An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

“Um… Brian, you were drugged earlier. Thank goodness Dr. Rhys saved you. Otherwise, you might be in grave danger.” Alicia quickly spoke up to break the awkward silence.

“What? He saved me?” Brian looked at Dustin in disbelief. “Are you sure about that? I don’t remember any of this.”

“You lost your senses because you were drugged and almost caused a disaster. If Dr. Rhys hadn’t intervened, the consequences would have been unimaginable,” she said earnestly.

“Yes. You should thank Dr. Rhys,” Aurora chimed in with a nod.

“Hmph! Who asked him to save me? He’s just sticking his nose where it doesn’t belong!” Brian scoffed and glared at Dustin disdainfully.

“I’m tired. I’m heading back to my room to rest,” he added coldly before leaving.

He had looked down on Dustin since meeting him. Hence, it was a blow to his pride when he learned that Dustin had saved him. Naturally, Brian couldn’t accept this outcome, and apologizing to Dustin was out of the question.

“Dr. Rhys, I’m sorry about Brian’s attitude. He’s stubborn and terrible with words. Please don’t take it to heart.

“Alicia smiled apologetically.

“It’s okay.” Dustin shrugged. He never expected Brian to shower him with gratitude. As long as he didn’t cause any trouble, Dustin would be grateful.

“Dr. Rhys, what do you think about my earlier proposal at the dinner table?”
