The Second Love

Chapter 206 Please Carry On

Seeing the devilish smile on Dominic's face as he held the sexy woman by his side, I was utterly annoyed. I knew that I had to leave at that moment, but my legs were not listening to me. What is wrong with me? I need to go right now. No one was stopping me at all. All I needed to do was turn around and leave. However, I could not move an inch. I stood rooted to the ground as I watched Dominic and the woman beside him walk toward me. Looking at the two individuals who were in each others' arms, I clenched my fists tightly. If I have a knife in my hands now, I'll stab them with it! Are they conjoined twins? Why are they holding each other so tightly? Can't they see me? They are the ones that walked over here to see me, but they are ignoring me. Also, why did the woman give me a once-over? What is she even looking at? “Mr. Hartnell, who's this? You promised that you would accompany me tonight and bring me out shopping tomorrow. Are you tricking me? You can't break your promise to me.” I could not believe my ears. I'm going to throw up. Can't she speak properly? What a disgusting tone. Accompany you tonight? Bring you out for shopping tomorrow? On what grounds? Who are you to make him spend his money on you? I didn't even spend much of his money when we were together! Dominic Hartnell's such a jerk. He's not even rejecting her. And why is he smiling like that? Is he that happy? I stood still as I remained silent, cursing inwardly. Interesting. They're pretending to not see me now? Fine. Let's see what they're going to do next. I was so mad that I could not do anything other than curse the adulterous couple in front of me. Yet, I realized that I could not take watching them any longer. The sexy woman swaying Dominic's arm coquettishly was really pushing my buttons. She's so shameless. She's acting like there's no one else in this room. I had no clue what Calvin thought when he brought me here. However, judging from his current expression, he seemed to be shocked as well.What pushed me over the edge of losing it was the woman's hand that started wandering on Dominic's body. The shameless woman also kept coaxing him to continue drinking. As she uttered sweet words, her left hand was on Dominic's body while her right hand sent the glass to the corner of his mouth. I was stunned by the scene. F*ck. Who allowed her to touch him like that? She's making him drink more. Is she going to get him in her bed after getting him drunk? With that thought, I bolted toward the woman. Grabbing the glass from the woman's hand, I emptied the contents at her face. After that, I pushed the woman away. The woman was stunned by my sudden action, and it took her quite some time before coming back to her senses. At that moment, the gentle and seducing look on her face was completely gone. She glared daggers at me and screamed, “What the f*ck! B*tch! How dare you!” I scowled at her and refuted, “We all know who the real b*tch is here! You can act shamelessly, but not in public! Not everyone here is as shameless as you!” That woman did not retaliate. She turned her head and buried her face in Dominic's chest. It seemed like she was sobbing, but she could very well be faking it. Dominic did not push her away. Instead, he patted her back as if to console her. At that moment, I felt like I wanted to slap the life out of him. I was even more enraged upon hearing Dominic's words. “What are you doing now? Are you declaring ownership over me? Are you jealous? You should know that you don't have the right to do so. If I'm not mistaken, you said that I have nothing to do with you now, right?” I don't have the right... Those words hit me like a bus.Suddenly, the complex emotions I had in me a moment ago completely dissipated. Liliana, have you lost your mind? He has nothing to do with you now! How does it matter to you that he's with another woman now? He's Dominic Hartnell! A well-known fashion designer, the founder of the AI-L brand, and also the head of Hartnell Group! He's a reputable man. Before this, I had never thought that I was not good enough for him. Even though his mother kept telling me that I could never be good enough, I had never looked down on myself. However, ever since we broke up, I finally believe that I truly am not good enough for him. I grew up in an ordinary family. I'm an ordinary woman who's not good at anything. Moreover, I'm a divorced woman. Also, my grandfather... Abruptly, I came to a realization that I was destined not to be with Dominic. I calmed myself and lifted my gaze to look at Dominic. “I'm sorry for meddling in your business. Please carry on... Oh, Calvin, did you hear that? Just let this pretty lady take care of Mr. Hartnell then.” After a short pause, I added, “Mr. Hartnell, you'll get sick if you drink too much... Actually, forget about it. I'm leaving now.”Calvin remained silent as he glanced from Dominic to me a few times. I noticed his expression. Haha. I guess he's not going to give up so easily. I did tell him that Dominic wouldn't listen to me. The woman beside Dominic was still clinging to him, sobbing like a child. “Mr. Hartnell, I'm so sad. How could she say that about me? I merely like you a lot.” Seeing that, I could not take it anymore. I'd better leave now to save myself from this mess. Yet, when I was about to leave, I heard Dominic utter, “Scram.” I was outraged upon hearing that. I am already leaving. Why is he being so rude by saying that?
