When Zac noticed Tony's brat stance, he lightly rolled his eyes as if nothing had happened and stated,
"There's no need for you to worry.There are some things that can't be rushed, so I have to take it slow."
After saying that, he casually pointed at the bag in Tony's hand and said, "What is this?"
"Oh, I just bumped into Anika in the elevator.Knowing that I was being taken advantage of by you, she
graciously offered me a dessert."
"Oh? She gave it to you?"
Zac frowned slightly and looked at the bag.
"That's right.Anika has come to have a meeting with Larkin.She was with her group."
Tony ignored Zac's expression and opened the dessert on his own.
"I have to say, Anika is so gentle"
Tony thought Anika was nice and gentle in high school, and he never said anything good about her
grades.
When he saw everyone, he smiled faintly.
Even if he didn't like Zac, he would be patient and sincere while instructing others.
‘Look at her image, she seems gentle and pure! However, Zac was always unaccustomed to other
people's good temper, and he owed them a lot.
He deserved it!’ But, as he thought about it, Tony could understand the painstaking price Zac had paid.
After all, they'd been friends for almost twenty years, and he couldn't bear the thought of his brother
suffering.
He raised his head and looked at the person behind the desk.
Only then did he meet Zac's hidden gaze.
When he noticed it, he suddenly stopped eating the dessert.
"Really, Zac, you don’t want one? How about ...I give this to you?"
Glancing at the cake that he had already eaten two mouthfuls of, Zac snorted softly and said, "Heh, do
you still want me to let you go?"
His attitude was no longer the same as before.
Tony hurriedly laughed embarrassedly, "That's right, that's right.Your food was personally cooked by
Anika.There's no need to compare it to this."
He then pointed to the extremely noticeable lemon pear juice that had been casually put on his desk.
"You see, this pear juice is only yours.We can't even have it.” Zac drew his attention away from the
dessert.He sighed softly, and poured himself a glass of lemonade.He didn't say anything else.
However, his eyebrows were still tense.
There was an inexplicable feeling of being forgotten.
After a while, someone knocked on the door and Frederick walked in with the same bag.
"Boss, this is the dessert takeout that Madam ordered for you just now.It's delivered to me" Tony was
relieved when he saw this.
Zac raised his eyebrows and put down the cup in his hand.
He smiled slightly and then tapped the table with his fingertips.
"Yes, I see.Put it here."
Tony thought the cake in his fingers was no longer appetizing when Zac got several boxes of dessert
from his insulated bag and took suggestive photographs of them.
When he opened Viber.
he obviously noticed Zac's recently updated status.
[Dessert of love! Yammy! The taste actually matched the description exactly.]
“Woohoo, he was clearly flaunting it.I haven't even tasted it yet, so how can I tell if it's delicious?’’ Tony
thought.
Seeing Tony's gaze, Zac curled his lips and said with interest, "What? Do you still want to eat?"
Tony was a little surprised and asked, "Can I eat?"
He smiled slightly and nodded casually, "Yes, you can.I'll trade it for a vacation."
Tony didn’t know what to say and just thought, ‘Damn, I shouldn't have expected this from this guy!’
On the other hand, Anika had just returned to the company when she received the news that the
takeout delivery was successful.
Then, she saw Zac’s circle of friends.
She couldn't help but chuckle as she remembered how the man looked when he took a photo with his
phone and gave him another compliment.
After doing all of this, she opened the dialog box and sent a message to Zac.
[You'd better be polite to Tony in the future.Don't bring your temper to the company.] She guessed that
Tony must have lost his temper in the company to make him so angry and dissatisfied.
She should try to persuade him not to be disliked for his sly temper.
After sending the message, a series of blinking ellipses appeared on the screen.
Then, she received a new message.
[Yes, I see.] She looked intently at his response, recalling his words from earlier that day.
‘‘Anika, if you can't figure it out, then ...think about it slowly.Could it be that I'm thinking how to respond
to his message?’’ She thought.
In a daze, the bell suddenly rang.
She looked at the caller ID on the screen and the number was not familiar to her.
So she didn't answer it, believing it was nonsense.
However, the other party dialed the phone again which made her picked it up.
"Hello,’’ she answered with a frown.
A gentle middle-aged woman's voice came from the other line.
"Hello, is this Miss Meyer?"
She asked, "Who are you?"
"Lam Zac's aunt.” Anika was stunned for a moment.
She knew that Zac had an aunt who had emigrated from abroad a long time ago and had never
returned.However, she did not expect that his aunt would contact her.
"Sorry to call you.But, can you do me a favor?" Her tone was actually amiable.
Therefore, Anika narrowed her eyes and said, "Go ahead.”
"I heard that Georgia was captured.Can you help me find out how Callum is now?"
Sheena sighed and continued, "You also know Zac's temper.He probably doesn't care about his
younger brother, but I think ...Georgia might find you."
Anika also knew that Georgia had been captured right after the Mason Family's accident.
However, Zac refused to discuss Georgia with her, nor did he mention his father's case.
She didn't want to ask any more questions because she was just planning it secretly.
Georgia was clearly not clever because she could think of nothing useful to do other than jump into a
man’s bed that night.
She was detained at the time, maybe because someone turned against her.
Sheena also understood this logic.
"Georgia didn't say much, but Callum is her son.I don't believe that she will take the blame for no
reason.I'm calling you for no other reason.I can't have children since I'm infertile.Therefore, if Georgia
came to you for Callum's sake, just send him to me"
Anika frowned and stated, "I understand"
If Zac was unwilling to pay attention to Callum, then Sheena was willing to raise Callum instead.
Sheena heaved a sigh of relief, "Thank you."
Ever since she received Sheena’s call, she wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Zac.
According to the love book, an in-depth conversation was a good opportunity to pull in their
relationship.
However, Tony was on vacation, and Zac was busy for a while.
Regardless of the fact that he would still pick her up from work every day, he would spend most of his
time after getting home in the study room.
Despite jet lag, he would do video conferences with individuals and even eat quickly.
Therefore, she didn't want to disturb him.
She had to wait a long time before she could catch his attention and talked to him at dinner.
"How is your relationship with your aunt?"
She started the conversation.
Zac glanced at her and nodded, "It's alright.But when I was three or four years old, she went abroad to
settle down.After that, we didn't meet much.What's wrong?"
"Nothing much.It's just that ...I haven't heard you mention anything about your family.’’ She knew that
his mother had passed away early.
When he was young, his father was busy.
So, he grew up with his grandfather and had an aunt.
He later had Georgia, his former stepmother.
But that's all.
All the information about him comes from outsiders.
When Zac heard her words, he put down his chopsticks and smiled at her, "Anika, you've been acting
very strange lately."
She pursed her lips.
"Is that so? What's so strange about it?"
He chuckled, then loosely folded his arms and raised his eyebrows, "It seems that you care about me"
