Jewel nodded. “That’s right!”
She had received Autumn’s call the night before, and the weight that had pressed on her heart finally eased.
“All right, let’s continue yesterday’s topic,” Dominic said. “Has Zachary contacted you?”
“He has,” Jewel replied. “We’re meeting at noon today.”
Dominic raised an eyebrow. “That soon?”
Jewel bit her lip. “He still wants to talk to me about buying into JewelMed. You… want to come with me?”
Dominic smiled. That was exactly why he had asked Jewel to come see him in the first place.
Both emotionally and logically, he should go. Put simply, he was now the chairman of JewelMed. Since Zachary still had designs on the company, he could not pretend ignorance.
“All right,” Dominic said. “I’ll go with you.”
A flicker of joy crossed Jewel’s face. “Okay.”
By noon, they headed out together.
Dominic said, “Let’s take my car.”
Sitting in his old vehicle, Jewel smiled. “Dominic, this car doesn’t really match your current status anymore. Why not change to a new one? Put it on the company account.”
Dominic rested his hand on the familiar steering wheel. “I’ve driven this car for years. I’m used to it. That said, the company really should purchase a few luxury cars. Image matters sometimes.”
Jewel said nothing more. His words made her realize he truly considered the company’s interests rather than personal gain. The thought put her at ease.
In less than 20 minutes, they arrived at Skyline City Plaza.
After parking, Dominic instinctively glanced in one direction. That was where Lydia’s law firm was located. He recalled his last visit and grew thoughtful.
“What are you looking at, Dominic?” Jewel asked, curious.
Dominic pulled his gaze back and shook his head. “Nothing.”
They walked into the plaza and stopped in front of a lavishly decorated building. Jewel paused. “This is the place.”
Dominic looked up at the sign that read Grand Horizon, then followed her inside.
They were led to a private room,
Zachary was already waiting. When he saw jewel, his eyes lit up. He stood and walked over. “Jewel, I finally managed to get you
out here. Come on in.”
Jewel nodded and turned to Dominic. “Mr. Fleming, let’s go in ”
In private, she called him Dominic. Outside, she always addressed him as “Mr. Fleming.”
When Zachary noticed Dominic at her side, he froze for a moment. A cold glint flashed through his eyes.

Once they were seated, several delicate cold dishes already waited on the table.
Zachary said, “Jewel, I wasn’t sure what you’d like, so I didn’t order ahead of time. Here’s the menu. Take a look.”
He handed it to her.
She waved it away with a smile. “No need to be so formal, Zachary. Order whatever you think is fine.”
