Love the Second Time Around Novel

Chapter 68 Good News

My heart pounded at the massive bouquet of fragrant lilies I had mindlessly accepted earlier.

It was a gift from the national heartthrob, Nicholas Scott himself; I would be remiss to reject his present.

“Thank you!” My smile could not get any wider then.

Nicholas still had his hand on the bouquet. He tugged me into his arms and whispered into my ear, “It’s great that you’re fine. You look beautiful.”

I froze the minute I was in his embrace. Cameras were flashing at me from all directions.

Nicholas released me a brief moment later. Still, a blush crept up my face.

Just then, a thought crossed my mind. I wonder if Nicholas’ fangirls will come after me.

I was still composing myself after Nicholas’ hug when Dominic suddenly shoved all the bouquets in his hand to me and kissed me on the cheek.

“I can’t believe you’re so happy after getting one bouquet. Here, you can have all of these. Are you over the moon now?”

The cameras began flashing furiously once more.

I stood stunned with the mountain of bouquets in my arms. Dominic had already straightened himself as if nothing was wrong.

My gaze traveled between the two men beside me. I felt like I was in a daze.

Dominic and Nicholas, on the other hand, were staring intently at each other.

It may have been a figment of my imagination, but I thought I sensed a hint of hostility in their gazes.
