Chapter 91

An hour and a half ago, Zara was sitting by herself in the banquet hall, feeling more and more drowsy. She touched her forehead. Her fever had not gone down.Zara stopped trying to keep herself upright. She leaned on the table, stood up, and decided to head back to the room for some sleep.She could have taken the elevator straight to her fourth-floor room, but when she got there, she found a bunch of guys arguing in front of it. They might have been drunk or upset about something else, but they were making quite a fuss and blocking the way.With a frown, Zara chose to take the stairs.She thought she was on the third floor, so it should have been just one more flight up, but she got it wrong.The dinner party was on the second floor, not the third. When she went up one floor, she ended up on the third instead of the fourth.That one wrong floor meant she was definitely going to the wrong room.She was not too dizzy at first, but the sea breeze on the stairwell made her head spi

Zara knew Yosef too well, and she could tell he was in a really bad mood.He was furious.It was rare for Yosef to get this upset. He was so powerful that he could get whatever he wanted with just a word. There was hardly anything that could make him lose his cool. If there was any problem, he would just have someone else take care of it.This time, however, was different."Mr. Webb," Zara called out.In a flash, Yosef grabbed her wrist and yanked her from the messy bed.He pulled so hard that Zara stumbled into his chest without any resistance.He was not wearing cologne, yet he had a clean, sharp scent. It was like fresh snow on a winter's day.His scent was so overpowering that it filled her nose, making her forget any other smell. She could think only of him.Yosef's grip was so tight it almost felt like her wrist would snap. Zara winced in pain and could not help but scold him softly."Mr. Webb!"Yosef did not let go. He was determined to take her with him.Stanley sto

Zara realized he suspected her of doing something with Stanley and wanted to check!She felt so upset she could burst!Did he think she was just something he owned? That no one else could even touch her, and if they did, he had to check?He did not see her as a person at all!She was fed up!Somehow, Zara found the strength to push him off. Straightening her robe, she headed for the door.Yosef was right behind her, however, and grabbed her hand.Zara did not even think before she spun around to slap him.She missed, though.Her other hand was quickly grabbed by the man's big hand. He moved fast, pushing Zara against the wall and pinning her hands behind her.Zara would not give up. She tried to kick him. Yosef stepped in close, stopping her from moving at all."Feeling brave, are you? Trying to hit me?" Yosef glared at her, his face dark and serious.Zara was so mad her chest was rising and falling fast. She could not keep her eyes from getting red. "Yosef! You're the wors

Chapter 94

Stefan reached out with a tissue for her.Zara sighed softly, took a deep breath, and said, "Sorry." She wiped away her tears.Stefan kept quiet. He was a few years older and knew all about the tricky stuff that happened between men and women.He believed that getting too emotional just wore you out. Feelings could really zap your strength, so he always stayed out of the drama."I've texted Stanley to come get you," he said.Zara shook her head. "No need, it's late. I don't want to bother Professor Schmidt."Stefan looked at her and asked, "You need a place to crash tonight, right?"She did not say anything, but she knew he was right.They were on a ship, not on land. It was not like she could just find a hotel and get a room after being kicked out of 'home'. She definitely could not spend the night in Stefan's room.They were not doing anything wrong. However, if someone saw them together, they might get the wrong idea.Yosef also thought she and Stanley had gotten up to som

Chapter 95

Zara had never imagined things with Yosef would end so badly.He had given her away. No matter how it happened, it was done.The danger that had been hanging over her head, like the Sword of Damocles, had finally struck.Maybe it was for the best.Yosef had shattered those memories she had always held onto.Zara set the hairpin on the nightstand. It was too precious to keep. She would return it tomorrow so that he would not have another reason to bother her.She was feeling sore all over. She pushed herself up and flicked on the bedside lamp. She carefully straightened up and folded Stanley's jacket, placing it neatly on the couch.Then, she climbed back into bed, tugged the covers up to her chin, and curled into a ball beneath the warm blanket.Exhausted in every way, she quickly drifted off to sleep, though her rest was fitful and uneasy.Her unease was not just emotional; her body was rebelling too.She would not have thrown up on Stanley if she had been feeling better.A

Zara squeezed her eyes shut. She was feeling puzzled over the silly mistake she made just because she was sick.She pondered for a second before asking the attendant, "Could I borrow some clothes from you? Anything will do."She could not let Stanley see her with no clothes on.The attendant paused. "Would my uniform work?""That's perfect.""Give me ten minutes. I'll go grab it.""Thanks a lot."After the attendant stepped out of the bathroom, she also closed the bedroom door behind her.Zara did not shower. She just dampened a washcloth, wiped off, slipped into a robe, and came out.Her head spun, and she tripped on the bathmat. She was sent tumbling toward the bed.Before she could pick herself up, Yosef burst in.Being sick had turned everything upside down.…Zara would not bother explaining anything to Yosef. If he disliked her, it was for the best. It would make quitting her job that much simpler.She spent the night half-asleep. The next morning, she was still diz

Zara knew he meant well. Since she saw him as a friend, she did not hide anything. She said with honesty, "Professor Schmidt, you don't have to worry. We aren't doing anything illegal."I made a promise to Mr. Schmidt that if he could rescue me, I'd work at the Schmidts for five years. I'd sign a labor contract with him. With my skills, I'm sure I can bring in as much profit as the old city district project."The Schmidts had offered her a job too.Before, Zara had been feeling torn over two companies. One was Chavez Capital, and the other was the Schmidts.After weighing her options, she felt Chavez Capital was a better fit for her, so she had not reached out to the Schmidts.Yesterday, she was left with no other choice, so she had to offer herself as a bargaining chip in her negotiations with Stefan.Stefan thought it over and accepted her offer.He had one condition, however. At Schmidt Group, she would only get a basic salary for five years, with no commissions or bonuses.

Chapter 98

Zara felt a flicker of doubt.When they first started talking business, Stefan seemed really interested in having her join the team. He even reminded her last night about the deal they made.Why did he turn her down today?What she did not realize was that her real troubles were just starting.Zara pulled her suitcase behind her and took a taxi home.Right when she unlocked her door, a loud bang made her jump.A second later, colorful confetti rained down, and Cecil shouted, "Way to go, Zara! You're finally free from all that trouble!"Zara laughed. "Aren't you going a bit overboard? You got confetti and everything. I thought something blew up!"Cecil grinned. "I planned it perfectly. Tomorrow's Saturday, and your contract is up today. I had to celebrate big time for you!"She took Zara's suitcase. "So, did you sort everything out with Yosef? You're splitting up now, right?""Pretty much." Zara did not talk about what happened on the ship and just said, "They gave us a goodby

Chapter 99

Zara hesitated, then texted back that it was no big deal. They could try to meet up another time.Last-minute work and having to stay late were pretty common. Zara did not think too much of it at first. She filled a cup with water from the bathroom and watered a plant near the window.It was a mint plant, with a gentle, cool scent.Suddenly, she had an idea and grabbed her phone again to text Celine: [Hey Celine, should I just come to Chavez Capital on Monday to get started with the job?]After waiting for 30 minutes, there was no reply from Celine.Breathing in the mint's chilly scent, Zara felt her spirits drop.When it was lunchtime, Cecil saw that Zara was still home and asked, "Didn't you have a lunch date with the HR employee from Chavez Capital? Why haven't you gone out?"Zara checked her phone again, but Celine still had not answered. She went on her social media page and saw a picture of some delicious food. There was no location tagged, but she could see a restaurant's

"Mrs. Webb, are you here by yourself?" Zara asked with a smile.Macy gave her a warm hug and looked at her with concern. "My dear, you haven't come by for dinner in over a month. You look like you've lost weight!""I've been really swamped," Zara said, feeling sorry.Macy's face turned serious. "Well, it wouldn't have been much fun here anyway.""What's going on?" Zara wondered.Macy sighed. "Yosef and his dad are the issue. They've been fighting over Beatrice, the young secretary. It has gotten so bad that Yosef has not been home in ages, and he's not answering calls or texts."Yosef had stayed away from home before. He once stayed away for half a year. Ignoring calls and texts, however, was a first.Zara knew the trouble between Yosef and his dad might have something to do with Macy.From what she could see, Macy, being the stepmom that she was, seemed to be doing everything right.After marrying Ethan, Macy decided to get a birth control device. She wanted to prove that she
