Selah, noticing Lindsey's reaction, tilted her head and let out a light laugh.
"Is that your boyfriend calling?" Quick to find a private spot, Lindsey hurried away, juggling her tumultuous feelings, and took the call.
"Lindsey, well done.
I had no doubts about your victory.
" Domenic's voice was deep and soothing, causing Lindsey's cheeks to flush.
"Did you call just to say that?" Lindsey's lips curled in a slight pout as she inquired.
After a brief pause, Domenic said, "I wanted to know, are you available this evening? There's a lovely spot I know that serves your beloved caviar and French foie gras.
After the meal, how about we shop at the mall? Pick anything you want.
Consider it a victory present.
" Domenic made no reference to their previous encounter.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWas he trying to smooth things over with dinner and a present? Not a chance! Lindsey's response was laced with irritation.
"Sorry, I can't.
Mr.
Lopez is throwing a celebration party tonight.
I'm supposed to be there.
" Domenic fell silent.
"Alright.
Take care.
If you need anything, just call me.
If it gets too late, I can give you a ride.
" "No need.
I've been staying at Nancy's place.
I can get back on my own!" Lindsey ended the call, leaving the line dead.
It was unheard of to just hang up on Domenic, and she was the first to do so.
Domenic massaged his forehead in frustration, feeling stuck.
He was a titan in the business world, yet romance was new territory for him.
Lindsey was his first real love interest.
He hadn't even had a woman as a friend before her.
He had been studying books on romance, trying to figure out what makes a woman happy, but the practice was proving difficult.
An idea struck Domenic.
He reached for his phone again and called Arturo.
"You mentioned a gathering with Mercer last time.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI'm actually free tonight.
" "Sure, let's meet at Champs Le Bar at 8 PM," Arturo replied.
Lindsey, for her part, wasn't trying to snub Domenic intentionally, but his obliviousness to his previous actions, following her, was irritating.
She just wanted an honest explanation and an apology, om something Domenic surely knew but chose to ignore. This thought only fueled Lindsey's anger.
During her call, Selah had slipped away to change.
Ruby, who had been busy with a crowd, noticed Lindsey lostin M thought near the stage and approached her with a warm smile. "Lindsey, what's on your mind?" Snapped back to reality, Lindsey quickly took Ruby's arm.
"Ms.
Garcia, what brings you here out of the blue?" Ruby's eyes were full of care.
"I cto make sure you and Selah weren't being pushed around.
Am I not welcome?" Lindsey rushed to reassure her, "No, we're honored by your presence!
