Chapter 144

Don’t worry about the cost.

My boss will cover tonight’s expenses.

I won’t have to pay a dime.

”

After hearing what he said, Lindsey felt a little relieved.

But who on earth was Domenic’s boss? He seemed to have deep pockets.

At this time, the doorbell rang.

It was the hotel staff delivering ice packs.

“Just hand them here.

” Domenic took the ice packs and shut the door.

He squatted in front of Lindsey, placed an ice pack on her swollen ankle, and held it there.

The icy sensation made Lindsey instinctively pull her foot away, but Domenic firmly held her ankle in place.

“Stay still, just endure it for a moment.

”

Lindsey’s cheeks warmed as she watched him.

Domenic didn’t seem bothered by his awkward position, focused on applying the ice.

His fingertips began to redden from the cold, yet he showed no discomfort.

He was so gentle and considerate.

The more considerate Domenic was, the more conflicted Lindsey felt.

She wondered if he would continue to be this caring if he knew about her experience that night.

How would she face him then?

His allure, his natural ability, his tender care, it all felt Like quicksand in a forest, gradually pulling her in without her realizing it.

Only now did Lindsey become aware of how deeply she was caught in this emotional snare.

She clenched her fingers, continuously reminding herself that they were nothing more than friends.

She knew she needed to shake off these growing feelings before she truly fell for him.

“Mr.

Walsh, you are quite good at taking care of others.

Is this how you usually are with other women?” Lindsey inquired, mirroring the casual tone Domenic had used earlier.

Rather than getting upset, he just smiled and locked eyes with Lindsey.

“Would it make you jealous if I said yes?”

Lindsey was taken aback by his response.

Damn it! This man was too cunning and eloquent!

“Don’t flatter yourself.

Jealous? Me? Not at all! Absolutely not!”

She puffed out her cheeks, looking very cute.

“No, you’re the first,” Domenic replied, his smile warm and affectionate.

Looking at the smile on his handsome face, Lindsey felt her heart skip a beat.

“I’ve been wondering about something.

” Domenic adjusted the ice pack and continued to apply it to Lindsey’s ankle.

Then he asked casually, “Tell me, who has a better figure, Sumner or me?”

Lindsey was momentarily speechless, then coughed.
