Chapter 32

Vespera hurriedly tried to make sense of their conversation. Dominic had said he had come back to sleep, and so had she. But there was nothing more to add and no natural way to continue. The radiant woman who had dominated the scene back at the banquet hall now looked up at him with her mesmerizing almond eyes, utterly defeated as she struggled to respond. She exuded a delicate charm that was pure yet alluring. It was something that could make any man's heart itch with desire. He looked away. She dropped her gaze when she realized he had nothing more to say. Their conversation ended abruptly. Soon, the elevator arrived at her floor. "Goodnight, Mr. Reid. Sweet dreams," she said politely. He nodded lightly. She stepped out and turned to see the elevator doors closing. Before she could relax, a pair of smooth and slender fingers slipped between the elevator doors. The elevator doors opened once again, and her brief moment of relief vanished. "I tried on the suit," he said calmly.
