He was annoyed beyond all measures at seeing her. Why did he even put her pictures on the desk?
Was he masochistic?
She puckered her lips. Her beautiful face turned red. The calm of her face was disturbed as if a stone
had fallen in a quiet lake, causing splashes and ripples.
She turned the frame down and put it where it was. Heaving an exhausted sigh, she sat on the boss's
chair, swiveling around and recalling everything that had happened in Yang City.
She had had such a good time there because of him. All the scars that past love had left on her had
been healed.
It might be him who had made Sunny dance to 'Little Apple' in the square. Who else could make the
daughter of the Yang family do that?
She really didn't know what he was thinking.
He thought she was stupid and pudding-headed, yet he forced her to stay with him...all so he could
keep feeding her sugar-coated bullets.
His heart ached at the very sight of her and still he had put her photos where he could see them all day
long.
'What could this combination of contradictions mean?'
While she was racking her brains to figure the whole thing out, a blast of discussions had broken out in
the Emperor Employees' Forum.
Their CEO was married!
And his wife had come to the office for the first time!
The lucky girl was Essie Yi, the winning designer in the show 'Beauty on Runway'!
The whole office was stirred at this explosive news.
The hearts of the young female employees had broken...some of them even started sobbing. Their
admirable, adorable and respectable CEO now had a wife! How would they daydream of being with
him?
After the meeting, William walked to Zac's side and said, "Well, what is this sensational news I'm
hearing in the office? Is your wife really here?" His tone was both excited and intrigued.
With his hands in his pockets, Zac smiled faintly. "Well, there is going to be an anniversary ceremony
soon. I think it's a little too late for everyone to meet her then."
By the time he went back to his office, Essie had already gathered all her thoughts. She was bowling in
the bowling room attached to the office. Zac sometimes bowled as a way of relaxing.
He didn't disturb her and silently sat on the couch, looking at her admiringly.
She maintained an elegant posture while she skillfully threw the ball. One could tell she wasn't new at
this.
The balls hit the skittles with a powerful impact, making all of them fall. It certainly was a beautiful and
artful shot.
Zac clapped his hands together with a proud expression on his face. "Good job, honey," he said.
Essie turned around with a smirk on her face. "Do you want to compete with me?" she asked with her
eyebrows raised. One could clearly make out the confidence she had behind that challenge.
"Wouldn't I love to. But I will accept your challenge some other day, miss. Let's eat something first and
then go to the golf course."
Essie suddenly remembered he had an appointment with Jim. She put down the ball in her hand, which
she was ready to throw, and walked toward him.
"Icy guy, if you don't mind, can I ask Eva to join us?" Her long eyelashes fluttered innocently. The final
was just around the corner. Eva and Jim would soon be fighting each other. They had been
incompatible since the very beginning. Maybe this time they could take advantage of the situation and
ease the tension between them.
Zac held her hand and pulled her down to the couch. Touching her cheeks gently, he spoke with a
smile, "It's alright with me. Plus, it is fun to watch her and Jim fight!"
Essie giggled. Zac stared at her perfect face as she took out her phone and dialed Eva's number to
invite her to come to the golf course with them. The entire time, Zac kept squeezing her hand into his,
staring at her lovely lips as she talked.
Jim was already at the golf court by the time Zac and Essie reached there. As expected, he couldn't
help but frown at the very sight of Eva. On the other hand, Eva decided to nip the personal enmity in
the bud and greeted him gracefully.
"Hi Jim, congratulations! I heard that you won the championship in the popular golden song award
ceremony!" Essie said, smiling at Jim without the slightest hint of malice.
"Thank you, little beauty!" Casting a sidelong glance at Eva, Jim remarked contemptuously,
"Congratulations to you, Eva. It might be huge for you to enter the final round, given how trivial you
are."
"It certainly is, especially since I did not rely on any references or relationships with people to get
through. Hard work is the only thing I rely on, unlike some other people..." Eva spoke starkly, each word
articulated well like she was prepared to bear his personal attacks.
"When I'm your partner, I'm free to have my own discretion...despite of the abilities you may or may not
have." Jim's black eyes narrowed, as if he was trying to read Eva's face.
Before it could get worse, Essie stifled the situation. She took everyone to the training ground. Eva had
never played golf before. On the other hand, Zac and Jim were pro players and were playing against
each other.
The coach was trying to teach Eva how to hold and swing the club. Eva was careful and curious. She
thought this skill might come in handy if she was to be associated with rich families someday in a
drama.
As Eva and Essie focused on learning to use the club, a pair of frivolous eyes stared at them from a
distance.
"Vinton, did you see a beautiful girl again?" A low and deep voice reached the man's ears from the
side. Vinton didn't turn his head, instead continued staring at the girls on the golf course. "Well Walt,
these two aren't ordinary beauties. The taller one, in fact, is exceptional. This fairy-like charm she
exuded is so pure and unique! The shorter one is much more delicate and pretty, like a Tulip's bud..."
His words truly hit the nail on the head. Over the years, he had met countless women. He was
extremely skilled when it came to hunting beautiful women.
Following his eyes, Walt looked in the direction Vinton was staring at. His eyes brightened the moment
they landed on Essie. "It's her!" he exclaimed.
Without wasting another second, he sprinted out toward the training field like a gust of wind. Vinton was
more than shocked. "Are you kidding me? You are even more impatient than me!" Vinton said as he his
eyes followed him.
Essie was swinging her club and ready to serve. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the running
Walt. She turned around and found him familiar. It seemed that she had met him somewhere before.
"Little pineapple, do you still remember me?" Walt asked with his hands on his knees as he panted for
air.
