I Forgot I Ever Loved You (Zoe and Hayden) novel Chapter 151

Zoe Lynd waited for half the day without receiving a reply from Colin Zachs, but she didn't mind.

Quitting meant quitting.

It wasn't like she could be dragged to the office by force.

Zoe enjoyed a few days of pure freedom.

Her life consisted entirely of just her and Lily.

Cozy and relaxing.

That was until she received a call from Garrett Stone.

The man invited her to a coffee shop.

Tempted by the prospect of five hundred thousand dollars, Zoe figured she had to go give it a try.

She arrived at their agreed-upon location, a place with high-class elegance and a pleasant atmosphere.

"Ms. Lynd, you were quite hard to track down."

"Excuse me?"

Zoe really didn't understand what he meant.

"Would you be interested in joining my company?"

He extended an olive branch right off the bat.

Zoe had wanted to ask about the five hundred thousand, not look for a job.

She refused outright.

"Not interested."

Garrett choked on his words.

He thought for a moment and then laughed.

"Fair enough. Easton Group is indeed the undisputed number one corporate empire in the capital circle. But my company works directly with government departments. I know you have exceptional talent in programming, Ms. Lynd. So, on behalf of the state, I am extending a sincere invitation to you. Is that a no as well?"

Zoe felt like his words were getting more and more ridiculous.

Had she run into a scammer?

"Let's just talk about that five hundred thousand."

She had absolutely no interest in being some strong career woman.

Her assets were handed over to Cherry to manage.

Wouldn't it be nice to just be a rich, idle woman?

Was there a rule that women had to go out and build a career?

She just wanted to coast through life.

Billions of dollars were at stake.

If she could get it back, she wouldn't have to work a single day for the rest of her life.

Garrett froze.

In his impression, Zoe was so hardworking and desperate, which meant her family had to be facing a major crisis.

Seeing her calm, composed, and highly intelligent demeanor at Easton Group, he thought she was a woman with great ambition.
