Semua Bab Unveiling the True Match: Bab 721 - Bab 730

As the memories faded, Zyra looked up at the stoic man before her, her heart swelling with a mix of tenderness and remembrance."You don't have to be haunted by what happened. I've moved on, and you should too. It's time we both lived freely."Zyra knew he carried some dark memories in his heart, and it was those very shadows that kept him unwaveringly by her side. That was her wild card."Hearing you've moved on makes me happy, but I'm still not up for a drink," he said.It was not that the past had wounded him deeply, it was just that alcohol had become a distant memory, and drinking had lost its appeal.Zyra did not quite catch his drift but nodded anyway. "Guess you're on duty to get me home then."With that, Zyra dove headfirst into a drinking spree, glass after glass. As she drank, Colt appreciated his own sobriety more than ever.Men with roving eyes and bad intentions would linger with their gaze before trying their luck, only to be swatted away by Colt with ease. The wo

Zyra's rejection was as straightforward as it got.Mr. Stewart's optimistic expression faded, his hopeful eyes turning to Colt. "What's your take, Colt?"Colt coughed lightly. "Mr. Stewart, this all feels a bit too sudden and pressured. Maybe we should revisit this conversation later on," he suggested diplomatically.With neither of the young ones on board, Mr. Stewart's eyes dimmed with a hint of sadness."Alright then, if you two aren't ready, just spend some more time together. I'll bring it up again when it feels right. I guess I got ahead of myself," he admitted.Mrs. Stewart, arriving with two cups of tea, stepped into the midst of the tense conversation.Zyra and Colt were perched on the edge of their seats, fidgeting and unsure of where to put their hands. Mr. Stewart, on the other hand, kept turning away, his eyes frequently misty with unshed tears."What's happened here? I step away to make tea, and I come back to find you all acting so peculiar," Mrs. Stewart said, se

"I'm asking you a serious question. What's that supposed to mean?"Zyra's impatience lit a fuse in Haisley. "Seriously, Haisley, you're all up in everyone's business, but can you even handle your own? What's wrong with you? I told you I needed to change. Is that so hard to understand?"Zyra let loose without holding anything back, leaving Haisley speechless.After her outburst, Zyra's eyes swept over the crowd. Those who had been smirking at her expense suddenly lost their grins and looked away, pretending they had not seen a thing."What's everyone staring at? Don't you have your own work to do? Such a drag."Why not hit the books or join a class instead of hanging out here? Is everyone here out of their minds?"Zyra was known for her short fuse, but she had never blown up like that before. She had never cut with words so sharp.A girl nearby sensed trouble brewing and quickly stepped in to smooth things over. "Zyra, chill out, will you? They're just clueless, that's why they

Yaslyn was not wrong—Zyra was undoubtedly the company's golden goose.However, Zyra had messed up that time, so should she not face the consequences?"Ms. Yaslyn, we can't just brush this off, can we? Zyra started it, so she needs to face the consequences. If not, what kind of message does that send to the rest of the team?"Haisley expected her bold statement to earn some nods or even applause. Instead, when she looked back, she found everyone else avoiding her gaze like the plague.With no other option, Haisley braced herself and locked eyes with Yaslyn.Yaslyn chuckled. "You do have a point, and I'm surprised you're thinking about the company's management. Why? Got any plans to take over my job?"That was a low blow.Haisley shook her head vigorously, backpedaling fast. "No, no. I didn't mean that. I was just pointing out that it's against company policy, and, well..."A thought struck her, and she blurted out, "If you're really thinking of kicking me out, do remember that w

"Our Matheo's got a heart of gold, doesn't he?"Zyra leaned in with a mischievous twinkle in her eye as she playfully flicked his nose.Matheo tilted his head up with a grin. "Well, someone has to look out for the little guys.""Who's your inspiration for being Mr. Hero?"Scratching his head, Matheo confessed, "Superman."Zyra could not help but let out a hearty laugh.After a nice meal out, Yaslyn did not expect Colt to be the one waiting to pick Zyra up.Colt greeted them with an easy smile, smoothly taking Zyra's bag from her. "It's been a while.""It's been a while, indeed. How did you two end up crossing paths again?" Yaslyn asked.Zyra's face turned a shade of pink. "Oh, we're not... You know, together. We're just hanging out for a bit.""Oh? Got a little crush now, do you?"Yaslyn was skeptical, knowing how long Zyra had been hung up on Tyler."It's my dad's idea," Zyra murmured, leaning in to whisper the secret in Yaslyn's ear.Yaslyn's eyes lit up with a knowing s
