Lahat ng Kabanata ng Mr. Webb, Make Your Move!: Kabanata 331 - Kabanata 340

Yosef was in charge, thanks to him. Zara and John's deal went without a hitch. They picked a day to sign their contract in no time at all.Zara raised her glass and said, "Here's to Mr. Webb and Mr. Hummer. I hope our three companies can work together in the future."Yosef raised his glass too and gave the table a little tap. That was his way of joining the toast.After that, Zara did not have much to do. John was worried Yosef might still be upset about what happened earlier, so he kept trying to make Yosef happy.Yosef just stayed cool and calm.Zara noticed she was not needed right then, so she informed an assistant and went off to the restroom.When she was done and came out, she saw Leah fixing her makeup in the mirror.Zara washed her hands quietly, dried them with a paper towel, and was about to head back to the party.Leah snapped her makeup compact shut and said, "Zara, you haven't thanked me yet."Zara turned to her and asked, "Oh? For what should I be thanking you?"

Not at all.Zara was desperate to slide off Yosef's lap.His arm, though, was wrapped around her waist like a seatbelt, keeping her pinned in place.She caught a whiff of his clean, snow-like scent. She bit her lip, and with a determined push, she managed to stand up. They were locked in a silent battle of will.The car wobbled on the spot. To anyone passing by, it looked as if the people inside were… well, up to something.Charvi, sitting in the front, wished she could disappear beneath the car rather than be inside it.Perhaps it was the car's odd shaking or the duration it had been parked, but the doorman of Epitome Gastronomy came over and knocked on the window. He peeked inside."Hello..."Without tinted windows, the scene inside was clear—a man and a woman in an awkwardly close proximity.Yosef's icy stare sent a shiver down the doorman's spine, making him back away fast."I'm so sorry!"With Yosef distracted, Zara wriggled free and scooted to the far seat. She put a s

Zara's brows were furrowed together. Yosef claimed she owed him from high school? What was he talking about?They went to the same high school, but she barely knew him then. She had only heard his name and seen him a few times. How could she owe him anything?Not this again. He kept saying she owed him, but for what?Zara asked him directly, looking him in the eye and waiting for his response.Yosef's lips were thin and sharp. The next moment, he released her hand. His face was cold as he unbuckled his seatbelt and stepped out of the car.Ignoring her, he walked into the small, cozy restaurant.Zara was puzzled.She took a deep breath and followed him in.It was now past ten, and dinner time was over. The restaurant was quiet. Yosef headed straight for a corner table, and the waiter quickly brought over the menu.Yosef did not even glance at it. "One of each," he said.With that said, Zara's frown deepened. “Are you trying to get back at me this way?” Zara thought he was wasting her mo

Zara's high school was one of the best in the city, filled with kids from rich families. It was known as an elite school, and Zara had earned her spot there with her top-notch grades.With so many rich kids around, life at school was pretty fancy. One day, a student would donate new sports gear, and the next day, another would upgrade the pianos in the music room.Once, someone even treated the whole school to afternoon tea every day, with fancy desserts and milkshakes from popular brands. Zara had put on quite a few pounds from all those treats.Zara always thought that compared to all the fancy stuff, food was the most practical. They had lunch early and got out late, and by four or five in the afternoon, they were really hungry.She just could not remember who had sponsored those treats."What are you looking at?" Yosef asked as he turned around. "Aren't you coming?"Zara looked away, got in the car, and shut the door. Now, they were off to the hotel.They rode in silence mos

Zara had a meeting with John to sign a contract the next morning.She got to the office bright and early. She had a quick chat with the legal and business teams. Then, at ten on the dot, they all headed downstairs to greet their guest.Even though John was too cautious to make things tough for them, they still needed to present themselves well. As soon as they spotted John's car, a voice called out, "Zara!"Upon instinctively turning around, Zara saw Leah approaching. Her forehead creased with worry.Leah stared at her and said firmly, "I need to talk to you. Let's find somewhere private to chat."Zara responded with politeness, "I'm sorry, Ms. Nox, we're in the middle of meeting a client. We don't have time right now."Leah said in a serious tone, "Are you saying you don't want to talk to me alone and you'd rather talk here in front of everyone?"John had just stepped out of his car, so Zara quickly looked at her colleague, who got the hint and went to welcome him.Zara then a
