Lahat ng Kabanata ng Mr. Webb, Make Your Move!: Kabanata 131 - Kabanata 140

Zara was worried. Was this Macy's own thought, or had Ethan suggested it?This subject was too dangerous. Zara glanced away and said, "I'm not sure what you mean, but I think people need to change sometimes. I want to try new things too. "You and Chairman Webb have been like parents to me, but just like how a young bird grows up and leaves the nest to make its own, I should too, right?"She appealed to Macy's emotions, and it worked. She managed to smoothly change the topic.Macy had no choice. She had to change the subject too. "Let's drink some tea," she said, and that was that.Zara did not think it was good to stay too long. She finished her tea and put down the cup. "It's getting late, and you probably want to rest. I'll head out now."Macy told her, "Ethan is upstairs in the study. Go say goodbye to him. Who knows when you'll come back to visit him again?"That made sense."Which room is the study?" Zara asked."Go upstairs and turn left. It's the second room.""Got it

After leaving the Webbs' place, Zara caught a cab to Starville University and looked up artificial hearts on her phone.When she got there, she had learned a bit about artificial hearts.She put her phone away, used her staff ID to get through the school gates, and hurried to the professor's building.Zara had not been job hunting for two months. Instead, she had been helping out Stanley part-time as his teaching assistant.Initially, when Stanley asked for her help and offered to pay her, Zara thought he was just trying to help her out because she needed money. However, Stanley insisted he really needed help with his end-of-term workload, including teaching and research. He suggested she try it for a couple of days if she was doubtful. After two days, Zara was convinced that Stanley truly needed an assistant.Before, Zara never realized how much work a professor had to do.Just like that, two months flew by.Stanley really did want to help her. He could have chosen a more exp

Outside the restaurant, Stanley turned to Zara and said in a kind tone, "How about we find somewhere else to eat? Maybe some stew?"It was like nothing had happened.Zara blurted out, "Can we really just walk away?"Stanley adjusted his glasses. "Of course. Why not?""I've been helping you with this research for two whole months. It's so important, and now you just want to throw it all away? That's just too much...""Too caught up in my feelings?" Stanley finished her sentence with a chuckle.Zara bit her lip and decided to be straightforward. "I knew from the start that working with Azure Cloud might lead to this. Yosef was never going to leave me alone. All the prep work is done, and you don't need me for the small stuff anymore. "It's the perfect time for me to step away."Don't throw away all the hard work your team has done just because of me. It's not worth it."Stanley kept smiling gently. "I wanted to joke around with you a bit more, but you're so serious, I just can'

At last, Stanley led Zara to where they were standing. The four people on horses were now facing each other.Zara greeted Stefan too, "Mr. Schmidt."Stefan nodded, "Ms. Lowry, it's been a while. I've heard you're doing great working with Stanley. It's true, talented people shine no matter where they are."Zara humbly said, "That's because Professor Schmidt teaches so well."Yosef squinted his eyes, looking distant and cool.Stefan gave Zara another look and then turned to Stanley. "We just walked by the stables and saw the little foal you're taking care of. It seemed to be in some trouble with all the caretakers around it. Do you want to check on it?"Stanley did not want to leave Zara alone with Yosef, not even in a crowd."Zara will come with me to see it. I won't interrupt the talk between you and Mr. Webb any longer.""We got here way before you and have pretty much finished talking. I'll come with you."Stefan was obviously ignoring Zara, looking like he had something pri

Yosef gave a half-smile. "Of course, I don't believe you. That's why I'm asking for details, to see what kind of story you'll make up next.""Mr. Webb, if you're looking for stories, the bookstore's the place to go," Zara said, turning her head away in frustration. She wriggled out of his hold on her chin, refusing to say another word.Yosef watched her for a brief moment, his face softening. He did not press her further. Instead, he took her hands and placed them on the horse's reins. His voice was crisp and cool."Hold the reins with both hands. Left and right steer the horse, and how tight you hold them controls the speed. Don't keep kicking the horse's sides. It'll get used to it and won't respond well."What was he doing? Was he actually teaching her how to ride?Yosef nudged her calf gently. "You don't need to keep your feet in the stirrups all the time. They won't save you. If you fall and get caught in them, you could get dragged and hurt. Got it?"Zara nodded regardless
