Drunk and Daring I Kissed a Tycoon novel 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.

That afternoon, Yasmine attended a small gathering after taking an afternoon nap. For more than a week, she had been staying at home. She hadn't attended any balls or banquets. She even turned down all the afternoon tea invitations.

Ever since the incident at the ball that night, she had been feeling uneasy. And when she heard that Emily had gone missing, the feeling only deepened. Staying home had felt like the safest option.

But today, Yasmine couldn't take it anymore. She dressed up, flawless from head to toe, and headed out to the gathering.

At an estate, about a dozen well-dressed women lounged, sipping tea and sampling trays of organic fruit fresh from the garden. They talked about Halewick's latest gossip.
