An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

After dealing with Florence, Dahlia turned to Dustin and said calmly, “Dear sir, miss, I’m very sorry for what happened earlier. I assure you there won’t be a next time. My apologies again for the disturbance.”

After she spoke, she lowered her head slightly to show her sincerity. The crowd nodded in approval as they watched her apology.

As Sir Mosey’s goddaughter, her status was second only to him. And offering a public apology was a level of humility not easily found. Her awareness of putting the situation first made the public realize that Sir Mosey had put his trust in the right person.

“There’s no need for such formality, Ms. Nicholson. We never wanted to make the situation worse. Having this resolved peacefully was the best outcome we could ask for.” Dustin nodded slightly.

“I’m Rhett Adams. And this is my sister, Abigail Adams,” Dustin replied.

“Mr. and Ms. Adams, welcome. You are our guests, so please take a seat upstairs.” Dahlia nodded. As she spoke, she gestured for a waiter and arranged front seats for Dustin and Abigail.

“Thank you.” Without hesitation, Dustin led Abigail to their seats in the front row. They had drawn quite the attention, but luckily, it didn’t escalate into a full- blown conflict. It seemed unlikely to affect their plans.
