She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 1222

The fact that he was willing to sit beside her and share a meal was an absolute honor for Melanie.

Dominic kept pumping himself up mentally, yet he simply couldn't control his own eyes.

Much less his heart.

His gaze helplessly drifted toward Melanie over and over again.

Just a single glance at her was enough to send his heart racing.

And yet...

From the moment he sat down, Melanie hadn't looked at him once.

Dominic discreetly clenched his fists.

"Gavin, come sit over here!"

Dominic patted the empty space right next to him.

Looking thoroughly awkward, Gavin walked over and squeezed himself into the seat, trapped right between Melanie and Dominic.

Aria didn't leave either.

Despite her obvious reluctance, she dutifully took a seat at the table.

Although her current title was the Director of R&D at the Gavin Lockridge Medical Research Institute...

Compared to the General Manager and Vice President of the Lockridge Group, she was still a rank below them.

If the two top executives weren't leaving, how could she just walk out?

As a result, a table barely meant for four was suddenly crammed with six people.

Despite 'sitting down to eat together,' Dominic didn't order a single thing.

Aria kept her mouth tightly shut.

Gavin naturally remained completely silent.

Having just clawed his way back into the company, his father had instructed him to keep a low profile and bide his time.

His father had deliberately positioned him as Dominic's right-hand man.

On one hand, playing the subordinate made it easier to win Dominic's trust and get him to lower his guard.

On the other hand, it made monitoring Dominic and gathering intelligence vastly easier.

The old Gavin had been known around the office as a naive pushover.

But now...

The stakes were far too high for him to keep playing the fool.
