Chapter 15

Raymond spoke while standing nearby.

Dominic lowered his gaze, staring at the woman on the screen. Dressed in a black business suit, she looked sharp, confident, and poised, exuding a quiet defiance.

He couldn't help but recall the times he had seen her disheveled, dejected, and utterly broken. And today, she had desperately tried to please, yet she couldn't endure the humiliation and ended up fleeing in defeat.

A flicker of irritation crossed his mind.

Perhaps he had been too harsh with his words today.

...

At around 9:00 pm, Vespera woke up and headed to the kitchen to make herself a

bowl of pasta.

As she stirred the pot, her phone buzzed with a notification.

It was a message from Raymond.

Since the last time she had asked about Dominic's height, weight, and

measurements, he had completely ignored her. Now, out of nowhere, he had sent over a set of numbers.

There was also a message. "Mr. Reid said you owe him a suit. To avoid any confusion while shopping, he asked me to provide you with his measurements."

Vespera stared at the message, dumbfounded.

She thought to herself, "What did he mean by this? Was he changing his mind and giving me another chance?"

She immediately dismissed the idea. She couldn't afford to be that self-absorbed.

If anything, this was probably his way of making sure she didn't use the suit as an excuse to show up at his door again. He was simply getting ahead of her, a preemptive warning not to play any tricks.

If she misread his intentions and foolishly used the suit as an excuse to see him, he would only mock her for it.

She wanted this job, but not at the cost of her dignity.

With careful consideration, she replied, "Got it, I've noted the measurements. I'll purchase the suit as soon as possible and mail it over."

Raymond read the message and relayed it to Dominic. "Ms. Gildon said she's noted the measurements. She'll send the suit by mail."

Dominic thought, "Mail it?"

Wearing his platinum-rimmed glasses, Dominic sat on the couch reading a book. His gaze flickered slightly, but he remained composed.
