Chapter 20: Hero
[ Starlight Group CEO’s Office... ]
Sasha entered Dominique’s office. But to her surprise, he wasn’t there in his usual spot.
"Where is he? Did he attend a meeting?" Sasha asked Ashton and Dominique’s secretary who had just stepped inside the room.
"He doesn’t have a meeting, Madam," the secretary responded.
"In his napping room," Ashton butted in, his forefinger pointing at the door leading to Dominique’s private chamber.
Sasha swiftly approached the door, eager to see her husband’s gorgeous face. She had missed him so much.
On the other hand, Ashton signaled the secretary to go back to her station, giving the married couple privacy. Ashton also exited the office. ’Sigh. I hope Dominique has sobered up by now.’ he anxiously watched Sasha as she entered the napping room.
Inside the room, Sasha saw Dominique’s sleeping figure lying on his comfy bed. Her expression softened, a gentle smile playing at the corners of her lips, while a trace of longing shimmered in her eyes.
"He must be exhausted from work..." Sasha murmured with a helpless shake of her head. She slowly traced her steps toward the bed.
As she drew closer, she noticed the deep crease etched on his forehead. A pang of empathy washed over Sasha as she observed him, her fingers instinctively reaching out to brush a lock of hair from his forehead.
