The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1290

The wait was long.

When Damon emerged from the bathroom, Chloe was waiting for him at the door, her gaze first landing on his

shoulder. His bandage was tied pretty neatly. Then, she turned to Damon and whispered, “You were in there for

quite a while…”

A small ripple of emotion passed through Damon as he smirked slightly. “Did I do a good job on the bandage?”

He pointed to his bandaged shoulder, indirectly answering her question.

Chloe gently bit her lip and moved into his warm, broad embrace. “Damon… I really love you.”

Damon’s eyes narrowed slightly as he pulled Chloe tightly into his arms. “If I can’t touch you, can you please stop

tempting me all the time?”

Chloe smiled slightly, hugging Damon’s waist tightly, and nestled quietly in his arms.

Damon found that as long as he was with this woman, no place would ever feel dull. In fact, he hadn’t left Chloe’s

room for three days.

They watched movies together and talked about the company. Chloe shared gossips from the entertainment

industry, updates about the company, and even about the competition between Infinity Media and Starlight

International.

At noon, Chloe prepared lunch downstairs. Damon was handling business in the study next door.

After Nate had sent through the files and work reports that needed dealing with, he said seriously, “Mr. Harper,

rumors in the company have been spreading wider and wider recently, don’t you think you should have a serious

talk with Presley?”

Damon was expressionless, seeming unconcerned about this..

“How’s the collaboration with PrimeVision going?”

Nate quickly replied, “They’re probably evaluating at the moment, I believe we’ll hear from them soon.”

Despite his confidence in Mr. Harper’s abilities, the scale of this collaboration was unprecedented. The collaboration

hadn’t been confirmed yet, but Mr. Harper had already invested funds. If successful, this would be the Harper

Group’s most symbolic business collaboration, and the benefits derived from it would be enduring. The scale of this

collaboration was making Nate a bit nervous.

All of this depended on PrimeVision’s decision.

Damon looked calmly at his computer screen, his tone steady. “They’ll agree.”

His gaze and tone were as if he were the decision maker of PrimeVision..

Nate let out a small sigh of relief. “Then Mr. Harper, remember, the rumors in the company…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Damon had shut down his computer and was smiling at Chloe who was coming

in with lunch..

Chloe’s gaze swept over his just–closed computer, then she went to the table on the balcony and placed the lunch

there.

Damon had already come to her side, his gaze sweeping over the table, a slight smirk on his face. She sure could

eat. Over the past few days, he had noticed her appetite had increased. Each time he saw her eating, he found her

incredibly cute. Her appetite now was even more endearing than before.

Inside the Harper Group building, people were discussing a suddenly emerged piece of news. “I heard that the

Chairman plans to retire at the end–of–year shareholders‘ meeting.”

“Yes, I heard that too, after the Chairman retires, the next Chairman will be decided, I wonder who it will be?”

“Isn’t it obvious? It’s got to be our CEO, according to the shares, it should be him.”

“You didn’t know? Most of the employees know that the Chairman favors Mr. Robin for the position this time.”

“What? Why? The CEO has been running the company all these years, how can there suddenly be a preference to

Mr. Robin?”

“Well, you know, at the CEO’s engagement ceremony recently, the Chairman was clearly against his marriage to

Ms. Summers from Starlight International. He clearly prefers the daughter of the Alonso family, but the CEO

wouldn’t compromise, going against the Chairman’s wishes, and causing the Chairman to be very dissatisfied with

him. Plus, Mr. Robin has recently gained high reputation and popularity in the subsidiary companies. With the CEO

and Chairman at odds, and Mr Robin always by the Chairman’s side, this is a good opportunity and Mr. Robin is

taking full advantage of it. Everything is in his hands.”

“Oh my god, but that daughter of the Alonso family… isn’t she a total mess? If it was me, I wouldn’t choose to

accept her either!”

“You’re too young, in big families, interest is always the most important. In this case, you’re not just marrying a

wife, you’re marrying the entire Alonso family, do you understand? Even if she’s a mess, her superior family

background can’t be ignored.”

Thinking about the possibility of a major change in the Harper family, everyone’s mood dropped instantly. They had

no idea what their future would be like.

Meanwhile, in the Harper family, Presley was sitting in the living room, his face gloomy.

Two days after the news was released, he was well aware of the discussions in the company. But after waiting at

home for two days, Damon hadn’t shown up. He released the news to force Damon to come and apologize. But two

days had passed, and he hadn’t seen a trace of Damon. The news seemed to have sunk into the sea, causing no

reaction from Damon at all.

Was he willing to give up the company for that woman? From a young age, he had told him not to be infatuated

with anything, especially women. But in the end, he disregarded his own dreams and ambitions for a woman. What

was going on? Did people have a rebellious streak? The more he forbade him from doing something, the more he

wanted to try it?

He was very angry and couldn’t accept Damon’s foolish actions. He was willing to do such a thing for a woman with

no merits

These past few days, the servants had been walking on eggshells, doing their best to steer clear of Presley’s

temper

Only Addie stayed by Presley’s side, secretly smug. Although Mr. Damon hadn’t come back for Presley yet, she

believed that he surely would.

No one would easily give up the massive fortune of the Harper Group. As long as he came back, Ms. Wendy could

very well be the future lady of the house.

Addie had just poured Presley a cup of coffee when she heard the sound of a car engine outside. She instantly

broke into a happy smile. “Presley, it could be Mr. Damon coming back!”

Presley also scoffed. Just as he’d thought! Who would give up the Harper family wealth for a woman?!
