Chapter 342

Vespera blinked, a trace of shyness flickering in her eyes. She gave a quiet, almost inaudible hum in acknowledgment.

Dominic's gaze hardened, chilling to the core.

Vespera straightened, her posture regaining its usual poise. With the tablet in hand, she turned and walked out, each step firm and unwavering.

Dominic's fury erupted.

One moment, she'd come in to inform him of an upcoming meeting; the next, she was delivering the requested documents, only to return soon after with another cup of coffee.

Gerard certainly buzzed around him like a busy bee.

Whenever Dominic asked Vespera something, she answered with a bright, unwavering smile.

A luncheon was scheduled for noon.

Both Vespera and Gerard attended.
