Reborn to Love and Luxury. Chapter twenty two.
Kathy stared at the key card in disbelief. Was he offering her a place to stay in his penthouse for free?! She couldn't believe her eyes. "Sir…I don't need this. My current place is just fine."Dominic gazed around the small living room and shook his head, a hint of disdain on his face. "I expected someone as smart and experienced as you are to aspire for something greater than this,” he uttered bluntly and Kathy was deeply offended. Her apartment was the only affordable option available to her at the moment. She hadn't been with Henderson Corp for long and had very little money in her account. Yet, despite her condition, he sounded so ignorant as though she had willingly chosen a life of poverty for herself. Despite her annoyance, she decided not to show it. "I appreciate your kindness, Sir, but my financial situation doesn't allow me to live in a fancy apartment. This place is affordable for me, and I am not living here because I have a choice, neither do I like it here," Kath

"I must admit, I didn't expect Miss Kathy to have cooking skills," Dominic remarked, visibly impressed."Given my financial situation, I had to learn how to cook for myself. It is too expensive to eat out anyway. I can't afford that.” she responded with a bright smile while setting the dining table in her new, grandiose living room.Dominic stared at Kathy at that moment, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of surrealness. She was supposed to be like a prominent figure, driving fancy cars and living the dream life of every young woman, but here she was, quietly grappling with life's challenges, her true struggles hidden beneath her composed exterior. "In that case, I'll ask my P.A. to cancel tonight's dinner." He uttered with a slight smirk.Dominic lacked knowledge about cooking, and it was his P.A. who typically arranged their meals every day. Seeing that Kathy, his new neighbor, had culinary skills, he was quite pleased.The delightful aroma of food wafted towards Dominic, and

Bridgette and the others sat up attentively, eagerly awaiting Kathy's continuation. "I know all of you care about me. Abigail has been mentioning this repeatedly, but I want to solemnly assure you that the CEO and I don't have the kind of relationship you might be thinking," Kathy stated.Abigail was taken by surprise. "But Maricela claimed that you and the CEO go to work together every day. I've been observing for a few days now, and it seems to be true..."Bridgette kept nudging Abigail, but she ignored it and persisted."Kathy, we've been with you for so long, and we all hope you can find happiness. We genuinely think our boss is amazing, and maybe he could be the one for you..."Kathy rubbed her forehead in exhaustion."Oh dear... I already told you before that there's nothing going on between us. Please don't let your imaginations run wild."Everyone was familiar with Kathy's straightforward nature. If there was any truth to the rumors about her and Dominic, she wouldn't hesita

Abigail and the others exchanged incredulous glances, causing a momentary freeze in the office atmosphere. Kathy, feeling embarrassed, pressed her lips together.After Dominic's departure, the office erupted with excitement. The previous discussion was completely forgotten as everyone's attention was solely focused on Dominic's unusually soft expression and tone."Kathy, sweetie! You swore you had no special connection with the CEO. When has he ever been so gentle with anyone else?" Abigail shook Kathy's arm while speaking rapidly.Overwhelmed, Kathy attempted to explain."He…he was just being nice, you guys. He's not usually like this with me all the time. Besides, we live near each other, and I'm a capable employee…"In an unexpected turn, Kathy, known for her smart thinking, struggled to articulate her thoughts, but everyone understood her message nonetheless."What do you all gather from this? Let me make it clear, if you allow gossip to affect your work, I won't let it slide!" Ka

Kathy arched her eyebrows in amusement."What's with that look? Come see this," she revealed an email from the company, Topcom."We hope to establish further collaboration with your company...!" Abigail recited aloud, her gaze fixed on Kathy, clearly astounded. "Darling, you're incredible! You're my inspiration!""This is the outcome of everyone's hard work, not just mine. Now that Topcom's order has come in, you can draft the contract." Kathy grinned.Abigail hesitated momentarily. In the past, Kathy had personally handled negotiations with such major clients. Was she entrusting this task to her now?"Kathy, I..." Abigail began, her uncertainty evident.Observing Abigail's hesitance, Kathy understood her concerns. She placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder."Everyone has a first time. I too was apprehensive when I was starting. Besides, you're no longer a novice. I hope you can evolve into an independent professional, not just shadowing me."Encouraged by Kathy's words, Abigail was

"Welcome to the party, Miss Kathy," Mr. Wade greeted Kathy warmly. "Feel free to make yourself at home and help yourself with the food and drinks. Don't be shy.""Thank you, Mr. Mcmillan," Kathy responded politely.As a new guest arrived, Mr. Wade acknowledged Dominic with a nod before turning his attention to the other attendees."He is currently the biggest client of Henderson Corp. and was one of the first to invest in me. Without him, Henderson Corp would not have made it this far," Dominic explained.Kathy understood this well. Without capital, even the best ideas remained mere potential. However, capital wouldn't favor good ideas that couldn't create value. A company's success is linked to its founders, ideas, and capital."Did Mr. Mcmillan not make any demands on you back then?" Kathy asked, her brow furrowing.Just like with Xavier's company, the hands of capital always sought to control the company's development. If it weren't for her, Xavier's company would have gone bankrup

Gazing at Dominic's charming face, Kathy was taken aback by his unexpected sense of humor. It truly impressed her.Observing his grin, Kathy suddenly recalled his ambiguous behavior earlier in the car. She blushed momentarily but couldn't contain her impatience. "This soup is scorching hot, and it's tiring to hold. Are you going to drink it or not?"Upon hearing this, Dominic swiftly took the spicy soup from Kathy's hand. "Damn…I was so engrossed in our conversation that I completely overlooked the soup in your hand."Only after receiving the bowl of soup did Dominic realize how hot it was! Hastily entering the room and placing it on the table, Dominic pulled Kathy closer."Let me see your hands," Dominic furrowed his brow with worry as he spoke to Kathy.Kathy pulled her hand back and shook her head. "Why are you looking at my hand? Are you trying to take advantage of me?"Dominic chuckled in exasperation at Kathy's words."So, if I look at your hand, it means I'm taking advantage

While Dominic was engrossed in sipping his soup, Kathy was struck by a sudden, shocking idea - how wonderful it would be if she could always prepare food for him. The notion frightened her, and she set down her bowl. Why would she think like that so suddenly? “Are you alright? Is something wrong?” Dominic noticed her abrupt stillness and inquired. Kathy's heart raced at his concern. One moment he was formal and strict with work, the next, he appeared so kind and attentive. She felt as though she couldn't catch her breath. "Oh, I'm fine, just my head hurts a bit," she replied. Dominic let out a deep sigh. “You should take some time off from work. I'm afraid you might fall if you keep pushing yourself too hard.” He advised and she turned to look at him.He rummaged through the item shelf and eventually set a box of plastic gloves in front of her. “What are these for?” Kathy asked.“These are protective gloves. Your hand is hurt so you can't get it wet until it heals. These might

"I have no idea. Oh, by the way, I saw you at the Spring Festival Gala earlier," Kathy said, trying to please him. Dominic's face turned as dark as ink on the side."I've been to the Spring Festival Gala for three consecutive years," he said."I know!" 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. "Brother, why are there so many people downstairs? What are they doing? The snow is so dirty, and they're just throwing it

"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?" Naomi was about to leave when she caught sight of the big TV hanging on the wall of the Thompson family living room. She immediately pointed at the TV and exclaimed, "Isn't that him! 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. "I hope this year's Wilson won't disappoint the audience friends and the Spring Festival Gala program group who invited me. I will work hard."As he spoke, Wilson even bowed to the camera, showing his politeness. His whole body exuded the aura of a noble young master, making people feel

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! "What are you moving for!" Dominic tightly controlled Kathy's struggling wrist, "Don't move, I'll go take a cold shower."Kathy, embarrassed, timidly looked at Dominic and nodded, "Okay, you can go."Dominic was choked by her words and couldn't catch his breath for a while, but eventually he bent down.Kathy quickly turned her head, revealing her long and white neck."Ah!" Kathy exclaimed, her eyes misty and watery, pitifully looking at Dominic, "Why did you bite me! It hurts!"Hearing the words that made him want to indulg

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

Dominic felt that at this moment, Kathy was emitting an indescribable radiance. A long time ago, he fell in love with Kathy. Now, he was having difficulty breathing, and Kathy had become the only tenderness and light he longed for in this world.Thompson and Esme never doubted their daughter's abilities. Since childhood, Kathy has always been the most outstanding one. No matter how difficult things were, as long as Kathy said she could do it, even if it meant risking her life, she would do it. Yes, although their family was not outstanding, they had such an outstanding daughter! As long as their daughter was excellent enough to not fear any challenges, then being in a relationship with Dominic didn't seem like such a difficult thing to accept.Although Thompson and Esme still had worries on their faces, their masks were no longer as indestructible as before. "Kathy, won't this be too hard for you?" Esme felt sorry for her daughter.Extraordinary Kathy was born into such an ordinary

"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. Esme sighed and said to Kathy, "My dear, you must not be with him just for his money! The most important thing in a relationship is to live a good life together!" "Dominic, you've seen our family's situation. We are just ordinary working-class people, but

"Ah! Bus route 3! Quick!" Thompson turned his gaze away from the double doors of the restroom and saw the bus approaching in the distance. He quickly bumped Dominic's arm with his shoulder and they ran towards the bus station with their bags.Dominic, who had never experienced this before, didn't know what to do.Seeing Dominic still in a daze, Kathy switched all her bags to her right hand, grabbed Dominic's arm, and ran forward. "What are you thinking? Did Dalein give you a brainwashing attack!"Even if Dominic didn't know why The Thompson family was desperately running forward, he understood that all he could do now was to hurry up.After rushing, with the help of a kind driver, the Thompson family finally squeezed onto the bus.Dominic looked at the empty seats on the bus, his Adam's apple moved, he swallowed hard, and regained his senses.It seemed that he had just done something he had never done before. It felt quite novel.Kathy pulled Dominic to sit in the double seat at the

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
