Chapter 210
Miranda was dumbfounded this time.
“What’s wrong?” Dominic looked at her coldly. “Didn’t you just say you wanted to cut your heart open?”
“Dominic…” Miranda forced a smile.
“Do you want me to do it for you?”
“No!”
“What I meant was. I’m willing to do anything for you,” she felt guilty, “when I said ‘cutting my heart open,” it was a metaphor, it’s…”
Miranda was incoherent, “Dominic, don’t you understand even this?”
“I apologize if that’s the case.” Dominic smiled lightly, “I have a straightforward way of thinking and can only take things literally. When you said that just now, I thought you really wanted to cut your heart open!”
“Hah,” Miranda said awkwardly, “Are you joking with me?”
“I never joke with people I’m not familiar with.”
Dominic’s expression was cold, exuding an intimidating pressure all over.
Miranda clenched her fists, nails digging deep into her flesh as her hatred surged like flames.
She forced a smile, gracefully walked up to the two of them, and began praising Jane’s cooking skills, “Miss Fallon is truly skilled in the kitchen, her dishes are delicious in appearance, fragrance, and taste,
surpassing even the most talented chefs in our family!”
Jane nodded politely but didn’t bother to engage with her.
Undeterred, Miranda continued, “I wonder who will be fortunate enough to marry Miss Fallon in the future!”
Dominic’s face darkened, and the word “get lost almost slipped from his lips, but Jane pressed on his hand, giving him a signal with her eyes.
“The person who will have that fortune is Dominic alone,” she said softly, “no one else!”
“Is that so?” Miranda lifted her chin arrogantly, emphasizing each word, “You shouldn’t speak too confidently, Miss Fallon.”
Jane’s voice was calm, but she exuded an undeniable aura of authority, “This is my Flance’s office, and it’s lunchtime now. I wonder if you have any other business here?”
“If not, please leave. If there are work–related arrangements, my Fiance will have someone contact you.”
Her words carried the air of a true hoss, emphasizing those two words ‘my Flance‘ and Miranda was suddenly taken aback.
Dominic smiled at jane, showing a sense of intimacy as he touched her hair.
“Does Miss Miranda want to stay here and have lunch with us?” Jane’s smile grew even warmer.
Miranda’s molars were almost crushed from clenching them so tightly.
Dominic didn’t say a word from start to finish, only focusing on the dishes Jane brought, completely ignoring Miranda’s presence.
He had intended to support Jane, but he hadn’t expected this petite woman to have so much fighting power.
While he was ready to use a knife, all she needed was a simple yet powerful approach. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
“Hmm, it’s delicious!” He ate heartily and showed Jane an innocent smile.
Miranda turned and walked out of the office, her high heels making a resounding sound with each step.
Once she was sure Miranda was far away, Jane suddenly stopped smiling and snatched the bowl from Dominic’s hand!
“What are you doing?” Dominic still had a mouthful of food, looking at her innocently, “Isn’t this meal for me?”
Jane glared at him, wishing she could smash the bowl on his head.
“But seeing his innocent and frightened look, and knowing he had gone hungry for the whole afternoon, her heart softened….
Pathetic! She scolded herself inwardly, berating her weakness every time she encountered this man. What was wrong with her?
“Love…” Dominic cautiously smiled, carefully observing her expression.
Jane let out a long sigh, surrendering, and added some other dishes to his rice, then handed him the bowl.
“Don’t just eat the meat, have some vegetables too,” she whispered.
Dominic knew why she did that just now, but he pretended to act clueless, smiling as he asked, “Oh, so you took my bowl just to make me eat more vegetables! Thank you, wife, I’ll finish all of this in no time!”
Jane remained silent.
But she felt uneasy. After a while, she couldn’t help but ask him. “What did Miranda come for this. time?”
Again?
Dominic put down his spoon and fork, “This is her first time coming. The two companies need to collaborate on a project, so she came to report the situation to me, that’s all..”
“So it’s just a coincidence that I bumped into her, right?”
She pointed her finger and poked him in the chest, her face showing jealousy.
Dominic discreetly pursed his lips, smiling even more brightly.
He didn’t want her to misunderstand, so he explained softly, “You’re overthinking it. Miranda and I only have a working relationship, nothing more.”
“I know…” She hung her head low, “But when I see her around you, I feel irritated and…”
And jealous.
She couldn’t bring herself to say the word.
Dominic put down his utensils and embraced her with his big arms. He pressed her little head against his chest, and she could hear the strong and steady heartbeat.
“Do you remember what I said before?” Dominie said softly, “After meeting you, I developed emotions. I’m no longer a cold machine.”
My Husband Is A Secret Hills
Jane sniffled, her two small hands fidgeting with the corners of his clothes.
“Love,” he looked into her bright eyes, “Next week, there will be French businessmen visiting for the signing ceremony of one of the projects. You’ll attend with me.”
“What?” Jane was taken aback.
Dominic smiled.
She had to attend and couldn’t even take a day off.
Because this project belonged to the western district.
And she was the big boss behind the western district.
