Raymond added, "There really wasn't anything between them, but Ms. Acosta insisted that Mr. Dominic treated her differently and that he had feelings for her.
"Honestly, from what I saw, Mr. Dominic was equally kind to both Mr. Harry and Ms. Acosta. And to avoid any misunderstandings, Mr. Dominic kept a straight face around Ms. Acosta all the time. He didn't even dare to crack a smile."
Vespera listened, completely absorbed. Raymond told the story so detailed that she could practically see the drama playing out like a movie.
To sum it up, Nancy originally flirted with Harry, but once they got to Regalia, she suddenly shifted her attention to Dominic. After Dominic rejected her, she lost her grip. Harry had a breakdown, and Dominic got stuck between the two.
Calling it rough for Dominic didn't even come close. He had been tossed between two emotionally unstable teenagers.
Vespera asked, "So, does Mr. Harry still like Nancy?"
Gerard answered, "Mr. Harry went off to college in Isloria, and Ms. Acosta stayed behind in Regalia. They barely kept in touch.
"I remember last Valentine's Day, they both returned. He was calm, but they didn't really talk. I heard that he has a girlfriend overseas now. I guess all the teenage drama is just a distant memory."
Vespera nodded and said, "That's probably for the best."
Vespera had only ever read about these coming-of-age disasters in novels, so it was the first time she heard it firsthand from someone who actually lived through it.
Just then, Gerard came running in. He glanced at the seafood chowder and steak with cherry sauce, then swallowed hard. He asked, "Mr. Chandler, when are we eating? Is the food ready yet?"
Raymond smiled and answered, "There are two more dishes. I'm almost done."
Eventually, dinner was served. Vespera and the others gathered at the table. At this time, Dominic finally stepped out of the room. He had just taken a shower. While Dominic was showering, all of them only thought about eating.
Dominic took his seat and said, "Let's eat."
