Drunk and Daring I Kissed a Tycoon

Chapter 9

Luke swiftly took off his suit jacket and crouched down, draping it over Tina's exposed body.

Tina wailed in devastation.

"Vespera Gildon, get the hell out!" Luke bellowed, his fury blinding him to the face that Vespera's face had turned deathly pale.

Osbert finally snapped out of his shock and rushed to support her. "Are you okay?"

Vespera clenched her jaws, her eyes red-rimmed. "Luke, you make me sick."

She shoved Osbert's hand away. Even though she could barely stand, she refused to let anyone help her.

Luke's chest tightened. That look in Vespera's eyes earlier felt like she would never open to him again. Panic crept into his heart.

Osbert hesitated before speaking, "Mr. Munoz, I think she hurt her back pretty badly."

Luke's expression darkened. He hadn't held back when he shoved Vespera just now. The image of her wincing in pain flashed through his mind.

Ignoring Tina's hysterical sobs, he got up and ran after Vespera.

"Becca, I want to leave early. I just... I really don't want to see his face anymore."

Leaning weakly against the corner of the elevator, Vespera clutched her phone, her voice barely above a whisper. The effort to keep her emotions in check made her tremble.

Vespera couldn't go back to the project department looking so disheveled.

Swallowing the pain, she forced herself to leave the company and drove straight to her new place.

Rebecca could sense Vespera's despair. She grabbed her bag and car keys without hesitation. "Where are you?"

Vespera gave her an address.

"Got it. I'm on my way."

Rebecca wasn't just her divorce lawyer-she was her childhood best friend. So, she knew Vespera well.

Vespera might look soft and gentle, but deep down, she was proud and unyielding. Ever since she found out about Luke's affair, she had kept her pain locked away, dealing with the divorce with chilling composure. Not once had she broken down in front of Rebecca.
