\u201cWith so many women around him, I wonder who Damian will finally settle with? I\u2019d really like to see his final choice.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett overheard these murmurs too, Her thoughts aligned with theirs-Damian was a womanizer; he wouldn\u2019t commit to just one woman.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After Naomi finished her drink, Damian couldn\u2019t help but praise her, \u201cMs. Crowley, you hold your liquor well\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Encouraged by the compliment, Naomi grew bolder, Shyly, she asked, \u201cThen, Mr. Langley, would it be convenient to exchange numbers?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSure,\u201d Damian replied generously,\u00a0<\/p>\n
Naomi handed her phone to Damian, who took it and entered a string of digits.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When she got her phone back, Naomi ventured further, \u201cI wonder\u2026 would it be okay if I called you tonight, Mr. Langley?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian raised an eyebrow. \u201cOf course. My driver is available anytime.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Naomi\u2019s mind immediately went somewhere else entirely, and her cheeks flushed even deeper.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But the next moment, Damian clarified casually, \u201cI hope you\u2019ll like my family\u2019s chauffeur.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Naomi thought she had misheard. \u201cW-what do you mean?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian\u2019s smile was brilliant, his tone lazy. \u201cWhat? Don\u2019t think he\u2019s good enough? He makes over a thousand a day.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Naomi\u2019s face fell instantly. \u201cMr. Langley, I don\u2019t know how I\u2019ve offended you, that you would humiliate me like this in public.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
With so many eyes watching, Damian had first lifted Naomi to the clouds, only to brutally drop her with his next sentence. This public embarrassment was worse than a slap in the face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian\u2019s expression cooled immediately, all pretense gone. He turned, held out his hand to the attendant beside him, who handed him a small plate-the very same dish that had stained\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett\u2019s dress earlier.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian lifted the plate and dumped its contents directly onto Naomi\u2019s head.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The oily pasta scattered through her hair and began dripping down, splattering marinara sauce all over her light blue gown.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
In that moment, she was completely awkward and humiliated, tears streaming down her face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The spectators fell into stunned silence.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian tossed the plate aside with a flourish, then took a linen napkin to wipe his hands. His expression cold, he looked at Naomi, his voice devoid of warmth. \u201cYou didn\u2019t offend me. I just purely dislike you. Is that not allowed?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian\u2019s face was full of arrogance as he looked down at Naomi, his gaze cold as he watched her awkward state. The harder she cried, the deeper the curve of his smile became.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The onlookers gasped and muttered among themselves.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s gotten into Damian today? He\u2019s always been so charming with women. Did he wake up on the wrong side of the bed?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEven if this woman offended him\u2026 but the Crowley family just owns a restaurant chain. How could they possibly have any connection to someone of Damian\u2019s stature?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cRight, Damian seems like a completely different person today.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Despite the surrounding chatter, Damian remained unmoved. After wiping his hands, he threw the napkin directly onto Naomi\u2019s face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMs. Crowley, you are only the third woman to earn my dislike.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
With that, Damian turned. His icy demeanor caused the people around him to instinctively clear a path.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was arrogant, proud, cocky, and roguish. His height allowed his gaze to easily sweep over the surrounding crowd, finally landing in the direction of Vincent and his group.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A complex, indescribable emotion flickered in his eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent, Daniel, and Harris all noticed Damian\u2019s gaze directed their way. It was filled with unmistakable disdain, scorn, and mockery.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Receiving this unfriendly signal, Daniel asked his companions, puzzled, \u201cIs that a blatant challenge?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent held his wine glass, his voice lowered. \u201cHas he ever been subtle about challenging us before?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Harris straightened up, frowning in confusion. \u201cThere\u2019s something off about Damian today. Isn\u2019t he usually so smooth with women? Why would he go out of his way to humiliate one publicly?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent took a sip of his merlot. His gaze suddenly shifted to Scarlett, who was standing not far\u00a0<\/p>\n
away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At that moment, everyone\u2019s attention was focused on Damian\u2019s dramatic exit. Only Scarlett wasn\u2019t looking at him; instead, she was browsing the hors d\u2019oeuvres in the dining area.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The more indifferent Scarlett seemed toward Damian, the more Vincent felt something was amiss.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Is this indifference genuine? Or is it because she was certain Damian would stand up for her? Was that why, back in the restroom when I asked if she\u2019d offended anyone, she said what she did?\u00a0<\/p>\n
His mind raced with thoughts, but he still offered Harris an explanation. \u201cSomeone here might know the answer to that question.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Harris followed Vincent\u2019s gaze, saw Scarlett, and chose to remain silent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
