“Mr. Wellington, you are here.”
The door to the top floor of Flaming Bar opened, and Dominick walked in. Ignoring the flattering voices around him, he raised an eyebrow, looked around, and walked directly to the semicircular bar counter on the east side.
As soon as Stephanie turned around, she saw Dominick walking towards her and asked with a smile, “Dominick, will George come with the other shareholders?
Hed
doesn’t like ban, Dominick replied calmly. Suddenly, he frowned and asked, “What’s wrong with your hand?”
Being stared at, Stephanie immediately hid her hands behind her back, feeling guilty
“What happened” Dominick continued. He looked at her sternly and took her right hand, which was bandaged with gauze.
“Nothing” Stephanie didn’t want to explain. She tried to pull her hand back, but Dominick grasped her wrist.
“Her palm was a little scratched,” Vincent said with an innocent look. He knew Dominick would question him. He picked up a glass of wine and took asip, adding, “She hurt herself
Dominick deliberately pressed her wound. Stephanie tensed her face. Feeling the stinging pain, she frowned, which made hian even more annoyed
“I told you this moming that I would send someone to pick you up, but you ran away again.”
“She gets injured because of me,” Hayley said awkwardly, surprised that Dominick would get angry so easily.
She continued, “Dominick, don’t blame Stem. She tried to support me, so her palm hit the fire–resistant metal buckle on the edge of the floor
“I like to do it.” Stephanie muttered with a gloomy face out of some emotion.
What she meant was that her injury had nothing to do with Dominick, and she didn’t need Hayley to plead for her.
“Stephanie Dominick’s face was a linde gloomy. He bent down, put his hands on her shoulders, and whispered in her ear angrily, “Do you know how many times I have told you not to strengthen yourself?”
“I didn’t hurt the babies. Stephanie inmediately thought of her pregnancy. She raised her head with some pride and added, “I reacted quickly. At that moment, I immediately half–crouched down and supported the floor with one hand. I won’t let anything happen to my children”
Dominick glanced at her sideways and found that she actually looked so smug. He became even angrier and snorted, “Stephanie, you are very proud of it, huh?”
He sat next to her and pulled her to sit on his lap. Then, he put his left hand around her waist and deliberately ruffled her bang
Stephanie hurriedly said, “Hey, don’t mess up my hair. I specially styled my hair”
Dominick looked at her. “It looks no different than usual”
“You have no taste. I’m obviously more beautiful tonight than usual.” Stephanie was not modest.
Dominick chuckled without saying anything.
Stephanie was a little depressed. Her bang was messy, so she just leaned on his shoulder.
She had chosen her clothes and styled her hair for this party, hoping to leave a good impression on Dominick’s senior employees and friends, but it seemed unnecessary, as those people dared not come to her.
*Dominick, I changed into new clothes and have a new hairstyle. You should compliment me, or I’ll get angry with you. Recently, Stephanie read a for of posts about how a couple get along with each other.
“Well, you should remember to remind me.” Dominick was good–tempered in front of Stephanic.
Stephanie was dissatisfied, so she punched him in the chest with her right hand. “If you praised me after 1 reminded you, it would be meaningless.”
Dominick didn’t feel any pain at all. He didn’t understand her thoughts, which was really complicated. He was helpless, saying. “You are the same every day, so you don’t need to dress up.”
Hayley picked up the half–glass of red wine on the bar and couldn’t help but look at them out of the corner of her eye. She lowered her gaze, pressed her lips with a suppressed emotion, and drank the wine all in one gulp.

“By the way, Hayley, a staff member of Flaming Bar said you were running in the corridor before,” Vincent chatted with her curiously. “Are you chasing someone? Did someone steal your wallet?”
Upon hearing this, Hayley froze and then put down the wine glass.
With a wry smile, she murmured, “I just saw a figure that looked like him, so I…
You saw Oscar at Flaming Bar!” Vincent was surprised
Hayley said, “Maybe I recognized the wrong person.”
The bartender refilled Hayley’s half–full glass of red wine. She picked up the glass and took another big sip, feeling a little irritable and depressed.
“Don’t read those meaningless posts online. Dominick didn’t hear clearly the conversation between Hayley and Vincent. He was reasoning with Stephanie. Stephanie listened to him, puffed up, and remained silent.
Seeing Stephanie’s depressed look. Vincent felt happy. This naughty girl deserved it.
He suddenly remembered something. “Dominick, I have something to talk to you”
Vincent stood up from the chair at the bar with a serious expression. “About the previous video…”
Seeing him like this, Dominick signaled Stephanie to get up from his lap and then naturally let her sit on the sofa. He walked up to Vincent, they tacitly went to the floor–to–ceiling window on the other side.
and
Vincent said. “When you had a car accident before, a man sent Stephanie to the hospital Someone recorded the scene. I planned to forward the video to you, but my computer happened to be hacked that night, and all the data was gone.”
Stephanie looked at them. She couldn’t hear what they were talking about, but from a distance, she could see Dominick’s gloomy profile. It seemed that he was not in a good mood.
“Steffi, I heard that you installed a bug in Dominick’s phone. Is it?” Hayley glanced at the two men in the distance, but she quickly shifted her gaze and casually asked Stephanie with a usual smile.
Upon hearing this. Stephanie felt a little irritated.
Dominick discovered that she had secretly installed a bug and criticized her.
“Don’t mind. I’m just curious about it because almost no one could make it. Hayley looked at Stephanie and chuckled. “How did you think of installing a bug in his phone? It’s really interesting
“I bought it online. It’s remotely controlled and can be used to do anti–reconnaissance.” Stephanie spoke with a wry smile. She spent 600 dollars on that damn bug, but is broke into pieces Dominick broke it.
icked up
I’m not asking you where you bought it” Hayley picked up the wine glass on the bar, gently swirling the bright red, fragrant wine thoughtfully. Her tone was gentle and leisurely
“I just want to know why you installed a bug on Dominick’s phone. Don’t you know that your behavior.is betrayal In the end, her tone was full of
sncer.
Stephanie frowned, looking at the contempt in her eyes. She thought, Ts Hayley despising me?
“Steffi, don’t you know what you did wrong? Have you ever heard of the story of werewolves!”
Hayley’s tone was very calm, but it sounded cold. “Legend has it that werewolves are a powerful and mysterious species. They are cruel and violent by nature, but there are exceptions. Once they accept each other, they will hall–kneel on the ground and raise their necks to show their lifelong loyalty.
“It means that they are willing to show their fatal weakness to each other. Some of them will take the opportunity to kill the other party with a sharp blade” At the end of her words, Hayley’s voice turned cold.
Only the beloved one could bring a person a fatal injury, and this injury was equivalent to betrayal.
Stephanie’s heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she looked at Hayley with her eyes slightly widened
Then, Stephanie lowered her head and fell in deep thought.
No wonder Dominick was furious that day. She murmured. “But I just want to be closer to him…”
