Drunk and Daring I Kissed a Tycoon novel Chapter 142

Still fuming, she left Dominic’s office. When she got to the restroom and saw herself in the minor, her tace was so red it looked like she had downed several shots of Liquor. 

Dominic was so unbelievably petty! just because she accidentally sent the wrong message and made him think he was being teased, did he really have to get back at 

her like this? 

In the meeting that started at 10:30 am, Vespera only handled the minutes. 

It was Gerard who had sent out the notices, prepared the documents for serdor management, and managed all the logistics. 

It was Vespera’s first day, and considering how early the meeting was and she wasn’t familiar with what was going to be discussed, Gerard figured making coffee was good way for her to ease in. It was meant to be thoughtful 

At noon, there was a lunch appointment. 

The host was a major real estate developer. Tavian Group had been involved in property for years, and the two companies had recently teamed up on a resort 

project 

The contract had been signed before Dominic officially took over the company, 

The developer was an old friend of Dominic’s father–more like an uncle, really. So, when he reached out, Dominic readily agreed. 

The lunch had originally been scheduled days ago, but got postponed due to Dominic’s injury. 

Luminic arrived at the restaŭrant with Vespera and Gerard. 

The moment they stepped into the private dining room, Vespera realized this was no simple lunclu 

Besides Jordan Aldrige and his secretary Serena Cross, the vice president of Tarian Coup–Alex Smith was also there. So were Luke and Austin 

So, Jordan was here today to inediate. 

Dominic took a seat, his demeanorcold and distant; Meanwidle, Vespera war wonted that Luke would cause a scene. 

The second Luke saw Vespera, his expression darkened. His gaze locked nacher like a preslator stalking prey. 

this was how she acted now? sticking close to Dominic in public, not even bothering to keep up appearances? 

The others in the room also gave Vespera speculative glances 

Stur knew exactly what they were thundng, but Dominic had taught herwell. When one didn’t do anything wrong, one didn’t need to explain oneself. They could think whatever they wanted 

she couldn’t embarrass Duminic 

Vespera and Gerard took their seats. 

Before arriving, Gerard had wamed her that jordan loved pissuing people to dink. They needed to ready to intercept. 

“Come on, let’s pour a drink for i Mr. Held He’s late, so he owes us a glass!” 

Sure enough, Jardan jamped straight into the usual drinking tubs the moment they sat down 

Serena immediately stood up and filled Doininie’s glass to the bilin

Vespera immediately stood up. With a smile, she lifted the glass of wine in front of her. “Mr. Reid has a cold and can’t drink, I’ll drink on his behalf.” 

Just as the glass was about to touch her lips, a hand reached over and took it from her “There’s no need. Sit down” 

Though his voice was calm and detached, there was an unmistakable note of protectiveness in it. 

Dome set the glass back on the table. 

The private mem instantly fell silent. 

Luke’s grip on his own glass tightened as if he might crush it in his hand, 

The others had varying expressions–sense curious, some with faint frowns, and some pretending not to notice anything at all. 

Vespera sat back down, a little dazed. She hadn’t yet figured out what Dominic’s Intentions were. But knowing him, there was probably a deeper meaning behind 

his actions. 

Her job was simply to cooperate.
