What brings you here?
One hand casually tucked in his trouser pocket, Domenic extended his arm to envelop Lindseys waist. I was here with my boss for a client meeting, but I didnt anticipate to meet you here. Are you here for the hot springs? With him?
Domenics gaze, cold and calculating, shifted towards Sumner as he spoke.
Lindsey quickly tried to clear up the misunderstanding with Domenic.
Mrs. Lopez invited me here today. I didnt 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 was coming from, but his lack of trust still left a tinge of sadness in her.
Then Sumner joined them, offering a smile to Domenic. Dont misunderstand, sir. Lindsey and I are just friends. Todays meeting was purely accidental. I was surprised to see her here, too.
Sumner gave Lindsey a playful glance and continued, But whats surprising is how often you appear when Im with Lindsey. Its Like she has a tracker on her. Is it fate, or is it something else
Sumners casual comment sparked an instant feud between them.

Domenic shot Sumner a chilly look and narrowed his eyes.
Lindsey felt uneasy at Sumners 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 glanced at Domenic and saw him giving Sumner a frosty stare, tension hanging in the air.
Domenic scoffed, Well, they were all just lucky accidents. You two might as well coincidentally meet at a hot spring resort. Its 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 Domenics sleeve and whispered, Are you heading back tonight?
I have work tomorrow, and theres no bus back at this late hour.
Sumner offered me a lift, but now that youre here if youre also returning
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 Lindseys delicate shoulder, enclosing her in his strong embrace. He looked at her somewhat startled face and said, Youve got a man. Why would you need anyone else?
Resting against his chest, Lindsey looked up and blinked innocently.
