"Yes, yes, yes!" Zachary hurriedly said," Thank you, Master Wade! Thank you as well, Don Albert!"
As he spoke, he hurriedly asked, "Don’t Albert, why is Master Wade looking for me? I've been doing my job honestly lately, and
I haven't done any more deceitful deeds..."
Albert urged, "Master Wade is looking for you for a good thing. Hurry up and come with me, and you will soon understand!"
It was only then that Zachary was relieved, and he did not feel nervous anymore. Even his steps felt lighter as he walked.
He followed Albert to Isaac's office. As soon as he had just entered, he saw Charlie, who was sitting on the sofa, and he immediately said in a flattering manner," Master Wade, it has been a long time since I last saw you. How have you been lately?"
Charlie laughed and said, "Zachary Evans, I heard my father-in-law saying that he could not find you even after he tried looking for you several times. I thought you were no longer in Aurous Hill."
Zachary was embarrassed, and he was somewhat fearful as he said, "Master Wade, it's not that I'm deliberately trying to avoid your father-in-law, but it’s just that your father-in-law is really not suited to get involved with antiques. Ever since I spent five hundred thousand dollars to buy a fake item from him, it really got to his head, and he is not only full of self-confidence, but he also went around blindly buying everything from everywhere. To be honest, i f anyone took a brush and drew a picture of the Olympic Games logo and lied to him that it was an authentic piece of work from Johannes Vermeer, I think that he would definitely buy it without a doubt."
As he spoke of this, Zachary then hurriedly said, "That is the reason why I’m avoiding him deliberately. I was just hoping that he could quit this business earlier..."
Immediately after that, Zachary spoke with a face filled with admiration, "I heard that your father-in-law is the vice-chairman of the Calligraphy and Painting Association now. Don't you think that that is much better and suited for him compared to him running to Antique Street every day?"
Charlie laughed out loud, nodded slightly, and said, "Zachary, your speaking skills have not diminished at all."
