No need, Domenic refused without hesitation.
However, sensing her distress, he added, Dont worry. I wont go back on my promise.
Hearing his reassuring words, Lindsey was relieved. Although she hadnt known him for a long time, she trusted him.
Okay, see you this weekend, Lindsey said briskly before hanging up the phone.
Twenty minutes had passed, but Domenic still hadnt returned to the meeting room. Everyone was growing increasingly confused. Normally, Domenic would never answer the phone during a meeting, and even if he did, hed only say a few words before ending the call abruptly.
They couldnt help but wonder why he would spend so much time on this one phone call and who he was talking to.
There was a buzz of speculation in the room. When Domenic finally pushed the door open, the whole room fell into dead silence.
He had spent so much time on that one phone call. Something big mustve happened! Everyone sat upright and looked at him attentively, not daring to even breathe too loudly.
Go on. Unexpectedly, Domenic looked through the documents on his desk calmly, as though nothing had happened.
Everyone exchanged confused glances, but they didnt dare to disobey their boss, so they proceeded with the meeting.
On the day of the engagement party, Lindsey awoke to the sound of a brisk knock on her door. She got up, still bleary-eyed, and opened the door, only to find Kendra standing outside.
Wearing delicate make-up and an expensive red silk dress, Kendra held out a pink chiffon dress in front of Lindsey.

those people!
Lindsey took the dress over and smiled at her gratefully. Wow! Thank you so much, Kendra. This is great! I was stressing over what Id wear tonight.
Then, after closing the door, she didnt hesitate to toss the pink dress into the trash can.
That night, in a grand hotel, the guests started to trickle in.
Kendra stood at the entrance to receive them, looking like the perfect hostess.
It had taken her a great deal of effort to convince these celebrities and big shots to show up. However, unbeknownst to her, the people she thought were upper-class were at actually just middle class. With her Limited connections, she couldnt get in touch with the real upper class at all.
Mr. Navarro, youre here!
Kendra spotted a sleek Benz pulling up at the hotels entrance. A man in his fifties, with a stocky build and a sizable gold chain around his neck, stepped out of the car. At the mere sight of this man, Kendras eyes lit up in excitement, and she rushed over to greet him.
The man already had a plus one, but he didnt bother to hide his greed for women. He looked Kendra up and down and finally fixed his eyes on her exposed cleavage. Mrs. Stewart, Ive heard a lot about you, but I didnt expect youd be so young and beautiful. Mr. Stewart is so lucky to have you.
