Chapter 222

Shortly after Lindsey sent the correction, Domenic called her.

Lindsey’s heart raced.

After hesitating for a while, she picked up the phone and said, “Hello, Mr.

Walsh.

”

“Who else wants to know your measurements?” Domenic asked in a raspy voice, “Tell me, and I’ll teach that man a lesson when I return.

”

Lindsey hadn’t anticipated Domenic to be so straightforward, but it seemed that he had misunderstood something.

“No, Mr.

Walsh, you’re reading too much into it! It’s Selah.

We’re attending Vincent and his wife’s anniversary party this weekend.

Since I helped her before, she wanted to make me a dress and asked for my measurements.

I just don’t know how I ended up sending them to you…”

As Lindsey explained in a rushed and flustered manner, Domenic responded with a low, amused chuckle.

“Are you so worried I’ll think you’re involved with another man?”

Domenic was deliberately teasing her, wasn’t he?

Lindsey blushed immediately.

Why did she have to explain herself to him? It wasn’t her business who she was texting!

“No, I’m just clarifying the situation! And, by the way, did you have a smooth journey?” Lindsey quickly changed the topic.

Domenic’s voice, deep and resonant, almost seemed to caress her ear.

“Are you concerned about me? Then… Are you thinking of me?”

His tone carried a seductive, playful undertone that made Lindsey’s face blush.

Lindsey’s heart was beating wildly, but she tried her best to calm down.

“Yes, I do think of you.

”

It never crossed Domenic’s mind that Lindsey would say that.

He chuckled in surprise and said, “Really? What exactly do you think about me?”

“I’m thinking about when you’ll return so I can give back your necklace.

”

The flirtatious mood vanished in an instant.

There was a brief silence on the other end.

If not for the faint sound of breathing, Lindsey might have thought he had hung up.

As Lindsey pondered what to say next, Domenic’s voice came through again, this time much colder.

“Got it.

I’ve landed safely, so don’t worry.

”

After a short pause, he added, “Next time, be sure you really mean what you say before speaking.

”

As soon as Domenic finished his deep and cold words, the line went dead with a disconnected tone.

Lindsey gazed blankly at her phone.

Realizing the call had ended, she slumped back onto the sofa, feeling utterly drained.
