Chapter 550
Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
Her infatuation stemmed from a narrow perspective; she hoped that Lindsey would no Longer be enamored by this man upon mingling with the true elites of high society.
Unaware of Juanitaâs thoughts, Lindsey rejoiced that the engagement wasnât mentioned and appreciated her motherâs willingness to understand the man she loved.
âAlright, Iâll inquire about his availability this weekend.
If heâs free, Iâll bring him along to the event.
â
After conversing with Juanita, Lindsey, realizing the hour was late, went to retire for the night.
Leonel had been preoccupied at the research institute, often returning late or staying there.
Lindsey seldom spent time with him.
Upon reaching her room, she got her phone and dialed Domenicâs number.
In his office at the time, Domenic was working on an overseas project.
In front of him was a sophisticated, gilt invitation card with the words âLMHâ engraved on it.
It was noticeably more refined than the one Juanita had given to Lindsey.
Seeing Lindseyâs incoming call, Domenic grinned softly, answering promptly.
âAlready missing me?â
âAbsolutely! I just canât help it!â Lindsey playfully replied.
In a hushed tone, Domenic teased, âSend me your location.
Iâll pick you up after work.
â
Lindsey, caught off guard by his unexpected seriousness, responded, âI donât think it a good idea.
Itâs late, and Iâm at my motherâs.
It wouldnât be appropriateâ¦â
Domenic whined, âMeeting your mother is inevitable.
Am I not up to par?â
This banter elicited laughter from Lindsey.
âYouâre incredibly charming.
If youâre unsuitable, then no alive man is.
â
Raising an eyebrow, Domenic remarked, âYou flatter me.
Tell me, whatâs up?â
Perceptive as always, he sensed that there was something Lindsey wanted to talk about from their brief exchange.
âThe LMH Group extended a banquet invitation this weekend.
Can you accompany me as my date?â
Domenic glanced at the invitation on his desk, which initially didnât catch his attention.
While LMH Group was not particularly important to him, it was still a top global conglomerate known for inviting elite members of high society to their events.
How could they suddenly invite Lindsey to attend?
With a smile, he replied with narrowed eyes, âCertainly.
Iâll see you this weekend.
â
Upon ending the call, Domenic called Hendrix.
âCompile a list of the attendees for the upcoming LMH banquet.
â
âBoss, will you be attending it?â
Hendrix was caught off guard.
Every year, the CEO of Vitality Group would get an invitation from the LMH Group to the banquet, but Domenic had never gone in person.
Why did he suddenly seem interested in LMHâs banquet this time?
Fixing a cold gaze on Hendrix, Domenic signaled silence.
