The firefighter glanced at her meaningfully with a bit of playfulness in his eyes.
“Selena, we were classmates in college for two years. You don’t recognize me anymore?”
Selena froze slightly as she looked at his face carefully.
She finally matched this face with a vague memory in her mind.
The young boy chased her for two years, but she rejected him.
At that time, Selena was still stuck in her horrible marriage with Derek Norton, and her grandfather had people watching her at all times.
Thus, there were hardly any men of her age that were allowed to appear around her.
This was Zachary Salvatore who fervently pursued her back then, right?
In an instant, Selena had mixed feelings.
Why did Zachary look so different from before?
She did not pay much attention to him before, but he was so hot now!
Selena thought to herself and felt regretful.
After Zachary checked the fire hydrant, he went to see the fire extinguisher.
However, his face was solemn as he put the fire extinguisher back.
“The fire extinguisher isn’t up to standard, so you can’t operate the bar tomorrow.”
Selena was shocked for a moment. “Huh? Why? This is a new one!”
Zachary wrote some notes on his inspection record book before he looked up at her with a smile.
“Selena, you don’t think that I’m avenging myself, do you?”
Selena pursed her lips. “Zachary Salvatore, I don’t recall that we have any enmity between us, right?”
The man’s eyes lit up. “So, you do remember me!”
Selena smiled. “How could I forget?”
She reached out, brushed her hair back, and looked at him gently.
“Then, will you please tell me why this isn’t up to standard? It isn’t easy for me to start a small business. I’ll cooperate in any way I can.”
Zachary smiled. “The foam fire extinguisher you bought can only cover the surface of burning objects. It’s intended to extinguish liquid fires. It won’t work for polar solvents and electrical fires. Your bar has a lot of electrical appliances and alcohol, so if a fire does break out, this kind of fire extinguisher won’t be able to extinguish the fire.”
Selena’s expression froze slightly, then she smiled brightly.
“We didn’t know this. Can I trouble you to recommend the proper fire extinguisher then? Or do you sell them?”
Zachary smiled meaningfully.
“If you trust me, then leave this to me.”
Their conversation was pleasant.
It was clear that Zachary was interested in her, but he did not want to get ahead of himself.
Selena did not have feelings for him, especially after knowing that he used to be his junior in college.
It involved her past, which she was reluctant to deal with.
As soon as Zachary left, the bar manager, Chaz, greeted Selena.
“How is it? Did you nail it?”
Selena’s face froze.
“Nail what? He took our fire extinguisher!”
Chaz was speechless.
When Chaz worked at other bars in the past, those bars used the same kind of fire extinguisher, and the authorities did not notice.
Did Selena offend someone?
After a few days, Zachary solved the fire extinguisher issue for them.
Selena then offered to treat him to dinner, to which Zachary readily agreed.
Zachary chose the location, a well-known restaurant nearby.
He was not in his uniform and dressed casually, so he looked youthful and sexy. His clothes were also from big brands.
Zachary was a firefighter, but he was a big spender, which was a surprising contrast.
However, Selena knew that Zachary was from a well-to-do family, so she was not surprised.
“Selena, I ordered a few dishes. What else do you want to eat?”
Selena raised her eyebrows, smiled, and added two more side dishes.
Zachary, who was sitting opposite her, was an eye candy. Selena felt more attracted to him than the up-and-coming new celebrities.
She just felt blessed to be able to eat with such a handsome guy.
“Zac, why did you become a firefighter?”
