Chapter 209

Dominic was taken aback and turned to look at her.

The young woman’s hair was slightly messy, with a hint of cuteness in her just-woken-up appearance.

If it weren’t for the pile of official matters that the Campbell family still had to deal with, he would have

wanted to be impulsive once again….

“Are you sure you want to bring me lunch?” he asked.

Jane nodded seriously, not catching the meaning behind his words.

The corner of the man’s lips curved into a smirk.

“Okay,” he said softly. “I’ll be waiting for you at noon.”

By noon, he didn’t know if he should have lunch first or have her first…

As soon as Dominic left the house, Jane started busy in the kitchen.”

After cleaning inside and out, Aunt Flora was suddenly drawn in by a delightful fragrance. She went to

take a look and saw that Jane had skillfully prepared the meal and was about to put it in a thermal

container.

“What are you making, Miss Jane?” Aunt Flora asked curiously, “It smells delicious; I’m sure it will be

tasty!”

Jane smiled and handed her a piece of sweet and sour spare ribs on a plate.

Aunt Flora was initially hesitant to take it, but after Jane insisted, she finally took a bite. The taste was

just right – tangy and sweet, not greasy, and perfectly cooked.

Aunt Flora smiled and sighed, “I’ve lived for so many years, and my cooking skills can’t compare to

yours!

“I’ll cook for you more often in the future!”

“That won’t do!” Aunt Flora was frightened, “The young master has allowed me to stay and take care of

all of you; I’m already grateful enough. How could I let you cook for me? It should be the other way

around… I should be the one taking care of you all.”

“Aunt Flora,” Jane looked at her calmly.

Seeing her, Jane couldn’t help but think of her own mother, an abused old woman who had lived a

lonely and miserable life. She had suffered enough; she couldn’t let her live her later years in misery.

“You don’t need to be so formal with me,” Jane held her hand, “Our family doesn’t have so many rules,

and besides, you are an elder. Uncle Sebastian watched Dominic grow up, so we should respect you.”

“Aunt Flora,” Jane said, her voice choked.

She hadn’t expected to meet such a good family in her life.

Since it was the case, she would devote herself wholeheartedly to taking care of this young couple. “By

the way,” Aunt Flora wiped her moist eyes, looked at Jane carefully, and smiled softly, “Miss Jane, you

really have the aura of a queen; I didn’t lie about that!”

Jane pursed her lips and continued packing the lunch.

“It’s true!” Aunt Flora said solemnly, “You must believe it! I’ve been in this line of work for years, mostly

deceiving people for money, but I’ve also learned a bit about reading people’s physiognomy…

My li

Miss Jane, your face truly signifies immense wealth and nobility… you can even be called a hoble

lady!”

“Yes, you do have the aura of a queen!” Aunt Flora wrinkled her brow and thought hard, “But a queen’s

fortune depends on her husband, while your destiny seems to rely on your own abilities, your family…”

“Alright!” Jane laughed, “Aunt Flora, you’re getting more mystical the more you say!”

Regardless of whether it’s the aura of a queen or a noble lady, she didn’t care about any of it.

All she cared about was Dominic and whether they had a destined future together.

“Aunt Flora, I’ll go to his company now. If you’re not busy after finishing your work, take a rest at home

or go out for a stroll, okay?” Jane smiled sweetly, “I’m sorry, I only made lunch for him, can you handle

your own lunch?”

“That’s fine!” Aunt Flora eagerly agreed. “But I can’t wander around; I need to stay here to watch the

house! Miss Jane, you don’t know, but a few days ago, I noticed someone lurking around our house

sneakily!”

“Is that so?” Jane was startled.

After Aunt Flora mentioned it, she did remember seeing a dark figure passing by the garden one night.

She was startled at the time but later wondered if it was just her imagination, so she didn’t investigate

further..

But this is Ceress Garden, it belongs to the White family’s territory, and the relationship between the

White family and the Campbell family is well known. Who would dare to act so boldly?

“I see,” Jane bit her lip, “Aunt Flora, please keep an eye out. If there’s really someone causing trouble,

don’t confront them directly. Try to contact the security department or call the police. Understand?”

“Rest assured, Miss Jane! I’ve been around the block for a long time, and I have some common

sense.”

Jane nodded and immediately left the house.

Dominic once gave her a special access card that didn’t require booking through the front desk, and

with this card, she could enter any room in the building.

Using this card, she took the exclusive elevator all the way to the top floor.

As she was about to enter his office, she suddenly heard some noise from inside.

“…That’s pretty much the gist of it. Also, take a look at these reports.”

Jane was taken aback.

The voice sounded familiar, like… Miss arrogant Miranda.

So, Miranda was in his office?

No wonder she had sent him several messages on the way, and he hadn’t replied to any of them.

“Dominic,” Miranda’s voice weakened, “I’ve also prepared everything for the signing ceremony with

France this week.”

Dominic didn’t respond.

“I’m doing all of this for you,” she said, sounding aggrieved. “Now we can work together, and I cherish

this opportunity even more… Dominic, do you really want me to cut open my heart for you to see?”

“Fine, as long as you nod, I’ll cut open my heart for you!”

Disgusting!

Jane took a deep breath. She absolutely trusted her own man’s character, but just because Dominic

was indifferent to outsiders didn’t mean others wouldn’t try to get his attention!

She gritted her teeth, and her small hand holding the thermal lunchbox tightened, her knuckles turning

white.

Yet, Dominic still didn’t respond.

Behind the closed door, Jane could easily imagine Miranda’s soft and alluring expression… just

thinking about it made her heart ache.

“What did you just say?” After a moment of silence in the room, Dominic’s deep voice suddenly

sounded.

“Ah, I said…” Miranda hurriedly spoke, “I said the West Suburb plot project has started, and several

responsible persons have already submitted the planning documents and budget reports…”

“Not those.”

Dominic put down the pen in his hand, crossed his arms, and looked at her with a semi-smile on his

face.

Miranda met his deep gaze, her heart fluttering, and she smiled while brushing her long hair. “Is it about

the signing ceremony with France? I’ll be attending with you. Oh, I found a French translator, very

professional…”

Dominic shook his head, curved his lips, indicating that what he had just said was not it either.

“That is…” Miranda’s eyes wandered, “Dominic, is it the part about me cutting open my heart for you to

see?”

“Yes, exactly!”

“Dominic, you…

Miranda couldn’t contain her joy.

He had been looking down at the documents, and she thought he hadn’t paid attention to what she

said, but he had actually listened!

So she took the opportunity to confess: “Dominic, I really can do it! I can do anything for you. If you

want to see my heart, I can show it to you!”

“Really?” the man raised an eyebrow.

“Absolutely!”

“Alright.”

Dominic casually opened a drawer, took out a folding knife from inside, and threw it onto the table. with

a bang!

Miranda’s heart trembled, and the cold light of the blade Dashed. Her hair stood on end, and she

unconsciously took a few steps back.

Dominic smiled, and with a low and magnetic voice, he lightly said three words:

“Go for it.”
