The Daring Billionaire’s Wife novel (Vanessa and Dominic) novel Chapter 108

Dominic

Frank's suggestion sounds so perfect that it makes me smile for a moment as I nod but only a few seconds later, I shake my head with a frown.

"Are you sure this is going to work?" I ask.

"You obviously can't do this here at the party but trust me, this has to work," he says to me.

"Why are you so sure?"

"Just so we're clear, I'm not saying Vanessa's going to forgive you, but it's going to be a start and that's what we want, right?"

I sigh. "I guess you could say that."

"I'm glad we're on the same page. Now, when the opportunity presents itself, that's when you're going to do it."

I nod, patting him on the back as I say, "Once again, you've proven to be of good use to me."

"And one of these days, you'll also be of good use to me. Now, let's just go and order that food. You know the gorgeous ladies are waiting!"

As we make our way back to the rest of the crowd, I glance at our table and Vanessa is still taking shots like crazy.

"I admit that I love seeing Vanessa like this," Frank says. "At the same time, all that whiskey is going to fuck her up but hey, no big deal because you're here."

"She doesn't even want me to take care of her."

"But you know that it doesn't matter because at the end of the day, you'll still be right there taking care of her. Honestly if I were her, I wouldn't even be here right now. In fact, I would've gone far away!"

"Then it's a good thing you're not her."

He chuckles, then suddenly turns serious. "Hey, what are you going to do about Carmella?"

"What do you mean?"

"Are you just going to let her get away with this?"

"You know that she did that just to get my attention and I won't give it to her. I'll just focus on what I have to do for Vanessa just so she's not upset with me anymore."

As we make the order for the food, Frank smacks the side of my arm using his elbow and I furrow my eyebrows.

"Why the hell did you do that?" I ask.

"Look at that," he says with a smirk, tilting his head to the side to guide my gaze to our table

I look over and Vanessa's still in her seat, swaying to the music as she drops her head from left to right. The other girls cheer her on as they dance with her and it's actually such a pleasant sight to see.

After ordering the food, Frank and I make our way back to the table and she looks right at me, still swaying in her spot.

"Come on! Just get up and dance!" the other girls cheer her on.

"Not yet!" She shakes her head with a chuckle.

Just as I sit beside her, she lazily takes two shots and is completely focused on the music and the alcohol. That's why I don't even bother getting too close because I know she'll just move away again.

The food arrives only a few minutes later on a large platter and we all dig in. Vanessa and I reach for the same kebab at the same time and she shoots me a glare, making me instantly give it up for her.

While she focuses on her food, she stops taking shots but even if she doesn't take another one, she's already extremely drunk.

After eating for a while, she lightly shimmies her shoulders with a giggle, looking right at the other girls who are doing the same thing. She even has the same expression as she looks at Frank but as soon as she looks at me, her expression turns blank.

Then, she finally gets up and starts dancing, the other girls cheering her on by clapping. Having her right next to me makes me look right at her side profile, my gaze fixed on the deepest part of her waist and the perfect curve of her ass. I look over at Frank and he's watching her too while stroking his chin.

She closes her eyes while dancing in place like she doesn't give a fuck about anything in the world and while she's trying to have a good time, I can tell that she's almost losing her balance, so I keep a close watch on her, the sight of her figure right next to me making me bite my lip.

She starts dancing while moving away from the rest of us, her balance already unsteady and I'm alert, trying to make sure that she doesn't fall.

Even as everyone cheers her on, I glance at Frank again and he can see how concerned I am, so he gives me a light nod to go for it and stay close to her.
