Called Off the Wedding, Left Him Bankrupt novel Chapter 195

Sabina caught a subtle shift in Dominic's expression, something out of the ordinary. She hurried over, keyed in the password, and opened the door to his office, standing respectfully at the threshold.

She could only hope Dominic wouldn't hold her oversight against her.

Honestly, it hadn't occurred to her that Cynthia would need the door opened, nor had she realized just how much Dominic valued Cynthia.

Cynthia's attention was drawn by Sabina's brisk approach. Noticing Dominic nearby, she straightened up, matching Sabina's suddenly formal demeanor.

What's going on?

The atmosphere felt oddly tense, almost stifling.

Her desk was closest to Dominic's office; if he was in a bad mood today, would she be the first to get caught in the crossfire?

Cynthia was uneasy, but Sabina seemed even more on edge.

Thankfully, when Dominic stepped into the office, he said nothing.

Cynthia breathed a silent sigh of relief—she noticed Sabina doing the same.

Their synchronized expressions and body language made them both pause, and then they exchanged an awkward little smile.

Once Dominic was inside, Sabina gave Cynthia a polite gesture, inviting her to go in first.

Cynthia, ever courteous, insisted Sabina go ahead.

For a few seconds, they stood there, each waiting for the other. Suddenly, Dominic—who was a few steps ahead—stopped. Sabina quickly grabbed Cynthia's arm and ushered her inside.

Dominic glanced back at them. Instantly, both women straightened up, standing to the side with professional smiles.

"……"

Seizing the moment, Cynthia whispered,

"I still have some materials to review, so I'll get back to work."

With that, she hurried to her own desk.

Seeing Cynthia disappear behind a partition, Sabina had no choice but to steel herself and go report to Dominic.
