Chapter 103 They didnt need too many people watching over Paul through the night .
Besides Paisley , they just needed one more person from the Vanderbilt The Vanderbilts were still debating who should stay overnight to watch over Paul when Dominick cut straight through their discussion .
Til stay , No need to arrange anyone else Dom , you cant stay here .
Marissa protested quickly .
Youve got that board meeting tomorrow .
You need proper rest .
Dominick shook his head .
The meeting can wait Marissa felt uneasy about leaving Dominick and Paisley here alone .
Sure , nothing would happen , but she just didnt want them spending time together , just the two of them .
came up with an idea Look , Dom , why dont I stay y instead ! Ms.
Sutton and I are both women .
Itll be more practical Marissa quickly cam No need .
Go home and get some rest Without another word .
Dominick walked straight into the hospital room , effectively shutting out the rest of the Vanderbilt family .
Paisley couldnt care less what arrangements the Vanderbilts were making out there .
She was exhausted , so she just dragged her backpack into Pauls VIP room .
The space was massive , decked out like a luxury suite with every amenity one could think of Paisley dropped her bag and collapsed onto the sofa against the wall , letting her eyes fall shut .
Within minutes , she was asleep .
Her body slumped against the sofas backrest , head drooping forward .
Under her messy ponytail , the elegant curve of her neck peeked through .
smooth and delicate .
Her long lashes fluttered slightly , giving away that her sleep wasnt exactly peaceful This was the scene Dominick walked in on .
He stood there , watching Paisley in silence .
Paisley had only just dored off and wasnt fully under yet .
Through the hare of sleep , she vaguely sensed someone touching her .
Her eyes snapped open , meeting Dominicks gaze just as he was about to help her lie down .
The room was absolutely silent except for their breathing If youre going to sleep , at least do it properly ? Dominick said , his brow furrowing in mild annoyance .
Paisley pushed him away coldly and straightened up .
Why are you the one staying here Her ice queen act made Dominick laugh darkly .
Why shouldnt Thats my grandpa lying there .
Paisley just shrugged , her voice dripping with indifference .
And Marissa was okay with this ? She knew better .
Marissa would never willingly let her and Dominick be alone together .
Marissa should have fought tooth and nail to prevent it and let herself stay here .
That would be more like her What are you trying to say ? Dominick frowned .
Nothing Paisley wasnt in the mood to keep this conversation going with Dominick .
All I want is one peaceful evening without any drama .
So do me a favor and keep your distance , you and your precious Ms.
Prescott both just leave me alone .
Paisley , can can you try not being difficult for once ? Dominick was getting frustrated .
Im being perfectly reasonable , Paisley said calmly .
Her face remained calm , but her words were driving Dominick absolutely crazy Fed up .
Dominick stood and moved to the couch by the window , with Pauls hospital bed now between them .
Want me to keep my distance ? Is this far enough for you He knew he was being petty , but he couldnt help it .
Paisley didnt even bother responding .
She just closed her eyes and tried to rest The hospital room fell silent again .
They sat there facing each other from opposite sides of the room , neither one willing to break the heavy silence that had seeded between them .
Sometime later , a doctor on duty knocked and entered the room .
