“Alright, I need to go home and cook.”Melina pushed her trolley, which was full of groceries, and left.“Wait.” Sotiria hurriedly stopped her. “I sent those two ugly men last time to… Sigh! I don’t understand. Don’t you hate me? Why are you helping me?”“Everyone says that I look like a fox. At first glance, I don’t look like a good woman to them, but in reality, I have a very clear perception of right and wrong. I hurt you and had those two ugly men take pictures of the entire process and post them online. I even told them to turn you into an invalid. The things you’ve done to me are far more merciful than everything I wanted to do to you. Besides, Mario has been running around with prostitutes every day. Ever since that incident, my heart has become steadier than ever…”Melina stroked her belly. “So, I don’t hate you. In fact, I’m kind of grateful to you. Just remember to stay away from Mario from now on, and I will remain grateful to you forever.”The corners of Sotiria’s li
“Where is your Second Master? I need to see him!”“I didn’t come here with him. I came to see you behind his back.” Lucas approached Sotiria and squinted his bright eyes. “Do you know why the Second Master was angry with you yesterday?”Sotiria’s eyes were filled with confusion.‘Zachary was angry yesterday? Alright!’Zachary had a paralyzed expression on his face that made him look like a glacier. He never showed any emotion, so even if he had been angry, she would never have been able to tell!Then, she heard Lucas say, “Because people might be afraid of him, but they respect him. No one questions his character. After that incident, everyone believed that you seduced him and you started it. That’s why everyone’s still cursing you even now, and no one is cursing him.”Sotiria obviously felt a sense of unfairness.If she took a step back and looked at the situation, even if she and Zachary had sincerely wanted to have an affair yesterday, she and Zachary should have shared the b
Lucas smiled casually and freely. “Don’t get me wrong, everything I do, I do it for Second Master. Poor Second Master. He’s been dead for four years, and I hope he’ll come back to life.”Sotiria stood there expressionlessly.Lucas, who just got into the car, also stared at her blankly.Although he had met Sotiria and spoke to her several times before, this was his first real face-to-face contact and conversation with Sotiria.‘It’s weird! Although Sotiria’s face is far less pretty than the original Charlotte, her expression and temperament are giving me the impression that the person standing in front of me is Charlotte. This woman named Sotiria seems to have Charlotte’s soul.’Lucas finally understood why Zachary, who had been so determined to die alone, had been shaken after meeting Sotiria.Stardust Tower—the headquarters of the 602 companies that Zachary owned.As Zachary had handed over his most profitable companies to Jebediah unconditionally for Charlotte five years ago,
Many people walked around in the magnificent lobby, and they were all dressed in suits. Sotiria, who was just a housewife, immediately felt that she did not fit well with this context as she entered the door. As such, this made her feel even more nervous.“Haha, Ms. Green, it’s nice to see you.” Manager Lehmann, the lobby manager, came to Sotiria’s side with a chair personally. “The security guard just called me and said that you’re here. Unfortunately, Mr. Connor is in a meeting now. But that’s okay. I think that to Mr. Connor, seeing you is more important than the meeting. I’ll let him know and get him to come to see you now. Please sit in this chair and wait for a short while.”Sotiria suspected that she had traveled to another world. She originally thought that everyone would laugh at her and look down on her... But she felt respected and loved like a queen now.She thanked the manager in a daze.Manager Lehmann hurried to the elevator entrance. A white-collar man passed by Sot
“Oh, yes.” Sotiria placed the gift box in Zachary’s arms. “Yesterday, you blamed me for not bringing you a gift. So I’ve brought you one today. Please take it.”Zachary did not refuse. He accepted it emotionlessly and opened the gift box in front of Sotiria.At that moment, everyone in the lobby was staring at Zachary’s hands. Every single one of them wanted to know what gift Sotiria would give Zachary.In fact, Sotiria was also very curious.She had asked Lucas, but Lucas had only given her an enigmatic smirk and refused to tell her what was in the gift box.At this time, Zachary had already taken the present out of the box.Looking at this gift, Sotiria had a bad premonition. It was an ordinary silver fountain pen. She had just seen this pen in the mall not long ago, and it only cost one dollar.‘Zachary! He’s the most regal person in Rothesay. How can such a cheap gift be worthy of his status? He’ll definitely feel that I’m insincere or I’m trying to humiliate him!‘Lucas An
“I used my cell phone to call you once not long ago. You should just save my phone number. Okay! That’s it from me. I don’t want to distract you from your work already.” After saying so, Sotiria turned around and walked toward the exit of the lobby as if she was running away for her life.“To be precise, you don’t just owe me one favor, but three.” Zachary’s voice came from behind her all of a sudden.Sotiria was paralyzed on the spot like an ice sculpture, as if he had cast a freezing spell on her. “Ah?! What...”“The other day, when Melina and Renata teamed up to bring harm to you, I was the one who saved you. Not long ago, when a motorcycle almost hit you, I was the one who saved you. Yesterday, when the drug was torturing you, I was the person who sacrificed my innocence and reputation to save you.”Zachary, who had the temperament of a king, had a very piercing voice. Even if he did not speak loudly, his voice would still make its way through all the ambient lobby—that was why
Sotiria nodded without hesitation. “Deal!”‘Buying Zachary a meal in return for his life-saving grace? That’s quite a deal!After rejoicing, she pursed her lips in embarrassment. “Oh, by the way, let me put this out there first before we go out for lunch. I’m not as rich as you are, so I can’t afford to treat you to a meal at places that are too luxurious and exorbitant.”A strange look flashed across Zachary’s eyes that were as brilliant as crystals. “As for that, we’ll go wherever you choose.”Sotiria immediately brought up a restaurant reservation app on her phone and reserved a private room in a nearby restaurant that was quite classy but would not cost her a fortune.In fact, she did not want to reserve a private room either. Because every time she stood opposite Zachary, she would be so panicked that she could not act normally. She did not even dare to imagine herself eating with only Zachary in a private room.However, it was worse if she were to eat with Zachary blatantly
The second she finished the shrimp, a lump of crab meat peeled by Zachary was placed on her plate.“Try this.”“Okay!”Sotiria picked it up.Then, Sotiria realized with a shock that Zachary, who was as noble as a king, was offering her an unlimited supply of food like a father pampering his favorite daughter, while she accepted the food without any hesitation as if she really was his favorite daughter. What astonished Sotiria even more was that she did not feel embarrassed at all. Instead, she enjoyed the feeling of getting pampered a lot and did not want it to end. She may not understand right now, but later, after recovering her memories, when she looked back, only then would she understand the indescribable feelings she had for Zachary when she was still Sotiria.Vroom, vroom, vroom.The phone on the table was buzzing.When she saw it was her “husband” calling, Sotiria quickly answered the phone. The moment the call was connected, Garrison’s voice rang out. “Tiria, I’
