The rest of the evening followed through with pin-drop silence. And as soon as they were done, Darien didn't hesitate even for a minute before taking Zain back home.The ride was unusually quiet, and it got Darien worried and thinking. He felt angry about how his parents treated the love of his life today. He had simply taken the girl he wanted, to meet his family. Who would have thought that they'd be so rude and harsh towards her? Thanks to his grandmother who was able to calm the situation, heaven alone knew what his reaction would have been after seeing those tears pouring from Zain's eyes. Thinking about them, he suddenly pulled over unexpectedly. The car screeched loudly to a halt. But, the loud noise wasn't able to bring Zain's attention. Her eyes were still focused outside of her window. How deep in thought was she?Darien unbuckled his seatbelt and grabbed onto Zain's waist, and only then did she turn around to face him. But, her innocent-looking beautiful face held a quizzi

Zee's instantly turned red on hearing what Darien said, and she totally felt embarrassed."I will go prepare for the meeting right away." She informed, before hurrying away. As soon as Zee left, Darien looked at the direction she had been standing in, and his eyes grew slightly warm. Did his little PA actually think he'd fire her? So she'd fall into the hands of someone else? Really?He knew better ways to punish someone as her. He didn't necessarily have to let her go. He'd let her keep making more mistakes, besides, the more the mistakes, the greater the chances are of his punishment intensifying.Zee returned to her office, and hurriedly, but carefully picked the necessary files for the meeting with the company they were to meet that noon. She felt really nervous, like it was going to be her first day at work, or ... the first meeting with the boss. But, that's just how she would always feel whenever she was, or was going to be in Darien's presence. The main reason she would rather

Zee followed behind Darien, trying to meet up with his fast pace, but it was just impossible. Darien’s anger was all over him, it was intense, it was radiating. It could be felt by everyone. It was different from his usual coldness. As a matter of concern, it surpassed his usual cold attitude. As they arrived at their private layer, Zee tried to avoid coming in contact with him, but Darien pulled her by the wrist into his office. Frightened, Zee found herself taking retreating steps backward as Darien approached her with that angry look in his eyes. She wanted to speak, she wanted to explain what transpired back there, but she was tongue-tied, and trembling. She continued to retreat until her butt hit the desk. Now stuck in the middle of him and the desk, she could feel the danger oozing from Darien, and it terrified her to the core. And, as if their closeness wasn’t enough already, Darien put his hands on each side of the desk, enclosing her, so she couldn’t escape. “Seems you like

"I'm not going to accompany you this time around. I'll be very busy attending to my personal affairs. Besides, you now have an Assistant whose responsibility it is to accompany you to things like this. Am I right Ms. Ling?" Hau Lin asked, turning to Zee."Uhmm.. Yes, Mr. Lin," Zee answered. "Hau Lin!!" Darien tried to speak, but Hau Lin interrupted."I'm trying to get myself a girlfriend. You know, winning someone's heart isn't easy, especially when this person in question is quite stubborn." Hau Lin said. "I came to let you in on this. And also... Grandma would like to see you, and please do not turn her down this time around." Hau Lin strolled out afterward with a smile of victory. This was just the right opportunity to set his plans going. He was getting tired of seeing the boring, grumpy Darien. He wanted that happy cousin he used to know ten years back. This wasn't for the rewards, at least, not mainly."Start making preparations for our travel, you're coming along." Darien sou

The minute they stepped foot into the house, Darien's expression turned intimidatingly cold. Whereas Zee couldn't help but be awed by the magnificence and the amount of wealth on display. From top to bottom, everything screamed wealth. There was still that feeling of deja Vu, but she silenced it."Oh, my dearest grandson! You finally came to see Grandma." An aging voice pulled Zee back to Earth. Her eyes traveled to the palatial style grand stairs where a frail elderly woman stood slightly hunched. With grey hairs and a wrinkled face which although had already aged, told of a beautiful youth. One could most correctly guess her age. Behind her stood a graceful, dark-haired milf and an elderly man who had a striking resemblance to Darien. 'Are those his parents?" Zee couldn't help but ask herself..."Good evening Grandma." Darien bowed slightly at the elderly woman approaching him."Good evening my dear. How is my favorite Grandson doing?" Grandmother Quin inquired as she cupped Darien
