Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right

“What?” Domenic’s deep, magnetic voice sounded from the other end of the line.

“Domenic, I’m at Zrans University.

Guess who I just saw?”

“Just spit it out already.

Emilio swallowed and continued, “Lindsey Stewart.

I just saw a man dragging her into a car; she seemed to be reluctant to go with him.

”

Silence ensued.

The next moment, Domenic hung up on Emilio.

Emilio was momentarily taken aback, considering that he might have been a bit too meddlesome.

Judging from Domenic’s reaction it seemed that he didn’t have much interest in that woman.

So, Emilio just shrugged it off and left in another direction with the leaders of the university.

Emilio, however, had been right; Lindsey was very reluctant to be anywhere near Chayce.

She wanted to refuse, but she was afraid that doing so would arouse his suspicions.

Just as the despair was about to overwhelm her, her phone suddenly rang.

“Excuse me.

I have to take this.

”

Lindsey took out her phone in a hurry as though it could help her out of this dilemma.

As soon as she saw the caller ID, her heart skipped a beat.

“Hello, Mr.

Walsh.

” She greeted him in a low voice, covering the receiver with her palm so as to not let Chayce hear her.

Domenic spoke unhurriedly, as always.

“Yesterday, you said that you wanted to invite me to

dinner.

Well, I’m free now.

”

With a graceful lift of her gaze, she glanced at Chayce, who was now sitting in the driver’s seat.

Then she loosened her grip on the phone receiver and deliberately adopted a troubled expression.

“Does it have to be today?”

“If you’re busy, then I understand,” Domenic replied.

“Okay, okay.

It’s no problem at all.

I’ll be right there.

”

Lindsey suddenly raised her voice, which shocked Chayce, who had secretly been listening attentively.

After hanging up on Domenic, Lindsey looked at Chayce, batting her beautiful eyelashes at him apologetically.

“I’m sorry, Chayce.

Something came up, and I have to go right now.

”

Chayce immediately grew anxious.

“What urgent matter demands your immediate presence?”

“It’s about my campaign to become this year’s most outstanding graduate.

You know how important this is to me, right?”

With that, Lindsey shook off his hand and ran away.

She felt nauseous just staying in close proximity to Chayce, worried that if she stayed one more second, she’d vomit.

After putting considerable distance between her and Chayce, Lindsey took out her phone and called Domenic.

“Mr.

Walsh, thank you so much! You just did me a huge favor.

My fiancé suddenly showed up at my school today, and when you called me just now, he was right beside me, so I said those things to throw him off my trail.

If you hadn’t called me, I really wouldn’t have known what to do!”
