she thought about what he had asked earlier-"Is leaving the house with me such a burden to you?" she suddenly felt as if the tables had turned. That was something she had once wanted to ask him but never dared to. After all, hadn't she always been the one making him uncomfortable?

There weren't many surgeries today, so when Bella finished work, the sun was still hanging high in the western sky. Not wanting to go home too early, she drove to Lia's studio, which had practically become her second home.

As she parked the car, a few young women from the studio can outside, excitedly wondering who the wealthy big shot was. When they saw it was Bella stepping out of the car, their eyes of anticipation turned into admiration.

She felt a bit awkward. Dominic's car wasn't overly flashy, but it wasn't designed for women. Most of his cats were fantastic but more suited for men. She hadn't wanted to drive something so attention-grabbing, but she wasn't left with a choice.

When she spotted Bella, Lia glanced out at the car. "Wow, you broke one, and now, he's given you another. Dominic really h "With your knack for destruction, he should just get you a little beater like mine. Ten thousand dollars tops. He wouldn't mind if you wrecked that. But to hand you something worth several million to mess around with? Tak, tsk"

Bella was speechless, "What do you mean I broke it? That was Amber who crashed it on purpose. I didn't want the car, but Dominic insisted I drive it. Otherwise, he'd drop me off at work every day, and I'd rather drive myself."

Liaglanced at the clock on the wall. "I can leave whenever. But what's up with you lately? Why are you suddenly being so generous?

"It's hard not to suspect you and Dominic have been up to something- sneaky. But I can't join you tonight. My mom set me up on a blind date, and the guy's coming to meet me soon. He's taking me out to dinner. Wouldn't be right to bring a friend along." Hella was surprised. "Are you serious? You complained to me about your mom not giv the guy has a good family background or just because he fits your taste?

Lis sighed. "I had a change of heart. My mom's right. I spend all my time in the studio, not making any real money and wasting my life away. You're my only and you're a woman of course, she's worried she showed me a photo of the guy, and he's not bad-looking. Plus, he's got a decent job."

Bella suddenly felt deflated. "Wright then Enjoy your date. But when your blind date arrives, let me take a look first and then I'll leave. I just wanit hand spent he has in be for you to ditch your friend for itn." to see how
