Dominic shut his eyes slightly when he heard the tires screech. Now he would have to go on and start explaining where and why he was almost in an accident.
The crankshaft popped and the car jerked in a rickety manner for a few minutes before it finally came to a halt.
" Yeah, I'm good." He responded and coughed when the fumes entered his nostrils. " Let me call you back, Selena." He said and hung up promptly.
He alighted from the car and went to the boot to inspect what could be wrong with the car, he noticed that the back tires had been deflated, and the same thing went for the tires.
He quickly reached for his gun and stuffed it into his pocket. He was left on the wide road. Thus was a distraction to deter him from reaching his destination and he had an inkling of who was probably behind it.
The question was how did they manage to know that he'd be seeking them out baffle
Todd, who was vibrating in anger didn't end up saying anything, instead he shook his head and walked out from her office with renewed vigor about what he was going to do so that he wouldn't fail and make his boss and Emily laugh at him.Dominic walked in immediately after Todd exited the office and Selena beamed from ear to ear and rose excitedly to welcome him with a hug. "Hey, you're back. I was just about to start preparing to go home." She told him and he grinned at her before leaning downward to kiss her.Their breaths tangled as they explored each other's mouths, and a few minutes later, they broke apart to catch some breath. He was not in the best mood when he came in but her excitement made him happy. " You look stunning." He complimented her and she snorted in disbelief.She had been working since morning, she had even let her hair down in the process so she was wondering where he saw the beauty he was talking about." What, you don't believe me? Have you seen you? He raise
"What is this? I don't think you understand that we are a corporate body, this is not going to suffice. This is not going to get me anywhere." She told him in annoyance. What was he expecting from her? To accept this trash he was able to come up with.Dominic touched her arm softly, stopping her from talking too much. "Redo it. It's not a bad thing to ask for help regardless of what the case might be. Emily might be in a better position to help with this." He told him.Todd was not happy with the way his job was being relegated. Selena made him seem useless. He didn't mind redoing it but her tone was unfriendly and the last person he'd ever ask for help was Emily.Dominic followed him out of Selena's office. He knew that his ego had suffered a great blow but that was none of his concern, he would rather that he did something better than allow his ego ruin him." Todd." He called and Todd swiveled around."Oh, I didn't see you sir. Is there anything you want me to do, sir?" He asked.
The men turned toward the door and saw that Dominic was standing right in front of them. It was a ploy to see him in the flesh. " What are you doing here?" Dominic inquired, standing in front of the door blocking the entrance and making sure that they had no chance to escape. He recognized them but he couldn't place his finger on where he knew where. The men were afraid to repeat the stupid reason they told his wife because they knew that he would fish them out. " We have not been seeing you in the meeting, hence we are here for the levy." One of the men said. Dominic shook his head, "So, how much is the money?" He inquired from them as he stared them down waiting to hear what they were going to say so that he would know what to do to them. "Five thousand dollars." Dominic began to laugh, startling the men who were sitting. Selena stared at him questioningly wondering why he was laughing so hard, " Five thousand dollars? Let me see your license, your ID card too." He requeste
Eleanor bowed her head slowly when she saw that she had interrupted an intimate moment. I'm sorry, ma'am." She apologized, but Dominic waved his hand in dismissal.Immediately Selena saw her, she knew who she was. From the way she was dressed. She wore black slacks and black cargo tops, she was shocked why she didn't wear camo. " It's great to finally meet you, Eleanor." Selena smiled, breaking the silence."It's good to see you too, ma'am." She bowed respectfully. Selena noticed that her accent was slightly different from hers. "Wait for me in the reception, Eleanor." Dominic ordered and she turned immediately."Are you supposed to turn her away like that?" Selena spoke and he shrugged. She didn't know his position in Victoria, because he was being soft with her didn't make him that soft hearted. He was dealing with her according to her frame. " Isn't she going to feel offended that you walked her out of the office?"" I'm not here to please her. She shouldn't have barged into my
The next morning, Selena bubbled with so much energy as she prepared to go to the office. She could barely sleep the previous night as energy strummed through her veins. She could feel it like a dose of dopamine. It was exhilarating like a kid on sugar rush." You are very happy." Dominic commented from the bed where he was watching everything that was going on." She held a burgundy gown in front of her figure and beamed, "Should I wear this? I think it's too short." " No, it's not. It's fine." Selena stared at him. It seemed as though there was something bothering him because he wasn't speaking which was quite unusual, not like he was talkative but at least he was a bit better. "Are you sure? Are you alright?" Dominic nodded and stared at her when she walked closer to him, " What's the problem?" "Nothing, I thought something had happened to you, maybe in Victoria? You are moody and it's too early in the morning." Dominic shot her a blank look, he was just thinking about some st
Dominic's hand was spread over Selena's chair as he stared at the couple before them. How did they manage to come together after all that happened between them? He guessed, in this case, love was blind. Or she was just being deliberately stupid.Who was he to judge? That would be a breakdown in his character." I didn't know that you also came to where the rich gathered." Silas smirked, his ire leaking through his voice. Dominic didn't rise to the bait because he knew that arguing with a fool was pointless. He nudged Selena gently when she wanted to respond. " Fools aren't to be answered. That's what they want, don't give it to them." He said and Camara's demeanor immediately changed, she was pissed that Dominic would ridicule her husband in that manner." What do you even have?" She retorted.Selena glowered at her but at Dominic's command didn't say anything. When they saw that this couple were not in the mood to banter with them, they walked away quietly." You should have let me
Dominic later changed his mind about not going to the dinner. After considering how lonely and defenseless Selena might be, he decided to show up." Dominic!" Selena exclaimed when she saw him. His eyes rested on hers for a few minutes before strolling around the dining room. Ire was written all over their faces as he strolled in.Selena clung unto him, soaking up his strength as she looked up at him, searching his eyes wondering why he was finally here." I didn't know that you'd come." She muttered under her breath and he chuckled softly. Her family watched the interaction because they had never seen him this cheerful around anyone else. "I didn't want to leave you to the lions, they'll chew and spit you up in a second." Selena was surprised at the accuracy of his words, they were already arguing a few minutes ago. They were insinuating that she and Dominic had a fight, hence the reason for his absence. This had led her to begin to fight on his behalf and ended up trading words wi
Selena's brows creased as she immersed herself in deep thoughts causing Dominic to be a bit worried. His eyes were on throughout the time that they were in the car and he almost spoke about it but decided to give her space.Maybe she was dealing with something else? He thought, so he returned his attention to his phone and decided to seize that opportunity to respond to the tons of messages lying in the phone.The first text he opened was that of Anderson's. They had not spoken for a long time and here he was texting him. It had better be for a good cause. He thought."Good evening, sir, I had a discussion with Micheal, and he is telling me that he wants to supply ammunition to Victoria." He said and I looked around. Oh, so that was the way they were doing it now. How obsessed could Micheal be with Victoria? It was no wonder why he called Anderson. " What did you say?" "I told him no." Anderson's text came faster like he had been waiting for this moment. "Good." Dom replied. He fli
