Kathy sensed a shift in Dominic's tone, prompting her to furrow her brow and scrutinize him intently. He inhaled deeply and turned away to conceal his emotions from her gaze. Despite feeling unsettled, Kathy managed to utter a reluctant "Yes."

Even as Dominic had anticipated her response, hearing Kathy confess it herself felt like a brutal revelation, as if his heart had been laid bare.

"So, all those times I called you while intoxicated and you came to fetch me, was there an ulterior motive?" Dominic queried.

Struggling for words, Kathy found herself speechless, grappling with an inner turmoil. In each instance, she could have declined, yet every time she found reasons to justify rescuing Dominic. Initially, it was due to his position as her superior. The subsequent times, however, lacked a clear rationale, leaving her hesitant to confront the truth.

"In every action, there lies an underlying intent," Kathy responded calmly, her words carrying a sense of resignation that didn't esca

    Should Dominic consider giving himself a raise due to his busy schedule? Over the next few days, Kathy was tirelessly working. At times, the lights in her office remained on late into the night, a detail that did not escape Dominic's notice. Despite his suggestion for her to rest at home, she declined.

Dominic allowed her to stay occupied to distract her from irrelevant matters. "Kathy, I've noticed the CEO's mood deteriorating recently. He doesn't even smile when you present your work. Have you two had another disagreement?" Abigail inquired with curiosity, her large eyes gleaming as they shared a meal.Kathy furrowed her brow and suppressed the words "It's not my place to say" that was on the tip of her tongue. Instead, she offered a helpless smile and remarked, "Just because he didn't smile at you, you think he h

    Kathy cast a subtle, ambiguous smile at Dominic before nodding graciously. Rising to his feet with a warm expression, Dominic offered Kathy the seat beside the window. Once settled, Kathy turned to Carissa who had a look of surprise on her face. "Miss Carissa, why are you still here? Would you care to join us for dinner?" Her invitation to Carissa was genuine and heartfelt, as the dinner with Dominic felt slightly awkward. Kathy had come to Downtown Bistro not for Dominic's company, but for the food and the assistance he offered her with work, culminating in the dinner invitation. With Carissa's presence, Dominic's attention was divided, allowing Kathy to enjoy her meal more comfortably.Despite Kathy's lingering disbelief that Dominic would suddenly be so kind as to help her with her work and invite her to dinner, her words unintentionally came across as provocative to Carissa and Dominic. "Dominic, I can't believe you brought Kathy to Downtown Bistro! This is where we always used

    The following morning, Kathy awoke before her alarm sounded. Previously, she only rose early when preoccupied with something, yet as she lay in bed, she felt bewildered. Was there an important event scheduled for today? After pondering and sifting through her recollections, Kathy recalled something out of the ordinary. She had agreed to carpool with Dominic today. It had been quite a while since they had commuted to work together following their falling out. However, was it truly something she was eagerly anticipating? Thoughts of Dominic's handsome visage, his calm yet profound voice, his slightly furrowed brow when upset, and how he had come to her aid the previous night flooded Kathy's mind. Her face flushed crimson, and in an impulse, she clutched her blanket, wrapping herself up tightly in it, curling into a ball."Kathy! You're behaving so embarrassingly! You must maintain control! Remember, Dominic has a manipulative side! His kindness is merely a facade!"After calming hersel

    Even though she knew that Abigail meant no harm, the way she affectionately called her "a little flower" seemed overly casual to Kathy.

Wilson's heart skipped a beat, his tone filled with excitement and joy that he tried to hide.Knowing that it was impossible between him and Kathy, and knowing that she had no interest in him, Wilson's heart still couldn't help but be stirred by her words."Didn't you mention it in your interview today?" Kathy asked."You watched my interview too?" Wilson couldn't help but laugh."They didn't change the channel all day," Dominic's cold voice came from beside Kathy, and then a handsome face that looked a lot like Wilson's was pressed against Kathy's cheek.This scene made Wilson's heart ache.Wilson forced a smile.

    "Auntie, don't worry, he won't dare to sue you." After making the phone call, Dominic walked into the living room, washed his hands in the kitchen, and then sat down at the table, picking up a piece of dough that had already been rolled out into a dumpling skin."Are you not going to wrap them?" Dominic noticed that he was the only one in the family with a relaxed expression, and curiously looked at the Thompson family's parents and Kathy.Kathy saw Dominic's relaxed expression and knew that he must have resolved the issue. "Will it cause any trouble for Wilson?""Are you worried about him?" Dominic instantly regretted calling Wilson.He thought that he could reassure the Thompson family's parents and make Kathy feel at ease, but this girl was worried about whether it would cause trouble for Wilson."No." Although Dominic repeatedly assured them that Wilson would not sue the Thompson family's parents over such a minor matter, Esme and Thompson's brows remained furrowed all night.Th

    "Hey, I know, I know, we can't just blurt it out like this. What if we attract some paparazzi?"

The big star!"Now, everyone in the room looked at the TV, their eyes filled with curiosity.CL TV was playing an interview video of Wilson."This is already the third time that Wilson has been invited by the Spring Festival Gala program group. Do you have anything to say to the audience friends in front of the TV?"Wilson smiled gracefully, suppressing the kind of unruly air he had when he was with Kathy and others in private.

    Kathy didn't expect this, "You, you've been sleeping for so many days, how did you suddenly...""To be honest, I haven't been sleeping well these past few nights. When you were sleeping, you really liked to move around..." Dominic hadn't finished speaking when Kathy felt her legs go numb and she unconsciously moved them.The quietness in the air was the most frightening.Kathy's mind went blank.It seemed like she accidentally touched something hard— His manhood!

    Kathy couldn't understand why Dominic was laughing so brightly at such a dangerous moment when they almost hit a dog. "Kathy, why do you look so pale?" Dominic turned his head and saw Kathy's worried face, as if she had just survived a disaster. Did what he said just now make her uncomfortable? Dominic was anxious and didn't know what was going on. "Kathy, if you mind, I won't say such things next time. Let's wait until we get married..." Dominic said. "Didn't you see the dog on the side of the road just now?" Kathy turned her head and looked at Dominic with an unkind expression. "I avoided it, didn't I?" Dominic felt wronged. Wasn't Kathy worried about the dog just now? "But why did you laugh so loudly after avoiding it? What if you hit it?" Kathy gave Dominic a white eye and turned her head to look out the window, giving Dominic a big slap on the back of his head. For no reason, Dominic smiled again with his mouth open. "Kathy, I'm really happy!" Kathy really didn't know what w

    "Mom, Dad, this is one of his business bank accounts, and it's also his account with the least amount of money." Thompson and Esme looked at it and were scared by the long string of numbers. Thompson took the phone from his daughter's hand in disbelief, stared at the string of numbers with wide eyes, and muttered to himself. "Have you counted it? How many digits is it?" "It seems to be nine digits..." "What do you mean 'seems to be'? How many digits exactly?" "Ten digits." Esme almost stumbled and couldn't stand firm. Thompson held her up and said, "Don't worry, my dear." "Oh my god, ten digits, tens of billions..." This is not even how it's portrayed in TV dramas. In an instant, Thompson and Esme panicked.

    The family overcame many obstacles and finally arrived at the place where Thompson often bought clothes. The shop owner saw Thompson and immediately waved, "You're here again today?" "Yes, I'm here to buy some clothes for my son-in-law for the New Year! See if you have anything that fits him well, price is not a problem!" The shop owner was happy to hear this. In the past, Thompson always bargained hard and the shop owner didn't make much profit from selling him clothes. But today, Thompson couldn't lose face in front of his son-in-law, so he wouldn't bargain, which meant the shop owner could make a lot of money. When the shop owner saw Dominic, his eyes lit up. "Is your son-in-law a model? He's so handsome!" Thompson was quite proud when he heard this. "He's not a model, he's a CEO!" Esme couldn't help but poke Thompson twice and whispered, "Don't show off your wealth. Do you still want to bargain?"Thompson immediately realized his mistake and chuckled, "I was just kidding, he
