Drunk and Daring I Kissed a Tycoon novel Chapter 364

The voice was cold and commanding. It held an undeniable authority that left no room for debate. Vespera and Nancy turned their heads in unison. Standing at the office door was Dominic, his face unreadable, yet his presence conveyed a palpable tension.

It was clear he was not happy about someone being on his floor without his approval. Gerard stood behind with a smile reminiscent of a peace ambassador, trying to ease the tense and stressful atmosphere, though fully aware it was a futile effort.

"Oh, Ms. Gildon is joining you for a business lunch? I wasn't aware of that," Nancy quickly replied.

She then added, "Ms. Gildon, you should have informed me beforehand. Had I known about your plans for noon, I wouldn't have intruded."

Vespera felt a surge of irritation that nearly made her chuckle. "You two playing the role of my parents didn't even let me know beforehand."

She simply smiled and held her tongue, knowing silence was the best response.

Dominic chimed in again, "It wasn’t Ms. Gildon's doing. I decided at the last moment to bring her along."

His usually stern eyes softened as they met Vespera's. "Ms. Gildon, please join me."

Nancy glared at Dominic with intense bitterness as she thought, "Did he truly have to go out of his way to wound her like this?"

Dominic didn't even spare her a glance. The tension in the air was palpable. Vespera couldn't bear the somber atmosphere of shared pain any longer.

She softly cleared her throat, rose from her seat, and addressed Nancy, "Ms. Acosta, since it's not possible today, let's arrange for another day."

Samuel had recently promoted her to the role of executive administrative assistant. Nancy transitioned from her position as general manager at the branch company to become Samuel's executive administrative assistant.

Despite years of hard work and coming from a modest background, she realized that in the eyes of the wealthy, she was merely a piece in their ongoing game. Her role was determined by others. To make matters worse, she had been manipulated by the assistant manager at the branch company.

For anyone else, avoiding demotion would have sufficed, but she still had the chance to return to the head office with flair. There was no avoiding it. After all, Fawn was her godmother.

"Alright, let's do it tomorrow then," Nancy agreed, taking the chance to retreat.

She understood that the circumstances were not on her side. They left the office together.
