The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 1547

Belinda would’ve normally had a biting retort for this odd duck, but with Chase there, she felt inhibited. She lowered

her eyes and remained silent.

Chase’s brow furrowed slightly. “So why did you agree to a blind date with a girl you clearly disdain?”

Dominic sat down with a smug grin. “Her mother was going around asking people to introduce suitors for her. My

mom heard about it and asked me to meet her. I figured why not? There’s no harm in meeting her.”

Chase smirked. “Oh? Is that so? So you came to take advantage of the situation?”

Dominic glanced at Belinda. “You can’t exactly put it that way. I’m doing her a favor. Otherwise, if word gets out

that even the men her family introduces don’t want to meet her, she’ll never get married.”

Chase scoffed. “Come off it, man! You’re just here because she’s attractive and well-off. You thought you could get

something out of it. With your credentials, you could never attract a girl of her caliber on your own.”

Dominic’s pride was wounded. “What did you say? My credentials are lacking? On what grounds do you judge my

credentials? I graduated from a prestigious overseas university. My mom says that in our country, you can’t find a

man as outstanding as me. What’s your education level? What gives you the right to speak ill of my credentials?”

Chase, with a gleam in his eyes, replied, “I don’t need to tell you about my education because I don’t need a degree

to validate myself. In my experience, those fresh out of college who haven’t found good jobs are the ones who brag

about their degrees. If I’m not mistaken, you probably don’t have a decent job, do you?”

Dominic was dumbstruck. He had hit the nail on the head.

He indeed didn’t have a decent job. After failing to find work overseas, he returned home, where his parents

arranged some job trials, for him. But he didn’t feel like any of them were good enough, so he didn’t bother.

What a joke! He was a graduate of a prestigious overseas university. He couldn’t possibly start from the bottom.

That would be a waste of his talent. Chase, still smiling, said, “Mr. Dominic, I’ve met many high-achievers like you.

Arrogant, mediocre, pushing thirty, and still living off their parents. You’re picky about jobs and women but lack self-

awareness. You don’t even know what you’re worth.”

Dominic was fuming. He irately pointed at Chase. “You… you dare talk to me like that? What are you worth? You

won’t even disclose your education. You’re just a pretty boy. How dare you compare yourself to me?”

Chase, composed and graceful, took out a business card from his pocket and slid it across the table. “I am, of

course, no high-end commodity. I’m merely a vice president of a publicly traded company. So, I don’t think I’m good

enough for Belinda yet. I need to work harder.”

Dominic looked at the high-quality business card in disbelief. The finely printed text read: Vice President of Crescent

Society, Chase.

Crescent Society?! He had definitely heard of it.

A highly esteemed rising star. A company that graduates from top universities would kill to work for.

This man was Vice President of the Crescent Society?!

A man of his stature, who was surrounded by beautiful women, would stoop to pursue Belinda, a woman past her

prime?
