An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 645

The next morning, at Nicholson Corp., Dahlia woke up groggily and found herself lying on the sofa of her office. She was covered with a thick blanket, and there was even a steaming glass of milk on the table beside her.

Last night's events were still fuzzy to her, and she rubbed her head, which was throbbing slightly in pain. Feeling parched, she picked up the glass of milk and finished it in one go. It made her feel warm inside, giving her a slight relief from the discomfort she was feeling.

"Dahlia, you're awake." At that moment, Dustin walked in with the breakfast that he had just bought.

"Why are you here?" Dahlia's brows creased into a frown, and her expression turned cold.

"I didn't know where you lived, so I brought you back to your office for the night." As he was talking, he took out a takeaway container with a full English breakfast inside as well as a bowl of chicken soup.

"I'm asking why you are here?" Dahlia asked in exasperation.

"Have you forgotten about what happened last night?" Dustin was confused.

"Last night?" Dahlia recollected her thoughts, and last night's events became clearer. She remembered being drugged and found herself tied up when she woke up. Her kidnapper had intended to threaten Dustin with her, but it seemed like their plan had failed.

"It's alright if you don't remember. The drug is still in your system, so you'll feel groggy for the time being. Here, eat up first." Dustin passed the steaming hot chicken soup to Dahlia.

"Go away! I don't need you putting on an act here!" Dahlia was ruthless as she slapped the bowl of chicken soup to the ground. Her tone was frosty as she said, "Don't think I'll be grateful to you just because you saved my life last night, you murderer!" She couldn't act like nothing had happened when her brother passed away a few days ago.

Dustin shook his head. "Dahlia, your brother's death has nothing to do with me."

"They saw you! My mother saw you! Are you telling me they are lying?" Dahlia bellowed.
