Drunk and Daring I Kissed a Tycoon

Chapter 14

Tina asked, "Luke, what are you looking at?"

She tugged on Luke's sleeve when she noticed him zoning out.

His line of sight had been blocked by the trees along the path, obscuring whatever

had caught his attention. He withdrew his gaze and said, "Nothing."

He focused on the road ahead, but his thoughts were unsettled.

Vespera followed after Dominic.

He stood near a tree, taking a call, while she trailed close behind. He glanced over his shoulder at her.

Realizing he was on the phone, she quickly stopped in her tracks and took a few steps back, retreating into a small pavilion designed to look like a giant mushroom.

She rubbed her forehead and thought, "God, I'm an idiot."

When Dominic ended the call, she walked over, awkwardly trying to act casual. "Mr. Reid, you're sharp as ever. I can't even read a situation properly, so I guess I really am unfit to be your secretary. Sorry for the disturbance."

Dominic raised an eyebrow. "You followed me all the way here just to prove you're not suitable for the job? To tell me this?"

Vespera had no defense against his words.

She forced a laugh. There was no hope of getting the job, so she might as well be honest. "Of course not. I followed you because I wanted to fight for the opportunity.

"But considering the terrible first impression I left, plus how embarrassing today has been, there's no way you'd consider me. I just figured I'd end this sooner rather than later-without making things worse."

Dominic's expression remained cold. "You think that's why I rejected you?" Vespera asked, "Isn't it?"

"You came to apply as my secretary dressed like this. If I hired you, people would assume I'm the kind of man who only cares about appearances."

He leaned down slightly, lowering his voice. "And if I really did care about that, I wouldn't need to make it so obvious, would I?"
