The entire airport fell silent. Everyone looked at Chloe, who was next to Nathan, with astonishment.Their eyes fell on Chloe's head, at the fluffy ears that suddenly stood up with the sound.
Silent.
Dead silent.
Everyone was clueless about the situation. It was an unexpected novelty, a novelty so unfamiliarthat Chloe wasn't sure how this new addition would sit with her in the current situation.
Chloe was completely in the dark about what was happening. Before leaving the house, Damon hadwrapped the scarf around her neck and placed the hat on her head with his own hands. She hadmerely stood there, allowing him to dress her, not having any idea what the hat or scarf looked like.
That was right, her trust in Damon had reached such an extent that she seemed almost blind. Andeven now, she was clueless about what was going on.
She just knew something was off, including everyone's reactions around her.
She furrowed her brows, casting a quick glance at Damon who stood beside her, but Damon'sexpression at that moment was also notably surprised.
What was happening here?
The silence that followed felt like it lasted an eternity.
However, the instigator of this whole situation, Nathan, seemed oblivious to it all. Seeing the earsspring up just as he expected, he couldn't contain his excitement.
“Hahaha, I didn't expect you to actually like this, Chloe!" he laughed, stretching out his other hand tograb the other charm on Chloe's hat.
Then, he tugged at the charms on Chloe's hat from the left and right.
"Squeak—"
"“Squeak—"
"Squeak Squeak Squeak—"
A series of "squeaks" echoed through the large airport. Chloe's bunny ears on her hat startedbobbing in rhythm with the sounds.
Even if Chloe was unaware of what her hat was capable of, after watching Nathan's antics, she hada pretty good idea. She grimaced, swatted Nathan's hand away, and then grabbed one of thecharms, giving it a firm squeeze.
“Squeak—"
A peculiar sensation came from the top of her head. Chloe's mouth dropped open in surprise.
"Hahaha"
Nathan laughed even harder. “Chloe, don't tell me you didn't know your hat could do that?"
Chloe looked at Damon, whose eyes were fixated on her bobbing bunny ears. She could detect ahint of novelty in his dark gaze. She then glanced sideways at the several tall, dignified men behindher. Clearly, they also wore expressions of astonishment and amazement on their faces.
She turned back to Nathan, "How did you know."
Nathan replied, “What's so surprising about this? This hat is all the rage right now, even little Anyahas one."
Anya. A child barely a few years old owned one...
Chloe looked at Damon, her eyes full of accusation. However, Damon's face remained impassive, ahint of interest now apparent in his gaze.
This little episode had everyone around them chuckling. The tense atmosphere that had beencreated by the men was now replaced with a lighter one.
“That's Ms. Summers. Isn't she adorable?"
“Nathan is so outgoing, and handsome too. He must be fun to be with."
“The men standing next to her are all handsome, aren't they? And they are so cute too! Have youseen their surprised faces when the hat started squeaking and the bunny ears stood up? It's just tooadorable!"
"But what are they all doing here? It’s quite the gathering."
As the questions were raised, a nearby journalist snapped back to reality and hurried towards Chloeand her group. They were quickly surrounded by the crowd and had no choice but to stay put.
Nate quickly organized his men to protect everyone. Damon pulled Chloe into his arms, his coldeyes staring down the reporters.
"Ms. Summers, may I ask where are you all off to?"
Chloe didn't reply, but Kane stepped forward, clearing his throat before saying, "Didn't you know?Chloe has been invited to the Global Economic Summit in H City."
Everyone was taken aback by this news.
“She's been invited to the Global Economic Summit? Oh my god, just a year."
The reporter continued, "So is Mr. Damon going as her companion?"
As her companion?
It was quite normal for public figures to bring a date to a public event. Now, Damon's reputation as aboy toy was solidified, hitching a ride on Chloe's fame to the Global Economic Summit.
Chloe didn't get a chance to speak; Damon's face remained impassive. Kane feigned ignorance tothe reporter's insinuations, and said, "Of course Damon is Chloe's companion. They already havebabies together, and it's too late for regrets now. They'll just have to make do."
Clearly, Kane's words earned him a kick from Damon.
Kane forced a smile to the camera, nursing his sore foot. Damon, holding Chloe, headed towardsthe security check. The others trailed behind them.
Seeing them leave, Kane quickly tossed the microphone back into the crowd of reporters and ran tocatch up with the group.
Despite not getting any significant news, the reporters noticed Robin and Presley standing not faraway. The two men stood there, observing everything with a cold gaze.
The reporters quickly ran towards them.
“Mr. Presley, are you also going to H City to attend the Global Economic Summit?"
"We just learned that Ms. Summers of Starlight International also received an invitation to theGlobal Economic Summit. Did you know about this? Do you have any idea where she might rank in
the summit?"
“What are your thoughts on Mr. Damon accompanying Ms. Summers to the Global EconomicSummit?"
The questions seemed to hit a nerve for Presley; his face darkened as he began to speak. "Ms.Summers is remarkably assertive with superb business acumen, and her current achievements arenot surprising. I reckon she'll be the breakout star at this year's Global Economic Summit. As for herrankings, I don't know, and frankly, it doesn't concern me. However, making it to the top of the globaleconomy in such a short time is nothing short of miraculous. As for her taking Damon as her plusone, I've got no opinion on that. A grown man riding a woman's coattails to the Global EconomicSummit, well, if he doesn't replace that embarrassing, I've got to admire him."
With every word, he professed indifference and ignorance, but each sentence dripped withcontempt and sarcasm towards Chloe and Damon. The reporters, ever eager to twist a story, werealready drafting their headlines.
“As a senior member, and a respected veteran of the Global Economic Summit, do you have anyadvice for Ms.
Summers, the business world's rising star?"
Presley's eyes glinted with impatience, but he responded nonetheless, "She's young, so it'sinevitable that there will be some recklessness and arrogance. It's best to keep her feet on theground and steer clear of any shortcuts. Attending the Global Economic Summit is indeed a proudmoment, and she should treasure it. She might not get another chance to attend with such fanfare."
Not just the reporters, but even the few people undergoing security checks at the front, understoodthe veiled threat in Presley's words.
After this year's Global Economic Summit, he intended to suppress Chloe, preventing her fromattending the next summit.
