Back in City A, it was already evening in the Young Mansion. Delilah was sitting on the couch with her legs crossed as she watched the television. Beside her were a few of her luggage and in front of her were snacks given to her to enjoy the waiting moment.She gently removed her sunglasses and unhooked her heels to free her legs before looking around. This was it. She was going to be here in the meantime.Just then Jennie came downstairs from her room eagerly after knowing that Delilah was in the sitting room. "Oh my goodness, dear. Hello." She squealed happily. Delilah laughed at her future mother-in-law's behavior. She stood up to hug the slightly aged woman who didn't fail to kiss her after all. Jennie was fond of Delilah a lot and that was why she considered the girl a suitable partner for her son. She was nice and had it all in. No dispute. "How are you doing? Have your seat, my dear." "Thank you, Aunt. I missed you so much." "I also did. I am sorry that this had to be on sh

"Mr. Zach?" "Hmm?" "Can I ask you a question?" "Go ahead." Hera cleared her throat and proceeded to speak while Zach stared at her curiously, wondering what she wanted to speak that made her look this pale. "Mr. Zach, I don't think I need to remind you that between the two of us, none of us is a kid anymore. You are twenty-six and I am twenty-seven. There is really no need for us to play hide and seek." She paused and drank a cup of water before she continued. "I...[sighed heavily] I...I think it will be right if we can have this discussion like a proper adult should and just get over it. I am a mother of one so it means I am not new to the game. I have read a lot of books, seen a lot of movies, and heard a lot of stories and this is how it eventually turns out to be."Zach shook his head confusingly, "Miss Hera, I still don't get what you mean."Hera nodded after swallowing. "I heard from your workers and those close with you to know a few of your behaviors that...that the
The CEOs Rejected Bride. 49. SOCIAL DISTANCING.
Zach decided to hold the meeting at another venue the next morning since the original company was seriously out of options. He was waiting for the rest of the members alongside Hera who chose to sit down at a far distance. He was unhappy about this but he knew that it had to do with the discussion that they had yesterday. However, he was able to let her in on his mind so he wouldn't have to be scared about making a move on her.A few minutes later, some of the expected guests started arriving and they greeted one another. Zach waited patiently for all of them to arrive before he started the meeting. "It's quite unfortunate that such a thing happened right under your noses and no one can give a report that will help out with the investigation. Anyway, less talking about that. More action on the important work to do." A man stood up with his head bowed low at first. "The fire incident damaged a lot of goods in the warehouse not far from the building. Most of these goods are expensiv

Blake entered the company with a young girl clinging to his arm. She was fair in complexion rather than white and she had an hourglass figure even with her small stature. Her hair was packed up in a style that could remind one of the cartoon character BARBIE. Her giggling and talking could be heard as they were approaching the main company. "Good morning, sir." All the boss's fifteen stood up to greet them including Anna. Her eyes went from Blake to the young girl multiple times while trying to maintain her stand. "Good morning to you all. I got a call from Zach this morning. This is what he needs you all to do. There was a certain amount of money collected from this purse around a few months ago. Twenty billion dollars to be precise however they can't give an account for it and before he makes any conclusion, he needs to know if you guys could have the original detail." He explained to them. "Alright, sir. We will check and get back to you." Mira responded and Blake nodded before

Later in the evening, Hera and Zach were coming back from the last place they had gone to for business. She refused to speak with him and even if there was a need, she would prefer to be formal about it. Zach still didn't mind because he knew that he had a lot of things to do and there was going to be sufficient time enough.Even though she wasn't on a speaking term with him, she still found it okay to enjoy the ice cream that he bought randomly. "Is it delicious?" He asked, intending to start a conversation with her. Hera nodded, she indeed loved the flavor and promised to get one for Austin because she knew that he would love it. "How do you plan on dealing with the embezzlers?" She inquired.Zach sighed and rubbed the space between his brows. He was also confused because he was yet to plan on that particular issue. He didn't expect that the twenty million dollars would go to waste just like that. Maybe this fire incident was for a good cause after all. "I still don't know yet. I

"What is it that you want?" Zach asked fearlessly but carefully because he knew that if it were to be him alone, he could have pulled some silly tricks since it wasn't his first time being in such a positive.The man chuckled and pulled out the chair opposite them to sit on. "I like your bravery, Zach. I have heard so much about you and I am happy to have met you this time around. Permit me to introduce myself. I am Scorpion. That's all. You asked me what I want but you can't provide what I want because that is only on your father's part." "My father?" He mumbled. "Yes, your father. He has what we need and to get him is a problem so we had to take you instead. Bummer!" "Were you people the ones who burnt down the company?" Zach asked him after the realization dawned. "Bummer." The man snapped his fingers. "How dare you?! Do you know how much my father had to work to build that? That is one of our important bases!" Zach retorted angrily and only got his brain re

The nurse at the counter, when she saw Selena, smiled happily and giggled at herself. She could hardly maintain her posture but seeing that she was in the hospital, she had no choice but to maintain it. "Hello there." Selena waved. "Yes, please. I believe that you are related to the person that was rushed in earlier." The nurse responded.Selena shook her head in disagreement and pointed at Hera whose appearance looked filthy though due to blood and dirt. "She is the one related. I happened to have helped her." Selena answered. "Oh, I see. Who is the person and what's your relationship with him?" Hera blinked. She tangled her fingers with one another nervously as she stared at the paper that the nurse had brought out. "Ma'am?" "Uhm...his name is Zach Young and I am his assistant."The nurse wrote down Zach's name and paused. Zach Young? Why did that sound familiar to her? She glanced at Hera suspiciously and then at the corner where Zach's unconscious body had passe
The CEOs Rejected Bride. 54. THANK YOU.
The next morning, Zach opened his eyes suddenly as if something had clicked into his brain thereby waking him up in a rush. The moment he turned his head to his right-hand side, he was greeted with Ben's huge head. "Boss? Boss, you are awake." "Hmm..." "Don't say anything yet. Let me get you a glass of water." Ben rushed to the desk and picked up a clean glass cup that he used immediately. He brought the water back to Zach and helped him to sit up.Zach grimaced in pain due to the injury. He collected the glass of water and drank it. His eyes were searching for one particular person but when there was no sign of her in the room, he glanced at Ben. "Where is Hera?" "She went home to change her clothes and also reschedule all the meetings for today." Zach nodded. That must be too much for her to handle alone.Last night, he had received the bullet meant to hit her and he really wanted to know how she did it. How she survived in the wide when he was unconscious. He then looked at
