Chapter 78
“You site were last with delivering this bosquet,” remarked Julie.
Zachary smiled and explained, “My company is just upstairs,”
he could not help but express her utter confusion.
Right at that moment, Amaya walked in carrying a beautiful flower basket. She was quite surprised to ser Zachary
“What brings the iridest son of the Quinn family to our humble studio?” she asked.
Zachary turned to look at Amaya and replied casually, “You two are opening for business today, so of course I have to come celebrate with you. I jest happened to be close by, so I came down for a look!
pitie looked at Amaya in bewilderment, her head filled with questions.
Amarca felt a little guilty. She had indeed intentionally concealed the fact that Zachary’s company was right upstairs from Julie
She owed him a debt, so she had been left with littlechoice.
They had managed to obtain their 50–square–meter office space thanks to Zachary, after all.
She retrieved a leaflet from a nearby office desk, then presented it to Zachary with a warm smile. “Please help us promote our store more, Mr. Quinn! I’ll treat you to a meal some
Zachary accepted the leaflet with a smile and glanced over it before saying, “Of course, no problem! By the way, let’s have a get–together after today’s business hours are over Consider it a celebration for the opening of your business.”
Before Jube could refuse, Amaya had already readily agreed to it
After Zachary took his leave, Julie frowned and asked suspiciously, “Did you already know that Zachary’s company was upstairs, Maya?”
Amaya nodded, smiling mysteriously
Feeling rather speechless, Julie continued, “Why didn’t you tell me beforehand then? It’s not as if you’re unaware of the relationship between me and his mother—”
Before she could finish speaking, Amaya smoothly interrupted her. “The company is his own, and it only just started operating two days ago.”
Julie could not help feeling incredibly confused at that revelation and questioned further, “He started up his own company?”
Theard that Zachary seems to have had a falling out with his family, so he decided to start up his own independent business,” replied Amaya.
“Why did that happen?” Julie asked in puzzlement
If she recalled correctly, Zachary’s mother, Karen Oslow, was even more strong–willed and authoritarian than Martha Would she really have allowed Zachary to escape her control?
“I don’t know the specifics, but they seemed to have fallen out since returning from the police station before.”
Je tell sent at that
Amaya reached out to hold her by the arm, saying comfortingly, “Look, I considered making this place our office because I thought it suited us, not because of Zachary. Besides, et since I found out about all his family’s dirty laundry, I’d already given up on setting you ten up together.”
Julie rolled her eyes at Amaya. “You should stop blindly playing matchmaker.”
Even before she finished speaking, the glass door of the studio was once again gently pushed open from the outside.
Julie and Amaya looked over in unison. They were both stunned to see the person who stood in the doorway.
In was christian Lake, Amaya’s ex–boyfriend.
“Amaya ” said Christian, His voice carrying a hint of grievance
Julle looked at Amaya in contusion, asking quietly, “What’s going on? You guys aren’t trying to rekindle your relationship, are you?
Amaya hurriedly ward off the notion. “Absolutely not ”
As she spoke, she walked briskly toward the entrance. Gazing at the young man in front of her, Amaya felt jumbled thoughts rushing through her mind like a wave, leaving her feeling slightly dad
It was a fact that she had fallen in love with him back then, but it was also a fact that said love had since died.
“How did you find this place?” she asked calmly.
Ever since she contacted him about moving out last time and another woman had picked up the call, she had never contacted him again.
As for Christian, after returning to the house he had rented out together with Amaya, he had discovered that all her belongings had vanished without a trace.
He had wanted to contact her but she had blocked his numbers and Blacklisted hun on every platform, leaving him unable to reach her at all.
The reason he had been able to track her down today was because he had caught a glimpse of her downstairs. He had assumed that he was mistaken, but after following her, he tralized that it actually was her
“You moved out?” asked Christian with reddened yes, still sounding aggrieved.
