Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right

Feeling somewhat downcast, she pulled out her phone, contemplating calling Domenic but hesitated, not wanting to bother him repeatedly.

Eventually, she dialed her best friend, Nancy.

“Lindsey, what’s going on? Do you miss me?” Nancy’s voice had a cheerful and gentle tone.

She had been Lindsey’s sole companion for many years.

Lindsey’s nose twitched slightly, and she couldn’t help but feel sentimental.

“Yes, I miss you too.

”

“Why so mushy all of a sudden? I’m not used to this.

Just to be clear, I don’t want to be a lesbian!”

Nancy playfully teased her, noticing Lindsey’s somber tone.

As expected, it drew a laugh from Lindsey.

“f@ck off.

Did you run into Mercer recently?” She had been meaning to ask Nancy about it, but with her recent busy schedule, she hadn’t found the time to give her a call.

Nancy sighed and said, “Yes, I did, but he thought I was a crazy fan and ran away in a hurry.

”

“When did you start to have a crush on him?” Lindsey inquired, intrigued.

“It’s a long story.

He just… gives me a special feeling in a unique way.

I’m not giving up on him.

”

Respecting Nancy’s reluctance to talk about it, Lindsey didn’t ask for details.

They continued their conversation for a bit before saying goodbye.

Feeling a bit more cheerful, Lindsey decided to head back.

Unaware, she walked past a unique beach car parked a short distance away.

Inside, Domenic sat with one hand on the steering wheel and the other resting on the door, watching her with a look of concern in his eyes.

Arturo was in the passenger seat, his eyes following Domenic’s.

He broke into a teasing smile.

“Didn’t you see enough of her at the birthday banquet just now? And now you’re following her here.

” Tell me, Domenic, have you fallen for her or what?”

He was leaving for Blosa the next day and had called Domenic out for a night together.

But Domenic had been distracted all evening.

He’d heard Lindsey was at the party and, knowing the beef between her, Kendra, and Shelia, he worried something might go down.

So he’d dragged Arturo out under a flimsy pretext, both of them keeping a covert watch on the party to make sure Lindsey was okay.

Arturo continued, grinning, “She really is something.

She flipped the situation all on her own and made that lady wet herself with embarrassment.

Man, that was hilarious.

”

Domenic turned his sharp gaze to Arturo.

Arturo’s laughter died, and he leaned in, his voice dropping to a grave note.

“Be careful with a woman like her.

They’re tricky to handle.

A little fun now and then is okay, but don’t get tangled up.

She could cling to you.

”

Domenic shrugged off the warning.

“I’m not worried about her clinging.

”

Arturo looked surprised.

“Not worried? But what about your grandpa Jordan? I hear he’s dead set on a certain type of woman for his granddaughter-in-law.

Someone from the right background.

You think he’d be cool with you dating Lindsey?”

Domenic gave him an icy look.

“Don’t worry about me.

”

Then something seemed to hit him, and he quirked an eyebrow.

“By the way, do you know whose news I’ve got recently?”
