He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 1107

Zachary visibly spaced out for a second. He looked at Scarlett, genuinely at a loss for words.

Noticing the sudden awkwardness, Julian quickly jumped in, keeping his tone light and teasing. "Of course he does. What man doesn't want to fall in love? Bill's just been too laser-focused on his empire to even think about it."

Stellan eagerly backed him up. "Exactly. You guys have no idea how in demand he was back in Country A."

"We're talking A-list actresses and supermodels throwing themselves at him, and he barely gave them the time of day."

Zachary didn't confirm or deny it. He just offered a faint, imperceptible smirk.

Juno rested her chin in her hands, looking at him with wide, curious eyes. "Really? I wouldn't have pegged you for a ladies' man, Zachary."

"But it makes total sense. You're tall, handsome, and you have this whole aloof, untouchable vibe. Girls go crazy for that."

Stellan picked up on her blatant admiration, and his tone immediately grew defensive. "Juno, you're hyping him up a lot. Don't tell me you have a crush on him?"

It was meant to be a harmless joke, but Juno's face immediately flushed a deep, undeniable red.

A girl who usually brushed off any teasing with a laugh was suddenly burying her face in her chest, radiating the frantic shyness of a girl whose secret had just been exposed.

Her reaction instantly shifted the entire dynamic of the group. Everyone exchanged loaded looks.

Zachary glanced at Juno. For a split second, the impenetrable ice in his eyes seemed to thaw.

Scarlett felt a surge of secret triumph.

She was just starting to feel a wave of pride that someone as vibrant as Juno appreciated her brother, when Julian's voice suddenly cut through the air like a knife.

"Stellan, stop talking nonsense."

"The age gap between Juno and Bill is entirely too vast. It's completely impossible."

The second the words left Julian's mouth, Zachary's face went deadpan. His jaw tightened, and his voice dropped to a freezing register.

"Stellan, quit playing matchmaker. You're just making everyone uncomfortable."
