"Oh, what did she say?" Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
It sounded careless, but Frederick was Zac's assistant after all.
He quickly understood that this ‘her’ was not Georgia, but Anika.
So Frederick heaved a sigh of relief and replied, "I don't know what she said, but Georgia seems to be quite angry”
“She wasn't just angry.Although Georgia always dressed herself up in a ‘dignified and proper manner” she lacked comprehensive education, so she didn't have much self-restraint.
Her attitude on the phone could already be described as anxious and depressed.
Zac immediately lost interest in continuing his exploration after hearing Frederick's words.
He gently hung up the phone.
The rest of them were playing cards in the private room.
His deep black peach blossom eyes were thoughtful as he sat half-leaning on the sofa, gently shaking the clear and translucent wine cup in his hand.
The most well-known high-end private club in Misty Bridge City was ‘Golden Brilliance’ . The people that came and departed here every day were either wealthy or costly, and they were accompanied by a slew of celebrities.
Just say that when they first arrived, there were two female celebrities sitting in the private room next door, drinking with Mr.March.
When the other party saw Zac, he even greeted him.
However, Leo had learned his lesson and didn't dare to send a woman to Zac again.
After all, the one that was sent to the hotel last time was directly thrown out by Zac's order.
"What's wrong, bro?"
Tony, who had just finished playing a game of cards, moved closer.
Today was a private day.
Apart from Zac, Tony, and Leo, there were also two other roommates from Zac's university, Deon and Finn.
Zac loosely raised his eyelids and replied to Tony, "Georgia also went to the fashion show.The two seemed to have met.Georgia called Frederick and she seems to be in a really bad mood."
Yesterday, Tony asked him when he would bring Anika to see them, but Zac's answer was, "She wants to go to a fashion show, we'll talk about it later when she's free."
However, he would not be free for the time being.
Hearing that Anika met Georgia at the fashion show, Tony suddenly frowned.
Not long after, he patted his thigh and said, "Georgia's attitude is bad.It must be because Anika scolded her to protect you! What is this person doing on the phone? Complaining? She wants to be the good one!"
"After you return, console your wife.Georgia's attitude may disturb her for the rest of the day.’ Tony exclaimed angrily.
He raised his head and saw Zac staring at him with a leisurely gaze.
Tony's heart trembled when he saw this strange gaze.
"Why ...why are you looking at me like that all of a sudden?"
He said nervously.
"Nothing.I just feel that you are still much stronger than Frederick.’ Zac didn't hesitate to praise him.
He chuckled and patted Tony on the shoulder.
After a short while, he got up and took his coat and said, "I'll go back first"
"No, why are you leaving so early? Didn't you agree to shoot together later?"
Zac got off work at this time and didn't come out at night.
Tony managed to arrange a trap to invite him over, but this person was about to leave again.
Tony wanted to persuade him a few more times.
However, Zac slowly tidied up his sleeves, raised his eyebrows, shook his head and chuckled, "No, I have to go home.Let me go, people.’
Tony was speechless.In his mind, he thought, ‘This guy is so fucking arrogant’ After coming out of the convention center, Anika first sent Alena home.
She then drove to the old mansion and talked to her grandfather for a while.
She would come twice a week to make time for his grandpa when it wakes up.
Because they worked together, Zac would occasionally accompany her.
Mr.Meyer liked Zac, his grandson-in-law.
It had only been a short month, but he had treated him more kindly than Kayden, whom he had watched grow up since childhood.
Anika was rather surprised.
After thinking for a while, she felt that Zac had helped her when she visited her grandfather.
Perhaps she had seen his shadow from her grandpa.
Even so, Anika was still very grateful to him and was willing to tolerate his temper.
During this period of time, her grandpa would fall asleep for longer and longer.
Anika persuaded him to go to the hospital many times, but he always stubbornly waved his hand and refused.
However, after communicating with the doctor, they agreed that it was better for him to be relaxed in a familiar environment rather than staying at the hospital.
Hence, Anika no longer insisted.
After leaving the old house, Anika's mood became heavier so she opened the car window to get a breath of air.
When she drove back to the villa, she opened the door and entered the living room.
She had just changed her shoes when she saw Zac leaning leisurely against the sofa.
It was rare for her to see him for a hundred years ...watching TV.
On the wide and clear screen, there was a movie.
Anika glanced at it and found that it was a classic romantic comedy.
She glanced at her eyebrows and suddenly remembered something about Zac.
When the movie was released, Anika was in her third year of high school.
Kayleigh said that he had asked his brother to buy two tickets and asked her to go to the cinema on the weekend.
When Kayden helped bring the tickets over, Zac glanced at the movie tickets in her hand,chuckled, and said with high spirits, "Boring"
At that time, the disdain in his eyes was exceptionally strong.
She didn't know why his taste had changed so much over the years, but now he could actually enjoy watching it with relish.
Putting away her confusion, Anika asked him, "Why are you back so early?"
She thought that Zac wanted to bond with Tony and the guys, but it was not even nine o'clock and he was here already.
Zac did not look back.
He turned down the volume of the TV and said indifferently, "Oh, it ended early"
After saying that, he casually said, "Frederick said that you saw Georgia today?"
Anika looked up at him and thought for a moment before nodding, "Yes, I did.Your former stepmother ...is quite special”
"Are you trying to say that she's stupid?"
Zac sneered and shook his head.
Anika shrugged her shoulders, thinking that this was not what she said.
As for Zac, he raised his eyebrows and laughed, "You're really pissing her off”
Then, he thought of something and said meaningfully, "Nika, you've made great progress recently"
‘Very, very, very, very, very much.” He added in his mind.
She still remembered the last time Zac praised her like this.
It was the second day after the wedding, on his way to the old mansion.
At that time, he praised her heavily, and in the end, she was "honored" to receive a compliment from him.
Seeing the man's slightly raised chin, the corner of Anika's mouth twitched slightly.
She paused and said, "Thank you, thank you.’
When she left the old mansion, her uncle gave her a box of crabs.Just as she was about to put the crabs in the fridge, she suddenly remembered what Georgia had said today.
She clenched her fingers and hesitated for a long time, but she still sighed and turned her head.
Anaika met Zac's gaze.
"Zac.”
"Huh?"
"Actually, no matter what kind of problem it was, you shouldn't hide your illness from doctors, right?"
Zac did not know what to reply.
He was a little puzzled, but he still nodded his head and said, "Of course you have to see a doctor if you are sick, so what question are you expressing?"
"How would I know?"
Anika did not expect that he would continue to discuss this awkward question and pursed his lips unnaturally.
When her gaze fell on the crab in her hand, she changed the topic, "Il brought back a box of crabs from the old mansion.Do you want to eat it? I'll steam it"
Zac looked at the crab in her hand as if he had thought of something, but he still nodded lightly.
Anika heaved a sigh of relief and walked into the kitchen.
Zac was the only one left in the living room.
Not long after, the phone on the coffee table suddenly vibrated twice.
He turned off the TV, got up and picked his phone up.
He discovered that it was Tony who kept sending Viber messages.
"Bro! Guess who I just bumped into!" Tony messaged.
"F*ck, Shawn actually went to the clubhouse to work!"
"I asked someone and said that Kayden fired him because he offended Anika.She couldn't go back to the Stevens family, so her father arranged a job for him in the clubhouse."
"Bro, is Kayden still nosy with your life? We managed to get some info here but we can't let him pry back!”
"Bro, make sure Anika is only looking at you.Do you know what a crematorium routine is? If he was forced to become Kayden's woman, how miserable would it be?"
Tony simultaneously sent his messages to Zac.
Zac frowned and was slightly puzzled by the word.
He typed, "Crematorium?"
After pondering for a few moments, the man’s fingers moved slightly.
The next second...
"You want to wait for Kayden to die and send him to the funeral home?" He sent.
Zac added, "Oh, there's no need. He has a biological father."
