Drunk and Daring I Kissed a Tycoon novel Chapter 422

Not only would it be useless, but Gerard would probably get yelled at too. He could already picture Dominic lashing out with venom. And of course, none of that venom would be aimed at Vespera or Calvert. Every bit of it would land squarely on him.

He adjusted his suit and leaned against the car window.

Noticing how dazed Gerard looked, Calvert asked, "Gerard, are you alright? Are you low on sugar?"

Without waiting for an answer, Calvert unwrapped a piece of candy and popped it into Gerard's mouth. He added, "Here. I have more if you need it."

Gerard sighed again. In the backseat, Vespera sighed as well. Her thoughts had already drifted to Dominic. Where could he be right now?

Evelyn leaned in and rested her head on Vespera's shoulder. She said, "Don't worry, Vera. Vance is with him the entire time. Nothing is going to happen."

At that, Vespera stiffened. Vance was with Dominic the entire time? That made her even more anxious. Still, she had to admit that Vance was useful because his father was the duke and had a high status. If tagging along meant keeping Dominic safe, Vespera could live with it.

Evelyn's fingers lightly brushed along the curve of Vespera's neck, her gaze inadvertently passed by the latter's chest. She said, "Your skin is so smooth."

Vespera wasn't in the mood to talk about beauty and skincare. She said absently, "Yours is nice too."

With a smile, Evelyn answered, "Thank you."

Then, she yawned and closed her eyes. "I'm sleepy. I'm going to nap here for a while."

Vespera responded, "Alright."

She stared out the window, thoughts tangled like knots.

About 20 minutes later, the car pulled up in front of a hotel. Vespera gently nudged Evelyn awake.

The two men led them through the building and into an elevator. It went straight up to the rooftop where a helicopter waited, blades already spinning. Their hair whipped around, and jackets flapped.

"This way," said the man, who sat in the passenger seat moments ago. Meanwhile, the driver stood by the helicopter's open door.

Vespera and the others hopped into the helicopter. As soon as they were buckled in, they were told to turn off their phones and put on blindfolds.

Calvert was displeased, but Vespera gave him a look and whispered, "We need to follow their rules. If we don't cooperate, we don't get in. And if we don't get in, how are we supposed to protect Mr. Reid?"

Upon hearing that, Calvert did as he was told. Vespera slipped her blindfold on, deliberately leaving the strap loose enough to allow a narrow gap beneath her eyelashes. Her head was small, so it looked snug from the outside, and no one noticed.
