Chapter 207
Jane and Dominic officially settled down in Ceress Garden
Although Hector had already arranged everything, Jane still felt that she needed to personally decorate her home to make it feel complete.
So, during the few days when she finished her work at the newspaper and before she reported to Pursuit Media, she roamed the streets and alleys of the central city, buying many things.
All of it was paid for using Dominic’s card.
When Dominic was in a meeting, his phone kept vibrating non-stop, showing one transaction record after another.
He frowned slightly, but a hint of indulgent smile flashed in his eyes.
This little woman really knows how to shop; how come he didn’t notice that her shopping desires were so strong before?
At this rate, his own pocket money for the month would take a nosedive, and he might even end up like Aaron with not enough money to buy cigarettes.
Dominic’s heart skipped a beat!
The department director who was reporting on their work happened to glance up and saw his expression, and his heart started to panic, “Vi…Vice President?”
The director’s mouth twitched as he tried to force out a smile that looked more like crying. “Vice President, did I say something wrong?”
However, Dominic didn’t hear a word he said; his mind was filled with thoughts of his cigarette and money disappearing, cigarette and money disappearing..
No, this can’t happen!
He abruptly stood up and rushed out of the meeting room at the fastest speed.
The remaining people were all dumbfounded, and they turned their gazes to Assistant Finn.
“What’s wrong with Vice President?”
“Has something big happened in the company?”
“Could it be that the old master’s health is in danger?
“Tsk, tsk, tsk…”
Assistant Finn sighed helplessly, holding his forehead with one hand.
Just now, he clearly saw the transaction records on Dominic’s phone, and there was also a sweet smiley face sent by Jane with the message: “Darling, I’m only short of buying bedsheets!”
Yes… Darling.
That was Jane’s latest nickname for him.
Assistant Finn couldn’t help but shudder, and goosebumps covered his body.
Dominic drove the small car Jane bought for him straight to the mall.
This mall was not as luxurious as DL; In the vast central city, it could only be considered a second tier shopping center. Although it was under the Campbell family’s ownership, the Campbell family had
never taken it seriously. The mall’s general manager didn’t even have the qualification to attend the group meetings.
However, today, somehow, a gust of wind blew Dominic’s way, and he arrived here!
The manager was both surprised and delighted, and for a moment, he was at a loss, leading a group of people to welcome him at the entrance. Just as he was about to open the car door for Dominic, he was scared back by his cold command, “Don’t touch my car.”
“Heh, Vice…Vice President!” The manager forced a flattering smile, “I really didn’t expect you to visit. We haven’t prepared in advance, which is truly disrespectful!”
Dominic didn’t have time to deal with him and walked straight into the mall to find Jane.
Jane was browsing in the home supplies area, holding two types of essential oil diffusers in her hands and carefully comparing them. She asked the shop assistant about the differences between the two fragrances.
Having witnessed many times how Dominic struggled with insomnia late at night, sometimes half- awake to find him still concentrating on his computer to work on his projects, she felt especially heartbroken for him.
So she thought of using essential oils to help him relax and relieve stress.
After comparing the two options, she looked up and suddenly noticed that the bustling mall had become strangely quiet. Apart from the shop assistant and herself, there was no other customer on this floor.
Jane was curious when she heard familiar footsteps approaching from not far away.
When she saw the tall figure and sharply defined facial features of the man, she waved. enthusiastically, showing a smile from the depths of her heart.
“Why are you here?” She leaned in, acting all cute, and looked into his bright eyes. “Aren’t you. supposed to be in a meeting today?”
Dominic lowered his head.
She was of average height among girls, but in front of him, even standing on tiptoes, she could only reach his shoulder. He patted her head, his eyes showing a sparkle that only appeared when he saw her.
“If I don’t come, won’t I be left without any pocket money this month?” he chuckled softly.
“How could that be? I’ve set some aside for you!”
“Really?”
“Yeah… I’ve calculated it. You eat meals prepared at the company, so you don’t need to spend money. on food. I buy clothes for you, and now we live in Condominium, so no more rent to worry about. We’re living much better than in Cardiff!”
“In terms of food, clothing, and shelter, the only expenses are for transportation,” Jane counted on her fingers. “The car you’re driving now is fuel-efficient with a small engine, so I calculated that five hundred dollar for gas is enough for a month!”
“So…” She playfully took out five hundred dollar bills, waved them around, and then put them into his shirt pocket, patting it twice. “Here’s this month’s pocket money. Be thrifty!”
Dominic widened his eyes, furrowed his brow, and twitched the corners of his mouth. His expression looked strange, as if he didn’t know whether to cry or laugh
He truly had no more cigarette and money now!
He let out countless internal walls, but when he met Jane’s cute and lovely gaze, he could only force a smile.
“What’s wrong?” She looked at him with a slightly proud expression. “Do you have any objections to the amount I gave you?”
“No, no!” Dominic pursed his lips. “Um… is there still the matter of buying bed sheets?”
Jane nodded enthusiastically and took him to see the bed sheets.
Dominic touched the money in his suit pocket, quickly heating up the five hundred dollar bills. It seemed like he had to drive less this month or maybe ask Sebastian to send a driver?
Anyway, he had to find a hiding spot for the five hundred dollar!
“Aaron, I have something to ask you.”
The next day, Dominic called Aaron into his office.
However, Aaron didn’t look very energetic either. As soon as he entered, he slumped onto the sofa, his lifeless eyes staring at the ceiling.
Dominic narrowed his eyes. “What’s wrong? Is the company not doing well?”
After asking, he felt it was unlikely because Abbey Entertainment Production had been thriving lately. It had released several successful movies, and their artists were dominating the variety shows. Aaron must be earning a lot of money.
Oh…. he instantly guessed what it was about.
Even if Aaron was carning a lot, it had nothing to do with him!
Thinking of this, Dominic couldn’t help but smile mischievously.
Aaron glanced at him, nearly rolling his eyes to the heavens.
“Right, you said you had something to ask me?”
Dominic paused. Asking about how to save up money privately seemed pointless when it came to Aaron.
Aaron smirked, as if he could tell what he was thinking.
“Well, it looks like you’re no better than me!” He patted Dominic’s shoulder. “Although I’ve never succeeded in keeping a secret stash, I do have some failed experiences to share with you!”
“Forget it,” Dominic glanced at him.
“Failure is the mother of success, you know!” Aaron laughed. “By avoiding my mistakes, you’ll succeed next time!”
Dominic pondered for a moment, then shook his head solemnly.
Why bother hiding a private stash? He didn’t want to compete with Jane over that! Whether she gave him three hundred or five hundred, he would gladly accept it. He enjoyed the feeling of being taken care of by her.
Both of them, willingly giving and receiving, was the most beautiful aspect of their love.
“Alright,” Aaron shrugged. “If you don’t want to listen, never mind. But you still have to help me with what we agreed on last timelTM Dominic was taken aback. “What?”
