บททั้งหมดของ Mr. Webb, Make Your Move!: บทที่ 51 - บทที่ 60

For them, chatting about women was just a way to kill time during breaks. It was a light topic to shake off the boredom. Their minds were always on the job, though.Ophite set his coffee down and dove into the real reason he had come by today. Once they got into it, the conversation took up the whole afternoon.As working hours came to an end and they were ready to grab some dinner, they stepped out of the office. Right at that moment, they witnessed the young secretary hurl half a cup of water right at Zara!It happened in a flash. Zara did not even have a chance to duck. The water splashed across her face and trickled down her delicate, petite chin. Her clothes were immediately stained.The young secretary dropped the cup, clapped a hand over her mouth, and bolted. Tears could be seen streaming down her face.Zara kept her cool, ignoring the stares from around the office. She dabbed at her face with a few tissues.Yosef already had his eye on a new secretary, which meant this y

Zara did not need to chime in at the table, so she focused on her feast.While Melanie was bombarding Yosef with her endless questions, Zara polished off a bowl of classic chicken noodle soup, a serving of creamy mashed potatoes with gravy, two pieces of bourbon-glazed ribs, three crispy fried shrimp, a few slices of rich duck liver pâté, a perfectly grilled salmon fillet with a tangy lemon butter sauce, some fresh Caesar salad, and more...Ophite mused to himself that this woman sure could eat.Yosef watched her too, seeing for the first time her impressive appetite. Anyone else might think she had not eaten in days if they were to see the way she tucked in. She did not spare a glance at anyone else.Out of the blue, he asked, "All done eating?"Zara glanced up and caught his gaze squarely on her. He was definitely asking her something. She took a quick sip of her tea and asked, "What do you need, Mr. Webb?""Take Ms. Schmidt home," Yosef instructed.Zara did not have a car. Ho

Zara's gaze shot up to meet Charmaine's, who wore a fake smile as she said, "Ms. Lowry, could you deal with this? It's urgent."Zara skimmed the document. It was Mr. Chapman's contract. She snapped it shut and said, "You're the one handling this. I was only involved in the final meeting."Charmaine folded her arms defiantly. "But Mr. Webb said you're the chief secretary. You're supposed to oversee all the paperwork.""Then let Mr. Webb tell me himself that this file is my job too. I'll make sure it's done." Zara tossed the file back onto Charmaine's desk and accidentally knocked her own water bottle off the edge.Charmaine's face turned red with anger, "You!"Zara was all about an eye for an eye.Melanie blinked, then stepped up to scoop up Zara's fallen thermos. She set it back on her desk corner. She then nudged Charmaine, getting her to walk out of the room with her."Hey, I'm new here and don't really know my way around. Could you show me where the bathroom is?"She had jus

The flasher was nabbed by security and turned over to the local police.Melanie was a mess, crying her eyes out and feeling utterly filthy. She was desperate for a change of clothes and a shower. However, she would not let go of Yosef, insisting he stay by her side.The day's plans were abruptly cut short, so they went to a nearby hotel and got a room. They let Melanie freshen up.Yosef tasked someone with the job of picking out clothes for Melanie.Melanie whimpered, "I don't want just anyone to go, I want Ms. Lowry. She knows what I like. I can't trust anyone else's taste, and I refuse to wear ugly clothes!"Yosef glanced at Zara, who got the hint and volunteered. "I'll go buy the clothes."He studied her face for a moment before saying, "There's a boutique right across from the hotel. Go ahead and buy what's needed. The company will reimburse you."Zara nodded and was about to head out when she heard him add, "And if you need to change, feel free to pick something for yoursel

Zara had just reached the pantry door when these words hit her ears.She stopped dead in her tracks.Melanie snapped back, "Quit trying to cause drama! Look, even if there's something between Yosef and Ms. Lowry, I'll just have to win him over fair and square! "And if you're crushing on Yosef too, feel free to try your luck. I'm just as good as anyone else here, and I'm sure Yosef will choose me in the end!"Zara spun on her heel and left.Melanie was a sweetheart, but Charmaine? After her sneaky plan to get someone else to do her dirty work flopped, she tried to mess with Melanie. She had better step back, or she would see a side of Zara that was not so nice....That evening, as Zara was leaving work, she bumped into Stanley in the lobby.She hesitated for a second before approaching him with a smile. "Hey, Professor Schmidt.""Ms. Lowry," Stanley got up from the couch."You here for Ms. Schmidt? I saw her chatting with a coworker on my way down. She'll probably be here an
