Drunk and Daring I Kissed a Tycoon

Chapter 13

Yasmine was already waiting for Vespera at the practice range.

She wore a pastel yellow sports dress that hugged her curves. Her voluminous waves cascaded effortlessly over her shoulders, exuding a perfect blend of youthful charm and seductive allure.

As soon as she saw Vespera, Yasmine sighed in exasperation. "Ugh, you might as well wrap your whole neck up while you're at it."

Vespera smiled lightly. "I'm here for a job opportunity."

She didn't think there was anything wrong with her outfit-a sky-blue sportswear set, her hair pulled into a sleek high ponytail, and a touch of natural makeup. It was clean, professional, and appropriate.

"Vera, men are visual creatures."

"If Dominic just wanted a pretty secretary, that position wouldn't still be open."

Yasmine playfully poked her. "Being beautiful and being competent aren't mutually exclusive. Lucky for you, I bought a spare outfit. We're about the same size, so you're wearing this."

Before Vespera could protest, Yasmine grabbed her and dragged her into the fitting room, practically shoving her into the new outfit.

Since she was counting on Yasmine to introduce her, Vespera couldn't exactly refuse the favor.

When she walked out, she had transformed into a total knockout.

A white sleeveless crop top paired with a black pleated mini-skirt hugged every curve, accentuating her toned figure. Her long, sculpted legs stretched out endlessly, a vision that could make any man lose his mind.

"Oh my God—" Yasmine gasped dramatically, covering her mouth.

"Vespera, you've been hiding all this? Luke is an absolute idiot for not

appreciating what he had. And Tina? What the hell does she have that you don't?"

Vespera pretended not to hear the last part.

She frowned at her reflection, feeling uneasy. Dressed like this, it would be easy for Dominic to assume she was trying to seduce him.

"Yasmine, I don't know if..."

"Shh..." Yasmine silenced her with a finger, then fished her phone from her purse and answered the call.
