Drunk and Daring I Kissed a Tycoon

Chapter 493

A while later, Gerard and Calvert seemed to realize where their thoughts were headed and quickly looked away.

Vespera considered clearing the air, but explaining might only make things even more awkward.

"Thanks for earlier. You must be tired. You should eat something," said Dominic. He picked up a spoon and dipped it into the soup before holding it up to Vespera's lips.

Vespera felt frustrated. What did Dominic mean that she must be tired? He should keep his mouth shut!

Originally, Raymond hadn't thought much of it. He had made breakfast, which included nourishing and restorative food, before everything had happened. But now, with Dominic saying that in that tone, even Raymond's face turned visibly red.

As for Gerard and Calvert, they always jumped to conclusions. So, they sensibly grabbed Snowball and moved to another place. It was way too cringey.

Later that morning, in the office, ever since Dominic had uttered those words, all of Vespera's usual work tasks were done by Gerard.

Gerard didn't explain why, and honestly, he didn't need to. The implication was too obvious.

In the end, Vespera couldn't take it anymore, but she couldn't bring herself to explain things to her colleagues. So, she escaped to the secretarial department.

After wrapping up a few tasks, Vespera went to pour a glass of water and wandered over to the floor-to-ceiling windows. She stared out at the buildings across the skyline, her thoughts drifting back to what Calvert said the night before, that someone was stalking her.

That thought yanked her nerves taut all over again. Last night, she had pondered on whether she should confess to Dominic or not the entire night. When the sun rose, she had made up her mind. She would tell Dominic everything tonight.
