A flush crept up Vespera's cheeks. She shot Dominic a glare. There were only two of them in the room, yet it felt like an audience was watching. Lowering her voice, she warned, "We're at work. Stop flirting."
But Dominic pulled the document closer again. He leaned his head near hers and murmured, "Come up to the penthouse tonight and visit the cat. You haven't seen it in days. It said it misses you."
"I'll go, but I'm not staying the night," responded Vespera.
Her eyes drifted to his lips, and her breath grew warm.
Dominic's breath brushed against her cheek as he said, "Ms. Gildon, you truly do have the makings of a heartbreaker."
In response, Vespera said, "Don't say that. I might start believing it."
And then, bold as ever, she darted in and stole a kiss. Snatching the document from his hand, she turned and fled like a startled rabbit.
Dominic chuckled, the sweetness of her kiss lingering on his lips.
…
Vespera headed downstairs and handed the document to Alex. On the way, curiosity got the better of her. She peeked inside.
To her surprise, it was the approval for the reassessment of funds for the Vortex Group's project. It was the same fund Dominic had been withholding for weeks. Alex had fought relentlessly to get it released, even taking it up with Samuel multiple times.
Until today, the funds had remained frozen. So, what changed? Did Dominic finally come to an agreement with Austin?
From Luke's reaction this morning, he clearly hadn't heard anything.
Vespera handed the file to Alex.
Alex thanked, "Thank you for delivering it personally, Ms. Gildon."
He was in a good mood. He must have already received a call from Dominic.
