Chapter 404

Dominic's eyes settled on Vespera. His gaze was calm and unreadable. No one could tell what he was thinking.

"I slept well," answered Vespera lightly. She took the chance to avert her gaze naturally by grabbing tissues from the coffee table.

She pulled a few out, then walked over and offered them to Dominic. She said, "You're soaked. You should wipe away the water."

"Thank you," responded Dominic, taking the tissues and casually patting himself. Then, he walked over to the couch and sat down.

Vespera went into the kitchen and returned with a pot of Earl Grey tea. She said, "Mr. Reid, have some tea to warm yourself up."

Vespera poured a cup and set it beside Dominic attentively.

At this time, Dominic was holding a tablet, scrolling through something. He glanced at the tea, then took a sip. He said, "Ms. Gildon, you don't have to go out of your way. It's just a little rain. I won't catch a cold."

"Alright then," replied Vespera. She didn't say anything else. Anyway, she had done what she had to do.

She poured a second cup for herself and another for Calvert. She drank the tea sip by sip, while he downed his tea in a single gulp. He opened his mouth to say something, but then stopped short, an idea lighting up his face.

Calvert said, "Vespera, you should tell Mr. Reid."

Vespera asked, "Tell him what?"

"That Nancy showed up again! You chased her off, didn't you?" Calvert asked. Vespera felt helpless. Putting her cup down, she looked toward Dominic and said, "Ms. Acosta has indeed come by this morning. You were all asleep. I came downstairs to make something to eat, and she happened to show up at the door."

Dominic didn't react right away. A while later, he closed the tablet and looked at Vespera. He said calmly, "Gerard already told me."
