Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right

He felt as though something was amiss.

But he figured that it was better not to probe Domenic for his intentions.

If he were to accidentally say something that he shouldn’t have, and invoked Domenic’s ire, the result could be catastrophic.

Thus, he decided to leave.

“Anyway, if there’s nothing else, I have to go.”

Before leaving, he winked at Nancy and remarked, “Miss Schultz, if you truly wish to know about it, you’d best ask me in private.

Only then will I tell you everything.”

Thereafter, he walked away.

Nancy was so frustrated that she bit her lower lip, and her face turned red from anger.

Upon seeing Nancy’s reaction, Lindsey tried to placate her.

“Ignore that playboy.

His first instinct whenever he sees a pretty woman is to flirt with her.

Don’t let him goad you.”

In her honest opinion, Mercer sought nothing but excitement in toying with Nancy.

As Nancy’s long-time friend, Lindsey knew her all too well.

She vowed never to let her best friend get hurt.

“There’s no way I’d let myself be roped into his trap,” Nancy remarked through gritted teeth.

“Anyway, when will Xiomara arrive?”

She lifted her wrist to glance at her watch.

“Hmm… She’ll probably get her in an hour.”

“Make sure that nothing wrong happens.

Remember, many people are now watching our movements.” Having said that, Nancy directed her attention to the arrangements for the day.

Lindsey’s heart sank.

She searched on her phone for news about the specific obesity medication.

As expected, it was widely reported online.

News of Xiomara attending the event had quickly become a hot topic, attracting a crowd of fans.

Lindsey felt a mix of emotions.

She was happy for Xiomara’s success but also worried about her.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

However, this wasn’t the time to dwell on her concerns.

She glanced at Sumner, who was getting his makeup done, and forced herself to stay calm.

No matter what happened today, she had to ensure that Sumner and Xiomara successfully completed the filming of the last episode.

Mercer returned to his VIP lounge.

He saw Domenic sitting on the sofa, reading a magazine.

Domenic didn’t look up when Mercer entered.

“Why did it take so long?” he asked indifferently.

“Guess who I saw just now!” Mercer couldn’t wait to share his encounter with Lindsey.

Domenic’s reaction was unexpectedly indifferent.

He simply asked, “You met Lindsey?”

Mercer was momentarily stunned.

He then sat next to Domenic, leaning lazily against the back of the sofa.

“How did you know that? Did you happen to meet her?”

“Uh-huh,” Domenic responded calmly.

Mercer was taken aback by Domenic’s reaction.

“What’s going on? Are you pretending not to know each other? What kind of game are you playing? I really don’t get it.”

Domenic’s eyes darkened slightly.

He continued reading the magazine and said, “I have nothing to do with her anymore.”

Mercer didn’t grasp his meaning right away.

When it finally clicked, he suddenly sat up from the sofa.
