Drunk and Daring I Kissed a Tycoon novel Chapter 478

Dominic's eyes had just drifted back to his computer screen when they flicked up again, landing on Vespera. He chuckled and said, "Ms. Gildon, this is the first time you've waited for me to get off work."

Vespera took a seat on the couch and wondered who would wait around just to go home with their boss?

She had already gotten off work and just mentally switched him out of the professional mode and into personal mode.

"Mr. Reid, stop chatting with me and finish your work," said Vespera.

Dominic laughed and answered, "You're right. My efficiency clearly needs work."

Vespera didn't know what to say. She gave up trying to respond. She put on her earphones and started scrolling through her phone.

What she didn't realize was that lounging in the president's office and openly playing on her phone was something only she could get away with.

Dominic returned his attention to his screen. He wrapped things up quickly and turned off his computer. Then, he got up and walked over to Vespera, who had her back facing him.

She was fully immersed in watching videos. He bent down and pulled one earphone out. He said, "Let's go."

One ear was blasting cheerful music, while the other caught the low hum of his voice. A chill ran down her spine. She turned on reflex, and their faces almost brushed one another, like they were about to kiss.

Just then, Gerard knocked on the door and walked in. Before getting off work, he would always ask beforehand. Sometimes, Dominic would want to work overtime and delay getting off work a couple of hours.

Usually, Gerard and Dominic were the only ones left in the office at this time. So, Gerard had gotten used to knocking and walking straight in. But today? He stepped inside and caught a glimpse of Dominic and Vespera. He froze immediately and gasped.

Dominic looked toward the door. Just as he turned, Gerard panicked and dropped his gaze, fumbling around in his pockets. With a frown, he turned to leave while mumbling, "Where are the car keys? Why are they gone?"

And Gerard fled the scene. Upon seeing that, Vespera was rendered speechless. The car keys weren't even with Gerard. They were sitting right there on Dominic's desk. Dominic had tossed them there himself when he got back earlier.

Even though it was already 6:30 pm, the sun still blazed across the sky, painting it in hues of orange and gold.

On the way home, Dominic was behind the wheel, while Vespera sat in the passenger seat. She was thinking about going home the next day to drop off the souvenirs she had brought back from Londarion for her parents. She could sit down with Wanda again and clear the air.

Anyway, lying wouldn't work forever.

While Vespera was lost in thought, her phone rang. It was another text message. After the picture last night, even the notification sound felt ominous.

Dominic noticed and instinctively eased off the gas. He cast a glance her way and asked, "Do you want me to check it?"

Vespera responded, "No, I've got it."

She wasn't so traumatized that she couldn't even look at her own phone. But this time, she was careful. She wasn't going to tap blindly. Instead, she checked the sender first before clicking in.
