“What brings you here?”


    One hand casually tucked in his trouser pocket, Domenic extended his arm to envelop Lindsey’s waist.


    “I was here with my boss for a client meeting, but I didn’t anticipate to meet you here.


    Are you here for the hot springs? With him?”


    Domenic’s gaze, cold and calcting, shifted towards Sumner as he spoke.


    Lindsey quickly tried to clear up the misunderstanding with Domenic.


    “Mrs.


    Lopez invited me here today.


    I didn’t know Sumner would be here until I arrived.


    ”


    Domenic grinned, and in his eyes, Lindsey noticed… doubt.


    Lindsey understood that Domenic had never been friendly with Sumner.


    On top of that, their scandal was still making headlines.


    She got where he wasing from, but hisck of trust still left a tinge of sadness in her.


    Then Sumner joined them, offering a smile to Domenic.


    “Don’t misunderstand, sir.


    Lindsey and I are just friends.


    Today’s meeting was purely idental.


    I was surprised to see her here, too.


    ”


    Sumner gave Lindsey a yful nce and continued, “But what’s surprising is how often you appear when I’m with Lindsey.


    It’s Like she has a tracker on her.


    Is it fate, or is it something else…”


    Sumner’s casualment sparked an instant feud between them.


    Domenic shot Sumner a chilly look and narrowed his eyes.


    Lindsey felt uneasy at Sumner’s words.


    Why did she keep running into Domenic no matter where she went? A chance meeting or two could be luck, but as their encounters piled up, it started to look mighty fishy.


    It was hard to believe there were so many twists of fate in this world.


    Lindsey nced at Domenic and saw him giving Sumner a frosty stare, tension hanging in the air.


    Domenic scoffed, “Well, they were all just lucky idents.


    You two might as well ‘coincidentally’ meet at a hot spring resort.


    It’s not surprising for me to be present here, is it?”


    Lindsey picked up on the hidden meaning in his words and the barely concealed hostility in his demeanor.


    To defuse the situation, she tugged Domenic’s sleeve and whispered, “Are you heading back tonight?


    I have work tomorrow, and there’s no bus back at thiste hour.


    Sumner offered me a lift, but now that you’re here if you’re also returning…”N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    Before Lindsey could finish speaking, Domenic pulled her into a warm embrace.


    Lindsey gently nestled into his arms.


    Her light, alluring scent seemed to draw men in effortlessly.


    Domenic held Lindsey’s delicate shoulder, enclosing her in his strong embrace.


    He looked at her somewhat startled face and said, “You’ve got a man.


    Why would you need anyone else?”


    Resting against his chest, Lindsey looked up and blinked innocently.
