Chapter 171

Yosef was at the hospital with Sarah when he got Ophite's text. He simply responded: [Mhm.]Then, a call came through on his phone. He saw it was Beatrice and declined it without a second thought.Sarah, who was sitting close by, noticed the caller was Beatrice.She looked at him with eyes full of meaning and spoke in a teasing voice, "You're such a troublemaker, staying here with me while your buddy goes to see Ms. Lowry. And you're still chatting with a Ms. Benett on your phone."Yosef gave her a quick look. "Then just stay in the hospital on your own."Sarah clutched at his shirt. "They say women can't resist a bad boy. The naughtier you are, the more I find you irresistible."Yosef was getting impatient. "You're not even sick. Why do you want to hang around here?"Sarah flicked through her empty messages, feeling a bit down. "But I'm still waiting for that one call. If you're here, you can help me when it comes."Yosef was fed up. "Aren't you bored with all this?""You jus

Zara hurried from the back garden to the hotel lobby, her heart feeling a little shaky. Right then, she heard the beautiful sound of a piano playing with such passion.Without thinking, she looked over and saw someone playing the piano in the lobby. The music was so moving it drew a crowd of people who stopped to listen. Some were even filming it.Zara moved closer to listen.The pianist was playing the most exciting part of 'Time' from 'Inception', a song Zara really liked.She remembered back in middle school, she was running to the high school to look for Shawn and heard this song for the first time in the music room. It had caught her attention right away.She had been in such a rush to find Shawn that she did not see who was playing... This time, she peeked through the crowd to get a look at the pianist.There was Yosef, sitting on the piano bench.He was playing the piano for everyone to hear. His eyes were lowered, and his long fingers danced over the keys, making the mus

Return to his side.Zara got to determine the conditions.She asked, "Like what?"The keys moved under Yosef's fingers, the music flowing. Yosef said slowly. "The chief secretary position is still yours."Zara pressed, "What else?"He added, "A higher salary and a bonus."Zara persisted. "Anything else?"Yosef looked at her, his eyes narrowing. He remembered her as someone who was not so demanding.Since she was willing to talk, it meant she might come back. He stopped playing the piano. "You don't have a car, right? It must be hard to get around."Zara laughed softly. In the three years she was with him, she did not even get jewelry or designer bags—let alone a house or a car. Now, he seemed ready to hand them over just like that.Still, she asked, "Is there more?""I'll take care of your mom's surgery," Yosef said, lifting his chin a little. "That should be enough, shouldn't it?"He was playing his best card, knowing it was what she cared about most. He knew exactly how t

After hanging up the phone, Sarah straightened up her things. Right on time, she knocked on the door next door.The door was not shut all the way and swung open with a gentle push.Stepping inside, she found Yosef lounging on the couch with an open bottle of whiskey on the table.She quirked an eyebrow. "Mr. Webb, did you ask me here just to share a drink with you? I went to all the trouble of putting on makeup, spritzing on perfume, and slipping into my cutest dress, thinking we were going to have a romantic date."Yosef looked up, his eyes lazily drifting over her messy hair and bare face. He did not even bother to glance at her snug down jacket.He silently took another sip of whiskey.Describing his relationship with Sarah was not something he could do in just a few sentences.She settled onto the other couch, crossed her legs, rested her elbow on her knee, and propped up her chin. She watched him with a curious gaze."Feeling down? What's up? Did Ms. Lowry upset you? I saw

Zara bit her lip, wondering aloud, "Should I just go on my own or wait for her a while longer?"Chelsea just shrugged, as if to say it was Zara's call. She had to leave for work with Ophite and could not stick around, so off she went.Zara dialed Sarah's number one more time, thinking she would leave if there was no answer again. It was not her fault Sarah could not keep track of time.This time, Sarah answered. Her voice grew louder as she approached, "Ms. Lowry, I'm here. Sorry for being late."She came up to Zara, ended the call, and said with a sheepish grin, "I've been enduring it for too long and went a little overboard last night. I almost missed work because of it."Zara gave a nod. "Now that you're here, let's get moving. We've got a ton of work to do today."They had a car waiting to take them to where they needed to go.The workload was heavy, and with Sarah running nearly 30 minutes late, they were really pressed for time. The moment they hopped into the car, Zara do

Zara's voice was calm. "You seem to really like talking about your private life with me. Ever since we met on the plane, you've been sharing a lot. "People usually keep their private stuff to themselves, but you're always ready to tell the world. Do you just like the attention?"Sarah's smile was sly. "Does it get to you? Because of what's going on with Mr. Webb? Are you jealous? You were with him for three years, and you guys were so close. You can't just ignore that"Zara did not fall for it and just said her piece, "If that's the case, maybe you should talk to a therapist. Not noticing how this affects others can be a real problem."If you're trying to make me feel like we're competing, or if you're just trying to brag or bug me, it's really not necessary."Sarah's smile slowly faded."I'm actually mad because your attitude isn't professional, and it's causing problems for me too. "I worked all night on a plan to make today's work go smoothly, not to deal with whispers behi

Zara froze for a moment.Yosef looked up, locking eyes with her while he was on a call. His voice was icy. "Think before you call me again."With that, he ended the call.He was clearly in a bad mood and snapped at her, "Come in or let go of the doors. You're wasting my time."Zara was pressing the down button to keep the elevator doors open.She really did not want to share the elevator with him, but waiting for the next one would make her late for her meeting.Thus, she stepped inside.The space in the elevator was small. She stood by the door, trying to stay as far from Yosef as possible. However, she could still catch a hint of his cool, snow-like scent.They rode in silence. His phone rang twice in those few seconds, and he ignored both calls.Zara did not care, but she caught a glimpse of a name on his phone's reflection on the elevator wall.Beatrice.Had he been talking to Beatrice earlier?Zara wondered if the photos of them kissing had caused a fight.Then, out o

Zara froze for a second and then looked up at him. "So what? They're not that hard to find. Every big hospital has them.""Different hospitals have different doctors, and they all have different results. What did your doctor say the chance of infection was? 50%?" Yosef asked without much emotion. "Well, my doctor says it's 10%."Zara gasped. Just 10%!Sharon's doctor, a top director in Starville, could only get the infection risk down to 50%.Yosef's doctor could boost her mom's survival rate from half to 90%.90%!"Ms. Lowry, I'm not trying to threaten you or stop you this time. I'm actually giving you another choice." Yosef let go of her. With a tap of his long fingers, the elevator doors swung open again."It's up to you."Zara stood alone in the elevator, her hands automatically balling into fists.Yosef acted like he was giving her a choice, but she really did not have one.Sometimes, she truly could not stand some of the things Yosef did.He was ignoring Beatrice, and

Sarah rushed back to the hotel and sprinted to the conference room. She flung the door open while yelling."Oh no! Ms. Lowry is missing!"Everyone was just finishing up their work for the day when they all turned to look at her.Stanley stood up quickly. He had just come back from the lab.He had hoped to see Zara when she got back from work, but instead, he was hit with this awful news!"What are you talking about?!"Sarah, pretending to be very worried, explained, "We went to a few places today to gather data. When we were done and about to head back to the hotel, Ms. Lowry said she needed to use the bathroom. "The driver and I waited for her for half an hour, but she never came back."I knew something wasn't right. I checked the bathroom, and it was empty! I tried calling her, but her phone was off! I looked all around and couldn't find her, so I came back to get help. We need to find her fast!"Stanley asked right away, "Where?""The base on Pine Crane Road."Stanley to

"Did I ever say I needed you to meddle in things for me?" Yosef did not stick around to argue. He rushed out of the stairwell.He pulled out his phone to call his driver.Sarah ran after him. "You don't get it. Women love a hero's rescue. Wait another hour until she's all alone and frightened before showing up. She'll melt and take you back for sure.""Come to the hotel entrance to pick me up," Yosef said and quickly hung up. He pushed past Sarah, who was in his way, and hit the down button on the elevator. "You need to learn some manners. Tomorrow, you're going back to your parents."Sarah's face went pale. "I'm trying to help you! How can you be so ungrateful?!"Yosef just stared at the elevator doors, his face cold and distant.Sarah, worried he might actually send her away, protested, "I wouldn't have gone through all this trouble if it wasn't to help you!"When the elevator came, Yosef stepped in without a word and headed down."Drive to the eastern woods," he said....
