Zosia: Quick Transmigration System-Chapter 23 - 22- Arc 1

֎Zosia POV֎

Sigh!

Zosia rubbed her forehead as she looked at the information on her screen.

Using her little connections, she had been able to snag a case.

"Tsk, quite surprising how i am involved in the case" she clicked her tongue against her teeth while spinning the pen in her hand, lost in thought.

The case is of a gold mine and land.

She decided to do an indepth investigation and the result was quite surprising.

Mrs. Lila Leverato which happens to be Diana's mom is the owner of them but the deeds are in Mrs. Grace Leverato hands.

Mrs. Grace Leverato, the mother of Ferdinand and Richard Leverato. A cunning witch and a woman who loves power.

She would do anything to keep that power with her, as she got older, she slowly left the front lines of power and the love for her second son is so overwhelming, that he is so dependent on her.

Mrs. Grace had an eye for those gold mine and land, so she plotted on how to get it.

Zosia wasn't able to understand how she got it though, she was sure she could still find out in one way or the other.

Surprisingly, Mrs Grace handed over the deeds to her second son. freewёbnoνel.com

Her thoughts were interrupted by the entrance of the Clerk.

"Hmm?" Zosia tilted her head and looked at the to the lady who had come in unannounced with a questioning look on her face.

"Someone is here to see you. He introduced himself as Mr. Dominic." Zosia frowned at the mention of his name.

"Tell him to come in." she began packing the files, not caring about the look the Clerk was giving her.

Zosia knew she was an object of gossip to her colleagues.

To them, they felt she has followed the back door due to Barr. Kamil.

Especially now that she got a case. The cases she had been doing had been with Barr. Kamil, this was her first time dealing with a case alone.

After packing the files, she opened her drawer, she acted like she was putting it in, but the files were taken into her space.

Knock! Knock!!

"Come in." She adorned on her lips, her beautiful yet professional smile.

"Good morning Mr. Dominic. I wonder what brings your esteemed self here?" She said while bringing out a drink from the fridge she had bought.

"Quite surprising, for an intern to have an office." He said while raising his eyebrow with his eyes scanning the place.

"Well, the office isn't mine but a makeshift one from Barr. Kamil office."

"Tsk, you must be really loved by that Old man." His voice held a certain amount of gloom hidden by the tone he used to convey his statement.

"Mmm." she dropped the drink she brought out from the fridge in front of him.

"This is all I have, can your esteemed self manage it?" Her words carried a hint of mockery.

Sitting down on her swiveling chair, she turned to the table beside her which acted as a place she kept all her books.

Taking one of the Buddhist scriptures, she flipped through it while she waited for Dominic to speak.

Dominic also knew that she wouldn't speak until he spoke. He cleared his throat and started by making small conversations.

"I would get straight to the point then. I want to try it with you."

"Huh?!" Zosia was genuinely confused at the statement.

"Try what exactly?"

"I want to date you. Neither of us are getting younger and since you are already betrothed to me, I don't see why we shouldn't try it.

If it works out, then great. If it doesn't, it's not bad if we keep being friends, right?" He said.

"I don't think I am particularly interested in that, I pretty much have other things I am more interested in." She replied nonchalantly while flipping through the books.

Knock! Knock!!

"Come in." Zosia said while muttering under her breath, "who could it be now?"

The clerk who had informed her about Dominic presence came in again.

"Mr. Richard called on the line and wishes to speak to you about the job you have on hand."

Zosia slapped the book close. "Okay" she stood up from her seat and headed towards the door.

Zosia looked back and noticed that the so-called clerk wasn't following her and snickered.

'Well, there is nothing in my office anyway. It would be good if she can pester Dominic and make him leave.'

....

֎Dominic POV֎

He had thought about his mother's suggestion, even he could not deny that if it worked, he would gain something from it.

Well, he is a little opportunistic and he doesn't deny that, but this time around, he wasn't going to do that with her.

After taking his bath, he did not go straight to the office but went to her workplace, his plan was to take her out to eat, so he did not carry anything.

"Since, I would still take her out, why burden myself." He thought.

He arrived at the Firm. He thought she would be sharing an office with some colleagues, since she was just an intern.

But, he was directed to her office, which made him surprised.

The moment he entered her office, he perceived her smell which filled the room. The smell made him more conscious of his actions.

He decided to tease her about her office and the reply, just didn't sit well with him but he doesn't know why.

After going through so many corners through small talk, he was now confident to tell her to go out on a date with him but was interrupted by the so-called Clerk.

Since, she would still be coming back, he felt there was no need for her to give him a quick answer, at least he could use this time to peruse through her books.

Just, maybe, he could find some of her likes and dislikes.

His plan was thwarted by the Clerk that had no manners.

"Mr or can I call you Dominic." She said with a smile.

Coming closer to him, she used her hand to trace his shoulders.

"Mr. Dominic, I have heard a lot about you."

'Is this clerk trying to seduce me?' he thought.

"You sure do hear a lot." He remarked.

Removing her hand that was tracing his shoulders, he picked up the book Diana had dropped.

"Dominic! You can't just ignore me like that?"

"Do I know you?" Feeling irritated he asked.

The clerk has a shocked look on her face. Seeing it, he scoffed while muttering under his breath. " Another gold digger."

The lady's face twisted in fury.

"Mr. Dominic, I am not a gold digger and even if I am, how could you be so forgetful. We had a one night stand before." She said, masking her anger in her playful tone.

"Ooh, then the sex must not have been memorable as I don't remember you." His sharp words dealing a blow to her heart.

" Dominic, how could you say that to a lady?" She laughed, " Does that mean you are doubting your skills." She cooed.

Tracing her hands on his laps, she did not forget to rub her feet against his.

"No need to Goard me. And if you want to keep your hand, You better get it of me." He said with a smile that it was more of a terrifying smile.

'Is this idiot thinking of wanting me to have a go with her in Diana's office.' He thought with a scoff, "Idiot." He muttered under his breath.

Hearing him call her and idiot, she felt indignant. Lowering her head to hide her anger, she watched as he flipped through Diana's books.

"Ooh, before I forget. If I ever wanted to try out my skills or if I am lacking in that aspect, which I believe I am not....."

His words brought hope to her face but his words that followed soon after.

"I can have Diana help me with that."

Unwilling to keep sitting down, he stood up to look around.

"Ha!!! Do you think she would fall for you?!" The lady screamed as she remarked.

He ignored her and kept on going through Diana's book. He found that there was no really specific book.

The book on the table ranged from religious work to various disciplines especially Law books, Buddhist scriptures as well as Taoist and Daoist Scriptures.

"Tsk, she sure does have a lot of interest." His words showed his lack of response towards the clerk.

After going through them, "Tsk, Dian is taking too long. Am sure she wants me to deal with you then."

Feeling unsatisfied and like she hasn't accomplished anything, she calmed down and decided to try her luck again.

The clerk who was about to talk was met with a sudden bout of pain on her arms.

"Don't You ever use those filthy hands on me. I told you that those hands wouldn't be kept right.

But since I am in my Fiancé's place , I have to show mercy.

Now get out!" His voice thundering across the small room.

"You!! Are you even a man?!"

The clerk flinched as he glared at her before leaving the office with her tail tucked between her legs.

He took the book Diana has been reading. Crossing his legs, he decided to read it while waiting for her.
