Drunk and Daring I Kissed a Tycoon novel Chapter 373

Vespera's sleepiness vanished in an instant.

Honestly, she would've noticed the sounds before walking in if she hadn't been so mentally relaxed and half-dead with exhaustion.

Dominic and Nancy were standing on opposite sides of the bed.

Dominic's expression was ice cold, like he was ready to kill someone. Nancy looked like she'd just been deeply humiliated.

Vespera pressed her lips together.

She looked down at her toes. "I think… calm is the only thing I can be right now. Don't give me too much credit. And besides, this is your—"
