"Persuade him?"
‘‘Didn't the two cats next door lose their temper? Why did he care so much?’’ Anika wondered and was
somewhat puzzled.
She paused for a moment before asking, "Then, how should I coax him?"
Zac turned his head to look at her, his calm eyes filled with confusion.
He pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "Why don't you think about it?"
Facing his gaze, Anika pondered silently for a while and finally came up with something.
‘Could it be that he was talking about himself? But ...Why was he unhappy?’ She asked herself.
He averted his sight and remained silent.
He was still in a bad mood.
She stared at him with uncertainty and pondered for a long time.
She then sighed and said, "Zac."
His gaze dimmed.
Anika walked to his side and sat down.
After exchanging glances with him for a few seconds, she tried to stretch out her hand while he was
dumbfounded.
She hugged him gently.
He didn't like to use perfume, and his body only smelled fresh from the body wash.
It smelled very good.
Her head was buried in his arms.
She couldn't see his expression in her position, but she could feel his stiffness.
She smiled and then softened her voice, "Is this considered persuading? Are you still angry?"
After a while, he remained calm and looked down at her in his arms.
His furrowed brows had vanished, and he began to soft.
He stroked her back as if he was comforting a kid.
Even yet, it made his previously gloomy attitude...not so awful.
"Anika, you want to take advantage of me just like that?"
He laughed nonchalantly.
She lowered her tone and replied, "Still this is a privilege I offer you."
She lifted her head to look at him, and her gaze drawn to his smiling eyes.
He had already returned to his usual appearance.
Although her tone remained proud, a tinge of sweetness rushed through her heart unexpectedly.
If he had always been so simple to persuade, then consoling him didn't seem so hard to take.
She stood up and smiled at him.
"Why were you angry just now?" She said warmly.
"Nothing." He raised his eyebrows.
When she noticed this, she frowned slightly and argued, "You always say that you want me to vent my
emotions.Then, why are you so stubborn right now?"
"I won't hold back.I didn't let you uncover your feelings, did I?"
He pursed his lower lips and smiled as he rubbed her hair.
Anika groaned hopelessly, her brows slightly curled and just said, "But I don't know if you will be angry
next time"
He twisted his lips and crossed his arms.
"Will my temper be bad as long as you're not doing anything wrong?"
He was quite pleased with himself when it came to his own temper.
Because of his overconfident demeanor, Anika became speechless and just thought, ‘Thank God,
we're at home and he still knew how to restrain himself outside‘
Anika shifted the topic after noticing that his odd feelings had subsided, "Are you busy next week?"
"Harold got is about to get married and sent me an invitation, she kept looking at him.Miss Austine,
Harold's soon-to-be-bride, was obviously the one who escaped Gavin's engagement party the last
time.”
"Engaged?"
Zac lifted his brows slightly, as if surprised.
"Yes."
She nodded and said, "If you're busy, I'll go with Nataly."
She told him this to show that she and Harold did not have a special relationship.
After all, he had given her a warning the previous time.
According to Alena’s words, if she hadn't even taken this man, then don't leave any unnecessary
misunderstandings.
When Zac heard this, he pursed his lips and muttered indifferently, "I'm not busy.I'll come with you."
Although Harold was going to marry, it was more comfortable to look at it with his own eyes, regardless
of whether it was a love rival or not.
After the little event, they went to work the next day as usual.
As soon as she arrived at the company, Anika took the documents to Scott's office to discuss with him
about the new letter of intent for financing.
After all, the North City Project was profitable.
The Dain Family still intended to invest notwithstanding Madam Meyer's decision to end her
collaboration with Cooper.
Although the Dain Family had some contact with Cooper before, it was him who made an effort to win
favor with the other party and seek collaboration.
This time, it was the other party who took the initiative to come to their door.
Anika wasn't so greedy because she could cooperate and win.
Furthermore, she had already asked Zac about it, and Cooper didn't have any problems with it.
After finishing her official business, Scott casually asked, "How are things between you and President
Hill?"
She smiled and nodded, "Very good"
Their current situation appeared to her to be progressing in a positive way.
In fact, she noticed that getting along with Zac was much easier than it had been eight years before
she came to the villa.
As she reflected on this, she turned to Scott and stated, "I've always wanted to ask, Did you know Zac
from a young age?"
"If you want to talk about business, I invested in the same firm that he did.As for other matters, why
don't you ask him?"
Scott smiled and said, "It's not that I didn't tell you, but I think it's more appropriate for him to say it"
Anika couldn't ask another question because he had stated that, so she could only change the topic.
"Are you sure you don't want the shares of the company?"
Grandpa handed her a huge number of shares, and she requested Scott to come to assist her.
Anika did not care too much about the shares.
She was only afraid that the Cooper Family would become too greedy.
After all, Meyer family was also Elliot's painstaking effort.
But Scott was different, hee really respected Elliot as his big brother.
Hearing her words, Scott shook his head, "Nika, don't worry about me.Before I was adopted by Uncle
Meyer, I wasn't a rich family remember.My current life is already my most satisfied state"
Although he also had some investments, he did not have a fascination for more wealth.
Anika expressed her heartfelt gratitude upon hearing this, "It's been a long time."
He smiled and waved his hand, "Do you have any ideas about the company's future now that you've
returned to the country?"
She did not necessarily want to take over the Meyer family.
But now that things had gotten to this point, she had to be accountable to the company’s employees.
Oliver had taken care of a lot of projects, leaving behind a pile of mess.
Therefore, Madam Meyer needed a more detailed direction right now.
"There are still quite a few workers in the factories of the branch.Many of them are old employees who
have been working in the factory for more than ten years.I want to settle them down."
"Although some industries are profitable, Meyer's money is limited and it will be very difficult to get
involved.I want these branches to turn to industry, but I still need to continue investigating in a more
specific direction"
Scott nodded after thinking, "There's no hurry.After the North City project is operational, it can finally be
postponed for a few years."
She smiled noncommittally.
