Chapter 483

"Why are you so quiet?" Dominic asked.

Vespera replied, "I'm just a little surprised."

Dominic said, "Don't be. You'll understand soon enough."

With that, Dominic entered his office. Vespera lingered in place and thought about

it. A few possibilities flickered through her mind, but none seemed to land with

certainty.

Just then, Gerard walked over from his office and called Vespera. Snapping out of her thoughts, she looked at him and immediately remembered the scene from yesterday. Feeling guilty, she apologized, "I'm sorry about yesterday. Are you mad?"

Gerard was confused. He responded, "Why would I be mad? If anything, I should be thanking you. I didn't have to drive yesterday, and this morning, Mr. Chandler told me I didn't need to go to the penthouse. It has been blissful."

Vespera was rendered speechless. Gerard added, "If you get the chance, can you ask Mr. Reid if you two will be commuting together from now on? I just want to make sure I'm not a third wheel."

Vespera didn't know what to say. A long while later, she finally muttered, "You should ask him yourself."

Then, Vespera turned and walked straight into her office, leaving Gerard behind. Honestly, she hadn't expected him to act this way. She had figured he might be in a dilemma. But now, she couldn't help laughing to herself. It was kind of funny.
