Chapter 248
In the days that followed, Dominic became extremely busy.
Sometimes, he went out with Jewel. Other times, they split up and worked separately. Jewel inspected factories while he ran between banks.
By the time August arrived, the weather had grown warmer.
One afternoon, Dominic walked out of a bank, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and muttered, “Damn. Being a boss is far more exhausting than being an employee p>
When he was still an employee, he could slack off at the office and watch movies whenever he felt like it. Now, that was no longer possible.
The 300 – million–dollar loan was within reach, but the details were troublesome. Interest rates, service fees, and disbursement schedules all required careful negotiation. Over the past few days, he had even dined with several bank executives, and alcohol was often involved.
Well, that was life.
Dominic had gained a clear realization. Even someone as wealthy as Stephen Garcia sometimes had to ask for favors and could not control everything. To truly control one’s life, a person had to be as powerful as the family behind that brat, Jessica.
Overall, he had gained a great deal of insight and experience during this period, and he was gradually adapting to his new identity.
After leaving the bank, Dominic got into the car and spoke to his chauffeur, Andy Woods. “Let’s head back to the office, Andy p>
Andy was a quiet young man whom Dominic had personally chosen as both chauffeur and assistant.
Andy nodded. “Alright, Mr. Fleming p>
When they returned to the office, Dominic had barely sat down and taken a sip of water when Jewel knocked on the door.
The door was not closed. Dominic looked up and smiled. “Please come in, Miss Wright p>
Their relationship had grown much more relaxed after days of working closely together.
Jewel walked in and took a seat. “ I’ve already inspected the factory. The other party is selling it with all the equipment for S million dollars. However, we plan to use a completely new production line, so we will need to dispose of the old equipment. We
should be able to recover about 2 million dollars from that p>
Dominic listened attentively and nodded. “Alright, Miss Wright. You decide p>
Jewel gave a soft hum of agreement, but hesitation showed on her face.
Dominic smiled. “If something’s on your mind, just say it p>
Jewel took a deep breath. “Zachary found out about our collaboration. He asked me about it a few times, but I did not respond. Today, he wants to meet again p>
Dominic considered this for a moment. “What are you thinking p>
Jewel sighed. “Dominic, Zachary is from the Grants of Skyline City I don’t want to offend him. What I mean is Could you come with me when I meet him p>
Dominic was surprised. He noticed a trace of vulnerability in her expression, which gave him a strange sense of being a shield You’re worried about offending him and can’t refuse on your own, so you want me to go with you p>

Her thoughts laid bare, Jewel sighed helplessly. “At this point, there’s nothing left to hide. Zachary has been pursuing me, but to be honest, I feel nothing for him. He always comes across as insincere. Because of JewelMed, I never rejected him outright and kept putting it off. ”
Dominic understood her meaning and thought it over. “ You want me there. Aren’t you worried I’ll offend him? You know we don’t get along. A meeting could make things worse p>
Jewel froze for a moment. After some thought, she shook her head. “I was thinking too narrowly. It’s fine, Dominic. I’ll go alone.

Dominic saw the guilt in her expression and suddenly smiled. “Set up the meeting. I’ll go with you p>
“What?” Jewel stared at him in shock.
Dominic’s gaze flickered. “It feels strange that he’s been so quiet lately p>
After that night, Dominic had expected him to take action once the threats were made. Instead, there had been no response at all.
After Elijah’s visit that night, he must have been frightened. The Hales‘ intimidation was overwhelming.
