Chapter 15 - Dominic Explains Why He Let Vivien Get Drenched
Dominic laced his fingers together over his stomach, studying Khloe’s fiery expression with intense fascination.
“You told me you had crippling medical debt left behind by your mother,” Dominic said calmly.
“That doesn’t give you the right to play savior with my life behind my back!” Khloe fired back angrily.
“I didn’t buy you, Khloe. I removed an anchor that was holding you down while people like Vivien stepped on your neck,” Dominic replied.
Khloe’s anger faltered slightly under the weight of his words, though her stubborn pride refused to break.
“I wanted to earn my freedom myself, not take handouts from a mafia boss running ports in South Boston,” Khloe muttered.
“Then consider it a signing bonus for the logistics manager position I offered you last night,” Dominic countered smoothly.
“I never agreed to work for you!” Khloe protested, though her voice lacked its earlier fiery conviction.
“You’re smart, you’re observant, and you don’t take crap from anyone,” Dominic said, standing up from his desk.
