Chapter 557

As he drew near, even Lindsey felt her heart race.

Domenic wore a sleek black suit and a navy blue shirt underneath.

His tie was perfectly knotted, and a blue diamond lapel pin sparkled.

His hair was styled back, accentuating his handsome features.

His eyes, both dark and handsome, peered out from behind golden-rimmed glasses.

He exuded an aura of quiet reserve and unpretentiousness.

“Who is this man?”

A hush fell over the crowd.

They sensed that this man approaching them was someone exceptional, yet he was unfamiliar to them all.

Standing next to Lindsey, his warm smile seemed to charm everyone present.

“You’ve been waiting out for me, haven’t you?” His voice was soft and low, filled with affection for the woman beside him.

Lindsey shook her head and was just about to usher him into a seat when Juanita popped up right in front of them.

“Linds, who is this?” Juanita’s usually commanding presence softened considerably upon seeing Domenic, and her tone was unexpectedly respectful and gentle.

Lindsey blushed as she glanced at her mother and admitted, “He’s my boyfriend.

”

Juanita had a moment of surprise.

She gazed up at the strikingly tall and remarkable man before her.

He was Lindsey’s boyfriend, that opportunist?

Juanita couldn’t trust what she was hearing.

She’d met her fair share of people, and the way this man held his composure wasn’t something just anybody could fake.

Juanita’s brow furrowed as she considered that without knowing more about this man’s history, she could be deceived by him.

Plus, with Lindsey already head over heels, it made her extra cautious.

Juanita silently concluded he must be skilled at pretending.

Juanita’s expression shifted to one of subtle challenge.

She planned to expose this man’s true nature today.

Noticing that most guests had taken their seats, Juanita turned to Lindsey.

Her words, though directed at Lindsey, were meant for Domenic.

“Linds, since everyone’s here, let me introduce them to you.

”

Juanita proceeded to introduce Lindsey to the distinguished guests one by one.

Once the introductions were done, it was plain to see that Lindsey appeared noticeably more nervous and on edge.

These people represented leaders from every corner of the country and the CEQs of big-name companies and substantial organizations.

Their high status would leave people in awe.

Whenever Juanita introduced an elite, she’d sneak sidelong glances at Domenic now and then, half expecting him to flinch, but he remained calm from start to finish…

“Here we have Mr.

Howard, the vice president of the Vitality Group!”
