Chapter 28 See The Stars And Moon Now
With her lips pursed, Calliope nodded in agreement. Shortly after, she followed Jonah to the nearby Regal Star Hotel.
As expected, two blonde foreigners were already waiting at the venue.
After Calliope greeted them in fluent Ferropenian, she did her best at interpreting the conversation. The Ferropenians were satisfied with her capability. It only took that one meal, and they were already showing interest in a collaboration.
At this point, a relieved smile bloomed on Calliope’s face. She warmly raised her wine gla** to propose a toast to a fruitful collaboration.
Coincidentally, Jonathan, who happened to be pa**ing by, saw the scene.
At once, he stopped in his tracks. He was briefly stunned before he snapped back and scrutinized Calliope seriously.
Well, I’ve seen plenty of gorgeous women in my life. But Calliope’s smile feels so warm and charming that it seems to have made all the flowers in this world bloom instantaneously. There’s something so enchanting about her… No wonder Dominic wants to put the plan of returning to Yeringham on hold for now… So he’s giving up his everything for a woman!
Jonathan chuckled and pulled out his phone to give Dominic a call.
‘Silv, I’m at Regal Star Hotel to discuss some matters with someone, and guess what? I saw Calliope here too!”
There was, however, no response on the other end of the line, which was typical of Dominic.
“Who would have thought she even knows how to speak Ferropenian? Those two foreigners seem polite, but the man beside her is rather lecherous. He keeps on putting his hand on the back of her chair. Tsk, tsk…”
“Send me the address.”
“Huh?”
The voice on the other end suddenly turned frosty. “Don’t make me repeat myself!”
Jonathan regained his senses and immediately sent the location to Dominic. A long sigh of relief escaped his mouth after he finished doing so.
Meanwhile, after leading the two foreign clients to the hotel entrance and politely bidding goodbye, Calliope was about to turn back to get her bag when Jonah suddenly grasped her wrist.
“You probably didn’t eat your fill just now, did you?” Jonah appeared tipsy, and his gaze was becoming increasingly salacious. “Let’s go. Let’s head back and eat some more…”
“That’s not necessary.”
Calliope struggled to break free, yet Jonah tightened his grip. He was sizing her up sneakily, his eyes paying particular attention to her neckline beneath her revealing collar.
“Cally, do you not know how beautiful you are?”
“Mr. Frazer, you’ve had one too many!”
Calliope struggled, and in a panic, she managed to free one hand and stealthily reached into her pocket.
“I’m not drunk!” Breathing heavily, Jonah pulled Calliope into his embrace without warning. “Cally, I can’t get you out of my mind… You’re so much better than Melissa! If that b*tch’s uncle isn’t a shareholder, I couldn’t even be bothered about her… Even though I can’t give you a proper title, Cally, I can give you everything else as long as you’re willing to stay by my side! I can introduce you to more clients or help you clinch more business deals… If you can make me happy, I’d even get you the stars and the moon if you say so! I—”
Before Jonah could finish his sentence, he let out an agonized scream. “Ahh!”
Calliope was bewildered by his reaction. In the next instant, she was shielded by a tall figure that appeared before her, and following several dull thuds, Jonah was sent flying out before he landed on the ground and groaned in pain.
“You can see the stars and the moon now, can you?”
A wave of relief washed over Calliope instantly when she heard that deep, chilly voice.
Without hesitation, she threw herself into that warm, familiar embrace, wrapped her arms around the man’s waist, and pressed her face against his chest. Listening to his powerful heartbeat, she felt a great sense of security.
All of a sudden, she felt like crying.
Did he see everything that just happened? He wouldn’t think I’m seducing other men behind his back, would
he?
“Dominic, I
“It’s fine.” The man caressed her back tenderly, “I’m here now.”
