Chapter 331
The present stood nervously after finishing their report, bracing for Zane’s usual scathing critique. To their surprise, Zane merely pointed out the issues calmly and offered suggestions for improvement,
Walking back to the seats, they looked dazed When had Zane become so approachable? Could this really be the power of love?
Each subsequent report received the same treatment-cal, constructive feedback. There were multiple glances exchanged across the room, and an unspoken message was shared among the tram “May Zane and his girlfriend last forever” Once the meeting ended, everyone left swiftly and silently, as it by mutual agreement
“,”Zane called out as Eric moved to leave. “Stay behind”
Eric paused, unsure of Zane’s intent, but couldn’t resist a bit of gossip. “So, Annalise gave you a pil?”
Zane’s pride was unmistakable as he replied, “She did. But she’s just pretending to be my girlfriend, not actually agreeing to date me
Eric raised a brow.”Mr. Huxham, think about it-why would she pretend with you and not someone else? It means she must like you at least a little.”
Zane’s lips twitched into an uncontrollable smile. “Really?”
Eric nodded solemnly. “Of course. If you don’t believe me, ask Sasha.”
Encouraged, Zane wasted no time and summoned Sasha to the conference room. After recounting Erk’s theory, he asked eagerly, “What do you think Anna really feels?”
Sasha hesitated before responding carefully. “That she really dislikes Steven?”
Zane’s smile vanished instantly, while Sasha blinked in confusion. Had she spoken the wrong thing?

I took a deep breath again and feed myself to calm down. It took a long white before could fully steady my emotions
As I lay on the couch with my phone in hand, my thoughts wandered to my mom, Portia.
She wasn’t getting any younger Once the money was in my account, I’d set aside a retirement fund for her.
