"Z-Zach?" Wendy looked up in surprise, but her wrist was roughly shaken off.
Zach shot her a cold glance. "Didn't I tell you to rest at home? You don't need to concern yourself with work matters. Why didn't you listen to me?"
"I'm sorry, Zach! I just wanted to help however I could. I didn't think Serena would…"
Before she could finish, Serena let out a mocking laugh.
"All I did was say a few words. You went and threw yourself at me. Wendy, Zach saw everything just now. You might want to choose your words wisely."
"I-I just lost my balance in the heat of the moment."
Wendy didn't dare provoke Zach further. She could only bite her lip, muttering softly with her head down.
Whether she had truly lost her balance, anyone with eyes could see the truth.
Serena rolled her eyes, not bothering to engage.
Unexpectedly, Zach took it seriously and examined Serena with concern. "Did you get hurt?"
Serena couldn't be bothered to respond.
"I've delivered the proposal. I'm leaving." She turned and walked out.
Behind her, Howard finally picked up on Zach's attitude and hurried forward with a smile.
"Mr. Foster, Nina has been quite busy with work lately. Let's sit down and discuss the project. The girls can sort out their own problems. We men shouldn't get involved. But once we finalize this deal, we can buy some gifts for Nina to cheer her up."
Hearing that gifts would be bought to appease Serena, Zach finally sat down to discuss business. But before that, he ordered someone to send Wendy home.
Wendy stomped her foot in frustration as she left.
She muttered under her breath, "Why does Serena get to handle business while I don't? What makes her better than me?"
