Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right

“Lindsey, what a surprise to see you here.

”

Lindsey returned the greeting with a polite smile.

“Miss Larson, it’s been a while.

”

“You two know each other as well?” Reece asked, surprised.

Carole, still smiling, replied, “I met her once on the show of ‘Star Search’.

Lindsey cast a quick glance her way.

Carole had mentioned they’d only met once, clearly avoiding the fact that she’d invited her to her engagement party and even enlisted her help in picking out a ring.

Lindsey remained silent.

Reece scratched his head and admitted, “I see.

I’ve seen all your shows, yet somehow I managed to forget that.

”

“You are so forgetful,” Carole teased.

“By the way, you and Lindsey are…” she trailed off, giving them a once-over.

Domenic, standing just behind her, narrowed his eyes slightly.

“I represent Miss Stewart’s company legally.

I’ve assisted her with a lawsuit before.

She’s here today to express her gratitude for the previous victory in court,” Reece explained, hoping to offer Carole a full picture.

It seemed he had no reservations about sharing details with Carole.

As he wrapped up his explanation, a soft cough sounded from behind

Carole.

Only then did Reece realize Domenic had been standing there all along.

He looked a bit anxious, concerned he might have inadvertently ignored Domenic by focusing so much on Carole.

“Why are you standing all the way over there, Domenic? Come join us,”

Reece called out, gesturing for him to come closer.

In a move to seat Carole next to Domenic, Reece stood and took the seat beside Lindsey.

Out of the corner of his eye, Domenic had been stealing glances at

Lindsey.

Since his arrival, she hadn’t once met his gaze directly, as though she was a stranger to him.

“Domenic, why don’t we share a table?”

Domenic remained motionless, prompting Reece to give him a warm, reassuring smile.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Turning to Carole, Domenic explained, “The table my grandpa reserved isn’t here.

We should probably move on.

”

Yet, Carole, catching sight of Lindsey seated quietly, offered a slight smile and said, “It’s been ages since I’ve seen Reece.

We’re all here by chance; why not sit together and catch up?”

Reece and Domenic had been childhood neighbors in the same luxurious villa district.

Reece often visited Domenic, and during those visits, he became acquainted with Carole.
