Chapter 331

Yosef, in his sleek black suit, strode into the room with Leah and Charvi by his side and a line of bodyguards behind him. They looked like a powerful wave of authority. Everyone in the room stood up as if pulled by strings. Yosef was a man no one could ignore.John's face froze in shock for a moment before he quickly plastered a grin on his face. "Mr. Webb... Mr. Webb! What a surprise to see you here!"Yosef glanced at Zara, and she felt her heart skip a beat. She was not expecting him to show up. The winter chill of Westwood was no match for Yosef's cool demeanor, even as he peeled off his black leather gloves. "I heard there's a dance show. Thought I'd come and see for myself. You don't mind me dropping in, Mr. Hummer?" he said smoothly."Not at all! You're here to watch the dance too?"John's mind was racing. Everyone knew Yosef had cut ties with Zara. Was he here to settle old scores and watch her stumble?Yosef's reply was cryptic. "I've never seen a dance on a dining ta

Yosef was in charge, thanks to him. Zara and John's deal went without a hitch. They picked a day to sign their contract in no time at all.Zara raised her glass and said, "Here's to Mr. Webb and Mr. Hummer. I hope our three companies can work together in the future."Yosef raised his glass too and gave the table a little tap. That was his way of joining the toast.After that, Zara did not have much to do. John was worried Yosef might still be upset about what happened earlier, so he kept trying to make Yosef happy.Yosef just stayed cool and calm.Zara noticed she was not needed right then, so she informed an assistant and went off to the restroom.When she was done and came out, she saw Leah fixing her makeup in the mirror.Zara washed her hands quietly, dried them with a paper towel, and was about to head back to the party.Leah snapped her makeup compact shut and said, "Zara, you haven't thanked me yet."Zara turned to her and asked, "Oh? For what should I be thanking you?"

The dinner was over, and Zara walked out of Epitome Gastronomy with the folks from Schmidt Group. They were following Yosef.The Business Department representative was quick to say, "Ms. Lowry, we've got to catch the subway. We'll head out."Zara nodded. "Okay, take care. See you at work tomorrow.""See you tomorrow."Once they were gone, Charvi pulled up in Yosef's car.A bodyguard was just reaching for the car door to help Yosef when Zara stepped forward. She swung the back door open and called out, "Mr. Webb."It was a familiar scene for her. Back when she worked at Azure Cloud, she always opened the car door for Yosef, just like what she was doing now.Yosef watched her, his eyes a deep, dark pool.Leah, remembering Zara's words in the restroom, held on to Yosef's sleeve even tighter. Yosef's gaze, however, stayed on Zara. Leah's jealousy flared, and she dashed over to shove Zara aside."Why aren't you leaving with your colleagues, Ms. Lowry? If you need a cab, you'd bette

Not at all.Zara was desperate to slide off Yosef's lap.His arm, though, was wrapped around her waist like a seatbelt, keeping her pinned in place.She caught a whiff of his clean, snow-like scent. She bit her lip, and with a determined push, she managed to stand up. They were locked in a silent battle of will.The car wobbled on the spot. To anyone passing by, it looked as if the people inside were… well, up to something.Charvi, sitting in the front, wished she could disappear beneath the car rather than be inside it.Perhaps it was the car's odd shaking or the duration it had been parked, but the doorman of Epitome Gastronomy came over and knocked on the window. He peeked inside."Hello..."Without tinted windows, the scene inside was clear—a man and a woman in an awkwardly close proximity.Yosef's icy stare sent a shiver down the doorman's spine, making him back away fast."I'm so sorry!"With Yosef distracted, Zara wriggled free and scooted to the far seat. She put a s

Honk!The light turned green, yet the car in front was not moving. Charvi honked to remind the driver, jolting Yosef back to the present.Zara's voice was cool and distant. "She made a point of saying I had a locker full of love letters just to make me seem like I made questionable choices in my personal life."She sure knew how to make a girl look bad.Out of nowhere, Yosef asked, "Did you really have a locker full of love letters?""So what if I did? They shoved them in my locker before I could even say no. Is that supposed to be my fault?""Did you read them?""No."His voice was cold. "You threw them out?"Zara gave him a puzzled look. "I didn't read them, but I didn't throw them away either."Although she did not really want those letters, it seemed rude to toss out something that someone had put their heart into. She remembered collecting them all and stuffing them into a bag.The car's lights flickered as they drove past the mall, casting strange shadows over Yosef's

Zara's brows were furrowed together. Yosef claimed she owed him from high school? What was he talking about?They went to the same high school, but she barely knew him then. She had only heard his name and seen him a few times. How could she owe him anything?Not this again. He kept saying she owed him, but for what?Zara asked him directly, looking him in the eye and waiting for his response.Yosef's lips were thin and sharp. The next moment, he released her hand. His face was cold as he unbuckled his seatbelt and stepped out of the car.Ignoring her, he walked into the small, cozy restaurant.Zara was puzzled.She took a deep breath and followed him in.It was now past ten, and dinner time was over. The restaurant was quiet. Yosef headed straight for a corner table, and the waiter quickly brought over the menu.Yosef did not even glance at it. "One of each," he said.With that said, Zara's frown deepened. “Are you trying to get back at me this way?” Zara thought he was wasting her mo

Zara offered him a spoon. Yosef gave a soft huff before taking it.Zara noticed Charvi approaching and called out, "Ms. Holland, come sit with us and eat."Charvi smiled, said okay, and sat down.With someone new at the table, Yosef did not feel it was right to talk about personal stuff, so he stayed quiet for the rest of the meal.The restaurant was by the river. When they finished eating and went outside, it was after 11:00 pm. The place was almost empty.Zara was about to get in the car. Yosef, however, grabbed her arm, "Let's walk a bit to help our food settle."She was polite in her rejection. "Mr. Webb, it's really late. And I need to be at work tomorrow."Yosef pulled a little harder and started walking. "You can't just eat and then go straight to bed. Don't you know that's bad for you?""Mr. Webb, you sure know a lot these days," Zara said as she pulled her hand away, yet she ended up walking with him by the river anyway.Yosef's long coat billowed in the night wind.

Chapter 338

Zara's high school was one of the best in the city, filled with kids from rich families. It was known as an elite school, and Zara had earned her spot there with her top-notch grades.With so many rich kids around, life at school was pretty fancy. One day, a student would donate new sports gear, and the next day, another would upgrade the pianos in the music room.Once, someone even treated the whole school to afternoon tea every day, with fancy desserts and milkshakes from popular brands. Zara had put on quite a few pounds from all those treats.Zara always thought that compared to all the fancy stuff, food was the most practical. They had lunch early and got out late, and by four or five in the afternoon, they were really hungry.She just could not remember who had sponsored those treats."What are you looking at?" Yosef asked as he turned around. "Aren't you coming?"Zara looked away, got in the car, and shut the door. Now, they were off to the hotel.They rode in silence mos

It made sense. Leah had said he had not been sleeping well at this hotel for the past two nights, so he must have gone somewhere else to sleep.Zara headed upstairs alone, went into her room, and did not bother to sit down. She grabbed her clothes and headed straight for the bathroom to freshen up.The warm water poured over her, washing away the day's weariness. She thought about everything that had happened today, especially about Yosef and his odd behavior.He really did seem different...That thought made Zara splash her face with water.In the wild, lots of animals disguised themselves to hunt. They tricked their prey and struck with precision, like crocodiles in rivers, tigers in forests, or geckos in trees.Then there was Yosef, pretending to be nice.Zara was sure Yosef was just trying to trick her with his half-true, half-false words.She had dug through all her high school memories, and there was no sign of Yosef anywhere.She had to stop thinking about it.If she k

Chapter 340

Zara had a meeting with John to sign a contract the next morning.She got to the office bright and early. She had a quick chat with the legal and business teams. Then, at ten on the dot, they all headed downstairs to greet their guest.Even though John was too cautious to make things tough for them, they still needed to present themselves well. As soon as they spotted John's car, a voice called out, "Zara!"Upon instinctively turning around, Zara saw Leah approaching. Her forehead creased with worry.Leah stared at her and said firmly, "I need to talk to you. Let's find somewhere private to chat."Zara responded with politeness, "I'm sorry, Ms. Nox, we're in the middle of meeting a client. We don't have time right now."Leah said in a serious tone, "Are you saying you don't want to talk to me alone and you'd rather talk here in front of everyone?"John had just stepped out of his car, so Zara quickly looked at her colleague, who got the hint and went to welcome him.Zara then a
