I Forgot I Ever Loved You (Zoe and Hayden) novel Chapter 326

If he hadn't known how desperately she had clawed for Hayden's attention in the past, doing unspeakable things just to get him to look at her, Ethan might have actually believed she had moved on.

Ethan felt a wave of intense revulsion. He wanted to throw up.

Hayden wasn't blind. The hushed, collaborative way Zoe and Garrett spoke mirrored a deeply devoted couple.

Smack.

Hayden slapped his silverware down onto the table with calculated force and stood up. “Since it's settled, Director Lynd will split her time between both offices starting today. Ms. Winters will assume full authority on Easton's end. All issues go through her. As for you, Director Lynd—”

Hayden's voice was a detached drawl. “You used to be my secretary at Easton. I require you by my side to personally debrief me on every foundational detail you built. I will be directly overseeing the final phases.”

“...”

The joint project between Easton and Sterling had two months left until completion.

Zoe had assumed she would never have to see them again.

With a single command, Hayden had forcefully chained them together. For the next two months, she would essentially be forced to work alongside him day in and day out.

Garrett stayed silent for a few seconds before letting out a sharp, incredulous laugh.

Hayden demanding Zoe at lunch definitely had ulterior motives.

Ethan paused with his fork halfway to his mouth, suddenly viewing Zoe with a twisted sense of respect.

She really did have some tricks up her sleeve.

For the first time in five years, she had fully captured Hayden's undivided attention.

If Sienna hadn't been sitting right there, he would have applauded Zoe on the spot.

This woman was genuinely dangerous.

Sienna sank into dark thoughts, trying to decipher Hayden's true motives.

“Director Lynd, my standards are exacting. I expect absolute perfection in your execution. One mistake, and Easton terminates this partnership immediately.”

Zoe met his gaze. “Mr. Thorne, a signed contract binds both parties. On what grounds does Easton think it can unilaterally terminate the agreement?”

Hayden's words and actions were beyond shameless.
