Dominique surprisingly became so clingy today, not letting go of Athena. He didn't know what had gotten into him. It's just that he didn't want to be alone tonight.
Furthermore, he overheard Athena talking to someone over the phone earlier. She called him Vladimir or V. After eavesdropping, he found out that this guy would be waiting for her at her place.
Then the guy who sent Athena home last time popped up in his mind. He wondered if that 'Vladimir' was the same guy he saw in Athena's place.
"I want you to stay," he commanded her. He didn't want them to meet.
On the other hand, although Athena was hesitant, she couldn't ignore Dominique's request. She needed to cooperate with him if she truly wanted to gain his affection.
For now, their relationship was just purely physical intimacy. No feelings are involved yet. She wanted him to fall for her so that she could also break his heart later on.
