Chapter 2 Two

At the Romano mansion.

Mr. Usha said to Viktor. "You quickly call the children down here, I have something to tell them."

The atmosphere in the villa was silent for a moment, the footsteps down the stairs gradually got closer. It was Mr. Usha's three grandsons, one by one, sitting down on the chair. Both were quite surprised because they did not know what their grandfather was going to say.

After all the members were present, Mr. Usha solemnly announced, "It is time for me to clarify with you about the marriage between the Romano and the Brown families."

Looking at the faces of the children and grandchildren, everyone was stunned and speechless. Even Dominic's icy face changed color, so you can see how powerful this announcement was.

Dominic stammered and asked his grandfather, "What kind of marriage, Grandpa?"

Mr. Usha had predicted that everyone would be extremely surprised to hear this announcement, so it was no surprise. He slowly explained:

"When I was young, Zohar and I made a betrothal agreement that our two families would become in-laws in the future. But I only have one son, your father, and so does Zohar, so the betrothal agreement was passed on to you. Now that you have reached the age of marriage, I should also fulfill this agreement. Dominic, you are the eldest grandson, so I hope you will agree to this marriage."

Dominic was shocked to hear his name called. He had always hated being close to women, but now he was being forced to marry a girl he had never met, so of course, he did not agree. Dominic coldly replied:

"I do not agree."

After speaking, he stood up and went straight to his room, closed the door, rolled onto the bed, and sighed repeatedly.

The next day, Dominic left the house early in the morning. He seemed to be avoiding his grandfather because the situation was so sudden that he could not find a suitable reason to refuse the marriage. Dominic was always decisive and cool in business school, but was quite hesitant and always tried to avoid his family members.

As soon as he reached the office door, he turned around and said:

"Aylin, bring me a cup of coffee to the office."

Knocking on the door, Aylin - his secretary - walked in with a cup of coffee: "General Manager, you look tired today. You should pay attention to your health."

"I know."

The atmosphere was extremely stifling. His usually cold face was even angrier today, looking like a time bomb that could explode at any moment.

A man walked in without knocking and sat on the sofa. He looked quite rich and handsome, with a perfect, friendly face. But just looking at him, one could immediately guess that he was a playboy. He was wearing a dark green suit with a black and white striped shirt inside. He poured a cup of hot tea and said:

"Dominic, you are getting married without telling your friends."

He was Sharon, the sole heir of the JT Group. He was known as a playboy, surrounded by women, and had never been honest with any girl. Sharon was Dominic's childhood friend.

Dominic was angry, so he took the opportunity to vent his anger on Sharon: "You came in without knocking?"

Sharon leaned back on the sofa and continued smugly:

"I saw that you were about to get married, so I came here to congratulate you. Are you so touched that you cried?"

Dominic responded to his concern with a cold sentence: "What am I crying for? If you have nothing else to do, go home quickly, don't bother me here."

Sharon curiously walked over and sat down on the chair opposite Dominic, his eyes looking at him and he asked in surprise: "You're about to get married, so you should be happy, right?"

Dominic's eyes widened, his face was cold, and he said, "If you don't shut up, then leave."

Sharon quickly comforted him because he was also afraid that Dominic would get angry:

"Okay, I won't say anymore, I won't say anymore. Don't be angry."

The two were silent for a long time, then Sharon curiously asked:

"Hey, Dominic, you don't seem interested in this marriage, do you?"

Dominic's expression didn't change, he put the pen in his hand on the table, raised his head to look at Sharon, and said: "Are you looking at me like I'm interested?"

Dominic's eyes were like a stream of water that wanted to wash Sharon clean. It seemed that Sharon still recognized his best friend's intentions through that look, so he automatically left without making a sound, not daring to ask any more questions.

Aylin knocked on the door: "General Manager, there's a branch meeting in 5 minutes."

Dominic entered the meeting room, everyone bowed their heads.

"Okay, everyone, a summary report of the situation and results of the past month."

Each branch reported, but Dominic was always straightforward in his criticism. Everyone was scared, and the discussion was very noisy:

"What's wrong with the CEO today? Does he look like a murderer who wants to kill us?"

"What, are you here for a meeting or to discuss private matters?"

Everyone was silent, no one dared to say anything. The atmosphere in the meeting room became tense and heavy, no one dared to breathe heavily. Finally, Dominic left and said:

"The meeting is over."

With a sigh of relief, the atmosphere calmed down, and everyone quickly left.

The Romano house was quiet, everyone had left early in the morning. Although the house was beautiful and luxurious, for an old man like Mr. Usha, it felt lonely. He had been bored with his career all his life, and now that he was old, he had to sit in one place and watch his children and grandchildren follow in his footsteps.

What he was most worried about now was that all three of his grandsons were old enough to get married, but none of them had brought their girlfriends home to meet their families. He was always afraid that he would not see any of them get married until he was near death.

He slowly walked out of the room, leaned on his cane, went to the kitchen, and asked the maid, "Maya, why haven't I seen Dominic lately?"

The maid heard the voice behind her and turned around to answer, "These days, the young master has been gone from early morning until late at night, sir."
