"What?"Zara was puzzled. Why on earth did he bring up Shawn?Her history with Shawn was ancient, from their high school days, long before she knew him."I don't get what you're saying, Mr. Webb."Yosef's face was stiff. "That'd be for the best."Zara was lost. She did not understand what he was getting at.Yosef glared at her as if her questions were a nuisance. He suddenly seemed fed up.He let go of her waist and said, "Stay out of my sight for a while." He then walked off alone.Zara watched him go, totally baffled by his sudden mood swings.She was alone among strangers and felt a bit out of place.Having been to enough of these parties, she found her footing after a bit.She found a quiet corner in the banquet hall and kept to herself.If she could just stay put until the party was over, that would be just fine with her.The party would end tonight, and tomorrow, she would leave the ship. The day after, she would quit her job. Everything would be on track.Things we

Zara was very close to the man's chest and caught a whiff of a strange but nice scent.It reminded her of pine and cypress trees in a forest—cool and mysterious. It made her curious.Zara's confusion lasted only a moment. She tried to look up at the man's face.Before she could see him, her eyes were covered again. The man had picked up the blindfold and tied it back around her head.All Zara saw was the man's chin. She knew he was not Yosef, the man she knew so well."Um, how should I address you?" Zara whispered.The man paused and did not say a word. He finished tying the blindfold before gently holding her hand.The lady on stage called out, "Time's up! Everyone's paired up, so let's get our dance party started!"As the beautiful music filled the air, Zara felt the man's arms wrap around her waist.She knew he was not trying to be rude or anything. She could tell. Thus, she did not pull away when he led her onto the dance floor.Blindfolded, Zara let the man guide her thro

Stanley glanced down at her and said, "Hmm? I'm not sure. It was dark, and I couldn't really see. When the lights came back on, you were right next to me, so maybe it was."Zara looked around and noticed that nobody else had their eyes covered.She figured the game was supposed to be about finding a dance partner blindfolded. Only then could they take off their blindfold.That guy kept her blindfolded, so she could not see a thing.He did not want her to see him on purpose.Even in the dark, where it was hard to see, he did not want her to catch even a glimpse.That guy definitely was not Stanley.Stanley asked, "Ms. Lowry?"Zara stopped thinking about the mysterious man for a second and turned back to Stanley. "Thanks, Professor Schmidt."The waiters had cleaned up the cake that had crashed to the floor, and even the carpet was swapped out for a new one. It was all done in under 15 minutes. The Stewart family's efficiency was impressive.The music had started playing again,

They were just dancing, so Zara and Stanley were not holding onto each other tightly. Yosef took advantage of this, pushed Sarah toward Stanley, and then held Zara close.Zara found herself suddenly back with Yosef, looking at him in surprise. He seemed indifferent.She felt like just a thing to him, tossed aside when he did not care and grabbed back when he wanted.She did not feel respected at all.Zara asked sternly, "Mr. Webb, what are you doing?""Why? Are you upset because I came between you and Professor Schmidt?" Yosef's voice was icy. "Did you forget that you belong to me?"Belong to him?That was right. To him, she was just a thing, a tool without her own thoughts or feelings. She was supposed to orbit around him, ready to jump at his command. Her fate was entirely in his hands.Zara did not want to dance with him anymore.She did not even want to look at him.The feelings she had been holding in all day finally burst out.She tried to get away from him, but he was

Zara was scared of Yosef.She could not imagine what he might do with the contract.That was just how people were. The less they knew, the more uncertain and scared they became.Yosef did not try to stop Zara again. He simply released her hand and walked upstairs with long strides.He did not tell her to come along.His walking away, however, seemed to clearly say, 'I dare you not to follow.'Zara's mind raced for a solution, and she accidentally caught Stefan's eye. He gave her a slight nod.Zara took a deep breath and finally decided to head upstairs.She knew that with Stefan around, he would be there to help her out.Even if he was doing it just to be nice to Stanley, the deal she offered him was too good to pass up.He was on her side.The first floor buzzed with the laughter and chatter of guests having fun. The real action, however, was on the second floor. That was where the VIPs hung out.Maxwell gave Yosef a friendly pat on the shoulder. "The gang's playing Spades

Maxwell said his back was hurting just to get away. He had heard some news and rushed back to his room. He quickly asked his secretary, "Is it true Shawn got on the boat?""Anders thinks he saw someone who looks like Shawn. He's not sure, though."Maxwell could not help but laugh, but he was actually upset: "He hides even at his own family's party. Is he scared of something here? His mom's family has really spoiled him!"He ordered, "Go find him!"His secretary answered, "Yes."Maxwell thought it over. "Do it quietly. Don't make a fuss."He had his reasons... He did not want to mess things up for Shawn.His secretary answered, "Yes."Still worried, Maxwell headed to the room where the card game was happening.It was quiet there for a moment.Yaxley had asked for Zara.Yosef looked over at Zara. He was in the shadow of a tall lamp behind him. This made it hard to see his face, and no one could tell what he was thinking.Zara held her breath for a second.It all hinged on wha

"Mr. Lark, you flatter me. Maybe it's just because I've practiced a lot. I wasn't always this good. As the chief secretary of Azure Cloud, I often had to mingle with CEOs and their spouses on behalf of the company. That's how I got better."Mr. Lark stopped shuffling the cards for a moment.Chief secretary...Mingling with all those CEOs and their wives...He pondered for a second. "Hmm."Yosef glanced at Zara after her insightful comment and laid down a card.Zara followed suit, looking at him calmly and confidently. She had made that comment for Yaxley, but even more for him.Was he seriously considering getting rid of her? Had he thought it through?She was the chief secretary, holding the keys to Azure Cloud's many client relationships. If he dared to cross her, she might just spill some secrets.Zara casually chatted with Yaxley about what the big clients liked and their quirks, careful not to spill any real secrets. If Yaxley ended up stealing a client or two, no one cou

Zara did not notice how heavy her head felt until she finally relaxed. Her forehead was hot to the touch, and she knew she had a fever.She got some cold medicine from a waiter and took it, hoping to find a quiet spot to rest.She bumped into Harper, who looked surprised and asked, "You're not with Yosef?"Catching on took Zara a moment. She pointed upstairs vaguely, then walked past Harper to sit on a couch near the window.Harper glanced at her twice before deciding to head upstairs by himself.Sitting alone, Zara's head was spinning more with each passing minute, and she struggled to stay upright.She wanted to return to her room, but even the short walk seemed too much. She stumbled, and the room seemed to whirl. As she fell, a pair of leather shoes appeared before her.There it was again—that faint smell of pine and cypress.…The people upstairs were wrapping up their business and were ready to have some fun.Harper and Yosef walked down together.Harper had sought out Y

Two men came up to her, obviously drawn by her looks. They crouched down to talk to her.Zara did not look up, and one man boldly pinched her chin.Yosef watched with an icy gaze, memorizing the faces of the two men.When one of the men caught a clear glimpse of Zara's face, he recognized her as someone close to Yosef. He quickly whisked his friend away, not daring to cause any more trouble.Zara scooped up her hairpin from the ground, held it tight, and wobbled to her feet on the deck.She looked so fragile, like a little lamb that anyone could come by and take a bite.Yosef had never realized before how easy it was for others to pick on Zara.Even worse, she suddenly headed toward a spot where the cameras could not see. The security captain, after flipping through several camera feeds, could not spot her anywhere.Yosef asked in a deep, serious tone, "Where is she?""Mr. Webb, just a moment, please..." The security captain kept switching views, but there was no luck. She was

Harper found nothing and was about to shut his laptop when a woman behind him spoke up, "It happened at 8:30 pm? Hmm, I think I heard that splash..."She was speaking quietly to a friend. It was a mystery how Yosef, standing a few meters away, caught her words. He swiftly turned and looked at her."What did you hear?" he asked, his voice deep and serious.The woman paused, then said with uncertainty, "At 8:30 pm, I was going back to my room on the third floor to grab something. On my way back to the party, I passed a room and heard yelling and a splash. It sounded like something, or someone, had fallen into the water..."Yosef's eyes narrowed. "Can you show me which room?"The woman nodded quickly and led Yosef to the third-floor room.Yosef did not hesitate and knocked on the door.The door swung open to reveal a man with a bruised nose and puffy cheeks. He was shocked to see Yosef. "Mr. Webb, what are you..."Yosef took a quick look at the messy room behind him. There were ch
