Vespera's eyelashes fluttered for a moment before coming to a rest.
Her body tensed, and her breathing seemed to freeze.
Dominic immediately sensed the shift in her. He straightened up and adjusted the blanket, making sure it was
properly tucked in. After a moment, he quietly stepped back.
Though she was awake, Vespera remained silent, not a word escaping her lips.
"So, despite everything he had going on, he still found tto kiss me. Maybe he really does like me," she
thought.
But that was all it really was. Emotions were complicated, and liking someone seemed almost trivial in
comparison. Yet, Vespera wasn't any different. She, too, was simply fond of him.
Half-asleep, she drifted back into slumber.
When she awoke again, the plane had already touched down at Harborview Airport.
Outside the window, the night had fallen, and the rain showed no signs of stopping.
As Vespera stood at the plane's door, a gust of wind swept in, jolting her awake and sending a shiver down her
spine.
A suit jacket slipped over her shoulders.
Dominic stood quietly behind her.
Vespera glanced down at the jacket, her hand instinctively reaching to remove it.
"Keep it on, Ms. Gildon. If you catch a cold, you won't be able to work." Dominic's voice cfrom behind, calm
but tinged with a slight rasp, like the distant murmur of rain on a restless night.
Vespera fell silent.

His reasoning left little room for dispute.
With the jacket on, she accepted the umbrella from Mia and descended the stairs.
The rain still struck her face, but more unbearable than the chill was the lingering dampness—an eerie cold that
seemed to seep deep into her bones.
The car meant to pick them up had been waiting for stime.
One by one, the four of them climbed in.
The local team had received prior notice to accommodate four people, so the car was replaced with a spacious
six-seater, ensuring ample room for everyone.
Back on the plane, Gerard had already told Vespera they wouldn't be staying at a hotel this time. Instead, they'd
be heading to a villa in a prestigious residential neighborhood.
He had even discreetly texted her sadditional details.
The villa was where Dominic had lived when he first arrived to study. Later, Fawn had arranged for his younger
brother and Nancy to study there as well, and they all lived together under the sroof.
In addition to Raymond, a few other staff members had been assigned to take care of them.
Though no one lived there anymore, the villa was still impeccably maintained.
In the past, Vespera might have been interested in hearing such backstories. But now, Dominic's past held no
appeal for her.
When they arrived at the villa, the rain was still falling.
Calvert carried the luggage inside, hauling it up the stairs one by one.
It seemed he had finally picked up on the tension between Dominic and Vespera.
He had barely spoken throughout the entire journey, and now that they had arrived, he preferred to keep himself
occupied.
Meanwhile, Dominic made a beeline for the master bedroom.
Though he seemed like a tireless machine, he was still human. His energy cfrom caffeine and pride, but the
illusion of control was beginning to unravel.
The truth was, he had pushed himself to the limit.
Vespera and the others quietly split up the rooms, each retreating to their own space to rest.
They were completely drained.
And on top of that, they still had to adjust to the tdifference.
It wasn't just physical exhaustion; their minds were just as worn out.

After scanning the cabinets, she settled on spasta. It would have to do. At least it would be warm.
Just as she began cooking, the doorbell rang.
Vespera froze.
