Chapter 219
Vespera’s racing heart suddenly calmed down. It was as if someone had injected a tranquilizer into her. Her mind and body were no longer in overdrive, and she stopped analyzing everything
It wasn’t time for work now. Vespera had the right to act like she hadn’t seen or heard anything
Dominic slowly tumed to see Roxanne standing in front of him. He wore a gloomy expression and did not seem as gentle and polite as he did during the blind date.
Instead, he came across as rather unfriendly. “Ms. Moreno.”
“I’m happy to see you again. Naturally, Roxanne had noticed Dominic’s expression. She thought he would become delighted if she took the initiative to greeti
However, Dominic remained aloof. He nodded perfunctorily and turned away without even inviting Roxanne to have a seat or saying anything else.
Without a word, he just left Roxanne hanging there, instantly embarrassing her. She didn’t want to go, but he didn’t even Invite her to join him.
“Mr. Reid.” Roxanne said softly, but he continued ignoring her. Her cheeks gradually tumed red from utter embarrassment. Even her friend beside her was taken aback by the scene,
Wasn’t Roxanne there for a date? How could Dominie just ignore her lilo that?
Both of them stood in front of Dominic without a word. Even guests at other tables were starting to look over.
Although Calvert and Gerard sympathized with Roxanne, they dared not speak up on their behalf.
Meanwhile, Vespera was eavesdropping on the conversation. The more she listened, the more confused she became.
Why was Dominic being so cold to Roxanne Weren’t they there for a date?
རོ, ༈ ཝ
Based on what Vespera understood about Dominic so far, he wasn’t someone who expressed his emotions easily. Instead, he was the type who appeared eerily nonchalant at all times
“Mr. Reid, may we join you?” Roxanne’s frimul could no longer stand the embarrassment.
Without looking at her, Dominic merely replied coldly, “No.”
Roxanne and her friend were unsure of what to say.
“But..” Dominic suddenly spoke up as it he had changed his mind and tamed to Roxanne and her friend.
A glimmer of hope rose within Roxanne. Then, she beat him speaknonchalantly. “If you really like sitting here, my secretary is at the table ahead, you can join her..
Roxanne tumed to look at Vespera, whose eyes had widened in shock, Dominic’s response had rendered everyone speechless.
A few seconds later, Vespera was consumed by rage. She clenched her fists and wondered whether Dominic had lost his mind.
He probably did. There was no other explanation.
Calvert and Gerard exchange glances. Things were getting dangerous.
Roxanne and her friend were stunned Why….
The atmosphere suddenly turned eerily quiet. Normally, whenever the man behaved poorly on a date, the woman would usually leave immediately.
Yet Roxanne set aside her embarrassment and smiled wamily. “Supe.”
She walked toward Vespera’s table and took a seat. Her friend did the same as well.
All four seats at the table wele fully occupied now.
Vespers and Byron were at a loss for words as they watched Roxanne and her friend smoothly take their seats without even asking for their permission.
But Vespera wasn’t as rude as Dominie was, nor was she the type to put up with Roxanne’s tricks.
Vespera took a deep breath before smiling wannly at Room. “Ms. Moreno, our friend will be joining us later. Since you like this spot, we’ll let you have it.” With that, she got to her feet. Even Byron did the same.
Then, Roxanne grabbed Vespera’s hand. “Let’s sit together.”
Roxanne sounded miserable as if she were about to try.
