I'm Glad We Met After Marriage Chapter 364
“Yonder Trading won’t just last five months. It’ll last five years or more. As long as I’m alive, Yonder Trading will survive,” Zach said while he looked at me. It was as if he was making a promise.This was an office, not a wedding. I did not need such dramatic declarations.I smiled and took a sip of water. “Talk is cheap, Zach. You’ve been in business long enough to know that words don’t prove anything. But I’ll keep the contract. Once I’ve decided, I’ll let you know.”“Alright.” He placed his hands on the table but did not get up. Instead, he asked, “Want to have lunch together?”“I’m eating in the company cafeteria. If you don’t mind that, you can join me.”Most of the executives ate in the cafeteria unless they had appointments. I needed to get to know everyone better for them to accept me.“Sure,” Zach said without hesitation.When we entered the cafeteria at lunch hour, everyone stared at us.The cafeteria had two sections: one for regular employees and one for executiv

“I trust you.” He gave me another piece of pork rib. “The food in your cafeteria is delicious. I wonder if I can come here often for lunch?”“You can. Just mention my name.”Zach left after lunch, and I went back to my office to rest. There was a couch in the office, so I could take a comfortable nap.As I passed the staff lounge, I overheard several women talking about me and Zach.“Ms. Freeman is such a love-struck fool. After Zach hurt her like that, she still brought him to the office on her first day.”“Yeah. How could she be the acting chairman? I don’t know what Mr. Freeman was thinking.”“She’s lucky to be born with everything handed to her. She’s the heiress to Freeman Corporation.”“If she runs the company, it’ll probably be called Gordon Corporation in a few years.”“After the Gordon family kicked him out and Cecilia cheated on him, Zach is now clinging to Ms. Freeman.”“He’s not only clinging, but he’s also using her as a rebound.”“Hahaha. Neither of them is an

Nathan Sullivan was a bit chubby and short. He was not even as tall as my bookshelf. His hair was also messy, like a dog had licked it. Even flies would not land on it.He stood before my desk and adjusted his glasses. “What’s up, Cassia?”I noticed that he called me by my first name instead of “Ms. Freeman.” That meant he did not respect my position as acting chairman.I stared at him in silence until he started to feel uncomfortable.He cleared his throat awkwardly and said, “Cass…”Then, he stopped and quickly corrected himself. “Ms. Freeman.”“Is your computer broken?” I asked out of the blue, and he was confused.“Huh?”“If your computer isn’t broken, check the project application I just submitted in the system.”“Ms. Freeman, I don’t think Yonder Trading is the best choice—”“I don’t need your opinion on contracts over ten million.” I interrupted him.A department manager should not be able to question my decisions. They saw me as someone with no authority.He was sho

“I don’t discuss business after work.”“We don’t have any personal stuff to talk about.”He made it sound like I wanted to talk about personal matters with him. I could not care less about his problems.“I’m hanging up, then,” I said.“I’ll drop by Freeman Corporation tomorrow morning to see you.” Then, he hung up.‘That jerk.’ My heart was racing with anger.He treated Sophie terribly but acted as if nothing ever happened. Even if he had no feelings for her, what was wrong with talking sincerely with her?Was it so hard to thank Sophie for all the care she had given him?Cameron Hill was a big opportunity, so everyone with power wanted a piece of it.If Freeman Corporation had teamed up with Jenkins Corporation to acquire Cameron Hill, it could have become a top project. However, Gordon Corporation had acquired it, and it had been sitting idle for almost six months. If the approval for the project expired before any progress was made, the hill would be viewed as abandoned. As

She was confident and easygoing. Before I could say anything, Oliver blurted out, “Do you even know where we’re going? What if it’s not on the way?”He was being very rude to her.I smiled and said, “Sure, get in.”I did not care if it was convenient or not. I would take her wherever she needed to go.Oliver looked annoyed, but I nudged him. “Move over.”The girl got in and sat across from me. She was wearing skinny jeans that showed off her long legs. I could also smell a light fruity perfume on her.She was gorgeous and the kind of girl you would call the queen on campus. She was bold and impossible to miss.I could not tell if her double eyelids were natural or not, but they looked perfect.She smiled and said, “I’m Mabel Wilton. I’ve seen you in magazines. You’re even prettier in person.”I knew that I looked good, and she sounded genuine. “Thanks. Where are you going?” I said.“Just drop me off at the subway station ahead.”“We can take you wherever you need to go.”“O

“She likes Oliver. It’s so obvious that I could tell without looking.”“You don’t use your eyes anymore?” I shot back in annoyance. “Whatever. We’re already here.”“Girls these days are sneaky. Just look at Cecilia.”“Don’t mention her.”When we got back to the table, Mabel was trying to chat with Oliver. However, he was busy on his phone.As I approached, he immediately put his phone down and helped me into my chair. “Cassia, I ordered a carbonara and a bruschetta. Do you want anything else?”“You decide. Just ask Ms. Wilton if she wants something.”“Just call me Mabel,” she said warmly. “Can I call you Cassia?”“Sure.”While we waited for our food, Mabel’s phone kept ringing. She would glance at it and quickly decline the calls.Looking a little flustered, she said, “Sorry about that. I’ll turn it off.”She did not even have to explain. I was pretty sure it was that rich guy calling. Sophie leaned over and whispered, “That guy’s either not as good-looking as Oliver or not

Julian was acting crazy again. Even though Wilson Corporation was struggling, he was still out here spending money like it was nothing. He wasted so much money. I also noticed Mabel looking at him with mockery and disdain.She probably knew about the Wilson family’s situation. That was why she rejected his advances.She was not stupid. She seemed to have a good sense of what was coming.I observed Julian quietly while Sophie smiled and said to the manager, “This guy is the president of Wilson Corporation, and he’s worth a fortune. A small restaurant like yours isn’t even a challenge for him. You should get your boss here. Mr. Wilson will buy this place for double the price.”The manager was shocked. Getting a big ego boost from Sophie’s words, Julian pointed at the manager and said, “Get your boss. I’m buying this restaurant, and you can kick these people out.”“We’ll wait.” Sophie sat down to continue eating. “Once you buy it, you can ask us to leave.”“Sophie, are you trying

Her eyes shifted toward Oliver, who was looking elsewhere.It was obvious to Mabel that he was not interested in her.She was contemplating on whether to stay with Julian, who was spending a lot of money, or keep trying with the cold Oliver.Clearly, she would never catch Oliver’s attention, but it was still possible with Julian.She looked at me and tried to speak. I understood immediately and patted her on the shoulder. “It’s your choice. We’re leaving.”Julian was feeling proud of himself, and he shouted after us as we walked out, “You all saw it. This restaurant will never let the Freeman family in again. Put up a sign saying the Freeman family and dogs aren’t allowed!”I could not be bothered with what he said. It did not affect us.As we reached the door, we saw Cecilia rush out of her car in anger.She was surprised to see us, and she said, “What are you doing here, Cassia?”I did not feel like talking, and she did not have time for a conversation either.She barely gl

With that, I called Mr. Pepper. I felt bad for waking him up in the middle of the night, but thankfully, he lived in our house.He was still groggy, but he helped me downstairs after he washed his face with cold water.My legs felt weak, and Mr. Pepper tried to comfort me. “Don’t worry too much, Ms. Freeman. Mr. Jenkins is young. He should be fine.”However, his reasoning was not sound. Death did not care how old you were. It would just take you when it was your time.When I arrived at the hospital, Zach was waiting for me at the entrance.He held my arm and probably noticed that I was shaking, so he reassured me, “He’s in the ER. The doctor said he passed out not long ago. He took some medicine when he first felt ill, so it should be okay.”I looked up at Zach under the bright hospital lights. He took off his coat and wrapped it around me.I had left in such a hurry that I ended up wearing one yellow shoe and one white one.Soon, Austin was brought out of the ER and into a reg

“You can eat them if you want. Otherwise, I’ll just throw them away.” “Don’t waste food.” She picked up an escargot with two fingers and sucked on it, like she was eating a field snail. I sat across from her and watched her eat.“Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I’m cute?” “Yeah,” I said. “You look like a cute little pig when you eat.”“Why are you being so mean? Are you upset because of Cecilia? Are you worried that Zach might go back to her?” I got up from the couch. I was not going to waste my time worrying about Cecilia.I was actually thinking about Austin’s pale face.“Take your time eating. I’m going upstairs to hang out with Rachel.” I nodded at Kingston.Soon after, Cameron called. He was going to Switzerland for business, and he would drop by West City once he was done.Rachel quickly said, “Dad, don’t pick me up yet. Cassia’s taking good care of me. Don’t worry.”Cameron sighed on the phone and laughed a little. “Cassia, I don’t know if I should

I switched seats in the hall three times, but Cecilia stuck to me like glue. I could not get rid of her.By the time Zach finished his interview and came over, she was still challenging me. “Cassia, it doesn’t matter how much you do for Zach. Even if you give him everything, including your heart, he’ll come back to me as soon as I smile at him,” she said.Just then, Zach appeared next to our table. Cecilia kept going, as she was completely caught up in her own delusions.I looked up at Zach and said with a smile, “When did you become a butcher who took hearts?”Since he showed up, I took the chance to escape. I stood up and said, “Well, Zach’s here. Cecilia, why don’t you charm him and give him that smile you were talking about?”Then, I quickly slipped away. All evening, she had been annoying me like a fly. It totally ruined my appetite.I found a quiet spot and placed my food on the table. As soon as I sat down, Zach came over and sat across from me. I looked behind him and

When Zach saw Wilson Corporation’s bid, he tossed it aside. This meant that it had been eliminated.Wilson Corporation did not have enough funding, so they would not make it to the next round. If they could not keep up in terms of cash flow, it would delay the whole project.However, it would not be fun to eliminate them in the first round.I picked up Wilson Corporation’s bid again. Austin looked at me and asked, “What are you doing?”“Just having some fun.”Wilson Corporation would not make it to the final round anyway. At least, they could enjoy making it to the next round.When the names of the qualified companies were announced, Cecilia’s expression was strange. She looked both nervous and confident at the same time. It was like she had a split personality.The moment Zach read Wilson Corporation’s name, Cecilia quickly stood up and turned to me.I saw pride, satisfaction, and joy in her gaze.She raised her chin as she walked up to receive the bid from Zach. She was acti

There was nonstop clicking from the cameras, and their flashes were so bright that they almost made my eyes water.Just then, Zach handed me a pair of glasses. I put it on, and another reporter asked, “There’s a rumor that Zach was recently fired from Gordon Corporation’s board? Is it true?”Tyler laughed. He looked at Zach and then at me before he said, “You just said that it was a rumor, right?”I scanned the crowd and quickly spotted Cecilia. Her face was pale, and it looked like she was about to cry.At this point, she should realize that Zach had not been fired. He was not the nobody she thought he was.He was still the same Zach. In fact, he was even better. While he was away from the spotlight, Zach set Yonder Trading up for the next five years. Even without Gordon Corporation, he could still succeed in the business world with Yonder Trading.Cecilia was dumbfounded, but it did not seem like she could cry. It was almost funny.Her attitude had been completely different

Cecilia walked toward me in her high heels. “Cassia, you’re acting like a saint again. When Zach’s career fell apart four years ago, you stayed with him for three years. Now, you’re getting back with him again? You love him that much, huh? I’m telling you that Zach is a lost cause. No matter what you do, he’s not going to make a comeback unless you hand over Freeman Corporation to him. Other people date for fun, but you? You’re ready to risk everything for him.”“Cecilia.” I looked her straight in the eye. “That’s enough. No matter what, Zach used to be completely devoted to you. Not only have you dumped him, but you’re trash-talking him behind his back.”“Behind his back? I’d say the same thing to his face.” Cecilia raised her chin. “Sure, Zach loved me, but I don’t want some lovesick fool. It doesn’t matter that he turned against the Gordon family for me. Did I ask him to? If his life is a mess now, it’s his own fault.”“His fault is falling in love with you.”Cecilia smiled smug

The past few days had been particularly hectic. The signing of the Cameron Hill project was around the corner, and we were going to open for tender on the signing day. Once the project began, we would subcontract to many construction companies. We had a few construction companies under Freeman Corporation. However, it was going to be hard for us to tackle such a big project on our own. Hence, we needed to look for subcontractors. Doing both the signing and the tendering on the same day was a first in the industry. Actually, I did not want to rush things like that, but Austin wanted to be quick. He was afraid that his body would give up on him. Meanwhile, I was afraid that I would accidentally tell Sophie the truth one day. Sophie could not make it to the signing. She could not walk well, and she was basically resting. We had released the news about the tender a few days ago, and I had received tenders from many companies. Wilson Corporation was one of them. I glanced at the

While I was staring at Lucy’s photo, my father called me. He and my mother had been away for a really long trip. They left when it was winter, and it was already spring, but they were still not back. My father said, “The proposal that you sent me regarding Cameron Hill is very detailed. I think it’s a good project. You can sign on my behalf.” “Dad, are you guys not coming back yet?”“You’re good at your job. I feel at ease when you’re in charge.” “Dad, don’t forget that my baby’s due in two months.” “Well, aren’t there two months left, then?” I was speechless. My father was trying to make use of me until the day I gave birth. He seemed to be in a good mood. Yesterday, my mother called and told me that Aunt Lauren and her husband were feeling much better than before. It was especially so after they learned that Sophie had gotten into a relationship. Before I ended the call, my father gave me some encouraging words, “Oscar called me yesterday and praised you for being a

Rachel really liked the pastries that Kingston had bought. “I’ve never had such good food before,” she said.She was always surprised by our food, as she grew up overseas with a different type of cuisine. Zach had promised to finish building the castle with Rachel, so I sent her to Yonder Trading in the morning. I held her hand as we walked into his office. He had just finished laying the game mat on the floor. Rachel ran over to him happily. “Zach!” Zach immediately carried her and lifted her over his head. Rachel giggled. She was usually quite lonely, so she loved to spend time with us adults. After I dropped her off, Zach passed me a folder. “It’s about Lucy.” He was extremely quick in his investigation. I took the folder and only found a few pages inside.Lucy was not originally from West City. Instead, she came from East City. It turned out that she had taken her mother’s last name.Her mother was a lounge singer, and there were a few old photos of her in the
