Katherine wanted to avoid Zack and just treat him as a stranger.However, it was only polite for her to
return his greeting.
Immediately after exchanging greetings, Katherine pushed the door open and got out of his car.
Zack followed her out of the car and insisted on giving her the box.
"It's not something valuable.Even if we're strangers, I should be able to give you a gift, right?"
Katherine lowered her head to look at the box.
The corners of her lips curled up slightly into a faint smile as she replied, "You can give it to me, but I
also have the right to refuse it"
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned toward the door to slide it open and stepped inside.
Zack remained standing outside and did not go after Katherine.He calmly stared at her through the
door as she walked away from him.
Before entering the elevator, Katherine turned to look back outside the door.She saw that Zack was still
rooted at the same spot.
The dim yellow light cast a soft glow on his face.
His usually cold and indifferent eyes were currently as deep as the endless sea.
For a moment, Katherine was stunned at the sight of him.
Soon, the elevator door opened.She then withdrew her gaze and walked in.
His gesture somehow touched her.
As Zack watched Katherine get into the elevator, he subsequently lowered his head to look at the gift
box in his hand.
He wasn't lying when he told Katherine that there was nothing valuable inside.
It was just that this was the first time he had personally made a gift for someone.
Unfortunately, it was rejected.
He couldn't help but feel disappointed.He could not be too greedy, though.He knew he could not be
impulsive and domineering toward her.He had witnessed the aloof, impetuous, and strong-willed
Katherine tonight.
This was a side of her that he had never seen before.
Zack contemplated it and realized that tonight's efforts had not been in vain.He walked back to the car.
Sean had sent him a message two minutes ago on Telegram.
Sean had been sending him messages these past few days, but he was too lazy to reply.
‘Well, I'm in a good mood today.I might as well go back to Y City!” he pondered.
He then decided to reply to Sean's message.
Sean asked him where he had gone, and Zack directly sent him a location.
Sean, the night owl, replied in an instant, [No way, are you seriously chasing after a girl for thousands
of miles?]
Zack's eyebrows furrowed when he read the message.Sean said nothing out of the ordinary, but for
some reason, he felt uneasy reading those words.
[Weren't you the one who taught me?] he rashly replied.
That day, when he learned that Katherine was going back to C City to celebrate the holidays, Sean was
the one who suggested that he quickly chase after her.
This was also why he hurriedly left to follow her to C City.
‘Now he's mocking me for doing exactly as he suggested?’ Zack scoffed in annoyance.
[I was just saying...] Sean tried to defend himself.
‘I didn't expect it! It's such a surprise that he did exactly as I said!’ Sean was dumbfounded at the
thought.
Sean was still holding on to his mobile phone while he contemplated whether the Zack he was talking
to was still the same Zack that he knew.
He couldn't help but suspect that someone else was pretending to be Zack.
The real Zack would not waste time acting impulsively and displaying such affection to anyone.
After all, he didn't have any romantic bone in his body.
He was totally clueless when it came to romance! Zack smirked.
He planned to hone his wife-pursuing skills once he returned.
[Stop messing with me.Let's talk business.Are you familiar with the Walker family of C City?] Zack
seriously asked.
Sean took things seriously when it came to business.
Noticing the change in Zack's message, he asked, [What? Did you discuss business while chasing
after your wife?]
‘Was he still human?’ Sean wondered.
[They targeted Katherine.] Zack's prompt reply.
When Sean saw his reply, he suddenly felt that the fried chicken in his hand was not fragrant
anymore.He soon lost his appetite and put it down.
If he caught up with Zack, wouldn't he be choked to death by Zack's public display of affection? I...Let's
focus on business.Stop showing off.Charles should have some connections.Our family doesn't have
any collaborations with them.]
[Okay.I'll look for Charles, then.Oh right, The primary reason should be obvious.My main goal is to
show off.] Zack's arrogant reply.
Sean, [7]
‘Geez!’ Sean was flabbergasted!
