Drunk and Daring I Kissed a Tycoon

Back upstairs, Gerard pulled Vespera into the pantry anxiously. He said, "I just heard that Ms. Acosta is transferring back to headquarters!"

Vespera asked calmly, "You're only finding out now?"

Her indifferent tone was jarring next to his visible panic. She sounded less like a secretary and more like an assassin.

Gerard was surprised as he asked, "You already knew?"

Vespera perched herself on a high stool. Arms crossed, she answered, "I found out on Sunday night."

Gerard's jaw dropped. "Sunday night? You found out before Mr. Reid did?"

If Dominic had known on Sunday, there was no way he would have been so composed on Monday morning. He certainly wouldn't have been in the mood to show up at Vespera's place.

Gerard went quiet for a moment. Then, his expression turned serious. "Vespera, I know Mr. Reid likes you. I've said it before, but you know his story with Ms. Acosta. They grew up together and were childhood sweethearts.

"And back in Seloria, you saw how she was. She hasn't moved on. Now that she's coming back, she isn't going to just let it go once she finds out how he feels about you."

Vespera didn't even flinch. "I'm not worried."
