Chapter 3

Dominic pulled out his phone. "Scan me. Let me know whenever you need anything."

Clearly, Hunter had prepped him beforehand.

I ran a high-end, custom fashion design studio.

With Hunter's connections and my unique aesthetic, my studio quickly gained a reputation.

After a few red-carpet collaborations with celebrities went viral, my brand blew up.

Right now, I was the go-to independent designer for A-list celebrities.

But my ambition didn't stop there. I wanted to build my own commercial brand and launch it internationally.

"Olivia? Don't just stand there. Not everyone gets a chance to add Dominic on Snapchat."

Hunter's voice snapped me back to reality.

I blinked and saw Dominic holding his phone out to me, his QR code on display. His long, elegant fingers held the edge of the phone with effortless grace.

I took out my phone and scanned it.

*Ding.* Friend request accepted.

His profile picture was plain black, and his display name was just "Dominic Thorne."

There were no posts on his feed. Nothing.

I put my phone away. When I looked up, I caught him staring directly at my lips.

It was only for a second before he turned away.

But I still caught the slight smirk on his face.

Interesting.

I looked away and took a sip from my glass.

It was ice water.

Suddenly, he spoke up. "Change it to something else."

"Huh?"

"Ice water isn't great for your stomach."

He casually pushed a glass of warm water toward me.

I took a sip, hiding my smile.

When I pulled out my phone earlier, I had purposely let him see the tampons in my bag.

I had to admit, so far, this man was passing with flying colors.
