Chapter 134

Dominic posted a picture of a strawberry cheesecake without any caption, but he did add an emoji… an emoji with eyes closed and a shy smile. It was an ordinary emoji, but when placed in the context of Dominic, it felt out of place. Vespera couldn't help but wonder what he was shy about. Dominic stood up. "Let's go to the office." He walked out. Gerard and Vespera followed him. In the elevator, Vespera stood behind Dominic, her eyes focused on his back. She realized that she had completely misjudged her new boss. When he wasn't being cold and aloof, he could be quite funny. He didn't seem to care about other people's thoughts, either. Gerard was still caught up in that emoji. Unable to resist, he leaned toward Dominic's ear and whispered, "Mr. Reid, did you maybe post the wrong emoji? That one is called 'shy.'" Not wanting to leave any confusion, he added, "It's a very girlish kind of shy." Dominic's expression remained cold. "Is it? Oh, it was probably a slip of the hand."
