Drunk and Daring I Kissed a Tycoon novel Chapter 483

"Why are you so quiet?" Dominic asked.

Vespera replied, "I'm just a little surprised."

Dominic said, "Don't be. You'll understand soon enough."

With that, Dominic entered his office. Vespera lingered in place and thought about it. A few possibilities flickered through her mind, but none seemed to land with certainty.

Just then, Gerard walked over from his office and called Vespera. Snapping out of her thoughts, she looked at him and immediately remembered the scene from yesterday. Feeling guilty, she apologized, "I'm sorry about yesterday. Are you mad?"

Gerard was confused. He responded, "Why would I be mad? If anything, I should be thanking you. I didn't have to drive yesterday, and this morning, Mr. Chandler told me I didn't need to go to the penthouse. It has been blissful."

Vespera was rendered speechless. Gerard added, "If you get the chance, can you ask Mr. Reid if you two will be commuting together from now on? I just want to make sure I'm not a third wheel."

Vespera didn't know what to say. A long while later, she finally muttered, "You should ask him yourself."

Then, Vespera turned and walked straight into her office, leaving Gerard behind. Honestly, she hadn't expected him to act this way. She had figured he might be in a dilemma. But now, she couldn't help laughing to herself. It was kind of funny.

…

Later that afternoon, Rebecca gave Vespera a call. Last night, Vespera had randomly used Rebecca as an excuse, claiming that Rebecca wanted to go to a broth-and-grill spot.

Now, Rebecca was calling to make that fake plan a reality. However, it wasn't a broth-and-grill. It was a barbecue.

Vespera had been planning to catch up with Rebecca anyway. Ever since Vespera returned, they hadn't had a proper chat.

Before confirming, Vespera gave Dominic a call to check if he would be working late. Once she knew he wasn't, she accepted Rebecca's invitation.

After work, Vespera headed out first. Gerard, who had just started savoring his freedom, had already made dinner plans, only to be yanked back to reality by a call from Dominic. His peace only lasted for a short while.

…

On the other hand, Vespera rushed to the barbecue restaurant to meet up with Rebecca. The two chatted while eating.

"I see," said Rebecca with a sigh. She picked up her cutlery to get some meat, only to freeze when she looked down at the grill. "Where did all the meat go?"

…

After dinner, Vespera and Rebecca decided to walk around the mall to digest, as the restaurant they had gone to was on the highest floor of the mall.

As they passed a luxury jewelry store, Rebecca slowed to a stop. She said, "My mom's birthday is coming up. I want to buy her a bracelet."

"Let's check it out then," said Vespera, and they stepped inside together.

The two stood in front of a glass display case, browsing through the selection. While they were still choosing a design, several employees began whispering and glancing toward the entrance.

At this time, three people walked in. They were Fawn, Natasha, and Harry, who looked like he had been forcefully dragged here. Natasha had previously ordered a custom jewelry set from this store and was here to pick it up.

Natasha had dragged her mother and brother along, especially since they had been holed up at home for a long time.
