Chapter 663 Afraid You'd Overthink

Lia discreetly pinched Bella's arm, a silent reminder not to expose her meddling, and then pretended to focus on her work as if nothing had happened. Bella stood, rubbing her forehead, her tone sharp. "What are you doing here?" After the way Lia had texted him, she couldn't afford to back down now. Otherwise, it would all fall apart. Dominic's expression was unreadable, his emotions carefully concealed. "Come with me to the car. We need to talk." Miller Group wasn't far from the studio, so it wasn't surprising that he'd arrived so quickly. Bella dragged her tired body outside, her mind still foggy from sleep. As soon as they were in the car, Dominic leaned in and, without warning, kissed her. Bella tried to push him away, but his hand slid to the back of her head, holding her firmly in place. His other hand grabbed hers and pressed it against his chest. She could feel his heartbeat's strong, steady thump, its warmth spreading through her palm like a spell she couldn't resist.
