Katherine had no choice but to go into Zack's car.The heater in the car was turned on, which
temperature was the polar opposite of the cold outside.
A faint smell of perfume was all over in the car, and Katherine recognized it.It was the perfume that
Zack often used.
His perfume was pleasant.
It was perfectly crafted not to overpower but to last for quite some time.It was impossible to smell it
from half a meter away.
However, when he would go closer, anyone would notice a faint scent of his special perfume.
The car also had some faint mixed smell of his perfumes displayed.
The perfumes arranged in the front were green, orange, and mint, while the middle was black
sandalwood perfume, and those at the back were orchid and musk.
When she married Zack, she went out of her way to make perfume for his birthday present.
Katherine was born wise and capable of handling any situation.She was skilled and a fast learner.
Katherine spent more than three months studying perfume-making and customized a bottle of Zack's
favorite perfume.
However, the perfume bottle was shattered by Chloe before she could even hand it as a gift.
Thinking about it now, it seemed Chloe planned to break it.
Katherine gathered her thoughts back to the present.
Zack already hung up the phone as she looked at him through the window.
When Celine approached him and said something, she could not tell it.
He looked back at Celine and turned around, before walking back to his car.
"I already gave Aidan a call, but your secretary asked me to send you home first" he said, informing
her.
Katherine slightly raised her eyebrows and asked, "How long do you think will Aidan arrive?"
Her secretary was also a lovely young woman.
Katherine was not at ease with the idea that they would leave her in this dark and cold road alone.
"He will arrive in fifteen minutes" Zack replied.
"All right, then we should keep waiting.Can we?"
She looked at him with daring yet concerned eyes.
In the end, Zack agreed.
"Okay." Zack responded and looked at her.
"Celine seemed so close to you" he added.
When Katherine heard him, her charming eyes quickly moved before saying, "We are both under
President Summer's employment.So, it's natural that we are familiar and concerned with each other"
Summer didn't seem to pique Zack's interest and asked Katherine about the past instead.
"Did you also ever try to work during the past three years when we were together?" he asked.
Katherine stared at him for a few seconds and didn't say anything.
She didn't want to answer Zack's question because she already knew the answer, and maybe he might
also already know it.His mother played a big part in it.
So, she remained silent while Zack looked down.
No one could tell what he was thinking.
But after a few seconds, he looked up at her and apologetically said, "I'm sorry"
He had always assumed that Katherine was a gold-digger who only wanted to marry into a wealthy
family.
However, he forgot that no matter how bad the rumors were, Katherine was still the provincial scholar
back then.
She was the one who got into the A University’s Department of Economics, a prestigious school for
bright minds like her.
Katherine's thoughts were also in the past, but she refused to talk about it.She turned her head and
looked outside the window.Her expression was a little cold.
She became distant.
"Anyway, it's all in the past” she uttered, breaking the silence.Yes, those three difficult years had
already passed.Her love for Zack had vanished.She was not as interested in him like before that she
could now look at him straight in the eyes with coldness.It was a little satisfying to think about
it.Moreover, they had nothing to reminisce about, and if they did, bringing it up would only make
everyone unhappy.
Zack also realized this and changed the topic.
"Are you sleepy?" He asked when he saw Katherine closing her eyes.
She was indeed a little sleepy.Her sleeping schedule had always been consistent.
At around ten, she would always turn off the lights and go to bed.
10:30 p.m.was a little late for her to sleep. It was almost ten o'clock now.
Katherine spent her afternoon quickly reading two novels.
That was why her eyes were already tired.
She wanted to go back to the villa early to take a bath and to put on a facial mask before going to
sleep, but she didn't expect this to happen.
Amelia, who had not seen her for almost twenty years, had caused many events.
After some time, Katherine started to feel comfortable around Zack's car.
It was warm and cozy.She tilted her head and found a good spot to catch some sleep.
It was the perfect timing because she felt like sleeping then.
When she heard Zack asking if she were sleepy, she slowly raised her hands and yawned.
"Yes, I am, but only a little"
After saying this, a car drove over from behind and stopped.It was Aidan's car.He came.
Katherine saw him and blinked a few times before she slowly said, "Mr.Hall is finally here."
"Yes," Zack responded and started his car's engine.
His black Maybach slowly drove and sped up after it passed by Celine’s car.
Aidan and Celine looked like a black dot in the rearview mirror as Zack's car drifted away.
Twenty minutes later, they arrived at the villa.
Zack stopped the car and gazed at her.
Katherine unbuckled her seatbelt and muttered, "Thank you for driving me home, Mr.Colburn.We're
here.”
"Katherine.."
She had just opened the car door when Zack suddenly called her.Katherine turned around and looked
at him.
"What's the matter?" she asked, as she slightly raised her brows.
