All Chapters of Reborn to Love and Luxury.: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

“Dominic…!” Kathy gasped for air as his lips melded with hers yet again. She tried desperately to free herself from his hold, but he was too strong for her and in that drunken state, he seemed unaware of his actions.Lost in a haze, Dominic had the feeling of being with Carissa once more. He yearned for her to stay, longing to express his desire to love and care for her his entire life, but alas, she left him without hesitation, leaving him to wander and live a sad, lonely life in the big city."Carissa, you've finally returned," Dominic exclaimed, tightly embracing Kathy and showering her cheeks and lips with kisses. Kathy was completely taken aback.Under the influence of alcohol, Dominic persistently called out the name Carissa, unknowingly mistaking Kathy for someone he had loved in the past."Get a grip on yourself…!" Kathy exerted all her strength to finally push Dominic away, and she stepped back, panting heavily and moving her ruffled hair aside."I can't believe I got to see t

"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

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

"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

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
