Chapter 261

Zara suddenly remembered the time on the Stewart family's yacht. Yosef had led her to a room upstairs where Yaxley was waiting at a table, demanding she light his cigarette for him.If she had done it, she would have felt like she was disrespecting herself, so she refused.What she did not expect was for Yaxley to dig up that old incident and try to settle the score now.Once Zara caught on, she felt the same sense of being looked down upon as before—with an added sting of being mocked without even knowing it.She was quietly fuming.It was just lighting a cigarette, nothing more. She did not even have a good reason to make a scene.Yosef gave her a blank look before going back to his conversation with Yaxley, though his voice had turned noticeably cooler.Zara kept eating quietly. Just then, her phone buzzed with a message from Stanley. He was asking for some data, which she quickly sent over.Stefan: [How's your mom? Are you at the hospital? I might drop by to see her.]Zara

Leah bit her lip and stood up. "Just wait here for me, Yaxley."She then hurried out of the private dining room....Yosef had to return to his office, while Zara was off to visit her mom in the hospital.They said their goodbyes at the restaurant door. Zara said in a formal tone, "Mr. Webb, I'm heading out."Yosef eyed her suspiciously. "Did you report Yaxley for smoking inside?"She kept her cool. "Mr. Webb, I really didn't."Not quite convinced, he showed a smirk. "I never said you were wrong to do it."Zara was not about to admit to anything just because he suggested it. She did not trust him."Mr. Webb, I really didn't do it."Yosef was not in the mood for small talk. He gently held Zara's chin and looked into her eyes. "Listen, you don't have to do everything people tell you, unless I'm the one asking. Do you understand?" Zara bit her lip and nodded slightly."Good. Finish up quickly and pack when you get home. You're coming with me to Rofey Manor this weekend."Zar

Chapter 263

Oh.That was why Yosef left East Coast last night. Beatrice had an accident.The blood on his coat and the smell of disinfectant were from Beatrice.He stayed with her all night? That really showed he cared.Zara looked at them, saying softly, "I'll be at East Coast tonight, and I'll probably be with Yosef in the next couple of days too. Beatrice, you can keep calling him away. If he wants to go to you, I won't stand in the way."Beatrice froze for a moment before shooting to her feet. "You!"Her eyes were filled with tears, as if she had been hit hard. She could not find the words to say.Georgia Tanner, Beatrice's mom, was even more furious and tried to push Zara. "You little troublemaker!"Zara stepped aside with a small smile on her face before walking away.Georgia shouted after her, "Showing off in front of his real girlfriend after messing with their relationship, you have no shame at all!"Zara rode the elevator straight to the top floor.They thought she was picking

Zara decided to ignore him.It was winter, so not sweating much meant she could wear the same clothes for a couple of days without a problem.She had a plan, however. She reached out to a salesperson at a brand store she had shopped at before, asking them to help pick out two outfits. She was willing to pay extra to have the clothes delivered right to Rofey Manor.It was late, though, and the salesperson had already left for the day. They promised to take care of it first thing in the morning.Zara sent a thank you message.…Yosef and Zara arrived at the manor at midnight. Yaxley himself came out to greet them, and his eyes lit up when he saw Zara. "Mr. Webb, you brought Ms. Lowry too? Great! We're all up playing cards. It's more fun with more people. Why don't you join us?"Yosef nodded and then asked Zara, "You in?"Zara gave a polite no. "Mr. Webb, I'm pretty sleepy.""Alright. Ms. Lowry, you go on and get some sleep. You'll want to be rested for tomorrow's fun," Yaxley

Yosef frowned deeply and switched on the lamp beside the bed.Zara's nose was a bit red from all the sneezing, and her eyes were watery.He watched her sneeze again.Yosef lost his cheerful mood, sat up, and asked in a serious tone, "Are you really cold?"Zara sniffed. "Maybe it's because you're cold, Mr. Webb."Yosef had just come in from the chilly winter morning.He moved away from her and saw her huddle under the covers. Frowning, he asked, "Isn't it uncomfortable to sleep in jeans?"Zara thought she had to put up with it. She could not wear the hotel's bathrobe. That would be too easy for him."I don't have any other clothes to change into," she said.Yosef started unbuttoning his shirt and looked at her coolly. "Your clothes are in the suitcase. Go get them yourself."Zara was surprised. "Mr. Webb, you packed clothes for me?"Yosef gave a small hum and a smirk. "Or would you rather wear my clothes?"Zara did not expect him to bring her clothes. She used to pack for hi

Yosef narrowed his eyes and picked up his phone to make a call to Charvi."Is Jolene's assistant still looking after Zara's mom?"Charvi confirmed, "Yes, we need to keep an eye on it until tomorrow."Yosef then instructed, "Tell the legal department to draft a contract."...Zara wondered where to have breakfast.The attendant guided her to the manor's dining hall.She chose a plate of pasta and was handing back the menu when someone took a seat across from her.It was Yosef, who was dressed casually."Get me the same," he said.Thus, Zara ordered another plate for him.She could tell he was not in the best of spirits, probably because of something that happened earlier. She thought for a moment before asking kindly, "Mr. Webb, why not sleep a bit more? You had a late night.""Couldn't sleep, thanks to someone," Yosef replied as he poured warm water into a clean cup."Why not head back to bed after breakfast or maybe take a nap later?"Yosef's gaze was intense as he looke

Zara took a deep breath and said with composure, "I was thinking maybe three or five years, not ten. That surprised me. Really, work is work, wherever it is. Ten years at Azure Cloud could be good."Yosef said, "Then sign. An electronic signature is legally binding. I'll watch you do it."He was relentless.Zara put her phone down. "I trust you, Mr. Webb, but ten years... If I live to 80, that's an eighth of my life. And I've already spent 25 years, so there's not much time left."Yosef scoffed. "It's just a contract, not your life.""It feels like half my life," Zara said with a sad smile. "I've been with you since I was 22, fresh out of college. Three years, and all I've got to show for it is my poor health."She did not wear any makeup because she did not have any. Her skin was so clear and smooth that she looked perfect even in the sunlight. Without lipstick and blush, however, she looked a little pale.Yosef watched her with eyes as dark as a deep lake, saying nothing.Zar

Chapter 268

Zara had just been through a tough game of wits with Yosef, and she was worn out. Exhaling, she glanced out the window. "Are those targets on the lawn? For archery or for guns?"The attendant arrived with their breakfast and answered with a smile, "They're for archery, but we've got a shooting range too. It's just inside."Zara perked up. "Archery targets, cool!"Yosef was about to dig into his seafood risotto when he noticed her interest. "Wanna give archery a shot? I can show you how."Faced with the choice of sleeping in or shooting arrows, Zara did not hesitate to pick archery.…After they finished eating, they headed out to the lawn together.They thought they would have the place to themselves, but when they got there, they ran into Stefan, Sarah, and a woman they had not seen before. The vibe between the three was a little awkward.As they joined, everyone looked away for a moment.Stefan greeted them with an easy smile, "We didn't expect anyone else to be up and about

Stefan pretended not to notice.Tanya hugged her arms across her chest, her grin growing wider. "Some people just don't get it. She wasn't even invited, but here she is, tagging along like a bad rash you can't get rid of. "If she likes playing the servant so much, then let her. That's all she's good for."Zara, just watching from the side, winced at those harsh words.Tanya blinked innocently. "Oh, Ms. Weber, don't get me wrong. I wasn't talking about you. But could you open the umbrella? I'm starting to burn."Sarah had put makeup on, helping to hide her expression just a little. Her lips were pressed into a thin line.Zara had a strange feeling that Sarah was not just upset because of Tanya's words. It was more about Stefan hearing everything and not caring at all.She glanced at Yosef. Sarah had been with him once. Now that she was being mocked, what was he thinking?Yosef's brows creased, but it was because of Zara. "Is your chest guard on backward?"Zara blinked, looked

Yosef took a deep breath and grabbed another arrow.All three archers were pretty evenly matched, though Tanya's arrows kept missing. The worst shot did not even make it halfway to the target.The first round's winners were Zara and Yosef.Right then, Yosef's phone rang. He signaled to Stefan, who nodded. "Go ahead, Mr. Webb. I'll be here with Ms. Lowry."Yosef remembered Zara was initially supposed to start working at Schmidt Group...He squeezed Zara's fingers lightly and said calmly, "This next round, it's you and Mr. Schmidt. Show us what you've got, Ms. Lowry."Zara nodded. "Okay."Yosef stepped away to answer his call.Stefan picked up a compound bow and stood next to Zara. "Compound bows are tougher to pull than traditional ones. You look so graceful, Ms. Lowry, yet you're stronger than you look.""You get stronger the more you do it. Traditional bows don't have a rest for the arrow, making them trickier to aim. You and Mr. Webb are really good with them," Zara said hon
