Chapter 391

Zara had just gotten back to the hotel when her phone rang. It was Shelby, who was also staying there. She hurried over as soon as she found out Zara was in her room.As Shelby walked in, she unwrapped her scarf, showing off her pretty face. "Sorry, Zara. Harper told me there was something urgent this afternoon, so I left with him without letting you know.""It's all good. Did you get everything sorted out?"Shelby did not know how to explain that Harper's 'urgent matter' was actually a 'once-a-year perfect chance to have a baby'. He had rushed her back to the hotel and then...She ended up slapping him afterward. The slap left a red mark on his pale, handsome face, but he just laughed it off and smoked a cigarette. "My mom met a fortune teller, who said this was the best time to try for a baby. If we're lucky, we might even get twins," he said, not bothered at all.Harper was not the type to do whatever his mom said. He was just bored. Shelby was always off working, leaving him a

Zara's first instinct was to push him away!Her second thought was why was he so hot to the touch?She pressed her hand against Yosef's chest. Even through his clothes, it felt like she was being burned.When she pushed Yosef, he just plopped down on the floor, as if he could not resist at all.The living room light shone on Yosef's pale, handsome face, making it look a little red.Some of his short hair had fallen over his eyes, which made him seem less intense than usual.Zara bit her lip. She could still feel where he had touched her, and she did not look too happy.She had forgotten that Yosef had the key card to her room."What are you doing here?"She remembered how several people had said similar things to her that night. She asked sharply, "Did you come here to convince me to reconcile with Leah? They're offering 1.5 million dollars. How much more are you going to add, Mr. Webb?"Add half a million?No way, Yosef had deep pockets. He would probably double it.Zara's

Yosef was full of energy, and his hands were warm. They felt as hot as a stove, sending warmth right into Zara's heart.For the fourth time, Yosef asked her, "Aren't you over it yet?"Zara could not help but laugh out of frustration. How could he expect her to just get over it when he had not done anything to fix the problem?She tried to pull her hand away, but Yosef held on tight. They struggled in silence, each pulling in their own direction. This made Zara even more upset until she finally yanked her hand free.Yosef lost the tug-of-war and looked really disappointed. His eyes were drooping, and he seemed totally worn out.Even his breath felt hot as he said, "It wasn't Beatrice who paid off the caretaker. She wouldn't dare. Please, just trust me this time."Zara thought he was just making excuses.If it was not Beatrice, then who was it?He should at least give her a name!Zara did not even have to go to work, but she was in a hurry to get away from Starville because she

They stared at each other. After a few seconds, Yosef closed his eyes. Tired, he whispered, "Take care of me. If I die, no one will like you anymore."His words broke through her frustration, leaving her feeling scattered and lost.For the first time ever, he made it clear—he liked her.This guy had a knack for hitting a nerve. Growing up, she could count on one hand the people who actually liked her.Her parents? She could not shake off the memory of them once agreeing to use her to pay off a debt.If her own folks felt that way, it was no wonder others did too. Yaxley was all talk, and Shawn had ditched her to go overseas.Hardly anyone had ever cared about her. Yosef's piercing words made her heart ache so much she felt numb.However, did he really like her? Was it not Beatrice he was into?What a jerk, tricking her again.Zara's bed had a blanket spread out on it. She grabbed the edge and yanked it, pulling Yosef and the blanket right off the bed.The bed was not tall, bu

Mr. Webb, Make Your Move!/Tammy

Yosef was the one person Zara just could not figure out. She was a secretary who could handle any situation and had been around the block in the grown-up world. She was used to understanding people quickly, usually over the course of a meal. She knew exactly how to deal with them. However, Yosef was different. Even after three years, he remained a mystery to her. She thought she was just another replaceable part of his life, someone he would not miss if she left. Yet, he was insistent, always making sure she stayed close by.She used to think he was surrounded by women, as many as fish in a river. He could pick and choose as he pleased. However, he told her he was hooked on her and her alone.She figured he just wanted to win her over, to have her, and maybe, he was a bit stubborn about it. However, then he showed her the bright fireworks, wished her a happy New Year, called her his good girl, and suggested they give it another shot...At this moment, Yosef told her, "I don't like

Zara bit her lip and said, "Yosef, I can't believe you don't have any feelings for Beatrice. I just can't. If you don't care about her, why are you still protecting her?"My mom has to live with an artificial heart because of what Beatrice did, and my mom's mind isn't even working right anymore... I'm so scared that one day, I'll go home and she won't know who I am. Or worse, she won't be there at all."Please, get off me. Every time I see you, I remember how you always stood up for Beatrice when I tried to talk to you about what she did. You always take her side, even though you say you like me. That's not how you show someone you like them, it's just not."Yosef looked into Zara's eyes and saw them shimmering with unshed tears.She looked so hurt.This was not the first time she had looked at him that way.It reminded him of the Thanksgiving Day parade float incident when Beatrice blamed Zara for the mishap, and he scolded Zara instead of helping her. He had never been harsh with her

Zara bit her lip. "Has the Nox family made some kind of promise to you?"Stefan did not say it outright, but his silence was enough.Business was all about trading favors, and the Nox family had offered Stefan something tempting enough to get him on board with making peace.Stefan was being pretty decent about it too. He did not pull rank and demand she make up with them, but he did sweeten the deal.The sweetener was not just the promise of a raise. It was also an unspoken promise not to fire her for the slip-ups she had made at work lately.Zara let out a breath, feeling touched. The Nox family was going all out to protect Leah, reaching out to Zara in every way they could, with kindness and with pressure. It was tough not to be moved by the love of a parent."Mr. Schmidt, I'll think it over," she said.After she hung up, Zara finished her pasta.She headed back to her room. She stopped by the front desk to ask them to send up some light food that would be easy on a sick pers

Zara remained leaning against the wall even after the call had ended.While Zara was relaxing in the warm waters of Rofey Manor, she remembered Leah talking about Shawn buying a company back home and planning to take it public. She had not thought much about it then, but Stanley's words made her wonder.Was Shawn really coming back?Leaning against the wall, Zara looked up, her mind drifting to last New Year's Eve.That night had stuck with Yosef, and she had seen Shawn then too.Shawn had come back to visit from time to time, so it was not like she had not seen him at all.Her gaze was distant as she got lost in her thoughts. She did not even notice Yosef standing at the doorway.Yosef watched her. She seemed to be reminiscing. He really wanted to know what she was thinking about.Soon after, Zara's phone rang again. It was Shelby."Shelby," Zara answered."Terence and Wilson Nox just called me. They want to have lunch with you," Shelby said."I can't eat with them," Zara r

Yosef was in his hotel room, calling for some fresh clothes to be brought up. He had been feeling off for a while, ever since he was in Fleent. However, it was his trip to see Zara that had him rushing from Starville to Westwood overnight that really did a number on him. After getting drenched in the snowfall, he ended up with a fever. He buttoned up his shirt in front of the mirror, his long fingers moving deftly. His face was serious and handsome, a stark contrast to the playful guy Zara saw. The truth was, he only got to stay in Zara's room last night by being a bit of a trickster. Zara had not really forgiven him, not deep down. Their past troubles weighed heavily on her, making their patch-up as delicate as a thin sheet of paper. The good vibes they had built up over New Year's were shattered by Beatrice, and then Zara had her walls up high once more. Yosef shrugged on his coat, feeling irked. He headed out to catch the elevator. That was when he bumped into Harper, who

Chapter 400

Mr. Webb, Make Your Move!/Tammy

Zara did not feel like moving, so she stayed at the same restaurant where she had lunch with Shelby to meet with Terence and Wilson Nox. She just shifted from indoors to a table outdoors under the shade of a parasol.With the New Year's holiday over and everyone back to work, the streets were quieter. Zara's mind wandered to New Year's Eve when she had walked hand in hand with Yosef through the lively streets. They were on their way to the story-telling café. She was lost in the memory until someone pulled out the chair across from her, bringing her back to the present.Snowflakes started to fall again, and the person sitting down was Yosef.He no longer looked sick like he had the night before and that morning. He was wearing a sharp, expensive suit that was perfectly tailored from top to bottom. He was the high-and-mighty Yosef once again.Zara paused for a moment. "Mr. Webb, did you come to back me up even though you're sick? I'm really touched, but Shelby is with me. She's ju
