Chapter 15: Disliking me
[Zhu Mansion]
There was a knock on the door that made the pen stop moving. Dominic snapped his eyes up and watched a man in a suit enter the office. The man bowed as soon as he closed the door behind him and then walked toward Dominic's desk.
"Master, Miss Shen is here," the man quietly announced. "She said she wants to see you."
"At this hour?" Dominic asked ridiculously. He then checked his wristwatch. It was already past dinner. "What does she want?" he asked.
The man pressed his lips into a thin line. He looked annoyed by the sudden intrusion. "She said it was important."
"I don't need her to report to me again since her friend and I are separating," Dominic trailed off as his brows rose. Did something happen? He thought. "Sure. Let her in."
"Yes, sir."
The man did as he was told and immediately left the room. Meanwhile, Dominic rose from the swivel chair from behind the table. He walked a few steps to the table, where a decanter of whiskey and an empty glass were waiting for him. As he waited for his wife's friend, Dominic poured himself a glass of whiskey.
'I heard she visited Heaven this afternoon,' he recalled the report he received from one of his men earlier this afternoon. 'I guess this was about the divorce.'
