The sun blazed intensely outside the car, and even with the air conditioning, the heat of his gaze couldn't be ignored. Her heart raced under Dominic's watchful eyes, and he found her flushed cheeks amusing. He playfully pinched her cheek.

"Alright, I'll heed your advice. No snacking on people during daylight. Let's find something else to eat."

He averted his gaze and started the car. As they drove past a distinctively styled restaurant, Vespera suggested, "How about we eat here? It looks enticing."

"Sure," Dominic agreed nonchalantly and parked the car.

They exited the vehicle and went inside the restaurant.

A white car slowly approached behind them, its window rolled down to reveal Nancy's face. She had been tailing them from afar since they left the office, but lost track of them halfway and had been searching around ever since.

Just as she was about to head back, she unexpectedly spotted their car again. Seeing them exit the vehicle, with only the two of them present, filled her with resentment. Just as she suspected. So much for a business dinner! He was actually sneaking around with this temptress!

Nancy snapped a photo of them entering the restaurant on her phone and sent it to Fawn. "Mrs. Reid, Dominic isn't focusing on his work anymore. He claimed he had a business meeting, but he's actually sneaking around with Vespera, and they even picked such a cheap place!"

Upon seeing it, Fawn was consumed with anxiety for the entire afternoon.

At the restaurant, Dominic had booked a private room and ordered a variety of dishes. Vespera sat across from him.

As she served him soup, she checked the time and remarked, "It's 12:45 pm. You have just about 30 minutes to eat before we need to return to the company. You have a meeting scheduled for the afternoon."

Dominic assured Vespera, "I'm not going to harm you, don't worry."

Despite his words, he moved to sit next to her. Vespera glanced at him and nervously licked her lips before placing the soup in front of him.
