Chapter 739: Striking up a conversation with a handsome guy
Isabella Weaver’s initially low mood was uplifted as Harry Hunter hugged and comforted her, dispelling any worries.She stopped eating the noodles, and instead chatted with Harry, waiting for their meal.
Fortunately, perhaps because they had paid extra, the waiter quickly brought his noodles.
The couple finally dined together, serving each other dishes, refilling each other’s water, and wiping each other’s lips, exuding sweetness and affection.
Harry has become more famous now, and someone recognized him, secretly taking a photo and posting it online.
In the photo, he’s holding a tissue and gently wiping Isabella’s mouth, with a faint smile on his face, gazing at her deeply.
Isabella slightly lifts her chin, her smile radiant, her beautiful eyes meeting Harry’s, overflowing with happiness.
In the Lewis Family’s living room, Cherry Lewis, having finished reading the news, smashed two crystal plates in anger, scattering grapes and strawberries everywhere.
Her features suddenly twisted with wrath; why was her life so miserable while they were so blissfully happy!
This should have all belonged to her!
Cherry vented her anger, loudly calling out for Zoe Lewis to clean up the broken crystal, shouting for a while before realizing no one responded.
She called Zoe but got no answer, having the house searched but finding no trace of her.
Ran away?
Cherry fumed again, finding no one to vent her anger on!
Zoe, of course, wasn’t available to take her call; she was busy flirting with Harry Hunter’s new secretary, Zane Lefton.
To strike up a conversation, she "accidentally" spilled her bottled water onto Zane’s brand new shirt.
"Sorry, I didn’t mean to do that. Let me help you wipe it,"
Zoe said, pulling out a tissue she had prepared in advance, intending to wipe the water stains from his shirt.
Zane stepped back: "It’s okay."
Though he said it was fine, his eyes sharply assessed Zoe, as if he saw through her small talk tactics instantly.
Zoe secretly cried out, "Not good!"
This new secretary looks even more handsome than in the photos; he must have been a campus heartthrob back in school, likely experiencing every attempt from girls trying to win his favor; her little trick probably became predictable!
She quickly decided to change tactics, straightforwardly asked: "Can I have your phone number?"
Zane gave her a faint glance: "No."
Zoe felt her breath stuck in her chest, frozen by his cool demeanor!
Like boss, like employee; Harry is typically so icy and intimidating that people dare not speak to him, let alone try to chat; his imposing aura is enough to deter any girl.
Who knew his new secretary would also be so cold and distant!
Isn’t a gentleman supposed to protect a girl’s dignity when she asks for his number? A fake number would be better than leaving someone embarrassed!
Zoe seriously suspected that Harry chose this secretary for his extreme aloofness and workaholic nature, disregarding women and romance!
A tough nut to crack!
Zoe least liked interacting with this kind of person.
However, she had boasted to Isabella and couldn’t abandon her mission now.
Seeing Zane enter a restaurant for lunch, she followed him, feigning ignorance, "What’s your name?"
