Chapter 4 Boyfriend-For-Hire

Domenic suddenly paused what he was doing, waiting expectantly for Emilio's report.

Emilio sat down opposite him with a grin and showed him a photo, in which was of a pretty lady with a ponytail and bright eyes, looking both cute and smart.

Although Domenic had only taken a glance at that woman when he woke up that morning, he would never forget her face. Sure enough, the woman in the photo was the one he woke up next to!

"Dig into her background. I want to know everything—every detail—about her." Domenic stroked the photo with his slender fingers, revealing no hint of emotion.

Emilio cleared his throat and gave a detailed account of the information he had collected on Lindsey.

"Her name is Lindsey Stewart. And, according to what I've found so far, her father's been looking for investors because their family business hasn't been doing so well lately."

Speaking of this, Emilio suddenly stopped to ask, "Do you think she did it to help her father? But why would she run away afterward? Is she playing hard to get?"

Narrowing his eyes, Domenic ignored Emilio's questions and said flatly, "Go on."

"She has a boyfriend named Chayce Burton. He works as a sales rep in an unknown company."

At this, Domenic frowned. She had a boyfriend? Then why did she throw herself at him last night?

"There's one more thing." Emilio's voice interrupted Domenic's thoughts.

"What is it?"

"Look!" Emilio held up his phone in front of Domenic and said, "She just posted this."

Frowning, Domenic took the phone. As soon as he read the headline of Lindsey's post, his expression darkened.

"Looking for: a boyfriend!"

The post read, "Looking for a boyfriend-for-hire, only needed for a day. With generous compensation. The specific job details will be discussed during the interview.

Requirements: Needs to be over 6', handsome, with a good figure and a good temperament.

If you're interested, please dial..."

"Well, what kind of game is she playing again?"

Emilio looked at Domenic in confusion.

When he saw Domenic's expression turn stormy, he suggested cautiously, "How about I have someone bring her over?"

Blue veins stood out on Domenic's hands, and his deep eyes were filled with fiery, unpredictable anger.

The next second, his low voice, bone-chilling sounded. "Block this post. Don't you dare let anyone see it!"

"Achoo!" Lindsey suddenly sneezed. Rubbing her nose, she wondered who could be talking about her behind her back now.

She glanced at her phone, and when she saw that she had no notifications, she felt that something was wrong.

It had been an hour since she posted the ad, but she didn't receive any calls, nor were there any comments on the post. She had thousands of followers. How could there be no reaction to her new post? There had to be something wrong, right?

Was it because she sound too demanding?

While she was pondering, her phone suddenly rang, pulling her back to reality.

It was a call from an unknown number.

Lindsey sat upright and answered the phone without hesitation.

"Hello?" A pleasant, mellow voice sounded from the other end of the line.

"Hello, who's this?" Lindsey asked politely.

"I saw your ad about a boyfriend-for-hire, and I think I meet your requirements."

The man's voice had a slightly deep quality, akin to the melodic tones of a cello, which inadvertently stirred Lindsey's emotions. At the same time, she couldn't shake the feeling that this voice sounded rather familiar to her...

"Really? When are you free to meet?"

"You decide the time and place."

Seeing that the man was very straightforward, Lindsey didn't beat around the bush. "Okay, I'll meet you at eight o'clock tomorrow night at the Galaxy Café. Once I've booked us a table, I'll send you the details."

"Sounds good. See you."

Lindsey was thrilled. She didn't expect that things would go so smoothly.

On the other end of the call, Domenic sat alone in a spacious office, wearing a mysterious expression on his face. After ending the call, a faint smile curved his thin lips.

He was interested in seeing what this woman was up to.

The following day, Domenic arrived at the appointed cafe at eight o'clock sharp.

As soon as he entered the cafe, he found that Lindsey was already at their table. She seemed to be looking around uneasily.

This scene was a bit different from what he had envisioned. The girl before him wore a white shirt and a khaki windbreaker, her long hair cascading over her shoulders, giving her a gentle and serene appearance.

Domenic glanced at his watch, thinking that she was very punctual.

Then he started walking towards her, taking big strides.

Lindsey seemed to sense his approach, because she suddenly turned around and met his gaze. Her eyes widened as she took in his well-built frame and strikingly handsome face.

If the man hadn't stopped at her table, she would've thought that he was some kind of movie star!

"Excuse me, are you Miss Lindsey Stewart?"

A familiar and pleasant voice suddenly jolted her.

Lindsey was stunned for half a second before finally realizing that this person was the man she was supposed to meet!
