Chapter 197: No longer useful
Scarlet sucked in a breath. Her eyes flickered subtly, but she controlled her heartbeat just in time before Dominic could catch her. With how sharp Dominic was, she knew that the man would sense something amiss in a matter of seconds.
"Yes, what about it?" Trying to keep her protectiveness to a bare minimum, she asked the man.
Dominic’s eyes narrowed down at the woman in front of him. He interlocked his fingers and placed them on the table before questioning, "Was it mere coincidence or something else?"
The tension in the room became palpable as Scarlet shifted on her feet. She carefully composed her face, but there were countless worries raging within her heart and body. Trying to keep her voice awfully casual, she asked the man, "And what else would it be?"
She glanced at Evelyn before stating in a supposed-to-be calm voice, "I don’t know what she has told you, but I just ran into that woman at the store and we talked a little. Why? Is there something else?"
"You mean to tell me that you never noticed the similarities between her and Inez?" Dominic pressed on even further, and when he spoke, his voice was low and controlled, but Scarlet could taste the storm that was raging within him.
"Similarities? Not at all." Scarlet had long adapted the art to lie. She pursed her lips when Dominic growled at her, but she didn’t falter at all. Instead, she continued to speak in a cold voice, "I don’t know what you are thinking, Dominic. But you need to understand that you need to stop looking for Inez in other women."
Bang!
Scarlet flinched slightly when Dominic banged his fist on the table. The man’s breathing turned ragged as he spoke in a tight voice, "You don’t need to tell me what I need to do."
