Chapter 726 Additional Chapter: A Harrowing Courtship (8)

As the memories faded, Zyra looked up at the stoic man before her, her heart swelling with a mix of tenderness and remembrance."You don't have to be haunted by what happened. I've moved on, and you should too. It's time we both lived freely."Zyra knew he carried some dark memories in his heart, and it was those very shadows that kept him unwaveringly by her side. That was her wild card."Hearing you've moved on makes me happy, but I'm still not up for a drink," he said.It was not that the past had wounded him deeply, it was just that alcohol had become a distant memory, and drinking had lost its appeal.Zyra did not quite catch his drift but nodded anyway. "Guess you're on duty to get me home then."With that, Zyra dove headfirst into a drinking spree, glass after glass. As she drank, Colt appreciated his own sobriety more than ever.Men with roving eyes and bad intentions would linger with their gaze before trying their luck, only to be swatted away by Colt with ease.

Colt dutifully drove Zyra back to her home.As he pulled up to the house, Zyra was a restless presence in the passenger seat, her cheeks flushed, murmuring and humming in a way that set the imagination racing.While Colt was unbuckling her seatbelt, she suddenly clasped her hand around his neck and leaned in close to whisper."I've got a secret to tell you, but you can't tell anyone else, promise?"Colt's heart skipped a beat, thinking she had mistaken him for Tyler. His face clouded over, but he managed to ask, "What's the secret?"Zyra was insistent, her voice tinged with a stubborn edge."First, you have to promise me you won't tell a soul about this."She added under her breath, "Especially not Tyler. He must never, ever find out."Colt, reassured that she was still grounded in reality, nodded with satisfaction. "You have my word. I won't breathe a word of it to anyone."With Colt's promise, Zyra began to spill her secret, one she had kept from everyone. "You see, people a

Zyra's rejection was as straightforward as it got.Mr. Stewart's optimistic expression faded, his hopeful eyes turning to Colt. "What's your take, Colt?"Colt coughed lightly. "Mr. Stewart, this all feels a bit too sudden and pressured. Maybe we should revisit this conversation later on," he suggested diplomatically.With neither of the young ones on board, Mr. Stewart's eyes dimmed with a hint of sadness."Alright then, if you two aren't ready, just spend some more time together. I'll bring it up again when it feels right. I guess I got ahead of myself," he admitted.Mrs. Stewart, arriving with two cups of tea, stepped into the midst of the tense conversation.Zyra and Colt were perched on the edge of their seats, fidgeting and unsure of where to put their hands. Mr. Stewart, on the other hand, kept turning away, his eyes frequently misty with unshed tears."What's happened here? I step away to make tea, and I come back to find you all acting so peculiar," Mrs. Stewart said, se

True to her word, Zyra called Colt the very next morning to arrange a ride to and from work.Seeing Colt pull up, Mr. Stewart's face lit up with happiness."My dear girl, I'm so surprised you've warmed up to him so fast. Don't worry, I trust this young man. He's got a good heart and he'll take good care of you."Zyra dabbed at the sweat on her brow. "Dad, I've known him for a good while. Trust me, I'm not the type to rush into a romance without thought.""That's great," Mr. Stewart said with a casual nod, then quickly stepped forward and grabbed Colt's hand."Colt, you're here early. Hungry? Come on in and grab a bite."Colt shook his head with a smile. "I appreciate it, Mr. Stewart, but I've already eaten. I'm just here to pick up Zyra for work."Mr. Stewart gave Zyra a mock stern look. "Making this young man come all this way just for you, huh? You don't live around the corner, do you?""It's no trouble at all. It's not that far, and it's the first time Zyra's asked me to pic

"I'm asking you a serious question. What's that supposed to mean?"Zyra's impatience lit a fuse in Haisley. "Seriously, Haisley, you're all up in everyone's business, but can you even handle your own? What's wrong with you? I told you I needed to change. Is that so hard to understand?"Zyra let loose without holding anything back, leaving Haisley speechless.After her outburst, Zyra's eyes swept over the crowd. Those who had been smirking at her expense suddenly lost their grins and looked away, pretending they had not seen a thing."What's everyone staring at? Don't you have your own work to do? Such a drag."Why not hit the books or join a class instead of hanging out here? Is everyone here out of their minds?"Zyra was known for her short fuse, but she had never blown up like that before. She had never cut with words so sharp.A girl nearby sensed trouble brewing and quickly stepped in to smooth things over. "Zyra, chill out, will you? They're just clueless, that's why they

"You could record this whole scene and blast it on the internet. Go ahead, show everyone how I've supposedly been bullying you," Zyra spat, her composed gaze fixed on Haisley."You... I..."Haisley was a mess, drenched in coffee stains, but Zyra's words left her seething silently.Crossing Zyra in public was a definite way to stir trouble, and Haisley knew it.Although Haisley could confront Zyra about her faults to her face, she never took it any further."Zyra, I haven't done anything to you, right? Why are you coming at me like this? We're all part of the same company, and here you are, accusing me without any proof. You're just smearing my name for no reason."When toughness failed, Haisley switched tactics. She changed her expression to a miserable one, aiming to win the crowd's hearts.It worked. The onlookers began to murmur, their faces a mix of bewilderment and skepticism, clearly leaning to Haisley's side.Zyra could hear the whispers nearby."Why's she acting all hig

Yaslyn was not wrong—Zyra was undoubtedly the company's golden goose.However, Zyra had messed up that time, so should she not face the consequences?"Ms. Yaslyn, we can't just brush this off, can we? Zyra started it, so she needs to face the consequences. If not, what kind of message does that send to the rest of the team?"Haisley expected her bold statement to earn some nods or even applause. Instead, when she looked back, she found everyone else avoiding her gaze like the plague.With no other option, Haisley braced herself and locked eyes with Yaslyn.Yaslyn chuckled. "You do have a point, and I'm surprised you're thinking about the company's management. Why? Got any plans to take over my job?"That was a low blow.Haisley shook her head vigorously, backpedaling fast. "No, no. I didn't mean that. I was just pointing out that it's against company policy, and, well..."A thought struck her, and she blurted out, "If you're really thinking of kicking me out, do remember that w

Haisley's knees buckled, and she slumped to the floor, terror plastered across her face.42 million dollars. How on earth could she ever pay that back?However, Yaslyn did not give her a second glance. She just walked out with Zyra in tow.Once they were in Yaslyn's office, Zyra could not help but snicker.Yaslyn glanced at her and asked, "What's so funny? You know, you could've used your status in that mess. I've handed you the keys to the kingdom—all the company shares—and you're still playing coy, making me step in."Since Yaslyn's return, she transferred all her shares to Zyra. Zyra was the top dog—the real boss of the entertainment empire."I'm just trying to nail this acting gig. If word got out that I'm the president, wouldn't that look like I'm just handing myself all the goodies?"Zyra batted her eyelashes in mock innocence. "Thanks for having my back today. How about I make it up to you with dinner?"Yaslyn rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on. "I can't do

"Our Matheo's got a heart of gold, doesn't he?"Zyra leaned in with a mischievous twinkle in her eye as she playfully flicked his nose.Matheo tilted his head up with a grin. "Well, someone has to look out for the little guys.""Who's your inspiration for being Mr. Hero?"Scratching his head, Matheo confessed, "Superman."Zyra could not help but let out a hearty laugh.After a nice meal out, Yaslyn did not expect Colt to be the one waiting to pick Zyra up.Colt greeted them with an easy smile, smoothly taking Zyra's bag from her. "It's been a while.""It's been a while, indeed. How did you two end up crossing paths again?" Yaslyn asked.Zyra's face turned a shade of pink. "Oh, we're not... You know, together. We're just hanging out for a bit.""Oh? Got a little crush now, do you?"Yaslyn was skeptical, knowing how long Zyra had been hung up on Tyler."It's my dad's idea," Zyra murmured, leaning in to whisper the secret in Yaslyn's ear.Yaslyn's eyes lit up with a knowing s

It baffled Zyra that Tyler had managed to stay away for so long. Previously, no matter how fiercely she pushed him away, he would check in at least once a day.However, a whole week passed without a peep from him. Strangely enough, Tyler's absence left Zyra feeling bored along with a pang of loss."Ugh, snap out of it," she scolded herself.Zyra shook her head as if she could physically dislodge the absurd thoughts. 'He's not bothering you anymore. Isn't that what you wanted? Why are you missing him?'She was disgusted with herself for feeling that way. She was indifferent when he was all over her, but she was sad when he disappeared.Caught up in her thoughts, Zyra messed up her lines on set, much to the director's dismay."Zyra, what's going on with you? You've never been this off before. What's up today?"She scratched her head at a loss. I'm just not feeling it today. Let me give it another shot."Ever the kind soul, Franklin offered her a comforting smile and a cup of warm
