Called Off the Wedding, Left Him Bankrupt novel Chapter 80

Cynthia pressed her lips together, then spoke in a soft voice.

"Mr. Holloway…"

Dominic looked up at her, his gaze warm but shadowed by emotions Cynthia couldn't quite decipher.

As she remembered the question she was about to ask, an irrepressible smile tugged at her lips.

"So, that game last night—are you seriously telling me it was the system playing for you after you fell asleep?"

The warmth in Dominic's eyes cooled in an instant. Cynthia had her answer already; she grinned, spun on her heel, and strode away.

Who said he was the only one allowed to make fun of her for her poor taste? Why couldn't she laugh at his lackluster gaming skills?

He'd have his turn to tease her in a few days anyway, so she might as well get her laughs in first.

"Let me see the contract."

Benedict's jaw tensed as frustration flashed in his eyes.

"So, you didn't close the deal either, did you? Then what are you so smug about?"
