Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right

Lindsey realized he meant their dinner plans.

She cheerfully responded, “No worries, we have our whole lives ahead; there’ll be more chances.

”

Domenic just hummed in response.

Lindsey had a sudden realization about her casual mention of a lifetime and felt her cheeks inexplicably flush.

Then, she playfully squinted her eyes and said, “There is no way you are getting away from me for good! I’ll keep a tight grip on you unless…”

“Unless what?”

Lindsey paused, her voice softening.

“Unless someday you tell me you don’t love me anymore.

Then I’ll set you free.

”

“That day will never arrive.

” Domenic’s voice, deep and full of warmth, reached Lindsey, “In this life, it’s only you and me, together forever.

”

It was like a feather softly settled on the water, creating ripples that extended outward.

A rush of emotions washed over Lindsey, and her nose tingled just a bit.

She swiftly pushed down her sentimental feelings and arched an eyebrow.

“You’re quite the charmer.

How about sharing a few more sweet words with me?”

Domenic was at a loss for words.

He said those words just because he meant it.

And now, requesting him to speak tenderly in all seriousness felt a tad challenging.

“Don’t get too greedy, Linds.

I’ve got some other matters to handle; we’ll talk later.

”

After hanging up the phone, Lindsey felt a sweet warmth envelop her heart.

The sound of Domenic’s voice had managed to alleviate her exhaustion significantly.

That night, Lindsey was so engrossed in her work that she drifted off to sleep right at her office desk.

Upon awakening the next morning, she discovered a message from Domenic, sent the night before, explaining his absence due to an overwhelming workload.

Surprised by the realization that both she and Domenic shared the experience of working late and being unable to return home, Lindsey couldn’t help but smile knowingly.

“Me too! I didn’t even realize when I fell asleep in the office.

”

It appeared that Domenic had been eagerly anticipating her response.

Barely moments after her reply, the phone pinged with message.

I thought you might be upset because I didn’t come home last night, Domenic wrote.

Exiting her office, Lindsey wrote back.

“Am I truly that narrow-minded?”

Domenic’s reply came swiftly.

“Because I hope you can miss me if I fail to make it home.

”

A playful smirk tugged at Lindsey’s lips as she swiftly typed back a single word, “Freak!”

After sending the message, she glanced up and noticed Xiomara, the new employee who had joined just the day before, diligently sweeping the now-empty company premises.

Glancing at the clock, Lindsey realized it was only six in the morning.

“Why do you come so early?”

Startled by Lindsey’s voice, Xiomara nearly dropped the broom in her hand.

“Lindsey.

.

Why.

Why are you here?
