As Dominic spoke, his gaze drifted down to Vespera's lips. His eyes, usually cool and unreadable, now seemed to hold something entirely different. They were full of temptation and charm.
Vespera's face instantly turned crimson. They were literally having dinner right now, and everyone was watching. What kind of behavior was that? Couldn't Dominic tone it down for a while?
Gerard, who was caught squarely in the line of fire of Dominic's gaze, was too terrified to even lift his head.
Vespera let out a forced cough and swatted Dominic's hand away from her face. She said, "It was an accident. My bad."
Vespera promptly turned back to eat her drumstick. Meanwhile, Dominic smiled and set his napkin down. He replied, "It's fine. It isn't the first time you have bitten the wrong spot anyway."
Vespera, Gerard, and Raymond were all stunned. The drumstick slipped from Vespera's hand, and she had the urge to hide her face with a plate. What Dominic said was enough to send Vespera's brain spiraling.
Even Raymond looked slightly red in the face. He didn't expect Dominic to act this way. Meanwhile, Gerard looked like he was in physical pain. This was why one shouldn't let someone try something new. They would go feral!
Before dating, Dominic was cold and aloof. After dating, he became a top escort!
…
Dinner finally ended. Vespera bolted from the table like she was escaping. She didn't even want to think about what kind of image she must have left behind.
If she tried to explain to everyone that she was the one being seduced the whole time, that Dominic had always been like this, and she just happened to flip the right switch, would anyone even believe her?
Back in her apartment, she unpacked her suitcase and tossed laundry in the wash. Then, she did a quick tidy-up and headed straight for the bath.
The past few days had drained Vespera completely. As she soaked in the bathtub, she gave Rebecca and her parents a call to let them know she had arrived home safely.
