Chapter 701
Zachary simply grinned, disregarding Lulu's wrath.
'Even if you do, I would own up to it because I deserve that much. I've even written my will to ensure that you won't be punished."
Lulu snorted coldly. "Save your cheap theatrics."
Zachary did not mind that at all. "Whatever you say."
He was being thick-skinned, and he could not care less about what Lulu said or thought about him.
After all, he knew very well that Lulu's impression was long since tarnished, and he would just lose her if he still cared about his image now.
This time, he would not lose her-he would keep her firmly within his grasp no matter the cost.
However, Lulu only felt irritation from seeing his face, and she started to head out.
Zachary followed her. "Where are you going?"
Giving him a look, she replied, "I need a job."
"I can give you money, or arrange for a position at my company. How does becoming my personal assistant or secretary sound?"
He was smiling, but he was dead serious-he would never allow Lulu to get a job anywhere else.
Lulu frowned, left speechless since he obviously wanted to keep her confined at all times.
It was outrageous, and she would never play along or he would only get more demanding!
'What if I insist on working?" she said staunchly, clearly not going to budge!
Zachary appeared taken aback, but he did not dare to push her too far. ’ You can work-"
"Not a job you provide either, or I'll take you down with me."
Zachary was silent for a long while. "How, exactly? And even if you don't care, think about Barbara and her husband. I won't spare them if you hurt yourself-’
Smack!
Lulu had slapped him across the face in her fury, leaving a clear palm print on his cheek.
Zachary was unperturbed, however. "It doesn't hurt. I deserve it anyway even if it does!"
With those words, he reached out to take her into his arms.
Lulu pushed him away right then, thinking him as crazy as he was a deviant.
