Youve always been so competitive , he said with a faint sigh She lowered her head , feigning embarrassment .
She knew his words meant he had forgiven her .
She replied .
Well , what can I do ? With someone as outstanding as you by my side , how could I not want to do my best ? Her tone turned playful .
her mood visibly lighter .
Marissa pondered .
I knew it .
With the bond I share with Dominick , theres no way hed stay mad at me over something like this .
Besides , Im the one who got hurt today .
Hes probably upset because I lied .
Now that Ive admitted my mistake , he wont keep giving me the cold shoulder .
With that settled .
Marissa glanced around the venue again .
The way people were looking at her had changed , becoming more intense and curious .
And that was exactly the reaction she wanted Earlier , when Marissa had been talking to Dominick , she had deliberately leaned in closer .
No one else knew what they had discussed , but her alternating expressions shy and demure one moment , playful and laughing the next left plenty of room for speculation .
Dominick , who had been keeping a straight face earlier , eventually broke into a resigned expression after hearing a few of her words .
To the onlookers , his exasperated look seemed tinged with affection .
With that in mind , everyone present became even more convinced of the rumors circulating online .
They figured it wouldnt be long before the two of them tied the knot .
Dom Nathaniel raised his glass as he walked over to Dominick .
He greeted Dominick with a friendly pat on the shoulder , acting like an old friend who hadnt seen him in ages .
What do you think ? Pretty nice place Ive got here , huh ? Dominick glanced at the spot Nathaniel had just patted and indifferently replied , Its alright Nathaniel grinned with a mischievous air .
Man , youre impossible to please .
Dominick raised an eyebrow slightly but didnt deny it .
Back in school , Dominick and Nathaniel were like polar opposites .
Dominick was the top achiever , a model student excelling in every area .
Dominick insisted on perfections everything he did .
leaving no room for error or failure .
The only failure in his life , as far as he was concerned , was his marriage to Paisley Nathaniel , on the other hand , was the exact opposite .
His grades were consistently among the worst , and he was infamous for his mischievous ways .
With no goals or direction , he lived life on a whim , free spirited and untamed .
He had never done anything with real effort this club marked his first attempt at something serious .
Marissa smiled warmly and greeted Nathaniel .
Its been a while , Nathaniel * || Nathaniel barely spared her a glance , giving h her a dismissive nod .
Yeah .
At his reaction , Marissas smile froze , her face stiffening .
She was painfully aware of all the eyes on them .
With everyone watching , Nathaniel had just completely snubbed her , leaving her humiliated .
Nathaniel turned back to Dominick with a curious look .
I saw the news about you two .
When are you guys going to get married ? Nathaniel couldnt for the life of him understand how Dominick , of all people , could be into Marissa .
After all , Nathaniel had written her off back in high school .
Dominick frowned and was about to explain that the news was fake when Nathaniels attention suddenly shifted .
Nathaniels expression lit up like hed just spotted a rare treasure .
He broke into a wide grin , waving his arms enthusiastically .
Oh , thats my mentor .
Over here , Ms.
Sutton .
