Dominic reached for his phone as the notification bell rang


    The moment he clicked on the video Calvert had sent him, a clip paired with a romantic song yed on his screen.


    Gerard, who was setting the table for breakdast beside him, chockded and said, "This song is pretty..."


    Before he could finish, he looked up and saw Dominic''s expression, which looked like it was ready to freeze the entire ce. He immediately thought the song was scary instead of romantic.


    "Let''s eat downstairs," Dominic said.


    He turned off his phone and strutted out of his hotel room,


    as if he were ready to kill


    Gerard wasn''t sure if Dominic was heading to battle or just to breakdast, and he was still confused about the song Dominic had yed on fils phone.


    While still puzzled by the entire situation, his phone buzzed. He looked and saw a video Calvert had sent to him.


    When he clicked to view it, the same song from before yed and echoed through the hallway. He cursed under his breath for making such a stupid mistake and quickly turned it oft


    Dominic had clearly heard it and paused mid-step, without turning his head, he extended his hand, gesturing for Gerard to hajd him his phone.


    "Give it here," he said firmly.


    "I just got this "Cerard muttered.


    Despite not being happy about it, he handed over his phone.


    Without a word, Dominic deleted the video and returned the phone. He continued walling, his eyes narrowing


    Gerard quickly put his phone back in his pocket and followed him.


    As they headed downstairs, he cracked his head, trying to figure out what Calvert was trying to aplish. Was he trying to provoke Dominic into going downstairs to "snatch" Vespera away from Luke?


    If that was his n, it was way too risky. Vespera might suffer because of it.


    Then he recalledst night in the living room when Calvert was jubntly leaming how to add music and füters to a video clip with Reba.


    Reba''s exact words were that whatever concept you needed to convey in a video had to be paired with the right music and filter.


    Of course, there was nothing wrong with what she had said. But for someone like Calvert, who had been trained in istion since he was young, has understanding of things had always been different from others. He had his own logic. Calvert wasn''t hard to understand. He just interpreted "concept" literally Meanwhile, downstairs, the three people were busy figuring out what to do


    Reba wanted to “rescue" Vespera from the sticky situation she was in. Since Calvert had sent the video, Dominic might have misunderstood and worsened the situation, especially since Vespera had already "crossed the line" the night before.

    "I''ll save her!" Byron eximed. He wanted to jump at the chance to save Vespera.


    As he stood up from his seat, Calvert''s fork struck his leg, and he fell back into his chair.


    "You''re not going anywhere. This chance belongs to Mr. Reid!" Calvert said dramatically. "I break your leg if you steal his show!"


    Both Reba and Byron froze. A crazy person, they could handle. But a crazy person who could fight? That was a whole different level: Luke grabbed Vespera by the hand and pulled her into a seat. He set their hands on the table, keeping them locked together.


    Since Hry were holding hands, they couldn''t exactly dive into the breakfast buffet. Luke then signaled to a walter to order some food.


    The waiter nced at their hands, then at the table, unsure what to make of it. Sure, they were in love, but did they really need to hold hands while eating? Vespera ced her hand on her forehead and scanned the room. Then, she saw Reba not far away.


    Her eyes lit up as she spotted her "savioes" and kept eyeing thein, hoping they woulde over. She desperately wanted Calvert to notice her, march over, and luve Luke knocked down and dragged out


    That was di r needed at the moment. She didn''t want to cause a scene in public. Thest thing she needed was to beughed at and end up trending on social media with tids best aid again...


    But no one was moving. Reba and Byron looked like they were frozen in ce, as if they''d been kidnapped with bombs attached to them.


    Outhe other hand, Calvert shed her a wide, toothy smile so bright it was almost terrifying. She had no idea what was on his mind. "Morning"


    mit voice trarlied her ear, refined and graceful.


    Hetheart skipped a beat at the sound. With her hand pressed to her foreheal, she desperately tried to kide more of her face.
