The CEO Who Swore Off Marriage… Until Her novel Chapter 4

The moment Rohana heard Zayne tell the store employee to call the police and check the surveillance, she lost her bluster and looked guiltily at Miguel. "Miggy…"

Rohana had messed up, but as her older brother, Miguel naturally would not stand idly by.

He stepped forward and looked at Enrica as he said, "I'll compensate the store for the losses incurred, so just forgo calling the police. It won't do you any good to make a huge fuss over this."

Although his words made it seem like he was trying to discuss a resolution, his tone suggested that he was not going to take no for an answer.

Enrica noticed the hidden warning in his words and nodded silently.

The Zuckers possessed great influence in Evernorth, so she did not dare risk offending them for one moment of satisfaction, nor could she afford to.

After that, Rohana paid the compensation fee, and the employees cleaned up the scene.

Enrica and Zayne did not linger and instead left together.

Following such a ruckus, neither of them had the mood to continue shopping, so they pushed their shopping cart over to the register to check their purchases out.

There was a long line of people waiting to check out. By the time it was their turn, Miguel, Rohana, and Sheila had also come over to queue up.

When Rohana heard the beep of the scanner, she glanced at the item price displayed and said snidely, "A certain someone sure is living a miserable life after leaving my brother's side. They can't even afford decent bed sheets. I mean, are hundred-dollar bed sheets even made for humans to sleep on?"

Enrica was not a lifeless doll with no temper, but she could not afford to lose her temper against the Zucker family. Therefore, she simply lowered her head and pretended not to hear Rohana.

Seeing her remain silent, Zayne's eyes darkened slightly, and he suddenly commented meaningfully, "A certain someone seems to forget that they're nothing but a former sister-in-law while parading their so-called superiority around like a clown."

Rohana flew into a rage out of humiliation. "Just who did you say looks like a clown? I dare you to say that again!"

Zayne arched an eyebrow and looked at her in surprise. "I didn't mention anyone by name, so why are you getting offended? Could it be that the person I mentioned reminds you of yourself?"

"You—"

Rohana put her hands on her waist and was just about to swear at him when Miguel glared at her and snapped, "Shut up! Haven't you embarrassed us enough?"

She stamped her feet and said indignantly, "I can't take this lying down, Miggy! Enrica is walking all over you with that new pretty boy of hers!"

Miguel pursed his lips, gazing coldly at Enrica and Zayne, who were standing not too far away.

Forget Rohana, because there was no way he was willing to take it lying down either.

However, when he thought about how his assistant, Gregory West, had already arranged a meeting with the boss of Tennings Insurance for him the day after tomorrow, his lips curved into a smirk.

This incident did not matter because before long, Enrica would be crying and begging for him to show mercy.

…

Enrica had been silent ever since she and Zayne left the shopping mall.

Zayne lowered his head to look at her and asked, "Are you very upset?"

She smiled bitterly and replied without attempting to conceal anything, "Yes."

Giving up on a person one loved dearly and abandoning an unforgettable relationship was like cutting out a section of bone to mend an injury. It was impossible not to feel hurt and upset.

She paused, then looked gratefully at Zayne. "Thank you for speaking up for me just now, but…"

She was afraid that Miguel would take his anger out on Zayne.

As if noticing her concern, Zayne said nonchalantly, "Don't worry. I'm related to the boss, and I'm also the best-performing salesperson in my department. It won't be easy for your ex-husband to get to me."

His rich, powerful voice seemed to miraculously soothe her worries.

After they arrived home, Zayne thoughtfully let her shower first. Once she was done showering, she entered the bedroom. She hesitated for a moment, but still decided to lock her bedroom door in the end.

…

Early the next morning, she was about to head out to report to her company when she saw Zayne walking out of his bedroom in his sleepwear.
