The Almighty Dominance

Chapter 87

At one of Vancouver's most renowned salons, Cathy Black reclined beneath

gentle hands, savoring the soothing rhythm of a facial massage.

The air was sweet with lavender and rosewater, calming her senses, until her smartwatch buzzed insistently, yanking her from blissful repose.

She opened her eyes, annoyance already sparking beneath her lids.

"Yes?" she snapped, answering the call.

"Madame Black, it's Jacqueline, Mr. Charles's secretary," came the crisp voice on the other end.

Cathy exhaled, impatience bleeding into every word. "Well?"

"Mr. Charles has invited Sophia Lancaster to his office and ordered me away from my desk," Jacqueline said.

Cathy's face went cold at the mention of that name.

"Sophia Lancaster," she repeated, as if testing the flavor of it on her tongue.

The esthetician, still smoothing delicate creams over Cathy's face, tried to soften the moment.

"She's the most celebrated beauty in Vancouver," she offered quietly.

"A famous model, back in the day."

Cathy's body tensed as if struck by a live wire.

In a sudden rage, she bolted upright, knocking the esthetician off balance.

Her open palm connected sharply with the woman's cheek, sending the poor girl sprawling onto the floor.

A collective gasp choked the air.

The manager hurried forward, bowing deeply.

"Please, Madame Black," he pleaded, voice trembling.

"She meant no harm."

"Just clean my face," Cathy ordered coldly.

Then, turning her attention to the bodyguard stationed in the corner, she barked, "Bernard, ready the car. We're going to my husband's office immediately-no excuses, no delays."

Bernard inclined his head and reached for his phone.

"Yes, madame."
