Drunk and Daring I Kissed a Tycoon novel Chapter 408

"Mr. Reid, where are you going in the evening? Can't you take Vespera with you?" Calvert asked from the front.

Evening was supposed to be when couples went on dates, wasn't it? Shouldn't the two be heading out together?

Vespera immediately shot Calvert a sharp look and said, "Calvert, don't be ridiculous. I'm sure Mr. Reid has his reasons. He's meeting someone important. Obviously, it's a private matter."

Dominic went quiet for a few seconds. Then, he said, "Ms. Gildon is right. It's a very important meeting. It's not the kind of thing you bring someone else to."

Without thinking, Vespera muttered under her breath, "It's not that I wanted to go anyway."

Calvert froze. On the other hand, Gerard, sitting in the passenger seat, lowered his head and was suddenly invested in whatever was on his tablet.

Dominic closed his eyes to rest, while Vespera turned to stare out the window.

Gerard thought, "They really aren't on speaking terms, huh?"

Meanwhile, Calvert thought, "What should I do? Why aren't they making up already?"

When they arrived at the branch office, the cold atmosphere eased for the time being. The employees from the headquarters and the executives from the branch office were already waiting outside. As Dominic stepped out of the car, a crowd immediately formed around him.

After a brief walkthrough of the office, they headed to the meeting room for the performance reports from the general manager and department heads. It was the kind of routine meeting that felt more like a lullaby.

Two hours passed in a blur of formality. In the afternoon, Dominic took Vespera and Gerard to a business summit. The rest of the employees from the headquarters stayed behind to manage matters with the branch office.

Once Vespera was in work mode, she snapped right back into her professional persona. Everything Dominic requested, she delivered on the spot. She even anticipated his needs before he had to say a word.

Even in a room full of big shots' secretaries and assistants, no one came close to her professionalism. Since everything was taken care of by her, Gerard could even doze off comfortably.

Gerard thought that they had finally made up, but he was dead wrong. They were too good at acting.
