Drunk and Daring I Kissed a Tycoon novel Chapter 368

Nancy approached with a cheerful demeanor, completely different from her mood at noon.

"Mr. Reid Senior asked me to give you something," she said.

Vespera responded, "I understand."

Nancy then asked, "How much did your dress cost? I'll send you the money right now."

Vespera insisted, "No need to be so formal. It was just six thousand dollars."

Nancy fiddled with her phone for a moment before saying, "Since I was the one who ruined it, I must reimburse you. I've just transferred the money."

Vespera exchanged some courteous remarks and accepted the payment. She had exaggerated the dress's cost by 50%, accounting for the emotional distress caused by being "attacked" by another woman.

"I'll also be joining the business trip on Saturday," Nancy stated, turning off her phone and looking at Vespera with a touch of pride.

"Mr. Reid invited me to come along."

Vespera replied, "Alright, I'll go along with Mr. Reid's plans."

Nancy couldn't convince herself to be unaffected and thought, "He's like this. Even though he seems distant, deep down he really cares about me."

Vespera responded, "Well, that's reassuring. It's a positive thing."

Nancy remained silent, realizing how good Vespera was at pretending. Since her words didn't provoke a reaction, Nancy switched topics.

"Let's have lunch together tomorrow, and help me shop for clothes. Fawn is taking me to a banquet the day after tomorrow."

Vespera agreed, "No problem."

"Perfect," Gerard responded, visibly relieved.

He gathered his belongings and left first. When Dominic emerged from the office and saw only Vespera, he grinned and playfully pinched her nose. "You're starting to act more and more like the boss's wife."

Vespera gave a sheepish smile. "Please, don't tease me. I'm just looking out for a colleague."

Internally, she reminded herself not to make decisions alone next time. Dominic's expression showed a slight frown. Together, they returned to the apartment.

As soon as they stepped inside, Dominic moved closer and asked, "Can I skip sleeping on the couch tonight? My back is sore after just one night on it."

Vespera gazed at his attractive face and kissed his lips, which had grown even more irresistible after so many kisses. With such a charming person showing interest in her, why would she say no? Opportunities for happiness were becoming rarer.

Her bag fell to the floor as she wrapped her arms around his neck. She stood on her toes, and brushed her lips against his neck, whispering, "How about we shower together?"
