
the way, she looked at her hand covered in ointment and couldn’t help but laugh. This little burn didn’t hurt at all
now; it was no big deal. The car drove on, her phone pinged with a new message, but she ignored it.
Although Damon spent the afternoon at the company, Nate felt that he might as well have gone straight home! The
normally workaholic Damon, who never checked the time, spent the whole afternoon watching the clock. Watching
the time tick by, looking forward to clocking out. When the time hit six sharp, Damon stood up from his chair. “Time
to go.” He said.
Nate breathed a sigh of relief, they had finally made it through the day.
Chloe was also waiting. Starting from six o’clock, she stood by the floor–to–ceiling window in the living room;
constantly looking down at the street. Watching as Damon’s car finally came into view. As the seconds ticked by,
Chloe’s anxiety increased. This was the first time she had done so much, she hoped she wouldn’t disappoint
Damon.

With her arms crossed over her chest, she watched as the sun gradually set. The remaining sunlight only
illuminated one side of the skyscrapers, the shadows changed direction with the movement of the sun, and the long
shadows finally disappeared. Night was about to fall.
Downstairs, a black Bentley slowly approached. Chloe’s gaze followed the car until parked under the apartment
building, then she watched a tall figure get out of the car. Her eyes flickered as she watched the man enter the
apartment. Taking a deep breath, she also turned and walked towards the door.
Just as Damon entered the elevator lobby, familiar voices echoed from behind him.
“Hey, bro, wait up!”
“Damon.”
Damon frowned slightly, walked briskly into the elevator, and decisively pressed the elevator’s close button without
any hesitation. He had no intention of waiting for those two troublemakers.
