Chapter 124 How Does He Know I did not think much and told him the whole story about how Shannon and I ended up in the resort.
A moment later, Dominic let out a chuckle. âThanks for being honest.â
Upon hearing that, I was stunned momentarily, as he sounded like he already knew where I was.
As I was trying to clear my thought, I heard him speaking again. âOpen the door now.â
âThe door? Which door?â I could not wrap my head around it.
He asked me back with a hint of teasing in his tone. âWhat do you think?â
Sitting up on my bed, my eyes locked on the door of my room. Does he mean this door?
Hesitating for a moment, I heard Dominic impatiently tone again. âHurry up. Are you asleep again?â
Only then did I come back to my sense. Jumping down from my bed, I ran towards the door.
I opened the door swiftly and saw Dominic standing outside with a wide grin on his face.
âHi.â
He waved at me and entered the room as though it was his house.
Stunned momentarily, I abruptly closed the door and began interrogating him. âHow did you know Iâm here?â
Before he could answer, I let out a suspicious scream. âYouâre stalking me!â
âDo I need to do that?â
Dominic shot me a disdainful glance.
With that, I furrowed my brows. âThen, how did you find this place?â
Right then, he leaned lazily on the bed. âStop flattering yourself. I didnât come here purposely to find you.
Iâm here for work, and I ran into Shannon coincidentally.â
So Shannon was the one who told you the room number.
Upon hearing that, I got even more confused as I thought Shannon detested Dominic. She had told me numerous times to forget about him.
I could not figure out why she would give him our room number.
At that instant, my phone on the bed suddenly rang. It was Shannon.
Right after I picked up the phone, she uttered excitedly, âLiliana, guess who I met just now?â
She did not give me the chance to reply while she kept on talking. âI met Dominic at the party. But I did not talk to him. Liliana, you should stay in your room. Or else you might run into that jack*ss.â
I froze on my spot. âYou said you didnât talk to him?â
Shannon replied firmly, âYeah. I didnât want to ruin the party. If I werenât with Quinn, I fear I would have approached Dominic and slapped him in his face.â
So if Shannon did not tell Dominic the room number, how the h*ll did he know which room I was in?
Before I could figure it out, Shannon spoke again, âBy the way, he was with a beauty. I wonder whoâs that next victim of his.â
A beauty. The first guess that came to my mind was Camille.
With that, I instinctively cast Dominic a glance. So the two of them came to work together.
âLiliana, listen to me and stay in your room. Quinnâs here. Iâm hanging up now.â
âAlright, I got it.â
Hanging up the phone, I stared at Dominic rigidly. âShannon did not tell you our room number.â
Upon hearing that, Dominic shrugged his shoulder indifferently. âI didnât say it was her.â
I regarded him with suspicion. Why is he constantly beating around the bush and never getting to the point?
âI know the man thatâs with Shannon. I got the number from him.â
Dominic replied casually, but I was left in befuddlement. How the h*ll did he know Quinn too?
Just then, a thought came to my mind. Since Shannon is serious about getting into a relationship with Quinn, maybe I should ask Dominic about Quinn, trying to know him better.
With that, I decided to play nice with Dominic. I walked over and sat beside him. âSo, are you close with Quinn? What is he like?â
Dominic looked at me with a half-smile on his face. âAre you curious about him?â
I nodded right away, eager to get some information from Dominic. âA little. Just tell me what you know about him.â
Even though I knew I should not blindly believe everything that others said, I guessed Dominic would probably not be lying in this matter.
Yet, he was staring at me without saying anything. What does he want?
I impatiently pushed him a few times. âSpeak nowâ¦Ouch! Dominic!â
Before I could react, he leaned towards me and bit my lips.
Beyond exasperated, I shouted, âAre you a dog? Why did you bite me?â
A second later, he charged towards me again. I responsively leaned backward and covered my mouth with both hands.
The next second, my whole body fell onto the bed.
Grabbing the timing ideally, Dominic pressed me down with his hands. I panicked and started blocking him with my hands.
This room belonged to Shannon and me. Thus, I would not want anything shameful to happen here.
At that moment, I was confounded. Werenât we talking about Quinn? How did it become like this?
âPlease behave yourself. I merely want to know about Quinn. Letâs talk properly, okay?â
At that instant, Dominicâs eyes flashed with a hint of envy. âWhy do you keep mentioning Quinn? Are you interested in him? I thought Shannonâs with him. Are you trying to betray your good friend?â
I was at a loss. What nonsense is he talking about?
âAre you out of your mind? How could I possibly be interested in him? Iâm asking for Shannonâs sake as I want to know if heâs a good man.â
I really could not comprehend how Dominicâs brain worked.
To my puzzlement, Dominic suddenly let go of me and stood up.
âQuinnâs not a good person. Youâd better warn Shannon to keep her distance from him.â
Upon hearing that, I jumped out from the bed and grabbed his arm. âAre you serious? Is he a bad person?â
âBelieve it or not, itâs up to you. Iâm leaving now. I still have another errand. Liliana, youâd better stay here and donât wander around.â
Dominic left the room abruptly upon finishing his sentence.
Enraged, I threw a pillow towards the closed door.
D*mn it! How could you come and leave as you like? What errand is so urgent? Itâs just Camille.
After collecting myself for a while, I figured I should give Shannon a warning call about Quinn.
The moment I picked up my phone, I received a message.
