Sorry for Your Loss, It's Me, I'm the Loss novel Chapter 607

Thomas’ cousin, Dominic Taylor, had come to hang out with a few of his friends.

Dominic was the same age as Bennett, just a few months younger. He was a smooth talker and always greeted Bennett with a cheerful "Ben."

"Ben, is this your girlfriend?" Dominic asked, subtly sizing up Yvonne.

Yvonne offered Dominic a polite smile but didn't say anything.

Bennett exchanged a few pleasantries with Dominic and then paid him no further mind.

Dominic was sharp enough to take the hint. He politely asked if they wanted to join his group, and after Bennett declined, he tactfully excused himself.

Dominic returned to his tent, where his usual gang was waiting.

"Where'd you go? A few beauties over here were waiting for you," one of Dominic's childhood friends said, draping an arm around his shoulders.

Dominic, busy texting on his phone, impatiently shrugged him off.

"Don't bother me, can't you see I'm texting?"

"Who are you texting? Flirting with some girl? There are so many pretty girls here tonight, and you're not even looking. What's so interesting on your phone?" his friend pressed.

"Get lost. I'm texting my cousin. Stop bugging me," Dominic said, giving his friend a light kick before looking back at his phone.

He sent two quick messages to Thomas.

Dominic: The summit's buzzing tonight. All the young heirs are here, but you're missing. Kind of a buzzkill.

Dominic: Ben's here too, believe it or not. Brought a gorgeous girl with him. Must be his new flame. She's a real stunner.

After a long pause, Thomas replied with a single word: Hmm.

This time, Thomas replied, but he couldn't even be bothered to type a word, sending only a 'bye' sticker.

Dominic slipped his phone into his jacket pocket and turned back to his friend.

His friend said, "Ms. Bishop just came by, wants us to go hang out."

Dominic scoffed, "No way. Who wants to hang with them? They're not even that good-looking, and they play way too hard."

"Alright, fine. I brought a few girls myself. A popular starlet, some young models, and a couple of fresh faces, new to the scene."

The friend slung his arm around Dominic's shoulder, and the two of them left the tent to party with the girls.

Next to their tent was the one belonging to the James family.

Caroline was introverted and disliked socializing, so she wasn't keen on this kind of event. But Mr. James Sr., knowing that the scions of all the major families would be there and that both Caroline and Letitia were still single, hadn't given up on the idea of saving the James family through a strategic marriage.
