Crossroads

Chapter 121

Dominick asked, “What are you thinking about?

He watched as Stephanie placed the takeout food she brought back on the bedside table and then sat in the chair by the bed, lost in thought with a somewhat puzzled and displeased expression.

She was indeed thinking about something, and when she heard Dominick speak, she looked up in a daze.

Before Stephanie could say anything, Dominick frowned slightly, “You don’t need to worry about company affairs.”

“Okay,” she murmured with an uneasy expression and lowered her head, her eyes filled with conflicting emotions.

Stephanie didn’t think much of it and quickly typed on her keyboard to reply: [We’re both fine. We’ll be back tomorrow. Don’t worry.

She said, “Molly saw the news and messaged me. It seems she got drunk that day and ran into her jerk brother when she left the villa. He bothered her…”

Stephanie naturally chatted with Dominick. As she spoke, her face grew stern, and she said angrily. “If Wade messes with her again, I’ll make sure he pays for it!”
