Prev Chapter Next Chapter

Zack watched intently as Katherine and Luke entered the office together.

The first thing that came to his mind was what Luke had said in his live interview earlier this morning.

He remembered when the host asked Luke about Katherine, "Mr.Hoffman, what do you think of

Ms.Wilson?"

Luke's answer still rang in his head.

"Ms.Wilson is a very good person.I admire her very much.She is the most outstanding woman I have

ever seen.’

After Future Technology went public last week, Luke Hoffman, the most recent upstart, had become the

center of all the media's attention.

They had dug everything they could about him.

There were even talks about how he had been keeping his distance from women for years.

But still, it was made well known to the public that Luke had just returned from X City yesterday when

he and Katherine went by themselves to have lunch together.

Zack was also a man.

He knew very well that if a man held a woman in high regard, it meant that he definitely liked her.

He didn't need to show up in Future Technology's building personally.

But this morning, he found himself telling Aidan to change his schedule because he would be attending

the meeting with Luke in person.

Zack might not have known the reason he insisted on going at first.

Still, now that he saw Katherine and Luke together in front of him, he suddenly understood.

He seemed unable to accept that his ex-wife quickly began another relationship after their divorce.

Could it be possible that Katherine's so-called love for him was only that shallow? Was that the extent

of her affection for him? Zack suddenly felt irritated and disappointed.

With all these thoughts swirling in his head, the expression on his face only became colder.

Luke came forward to greet him, but Zack was still so intent at staring into his ex-wife's eyes that he

didn't even seem to notice the kind gesture.

She looked very gentle today, which reminded him of the days when they were still living under the

same roof.

However, the woman before him now was a different person than the woman he knew in the past.

His then-wife, who bent to his and his family's every will, was now his ex-wife who suddenly grew sharp

thorns like roses.

Aidan, who was at the side, could feel awkward tension in the office rise.

He braced himself and kicked at Zack's calf to snap him out of his trance.

The latter sent a sharp look at his assistant before shifting his gaze to Luke.

He cleared his throat and said, "Mr.Hoffman, we're going to talk about business here.It's not

appropriate to have any outsiders present, right?"

Everyone in the room knew who Zack was referring to as the outsider.

Katherine slightly raised an eyebrow at his words.

Just as when she was about to reply, Luke suddenly turned his head to her and asked, "Will you give

us a minute?"

Katherine knew that Luke did it on purpose.

She felt a headache coming, but she couldn't slap her friend for his interjection.

With a strained smile, she nodded at him and replied, "Okay.”

It had indeed been a while since she had visited the company, so she just decided to perform a routine

inspection today.

Several founders of Future Technology were aware that Katherine was a significant shareholder of the

company.

They also knew that she didn't like to be public about it, so everyone eventually learned not to address

her as "President"

After agreeing to take a look around, Katherine planned to go and take a look at their Research and

Development department.

Future Technology's R&D department was their core department.

The team was made up of people who stuck by Luke from the very start, so they were all familiar with

Katherine.

After leaving Luke's office, she ordered some desserts.

She had them sent to the R&D department before heading to their office.

Back in Luke's office, Zack still hadn't recovered from watching Katherine getting along so well with

Luke.

The ruthless look in his eyes only became more apparent.

Luke tried to bring the focus back to their intended agenda for the meeting.

He handed over a folder and said, "Mr.Colburn, here are the specifications of the two Al robots we have

recently developed.Do you need to take a look at them?"

Zack tried to collect himself before turning to Luke.

He replied, "There's no need for that, Mr.Hoffman.Let's get straight to the point"

The entire negotiation lasted for a total of forty-five minutes.

It went over without a hitch, but Zack permanently had a stern look on his face from start to end.

Aidan, who patiently observed them from the side, was feeling very uncomfortable about how his boss

acted the entire time.

Luke was known in the business world for being cold and indifferent.

But he was surprisingly very polite when it came to dealing with people.

However, he always kept a distance and made it hard for other people to get close to him.

With the way Zack conducted himself today, Aidan felt that his boss was a lot worse compared to Luke.

Both parties immediately signed the contract on the spot after the discussion.

Out of courtesy, Luke proposed for them to have lunch together.

Still, Zack only refused with a stony expression plastered on his face.

He was not in the mood to eat with his ex-wife's boyfriend.

Aidan was mindlessly chattering to fill the awkward silence between the two.

He found that his boss had already headed for the elevator when he turned around.

He hurriedly chased after Zack and walked inside before the doors closed.
