Drunk and Daring I Kissed a Tycoon

Chapter 400

Vespera's eyelashes fluttered for a moment before coming to a rest.

Her body tensed, and her breathing seemed to freeze.

Dominic immediately sensed the shift in her. He straightened up and adjusted the blanket, making sure it was properly tucked in. After a moment, he quietly stepped back.

Though she was awake, Vespera remained silent, not a word escaping her lips.

"So, despite everything he had going on, he still found time to kiss me. Maybe he really does like me," she thought.

But that was all it really was. Emotions were complicated, and liking someone seemed almost trivial in comparison. Yet, Vespera wasn't any different. She, too, was simply fond of him.

Half-asleep, she drifted back into slumber.

When she awoke again, the plane had already touched down at Harborview Airport.

Outside the window, the night had fallen, and the rain showed no signs of stopping.

As Vespera stood at the plane's door, a gust of wind swept in, jolting her awake and sending a shiver down her spine.

A suit jacket slipped over her shoulders.

Dominic stood quietly behind her.
