Chapter 136

he manager cut Lindsey off before she had a chance to explain.

“Quiet! Don’t cause trouble for our guests, or you’ll regret it later!”

The manager then turned to the men in the room with a grin and said, “Gentlemen, feel free to keep the ones you like.

As for the rest, I’ll escort them out.

”

Arturo glanced at the group of ladies with his captivating eyes, and ultimately, his gaze settled on Lindsey.

It was worth noting that amidst these heavily made-up women, the girl radiated an aura of innocence that held people’s attention, making it impossible to divert their gaze.

Just as he was about to request Lindsey, a thought crossed his mind.

He leaned in and whispered to Domenic, “Why don’t you go ahead and make your choice first?”

Although Arturo doubted Domenic’s interest, he offered him the choice out of courtesy and respect.

With his deep gaze fixed ahead, Domenic raised his chin, indicating Lindsey with a gesture, “I want her.

”

Both Arturo and Mercer were taken aback, their eyes widening in surprise.

Domenic hadn’t shown any interest in the women they had sent his way before.

Why the sudden change of heart today?

Arturo didn’t dare to dwell too much on the woman that had captured Domenic’s interest.

He gestured to Lindsey and instructe

, “Come over here.

”

Lindsey’s eyebrows raised in surprise, and she froze in her tracks.

The bar manager nudged Lindsey forward when he noticed her standing still.

“The guest is waiting for you.

Hurry up and pour him some wine!”

Standing before everyone, Lindsey’s frown deepened.

“I’m sorry, I’m in the wrong room.

I’m not one of the escorts.

”

Arturo watched Lindsey with interest.

Her innocent look didn’t fit that of an escort, but he assumed she was a barmaid because of the tray she carried.

It was unusual for Domenic to take a fancy on a woman, so Arturo didn’t want to ruin the moment.

Arturo took a step forward, caught Lindsey’s wrist, and guided her to sit next to Domenic, exerting a bit of force.

“You work here as a barmaid, right? Well since you’re working here, it’d be a bit awkward not to raise a toast to this fine gentleman who clearly has a soft spot for you, don’t you think?”

Lindsey had quickly dressed in a blouse and short skirt before leaving the apartment.

Her figure was slender and poised.

She sat with her legs neatly together, gripping the edge of her skirt, exuding an air of youthful innocence.

“Can I leave after I make the toast?”

Arturo glanced at Domenic and gave Lindsey a sly grin.

“You know, he’s not the type to flirt with women often.

We were just having a little wager on what kind of woman would catch his eye.

As long as you can get him to drink this glass of alcohol, the rest will be a piece of cake.

”

Lindsey’s lips tightened, and she gripped her skirt more firmly.

She swiftly picked up a glass from the table, filled it with whiskey, and stood up to hand it to Domenic.
