NovelEnglishChapter 488
Vespera took a deep breath. Dominic wanted to ctoo? It felt like a swarm of ants was crawling under her
skin.
Nevertheless, years of practice allowed her to keep her expression calm. She acted surprised for a moment
before saying, "Mr. Reid, there's really no need for you to go personally. It's just a small issue. Calvert and | can
handle it just fine. There's no need to make it a whole event."
Dominic gave her an unreadable smile and said, "No matter how small the issue, it should be taken seriously."
Vespera's face twitched slightly. Before she could cup with a response, Dominic had already slung an arm
around her and cradled Snowball in the other, pulling her back indoors.
Vespera's mind was spinning. What should she do now? Should she just confess to Dominic? Why was she even
thinking of it as confessing? It wasn't like she had done anything wrong. She just didn't want to make things
more complicated than they already were.
If Dominic figured out that Vespera was the one Fawn had been searching for, he would probably be overjoyed.
He might even drag her back to the Reid residence tomorrow.
A coincidence at the ball, another one at the mall today... It would look completely orchestrated!
Dominic set Snowball in its bed, then grabbed the car keys and left the apartment with Vespera.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn the elevator, Vespera was practically sweating bullets. Suddenly, she clutched her stomach and let out a gasp.
"What's wrong?" Dominic asked, catching Vespera. His eyes dropped to her hands. "Do you have a
stomachache?"
"Yeah," answered Vespera with a nod. "It hitout of nowhere. You should go ahead, Mr. Reid. | really need to
use the bathroom."
Dominic pressed the button for the 13th floor and said, "It's fine. You matter more."
He wrapped an arm around Vespera's waist, letting her rest on him. Then, he rested his palm on her abdomen.
He asked, "What did you eat?"
Vespera forced a laugh and replied, "Barbecue."
She noticed that his phone never rang, which meant that Natasha hadn't texted him. Then, she remembered
that Rebecca's house was 15 minutes nearer to the mall.
The surveillance footage should be
from the surveillance cameras inside the luxury jewelry store. If Rebecca could get there before them and wipe
the footage clean, Vespera might still have tto deal with the mall's main surveillance room herself when she
went over with Dominic and Calvert. s
It was going to be close, but maybe it was doable.
Vespera and Dominic arrived on the 13th floor, and he helped her to the bathroom.
Still keeping up the act, Vespera pushed Dominic weakly and said, "You should go on ahead. I'll be fine."
Dominic caressed her cheek and asked, "What if you pass out in there? I'll have Raymond bring smedicine."
With that, he turned and walked away.
Vespera quickly pulled out her phone
and typed out a message to Rebecca She had just typed out a sentence when the bathroom door swung open.
Dominic had returned. She widened her eyes and quickly deleted the words she had just typed.
s
"Why are you still using your phone when you have a stomachache?" Dominic
questioned before plucking the phone from her hand.
Vespera tried to grab it back. She blurted, "Give it back..."
Dominic tucked the phone into his pocket and helped Vespera to the toilet bowl. "Focus. You should get rid of this
habit of yours. You shouldn't use your phone when you're using the bathroom." s
Vespera was rendered speechless. After that, Dominic left again. Another plan down the drain. A while later, she
stepped out.
Dominic was waiting for her right outside. The moment he saw her, he cforward and supported her. He
asked, "Do you feel weak? Raymond brought smedicine."
Vespera responded, "I'm fine. There's no need for it."
Then, she asked, "Where's my phone?"
Dominic didn't take out the phone. Instead, he said, "Go and lie down. You aren't allowed to use your phone. I'm
not going to the mall either. Calvert can handle it alone."
Vespera muttered after a while, "Let's go to the mall."
