Chapter 499
Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
The manâs voice grew serious.
âAre you trying to intimidate me? Keep in mind that my patience has its bounds.
â
âI knew you could easily make me vanish, but Iâve got a contingency plan.
What if I mention my stepdaughterâs boyfriendâs Last name is Walsh? Interested now?â
Following a brief pause, the individual on the opposite end of the call responded, âTomorrow at two in the afternoon at Rivercross Club.
You know where to find me.
â
âGot it.
See you then.
â
The next day, sunlight filtered through the curtains, illuminating the girlâs serene face.
The room was bathed in warmth.
Lindsey, waking up, felt the sleep leave her eyes.
She realized she was close to Domenic, enveloped in his arms, feeling his steady breathing.
Was he not getting up early today? Or was she up too early?
Lindsey gently rose from his embrace, but the next moment, he circled his arm around her waist from behind.
He spoke in a deep, leisurely tone, âWhere do you think youâre headed?â
âThe morning is breaking.
Itâs time to rise and head to work.
â
Lindsey extended her hand and playfully pinched his cheek.
With a slight frown, Domenicâs eyes slowly fluttered open.
As he squinted at the warm sun peeking through the curtains, he suddenly pulled her back onto the bed.
His tall frame now hovered over her.
âItâs still early.
â
âStill early? Time to get up.
â Lindsey murmured a soft complaint from beneath him.
âDonât talk in such a sweet and soft tone.
I wonât be able to control myself.
â Domenic smiled, his voice soft and filled with a magnetic allure.
His dark eyes felt like a captivating abyss.
Lindseyâs cheeks turned crimson.
She covered her mouth, reluctant to use that tone anymore.
She feigned seriousness and said, âI had a rather exhausting night last night.
I have a lot on my plate today.
â
However, Domenicâs deep gaze refused to relent.
He reached out, gently removing her hand from her mouth.
âIâve noticed youâre quite skilled at turning me on.
â
âNo, itâs not like that.
Itâs just that you have a hard time controlling yourself.
Youâre incredibly lustful, have remarkable physical stamina, andâ¦â
Domenic locked eyes with her.
âIf you keep talking, I might have to silence you myself.
â
Lindsey promptly sealed her lips, casting him an innocent gaze.
At that moment, her phone rang.
She gestured toward the phone on the bedside table and winked playfully at him before reluctantly getting up.
Lindsey swiftly rose and picked up the phone, saying, âHello.
â
Nancyâs voice sounded urgent, âLinds, where are you right now? The company has received numerous partnership requests today, and a group of aspiring artists has also shown up for auditions.
Can you come over and take a look?â
Lindsey glanced at the time on her phone.
It was already eight in the morning.
