Chapter 335 Banner

Chapter 335 Banner

Chloe Morgan's POV

I had been so caught up with the pre-competition prep that I hadn't had a chance to reach out to Dominic. So when Matilda told me about Dominic's arrangements, I was both touched and surprised.

If I remember right, we still hadn't patched things up after our big fight!

Yet, even though we hadn't made up, he was still willing to do so much for me.

I looked at the messages Dominic had sent me on my phone. Even though I hadn't been in touch with him these past few days, he had been messaging me constantly, almost every hour.

At first, he was asking how I was doing, and then he kept apologizing.

The last message read: [Prepare well for the competition. I believe you will win.]

Even though I kept telling my dance team that we wouldn't lose, that we would definitely win, deep down, I was always anxious.

Our opponents this time were tougher than any we had faced before. Their dance skills were already top-notch.

More importantly, they had a lot of wins under their belt, so they were super confident about this competition.

As the challengers, we were all on edge until the official results were announced.

I was really scared we might lose. This dance team had been built through so many challenges, and I didn't want to see it fall apart.

But after seeing Dominic's message, my anxiety suddenly eased a lot, and I felt even more confident that we would win!

I took a deep breath and called Dominic.

The phone barely rang before he picked up.

"Dominic."

I softly called his name, unsure of what to say next.

"Chloe." Dominic's voice had a certain strength to it.

"I believe you can do it."

"Dominic, you really didn't have to do all this."

"These things should have been arranged by me. You must have more important things to handle."

"Chloe." He gently interrupted me. "Don't you remember? To me, your matters are the most important."

"I've already looked into your opponents. They have sponsorship and support from others too."

"I want you to be able to compete without any worries, so please accept my sponsorship, okay?"

I hadn't heard Dominic's gentle voice for days, and now hearing it made me want to cry.

"I'm sorry."

I wanted to thank him for everything he had done for me, but the words of thanks suddenly turned into an apology.

I should apologize to him.

Because we parted on bad terms, I forced myself to focus entirely on the dance team's competition, completely ignoring Dominic's feelings.

I forgot how much he cared about me, forgot that during the days I didn't contact him, he would be sad too.

"Chloe, I'm the one who should apologize."

"I'm sorry for arguing with you that day, and I'm sorry for not coming to you personally to apologize these past few days."

I shook my head, wanting to speak, but found my voice hoarse as soon as I tried.

A tear fell from my eye to the ground.

I suddenly couldn't control my emotions.

These past few days, I had been obsessively studying our opponents' dance videos, putting a ton of pressure on myself. But at this moment, it felt like all that stress found an outlet, and I couldn't stop my tears.

"Chloe, don't cry. I'll be waiting for you to come back with a victory."

"Okay," I responded through my sobs, "I will definitely win!"

After hanging up, I pulled myself together and then told my dance team about Dominic's arrangements.

This wasn't the first time Dominic had helped us, so when they found out he was sponsoring us again, they were over the moon.

"That's awesome! This is such great news!"

"With the sponsorship, we can just focus on training!"

"We're definitely going to win again this time!"

Everyone cheered and jumped with joy. Seeing their happy faces lifted my spirits too.

As we were wrapping up for the day, they mysteriously handed me a banner.

"What's this?"

I asked as I tried to open the banner to see what was written on it.

But I was quickly stopped, "No, no! You can't look at it now!"

"What is it? So mysterious?"

"It's something for Dominic!"

"Dominic has helped us so much, but we don't have anything to repay him, so we specially prepared this!"

"You have to help us give it to Dominic! It's filled with our gratitude!"

I didn't expect their secret gift to be for Dominic, and for a moment, I didn't know what expression to show.

"Chloe, you'll give it to Dominic, right?"

"We really want Dominic to feel our deep gratitude!"

Holding the banner, I didn't know what to do, "But I'm not planning to go back."

I still needed to stay with the dance team to prepare for the upcoming competition.

I had already planned not to go home after the competition.

"No way!"

"Chloe, you have to go back!"

"Chloe, please, you have to give our gift to Dominic! You won't refuse us, right?"

I really wanted to refuse, but looking at their expectant faces, the words of refusal seemed stuck in my throat, unable to come out.

"Take it back, take it back!"

"Chloe, you can't bear to refuse us, right?"

In the end, I could only sigh helplessly.

"Alright, alright, I'll go back."

"I promise, I'll give the banner to Dominic and let him feel your gratitude!"

Everyone cheered excitedly.

"Chloe, you have to tell us Dominic's reaction when he sees the banner tomorrow!"

I looked at the banner in my hand, feeling a bit helpless and a bit curious. I really wanted to know what they had written.

I was also curious about Dominic's reaction when he saw the banner.

When I got back to the villa, Dominic wasn't home yet.

I opened the banner they had carefully prepared, wanting to see what they had written.

I thought it would be some words of thanks, but when I opened the banner, I realized I was too naive.

Seeing the words "Chloe's husband, you're the best!" on the banner, I was instantly stunned, then quickly rolled the banner back up.

Oh my god, they actually wrote that!

How could they do this?

"Chloe, you have to tell us Dominic's reaction when he sees the banner tomorrow!"

They wanted to know Dominic's reaction!

I didn't even want to give this to Dominic!
