Called Off the Wedding, Left Him Bankrupt novel Chapter 98

If he didn't want to save her, well—she could hardly blame him.

The man's slender, elegant hand reached out, fingers curling under her chin. He leaned in close, his handsome face mere inches from hers, his breath warm against her skin.

"You really don't have the best taste in men, do you?"

"You… you can't just insult someone like that!" Cynthia stayed perfectly still, barely daring to breathe.

She had to admit, the man before her was so strikingly handsome it made her heart skip a beat and her cheeks flush.

Dominic let out a low, amused laugh.

With their breaths mingling in the charged space between them, Cynthia's lashes trembled involuntarily.

If she'd never met Father Benedict, maybe she would have already fallen for the man in front of her…

The thought darted through her mind, and she quickly looked away from Dominic's gaze.

She almost blamed the heady scent of the candles burning in the room for making her lose her senses.

Dominic seemed to be in a better mood now, releasing her chin.

Cynthia caught the hint of a smile on his lips, and before she could stop herself, she blurted out, "Mr. Holloway, just give Tremaine Holdings a chance."

All Tremaine Holdings needed was a single opportunity.

Dominic lowered his eyes to her, a faint, unreadable smile tugging at his lips. "I just saved you, and now you want to cash in on that favor straight away?"

Cynthia's cheeks flamed at his words, and she offered an awkward, embarrassed smile.

He didn't give her a clear answer—no promises, but no outright refusal either. Instead, he simply gave her a lingering look before striding off.

Cynthia, swallowing her pride, hurried after him into the elevator.

Assistant Shaw trailed behind at a leisurely pace, letting out the occasional dramatic sigh. "Honestly, you're so easy to please."
