Zara's phone rang at the perfect time.She glanced at the screen and gave a sorry smile. "It's Mr. Schmidt calling. It must be something important. I'll step outside to take it. You guys continue eating. Don't wait for me."The others made disappointed noises, but Zara ignored them and hurried out to the terrace through the glass door.Yaxley watched her go. He picked up a glass of wine without much thought and sipped on it, his eyes hiding his thoughts.Outside, Zara quickly turned off her phone's alarm. Her face turned serious and cold.She made up her mind that after tonight, she would have a serious talk with Yaxley. She would tell him to stop these games once and for all.Having fun was one thing, but she could not stand being bullied or threatened.The terrace was big, full of flowers and greenery. Dim floor lamps were scattered around to set the mood, but they did not give off much light.Zara did not hurry back inside. She decided to stay out for half an hour.She wand

"That's nonsense!" Zara burst out, her voice shaking. She just could not win against this guy.She explained, feeling cornered, "Why didn't I say no? With so many people around, wouldn't he get mad and make my life miserable if I embarrassed him? Won't people like you do that?"She knew all too well how these powerful folks operated.When they were happy, they could be sweet and supportive, even act humble. However, once they were pissed, their sweet words today could turn into tomorrow's revenge.She had learned that lesson from Yosef, had she not? That was why she had to leave her sick mom and run away from Starville to Westwood.Yosef's face softened a bit after hearing her side, and he was not as pushy."I've taken care of the bill for this room. From now on, if you need money, help, or a place, just let me know."Let him know? What did he think they were to each other?Zara held her breath, saw her chance, and pushed him away. They barely separated before he was back to pi

They stayed out playing until past ten that night but eventually left because they all had work the next day.Yaxley had not had a single drink. Whenever someone offered, he would just say, "I've got to drive Ms. Lowry home later."In the end, Zara had no choice but to let him drive her. He pulled the car right up to the hotel door.Zara had never told him her address, but somehow, all these men seemed to know exactly where she lived.She was already thinking about finding a new place to stay.The hotel she was at now was pretty fancy and safer than most. It came with a clean room, breakfast included. It was a good deal and close to work, which made it the best option.As she thought about it, she got annoyed. If it were not for these guys, she would not have to deal with all this hassle.Zara took off her seatbelt and grabbed the car door handle, but she did not get out right away. Instead, she called out, "Mr. Lark."Yaxley had removed his coat and was just in a sweater that

While Zara was at a loss for words, Yaxley reached into the car door's pocket and handed her a leather bag. "Here's the scoop on Morter. Give it some thought."Zara paused for a moment and then took it. "Thanks, Mr. Lark."Yaxley grinned. "Head up and get some rest. Don't forget your medicine before bed. You'll recover quicker. You still sound a bit raspy."She had one more question. "How did you know I'd be at Epitome Gastronomy today?"Yaxley suddenly got playful. "It's destiny. We'd find each other no matter the distance."Hearing this, she just opened the door and stepped out.Behind her, Yaxley let out a soft laugh....The following day, Zara and Stefan headed out to see some clients.They had their meeting in a theater and chatted about work while catching a show. When the play ended, so did most of the negotiation.They had more to do, so they said their goodbyes and stood up to leave.Walking down from the third floor to the second, they bumped into Charvi, who was

Schmidt Group had a cafeteria where employees could eat, but Zara thought if she went there, people might talk about her behind her back while they ate. Thus, she chose a little diner near work for lunch.The diner's doors were wide open to the street, and Leah just happened to walk by and peek inside. It was then she spotted Zara."Zara, what a coincidence!"Even though Zara had been really upset with Leah at the Hoster family's place and had kind of snapped at her, grown-ups could still act nice to each other unless they were really mad.Zara smiled too. "It is a coincidence, Ms. Nox. What are you doing around here?"Leah sat down across from her and ordered the same pasta as Zara."I heard there's an old bookstore nearby with some rare old books. I wanted to see if they had the one I've been looking for."Zara nodded, asking, "Did you find it?""No," Leah said, looking a bit sad. "But it's okay. I still have some time before Mr. Webb Senior's birthday. I'll ask some friends

Zara stumbled as someone pulled her arm. Looking closely, she saw it was Jane.Jane's eyes were red as she said, "Ms. Lowry, I know I made a mistake. Please forgive me and let me come back to Schmidt Group."Zara was surprised for a moment, then she calmed down.She gently removed Jane's hand from her arm and explained, "Ms. Cooper, you're giving me too much credit. It was Mr. Schmidt's choice to let you go, not mine."Without saying more, Zara walked away.Jane broke down, crying and shouting after her."Zara! You think you're so special, but we all know how you got into Schmidt Group—through Mr. Schmidt's brother! And now you strut around with Mr. Lark's help! Just wait! Your time will come, and I'll be there to see it!"They were near Schmidt Group's office, and it was lunchtime, so many employees were around. They watched the CEO's secretary and the former assistant argue on the street, peeking with curiosity.Zara did not look back and headed straight into Schmidt Group's

Zara cleared her throat and said in a raspy whisper, "If you want this table, it's all yours."Yosef's brows were furrowed together. "What's up with your throat?"Zara kept trying to leave, but Yosef ordered, "Sit and eat. I'll take you to the hospital after.""I don't want to bother you, Mr. Webb," she said, determined to leave. Yosef, however, was not someone she could easily say no to.The two of them put up a struggle, and the plate in Zara's hand tipped. Some of the food spilled and scalded Zara's hand. Anger flared up inside her.With a loud smack, she dumped the plate on the table, making everyone in the restaurant look their way.Yosef's expression turned stormy in an instant. "Who let you go around breaking dishes?"Yosef would storm off even if it was Ethan who banged the table in front of him, let alone someone else. Zara was bold as brass!...After the commotion, Zara felt a twinge of regret.Seeing Yosef, all she could think of was how he had kept her as a bac

Zara looked down and kept eating her food.Yosef watched her, his voice deep. "Should something said when you're just a kid really matter?"Zara looked up sharply.Yosef, who had not gotten mad when she slammed her plate down or when she had boldly told him to cut ties with his admirers, was now giving her a cold stare."You and Shawn were serious, but don't think everyone's like that. We're not all ready to commit to only one person at a young age. It was just a little fun. She's not my real first love."Zara and Shawn were a high school affair too.her grip on her spoon tightened as she asked, "It doesn't count? Then why do you still do whatever Leah says?"When had Yosef ever done anything Leah said?Zara took a few more bites of her food. Her throat felt sticky and uncomfortable, so she got up to get a glass of water.Yosef leaned back in his chair, his eyes cold.When Zara came back with her water, Yosef tapped the table. "Finish up and I'll take you to the hospital. We

Zara was taken aback for a moment when she saw Jane so close to John.Zara quickly thought back to what Yaxley had told her. John was a married man with two kids, but he was known for not being faithful to his wife.Was that why Jane went to see John after she left Schmidt Group?Zara felt sorry for Jane. She was really good at her job.People made their own choices, and Zara was not one to gossip. She ignored Jane's challenging look and greeted John with a smile."Mr. Hummer, I'm Zara, the secretary from Schmidt Group."John's eyes sparkled when he saw her. He looked her up and down without trying to hide it and grinned from ear to ear. "It's so nice to meet you in person."He shook Zara's hand and held on a bit too long. "I've known about you since your days at Azure Cloud. I wanted to bring you over to Morter, but Mr. Webb wouldn't have it. I really regret losing such a talent. Now, here you are at Schmidt Group."Zara pulled her hand back calmly. "Thanks for the compliment,

John raised his eyebrow. "Ms. Lowry dances?"Jane laughed softly. "She sure does, and it's classical dance too. During a school celebration, many boys started crushing on her after seeing her dance. Her locker was stuffed with love letters. "Ms. Lowry has always been popular with the guys. She knows what they like, and that's why she has always done so well."She looked over the table, which was only set with wine bottles. "The food isn't here yet. Ms. Lowry, why don't you dance on the table for us?"The assistants and the representative from the Business Department looked upset.This was more than a challenge; it was an insult!Dance on the table? Was Jane suggesting Zara was just another dish to be enjoyed?That was ridiculous!They had dealt with pushy partners during deals before, but with Schmidt Group behind them, no one usually dared to go too far. They did not expect that a former colleague from their own Schmidt Group would be so spiteful!Zara kept her cool. She was
