Chapter 151

Beatrice ran out, and her voice was full of surprise. "Mr. Webb, what brings you here? Why didn't you come in?"She was in her pajamas with only a down jacket thrown on top. It was clear she had rushed outside. She was clearly eager to see him.Yosef simply motioned to his car. "Hop in."Without hesitation, Beatrice hurried to the passenger seat and climbed in. "Mr. Webb."As Yosef drove slowly around the block, Beatrice tried to figure out why he had come. She called out again, a little unsure, "Mr. Webb?"His tone was hard to read. "Zara's friend is in trouble. Did you have something to do with it? And the nasty things said about Zara online, did you write them?"Beatrice's gut reaction was to deny everything. "What trouble? What's going on online? Mr. Webb, what are you talking about?""You really don't know?""I...""I wouldn't be here if I had no evidence," Yosef said coolly.Beatrice fell silent. Zara had said something similar once.She gripped the edge of her jacket,

Zara looked over her shoulder quickly.All she saw was the car's shadow disappearing into the night.Stanley bent down to check on her. "Did you hurt your foot?"Zara was taking out the trash when she bumped into Stanley. He had been worried about her and her friend, so he decided to check on them after his classes were done.She walked over to say hi but tripped into a little hole. Luckily, Stanley caught her just in time. "No worries, I'm not in heels," she said with a smile."How's your friend doing?" he asked."The company let her go. The cops and the lawyers couldn't really do anything, so she's just letting it slide," Zara replied with a sigh.Stanley's glasses caught the light of the night. "So, she's not looking into it anymore?"Zara shook her head. She knew who was responsible, and digging deeper would only hurt herself.Looking into her eyes, Stanley asked softly, "Are you okay with that?"Zara's eyes were cool and clear. "No, but I'll remember this," she said firm

"Did you send me that photo?" Yosef cut to the chase, bringing up the photo of Beatrice kissing someone."What photo?" Zara flipped the script. "Speaking of photos, I think you should keep your lady in check, Mr. Webb. If she doesn't want people to find out the things she did, she shouldn't do them at all. Does Beatrice really think she can do those things and not leave any clues?"Yosef just smirked. "And what if she did leave clues? What can you do?""I'm aware that you're backing her, Mr. Webb, and you can fix any mess she makes. I'll fight back if I'm cornered, though. "I've got nothing to lose, and I draw the line at my family and friends. Push me too far and I'm ready to make sacrifices to take down my enemies."Yosef stared at her. "I'm worried you'll end up losing more than you bargained for."He looked cool and unafraid.Zara's threats probably seemed like just talk to him.She said quietly, "Mr. Webb, you might not be aware, but since I quit, there's been a lot of

Chapter 154

In Starville, everyone looked up to Yosef. Zara had gotten on his bad side, and now everyone treated her like his enemy. When she hit a rough patch, the news spread like wildfire even without Yosef giving out the order. People were always quick to gossip if it meant getting on his good side.Yosef was out at lunch with a client when the client mentioned something odd. He said one of his guys had been at the police station and spotted Zara and her friend there. They were caught up in some kind of argument.Yosef did not say much then, but after lunch, he headed straight over.He pulled out his phone and texted Wilder: [Find out what happened to Zara six months ago. The miscarriage.]...Cecil had made up her mind to lay low back home for a couple of months. She would wait out till after New Year's. Once things settled down, she would return to Starville to job hunt.It was Friday, and Cecil was all packed. Zara drove her to the train station and watched her pass through security

Zara looked down, pretending to be busy with her papers. She missed Yosef's slight frown as he pulled his hand back. "Please have a seat, Ms. Weber."Then, as if it were nothing, his eyes quickly glanced over Zara.Zara worked in science and tech. On this trip, her job was to keep track of data. She did not have much else to do with the other stuff.She did not need to say anything at the meeting, so she stayed quiet the whole time.The meeting went on for more than three hours, ending just before five.As Zara was getting her papers together to leave, Yosef's secretary, Charvi, came up to her. "Ms. Lowry, Mr. Webb wants you to hang back. He wishes to talk to you about the project." Zara asked, "Should I go to his office?""Mr. Webb's chatting with Mr. Moore right now. Just wait in the reception area, okay?"Zara nodded and headed to the reception area to wait.She sat there quietly for half an hour, but Yosef did not call her in.At first, Zara did not mind. It made sense t

Zara could not help but admire Beatrice. No matter how many times they clashed, she always acted like nothing had happened at their next meeting.It was probably a skill she needed for her to be able to stay at Yosef's side. "Ms. Lowry, what are you doing here?"Zara did not even look up and just kept eating.Beatrice was not sure what to make of Zara's behavior and asked again, "It's so quiet here after work hours. Ms. Lowry, why are you here so late?"Zara did not answer, and Beatrice bit her lip. "Are you working nearby? Which company?"She asked three times, trying to figure out Zara's purpose. She was worried that Zara was there to see Yosef at Azure Cloud.Finally, Zara finished her snack and looked up. "You're here for Yosef, right? Go on, then. You might still catch the action if you hurry.""What action?" Beatrice asked quickly.Zara just opened a bottle of water and drank, not saying another word.Beatrice's anxiety got the better of her. She clenched her skirt and

Zara gave him a quick look. Did Beatrice spill the beans to him?Stanley was puzzled. "What entertainment?"Zara kept her cool. "I'm not sure what you're talking about.""You're better off not knowing," Yosef said, setting the newspaper aside. "Why didn't you pick up when I called you after the meeting yesterday?"Zara pulled out her phone, pretending to be puzzled. "I didn't see any missed calls. What time did you call, Mr. Webb? I'll check."She was curious if he would admit to calling her at eight last night.Yosef just stared back at her.Ophite could not figure out what was going on, but he could tell things were a bit tense. He decided to switch topics and said loudly, "I brought everyone milkshakes! "You know that popular milkshake place? They just opened one at Starville Airport. I saw it on my way here and lined up to get a few."Sarah was wearing her favorite color again—a red dress that made her look elegant and stylish. She did not seem to mind the cold as she was

"Yesterday, you sent Ms. Benett to the office to look for me and Mr. Webb, and it almost turned into a big mess," Sarah told her.Zara turned away coolly and pulled down the window shade.Sarah kept smiling. "I'm surprised. After everything on the ship and with you gone from Azure Cloud, you still seem to be really possessive of Mr. Webb. I was just catching up with him, and you tried to mess it up."Mess it up?They had two hours to finish whatever they were doing!Zara wondered if Beatrice had only seen the aftermath or if she had actually walked in on something happening.She frowned as she imagined that scene.A flight attendant stopped by and asked politely, "Can I get you ladies anything to drink?""Just half a cup of lemon water, thanks," Zara said, feeling a little queasy.The flight attendant handed Zara her drink, and she sipped it down.Sarah's voice was a whisper, trying to bait her. "Ms. Lowry, you do care about my relationship with Mr. Webb, right... Is it jealo

Zara did not realize how chilly Aquaville was until they arrived. Her clothes weren't nearly warm enough, so she decided to pop over to the mall for a cozy down jacket.By chance, she bumped into Stanley in the lobby. They both had not packed for the cold, so after a bit of playful teasing, they decided to go jacket shopping together.Zara chose a soft beige jacket, and Stanley picked out the same one in black.Worried that Stanley might try to pay for her, Zara quickly paid for her jacket while he was busy browsing other items."Zara."She heard Stanley's voice behind her.Turning around, she found him draping a scarf around her neck. "This will keep you extra warm," he said.He adjusted the scarf around her. Zara, feeling her hair come loose, casually retied it without noticing how close they seemed. They were just like a couple in love.Right there in the mall, Yosef and Sarah caught this tender moment between them.Sarah and Yosef watched the couple for a bit before Sarah

"Who else were you expecting?" Yosef's gaze was icy. "Is it a problem for me to stand here and send a text, Ms. Lowry?"Something was not adding up.Ophite and his secretary were up on the 20th floor, while Yosef, his secretary, Charvi, and Sarah were on the 19th. She and Stanley were on the 17th floor.Why would Yosef come down to the 17th floor?Was he looking for Stanley himself?Surely, he was not here for her?Zara's eyes darted briefly, but that did not matter right now. She noticed they were standing too close, and she could smell the strong scent of alcohol on his breath.Had he been drinking after they returned from the mall?Zara spoke up firmly, "Mr. Webb, please let go of me."Yosef was staring at the scarf wrapped around her neck, the one Stanley had helped her with.His stare turned colder by the second as he remembered everything about her and Stanley lately.Then, his eyes dropped to the floor.Her shopping bag had tumbled down, spilling clothes everywhere.
