He explained that the bacon was hits secret recipe, something you couldn't find anywhere else. The vegetables in the salad were grown in the Reid family orchard, and he had picked them at 600am that moning. Every fruit used for the juice was freshly picked...

"I really wish I had a builer like Mr. Chandler, Vespera said, consumed with envy.

"As long as you dare to gram, you can have it. Dominic said casually.

Chapter 145 Vespera wondered if Dominic was mocking her for daydreaming.

Raymond, standing nearby, smiled even wider.

After breakfast, Raymond drove them to the airport. Their destination was Itavendale.

Dominic and Vespera took a flight to Ravendale and then traveled by car to the resort The resort was located deep in the mountains of Ravendale, surrounded by a ring of peaks and isolated from civilization. It had been transformed into a boxurious and mysterious sanctuary, hidden from the world.

With a total investment of over 23 billion, Tavian Group held a 60% stake. Aldridge Corp., which was run by Jordan, owned the remaining 40%.

Vespera had only been to Ravendale once or twice. Her impression of it was that it had beautiful landscapes and excellent air quality.

As the car drove through the bustling city, the scenery gradually opened up. The sly grew vast, and the clouds seemed endless. Vespera gazed out at the cotton- like clouds, her body relaxing and her eyelids growing heavy She leaned against the window, and before she lose it, she dozed off.

Dominic gently supported her head and moved it toward him.

The driver was nearly in shock.

They continued driving for what felt like an eternity.

Finally, the car entered the mountains, Vespera stined awake. The first thing she saw was the view outside the window: a mist swirling around the trees.

It felt as though she had stepped into another realm, lost in its ethereal beauty.

It was truly breathtaking.

a lush, dense forest of mountains, with distant peaks resembling a fairyland and She sighed inwardly, marveling at the view, and shifted her shoulders into a more comfortable position.

As she moved, she suddenly realized that something telt ott.

What land of high-quality seat would be so warm and fragrant? It was also bouncy and perfectly soft yet firm! She slowly tumed her head, and her eyes landed on a white shirt. Loolding up, she saw a neck and an Adam's apple. Her heart dropped into her stomach.

"Finally awake?" A warm breath brushed over her head, lightly stirring her cheek like a feather "Yes," Vespera munnared, pretending to be calm as she sat up from his embrace.

She brushed her hair while talking to herself, "Ah, how did I fall asleep? It must have been because Rebecca hadwatch a horror movie last night, and I didn't sleep well he tried to downplay the shocking reality that she had been sleeping in her boss's arms, Dominic, with a lusowing smile, replied, "Ah, I see. No wonder you insisted on crawl into my ans earlier. It must be the aftermath of the horror movie." Vespera's eyes widened in disbelief. The driver, too, was stunned.

Vespera's mind repeatedly blared the phrase "insisted on crawling into my arms".

She'd insisted on crawling into his arms! She couldn't believe it! She quickly glanced at the driver.

Colocidentally, the driver had been loolding in the rearview mor. When their eyes met, Vespera silently sought confirmation The driver, caught off guard, flinched. He suppressed his guilt and muttered a sout "yes." Vespera was stunned by his respouse, her mind going blank. It took her a while to gather the courage to Lace Dominic.

Her voice, leavy and almost magic, said, "Mr. Beid, it thus happens again, you should immediately pushaway. You can shakeawake or even slapawake! To be fair, she was certainly in the wrong, but didn't he have any responsibility? He could have taken action! Why did he let her sleep in his arms? Dominic replied with an expression of calm understanding, "I don't large a habit of abusing my subiondinates." The dover nearly choked, thinking, "Oh my god! I can't believe this! Mr. Reid, you literally pulled Ms. ildon into your ans just now!" Vespiera pursed her lips and remained silent- blie couldn't exactly say, "Mr. Reid, please abuse me. I like it..." It would sound abound and inappropriate Sheramed to the front. It was probably best to remain silent The cat fell into a heavy silence This quietness lasted until they entered the resort.

Chapter 146 The car continued to ascend the mountain, winding higher and deeper into the heart of the range. Although they had ventured deep into the mountains, the road was still well-maintained.

was thoughtfully To make the most of the breathtaking views, a road had been painstakingly carved through the nigged terrain. Moreover, the Infrastructure was t designed to blend in with the serene surroundings On either side of the road, antique-style bronze streetlamps stood out, adding a touch of charm, in the evening or early morning, when the mist began to rise, the warm glow from the lamps made it all the more magical.

In winter, when snow blanketed the ground, the scene resembled a fairy-tale world.

The car finally cto a stop in front of the main building of a villa within the resort area.

A group of people had already gathered to welcthem. It consisted of the project manager, the overall project supervisor, and the project team Dominic and Vespera stepped out of the car.

"Mr. Reid, welcome! We're honored to have you here to oversee the progress," said the project manager as he approached them.

The overall project supervisor followed closely behind.

Since the resort was managed by Tavian Group, the project manager was from Tavian Group. Meanwhile, the overall project supervisor had been jointly selected by both Tavian group and Aldridge Corp.

Dominic greeted them, then walked toward the building. The group of people followed behind. Inside, Vespera exchanged brief introductions with the resort's team.

The project manager's nwas Sherwin Fletcher, while the overall project supervisor's nwas Ron Hadley.

It was 12:40 pm. A lavish banquet had been prepared in the banquet hall of the main building.

Dominic was led to the hall.

Much of the tduring the meal was spent with people fawning over him.

The resort's staff wasn't yet familiar with Dominic's usual style, but they use from previous visits that jordan and Alex had greatly appreciated this kind of treatment.

After the meal, Sherwin took Dominic and Vespera to their accommodation for the night Sitting in the sightseeing bus taking them to the villa area, Sherwin informed Dominic that Jordan had arrived the previous attemoon, bringing along quite a few people "He said they were all important figures from various fields, and he invited them as part of a 'trial run. "Where are they now? Dominic asked, his brow furrowing slightly.

Sherwin, noticing the displeasure in his voice, boldly said, "They're occupying the villas by the lake. They partied all night. I imagine that they are all fast asleep now, having been worn out, "Out of the people Mr. Aldridge invited, en were women, Last night, they had a party in the big villa where Mr. Aldridge is staying. When the housekeeping stati went in this morning, they found a mess of used condoms everywhere." Dominic and Vespera were at a loss for words.

After a brief t pause, Vespera couldn't hold back and asked, "Does Mr. Aldridge's age allow him to hapalle such activities?" Shervin shrugged "Who knows? I didn't think it was my place to say something.

"Mr. Aldridge is an investor in the resort. If he wants to bring people here, what can I do?" Dominie's expression tuned serious and cold, and be narrower his eyes slightly. What on earth was jordan trying to pull? The sightseeing bus finally arrived at a villa with an ancient, elegant design, it exuded an otherworldly charm Mr. Reid, I've heard that you enjoy peace and quiet, so i specially arranged this place. What do you think?" Shigpwin asladi.

"Perfect "Dominic nodded in approval.

Sherwin took their luggage inside and then said, "Mr. Beid, please test this afternoon. I'll check to see it Mr. Aldridge and his group are awake. Once they're up, I'll join Mr. Hadley to show everyone around the resort The resort's inspection process would take at least forty days, but both Domande and jordan were only here for a brief, symbolic visit.

"You can haulle it from here," Dominic said initierently- Vespera smiled and told Sherwin, "Ma Fletcher, letknow once you've made the "Duderstood." Sherwin pulled out his phone "Ms sildon, may I have your number?" "Of course," Vespera replied with a simile.

Dominic's gaze turned colder when he noticed the barely concealed excitement on Sherwin's face.

(Chipie (142) Chapter 147 Vespera took out her phone and added Sherwin on WhatShe wore a gentle smile that contrasted with her striking beauty. It had a soothing effect on those who looked at her. Her cefreshing auta made her seem down-to- earth and easy to talk to Despite her captivating presence, those who truly knew her could sense the detachment within her.

"Ms. Gildan, you're as pretty as your profile picture." Sherwin was so mesmerized by her beauty that be momentarily forgot Dominic was there as well.

"Thank you" Vespera happily accepted the compliment.

Just as Sherwin was about to engage in small talk, a colid voice sent a shiver down his spine, bursting his bubble.

"Mt. Fletcher, aren't you busy?" Sherwin's chest tightened. He would have been a fool not to notice the displeasure in Dominic's tone.

Quickly, he put away his phone.

"Yes, I shall take my leave," he said hurriedly.

Then, he fled the scene at lightning speed.

Vespera put her phone away and turned to see Dominic's gloomy expression. His mood must have been affected by Jordan. Sherwin had just been unlucky enough to get caught in the crossfire.

"Mr. Reid, I'll take the luggage upstairs.

She picked them up and headed for the stairs.

A woody, fresh scent enveloped her, and the weight of the suitcase disappeared from her hands.

She tumed in shock to see him carrying her suitcase. The CEO was carrying his secretary's luggage-it almost felt as if their roles were reversed. appropriate conduct. Judging by her expression, he seemed to have read her mind.

"I've told you before, I don't enjoy abusing my employees," he said casually. Without waiting for a reply, he had gone up the stairs.

It wasn't She wondered if he treated every female employee with such care. In her mind, he was acting strangely because carrying a few suitcases was far from abuse.

Still, she didn't dwell on the thought and followed him upstairs.

The upper floor had a master bedroom, two guest rooms, and a study, Naturally, Dominic would stay in the master bedroom. She left her suitcase in one of the guest rooms before going to unpack his As she hung his clothes on the rack, she recalled the detailed list Gerard had sent her of Dominic's preferences, She had read it thoroughly, and i everything from his favorite food to has sense of style.

it covered Suddenly, a thought struck her. Gerard played the role of Dominic's wife more than anything. There was no difference between what he did and what a devoted spouse would do.

Memories from her past surfaced. She had once been someone's dedicated wife. No matter how exhausted she was from work, she would chand cook that bastard's favorite meal.

The fridge and pantry had always been stocked with his favorite drinks. Every sult in the closet had been ironed and paired with a tie.

She had made everything conventent for him. Ensuring that he could wake up, throw on any suit, and still look perfect, She had done such a perfect job that it had sent him straight into another woman's arms.

Love had made her blind, and the taste of betrayal had been bitter.

If love ever knoched on her door again, she would slam it slut without hesitation she would be toolish to ever trust a mun apabil "My Gildon, do you hate that shart so much?" Vespera snapped out of her thoughts. She looked down and realized she had been gripping his shit, wrinkling it in her hands. She hadn't even noticed him enter Tim really sorry She soothed the fabric with her palins, trying to straightendi - "as soinething bothering you?" The asked, handing her his coat.

She took it from him and hung it in in the closet the Chapter 148 Vespera brushed it off, unwilling to continue the conversation She wasn't used to opening up and held herself back, even when it was Rebecca Noticing that Dominic was still standing beside her without any intention of leaving, she tried to luck natural and turned to him.

"Are you taking anything else off?" The words slipped out before she could stop them. Her brain and tongue were completely out of sync.

The room fell into complete silence.

if pants.

Vespera's fare turned pale. She couldn't believe what she had just sail, especially since Dominic was already down to his dress shirt and suit There was nothing else for him to take off.

At that moment, she would have rather slammed her head against the wall than explain that she had meant to ask if he needed anything else.

She had no intention of suggesting he take oft more clothing. As her mind scrambled for a way to recover, he broke the silence. "No, thank you I wouldn't want to catch a cold," he replied eamestly.

Before leaving the room, he glanced at her with a mixed XXpression m Vespera's stomach twisted. The look on his face was impossible to read, but the thought that he might see her as a perverted secretary who wanted him to undress (was unbearable Worse, he might think of himself as too righteous to comply Gripping the closet door, she wished she could disappear.

Quickly, she finished hanging his clothes, ironed the shirt, and left his room without looking back.

This incident proved she needed to stay focused at work Back in her room, she tooka moment to recover from the shock. Once she calmed down, she started unpacking.

An hour later, a message from Sherwin popped up in her phone: "Ms. Gildon, Mr. Aldridge is awake. He wanted to inform you that it's getting late, and the tour will be held tomorrow instead. Apart from that, he extends a wine- tasting invitation to Mr. Reid at his villa tonight.

She scoffed at the message, realizing this was likely an excuse to entertain Dominic with the ten beautiful women he had brought along. "Alright, F'll let him know." She got up and headed to the master bedroom, Knocking twice on the door, she received no response.

He was probably taking an afternoon nap. Then again, he could be in the shower, getting changed, or even on a video call with a pretty boy.

She decided it wasn't urgent now that the tour had been rescheduled, so she left.

Another hour passed before Sherwin sent another message.

"Mr. Aldridge wares to confirm if Mr. Reid is coming over. He also said that if he doesn't want to leave his room, he could bring his start and cover instead. What a sly old mat Vesperachuckled at Sherwings remark "Mr. Krid is asleep, so I haven't had the chance to ask him yet. Have Mc. Aldige wait a bit longer, and I'll get him an answer."

Whenever they had to relay messages between higher ups, they had to be on their toes. A small mistake could end their career. Understanding the sentiment behind his emoji, vespeta sent back a consolling smiley Lace.

She put away her phone and loved on Dominic's door again. This time, le tespanded After receiving permission, she stepped inside. He stood by the window with his back to her, seemingly absorbed in the view outside.

His bed was perfectly neat, untouched hustead of his eatles attire, he was now diessed in beige gisy loungewear.

Dominic let out a light chockle "That's quite alright. Let's leave him hanging.

He glanced at the watch on his wrist.
