The Daring Billionaire’s Wife

Chapter 59

Dominic

While looking in the mirror, I fumble with my necktie and it’s frustrating me even more because I’m running out of time. I know my father will be calling me once again, demanding that I hurry for the emergency meeting this evening

“Hello?” I say to him.

“Where are you?”

I’m already on my way.”

“Hurry up or I’m leaving without you.”

“I’ll be there soon.”

I hurry even more, not wanting him to go without me. I’m now part of the team.
