The Protector (The Return Of The God of War) novel Chapter 11

In actual fact, Zoey had been awake for a long time now, but she didn’t make a sound.

She looked at Levi wonderingly.

He was right.

The Lopez family really wants me back.

But why?

Zoey’s heart leaped into her throat when she heard Levi requesting Harry to come pick her up in person.

Harry had always been high and mighty. Never in a million years would he accept Levi’s proposal. Levi was just provoking him by having him personally invite her back.

“Fine. Forget it if Harry refuses to come! Bye!”

Levi hung up.

“Are you crazy?” Zoey nudged him. “How could you ask Grandpa to come and get me? I say we go back on our own and forget about everything. There seems to be something very serious going on based on their tone.”

“Don’t. Just wait. Three, two, one…”

Sure enough, Zoey’s phone rang as soon as Levi finished counting down.

“Dad has agreed to go pick you guys up,” Henry’s helpless voice sounded. “Now give me your address!”

“University City’s Borrman Hotel!”

“And your room number?”

“You don’t need to know that. We’ll go down on our own when Harry arrives,” Levi said.

This was to prevent Harry from not coming.

“Huh? Is Grandpa really coming?”

Having been living in Harry’s shadows since she was a child, Zoey was frightened down to the soles of her shoes.

“What are you nervous for? He’s here to invite you back,” Levi said with a smile on his face.

Zoey was so terrified that she had forgotten Levi’s predictions from before—Harry will invite you back in person.

About half an hour later, a Mercedes Benz came to a halt in front of the hotel with Harry appearing in their line of sight.

“Come on. Let’s go down.”

Zoey was still trembling as she grabbed Levi’s arm, not letting go.

When Harry saw Zoey, he subconsciously yelled, “Zoey, you… Oh, get in the car! Grandpa has something important to discuss with you!”

Zoey was dumbfounded to see the pleasant smile on Harry’s face.

When did Grandpa ever smile at me?

In the car, Harry started, “I’ll get down to business, okay, Zoey? Haven’t you been working on West City Ecological Park development project before this? Well, now’s your chance. Mr. Jennings from the Ministry of Construction asked for you to submit the proposal and elaborate the plans to them.”

“You must do your best! I believe you can do this!”

And so, a few minutes before eight, a confused Zoey and Levi arrived at the office building responsible for this project.

“Ms. Lopez, you’re here,” Orlando greeted, shooting up to his feet and went up to welcome them. “Would Ms. Lopez and this gentleman like tea or coffee?”

“Tea for me and coffee for her,” Levi said curtly as he sat down graciously.

Zoey, however, was completely dumbstruck.

He’s Mr. Jennings! The person in charge of management for the Ministry of Construction!

Even Joseph Garrison has to bow down to him when he sees him.

Why is he so courteous to me?

“Did you hear that? Now go and make the arrangements,” Orlando said to his secretary.

“Ms. Lopez, please, have a seat,” Orlando said respectfully to Zoey.
