Chapter 111 Alaric's Jealousy
Cecilia certainly did not agree.
Because she knew Dominic too well, she was very clear that he definitely had bad intentions.
"If you want to explain, you can do it over the phone," Cecilia said bluntly.
Dominic replied, "It's hard to explain over the phone."
"Then don't explain."
"Just give me one chance, okay? I swear, after this, if you don't forgive me, I will never bother you again," Dominic's words were clearly a bit anxious, as if he was afraid she would refuse, and he seemed somewhat sincere.
Dominic was really good at pretending.
If she hadn't experienced it in her past life, she really wouldn't have been able to see how cruel and vile Dominic was.
But at that moment, Cecilia still agreed, "Okay."
Not for any particular reason, she just wanted to know what kind of scheme Dominic was up to this time and how disgusting he could be.
She also wanted to give Dominic no reason to bother her again.
Actually, Cecilia now found Dominic so disgusting that she couldn't even stand hearing his voice.
"I'll pick you up after work tonight," Dominic said joyfully.
"No need," Cecilia refused. "Give me the address, and I'll come by myself."
"Okay." Dominic didn't dare refuse Cecilia's request.
He was really being very cautious.
Back when they were together, it was always Cecilia who made concessions to Dominic.
Cecilia thought, 'Men really are naturally despicable creatures.'
After hanging up, Cecilia went back to work.
Near the end of the workday, her phone rang.
Cecilia was engrossed in handling a marketing plan and didn't look at the screen before answering, naturally assuming it was Dominic urging her to leave work, as Dominic wouldn't want to wait even a minute longer.
While looking at the screen, she said into the phone, "Dominic, I have some work to finish. I'll be off in a bit."
After speaking, she waited for a long time, but there was no response from the other side.
Cecilia suddenly felt something was off.
She quickly looked at her phone.
She saw the name "Alaric" on the screen.
She inexplicably felt like she had been caught cheating.
Cecilia gritted her teeth.
Alaric had been gone for two or three days, and except for calling her on her first day at work, he hadn't called again. Now, his sudden call was quite a shock.
Cecilia put the phone back to her ear. "It's you."
Her tone was very calm.
She was trying hard to maintain an attitude that she hadn't done anything wrong.
After all, their marriage was fake.
She didn't need to report her whereabouts to Alaric.
"Are you disappointed?" Alaric's voice was indifferent.
It was really hard to detect any emotion.
"What's up?" Cecilia deliberately ignored Alaric's previous comment and asked him casually.
Alaric replied, "Nothing."
Then he asked, "Are you going to meet Dominic?"
Cecilia replied, "I have some things to clarify with him."
"So you chose to talk at night," Alaric concluded, his tone still cold and indifferent.
Cecilia was a bit speechless. She explained, "I work during the day."
Alaric didn't respond for a long time.
Cecilia thought Alaric had hung up.
She couldn't help but check her phone to see if the call was still connected, then said into the phone, "When are you coming back?"
She was just trying to change the subject.
"Does it matter to you whether I come back or not?" Alaric asked.
It didn't matter.
But for some reason, Cecilia didn't say it out loud at that moment.
She felt that saying it would hurt Alaric.
After all, Alaric was very narcissistic.
"That's it then," Alaric didn't get an answer and didn't press further.
Then, he really hung up .
Cecilia looked at her phone, still a bit dazed.
Just now, Alaric's voice had a hint of helplessness.
Cecilia didn't let herself think too much about it.
After all, in her view, making a man like Alaric, who had been through countless women, fall in love with her was harder than making Dominic love her.
So, she didn't need to have any expectations for Alaric, and there was no possibility of being hurt.
On the other end of the line.
Serenovia City International Airport.
Cassius looked at Alaric, whose face was clearly a bit grim.
Wasn't he just happy a moment ago?
Why was he suddenly so angry now?
"Should I leave first? Are you waiting for Cecilia to pick you up?" Cassius asked.
It was Alaric who said they would go their separate ways after getting off the plane.
Alaric, with a stern face, walked straight out of the airport.
Cassius was speechless.
Ever since Alaric married Cecilia, he had become so moody!
At 8 PM.
Cecilia arrived at the restaurant address Dominic had sent her.
It was a high-end restaurant with an elegant environment.
She was led by the staff into a private room.
The view from the private room was excellent, with a large floor-to-ceiling window offering a panoramic view of Serenovia City's dazzling nightscape.
Cecilia had never dined with Dominic in such a high-end, romantic place before, especially not a candlelight dinner, and she had never made Dominic wait for her even once.
Every time they had a date, she would book the table in advance and wait for him.
His excuse for being late was always that he was too busy with work.
And she would always say it was okay, she had only waited a little while.
Now, making him wait for 2 hours, she wondered how he felt.
He was probably furious.
After all, in Dominic's mind, he always thought he was superior to her, whether in the past or now, and nothing could change his self-righteous sense of superiority.
Since he considered himself so noble, Cecilia making him wait so long must have infuriated him.
Of course, he could only endure it.
Cecilia even thought Dominic's smile at that moment was twisted.
She smiled gracefully, pretending not to notice anything, and said, "Sorry, I had a lot of work to finish, so I was delayed."
"It's okay, I am always willing to wait for you." Dominic instantly put on his most perfect facade, speaking with deep affection.
Cecilia responded to his affection with a faint smile, showing no emotional fluctuation.
Dominic suppressed his inner displeasure.
Did Cecilia really think she was that great?
How dare she make him wait so long!
How dare she remain indifferent when he spoke such affectionate words.
Dominic forced down his anger and pressed the service bell.
The waiter quickly brought their dinner.
"This is the top-grade veal steak, imported from Stellaria, only ten servings are available each day. Paired with the special mushroom sauce, it's very delicious. You should try it," Dominic said eagerly.
Cecilia smiled and said, "I'm allergic to mushrooms."
