Chapter 208
Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
Domenic set aside the pool cue and strolled to the coffee counter, picking up a handcrafted coffee.
He leaned casually against the counter, a distant look in his eyes.
Remembering a passionate ki*s with Lindsey, a smile crept onto his face.
Observing Domenicâs self-contained chuckle and the unmistakable hint of affection, Reece approached Emilio, visibly astonished, and nudged him.
âWhoâs the lady? Who has captured his heart?â
Emilioâs lips twisted into a wry smile.
Having received a stern warning from Domenic, he remained tight-Lipped.
Meanwhile, Domenic gazed at them with an inquiring look.
âWhat do you think women generally like?â
Reeceâs eyes widened in sheer amazement.
This was the first time he had ever heard Domenic show interest in what a woman might Like.
Usually indifferent to such chatter, Reece found his curiosity piqued.
âDomenic, are you thinking of getting a gift for her? Do I know this lady?â
âDoes it have anything to do with you?â Domenicâs tone turned cold as he retorted, âIf you ask another question, Iâll withdraw my investment in your newly established law firm right away!â
Reece felt a chill run down his spine.
He had ambitions to expand his law firm nationwide, and without Domenicâs financial backing, that dream seemed distant.
Reece nodded, wisely choosing not to probe further.
âWomen usually love luxury items.
The more expensive, the more they tend to appreciate them.
â
âLuxury itemsâ¦â
Domenic pondered, aware that in Lindseyâs eyes, such opulence was likely beyond his means.
He had decided not to disclose his family ties or wealth to Lindsey before fully assuming control of his familyâs empire.
His intention was to keep her distance from family conflicts for the time being.
âIs there something expensive but not seeming expensive?â
Reece and Emilio exchanged puzzled glances, finding Domenicâs words contradictory and baffling.
âThe only thing that comes to mind is antiques,â Emilio suggested.
Reece added, âItâs actually not too complicated.
Generally, a woman gauges her significance in your Life by how much effort and resources youâre willing to invest in her.
In simpler terms, she needs to feel genuinely valued and cared for.
â
Hearing this, Domenicâs expression grew more serious.
* In the afternoon, Lindsey visited Vincentâs company.
This time around, the receptionistâs demeanor had completely changed from their last meeting.
She stood up, greeted Lindsey with a broad smile, and asked, âMiss Stewart, are you here to see Mr.
Lopez?â
âYes.
â
âHold on for just a moment, please.
â After making a quick call on the internal phone, the receptionist informed Lindsey, âHe is tied up in a meeting right now.
You can wait in his lounge.
Weâll let you know when you can go in to see him.
â
âThank you.
