Way Back Into Love (Essie) novel Chapter 279

"Which friend?" she asked.

"It's Miss Qin," the Secretary replied.

Leila? Suddenly, Essie frowned again, and without uttering a single word, she turned around and went upstairs. 'I'm going to have a surprise attack. Why does he and Leila lock themselves in the office?'

The door of the office was not locked. She pushed it open and saw that the man and woman inside were hugging and they looked intimate.

She just stood at the door, thinking that she shouldn't be surprised. They were meant to love each other, but they couldn't be together because of the opposition of their family. So they took her, a fool, as a substitute as the honorable future hostess of the Rong family.

But somehow she felt hurt as if she was cheated, tricked and insulted.

Her sudden appearance shocked Zac. He let go of her and asked, "Why are you doing here?"

"Sorry to interrupt you. You can go on!" Essie gritted her teeth again, slammed the door and ran outside.

"Essie--" Zac ran out like a fast wind and grabbed her in the corridor. "Listen to me, you misunderstood me."

"No need. I only believe what I see with my eyes." Essie flung his hands away with all her strength and said, "Zac, you major asshole! That's why you locked me in the villa. You don't want me to disturb you and your lover, do you? If you really have the ability, marry her. Don't always peep. You are not a coward, and you should not always hide yourself under the ground."

"Leila and I are just talking business. Nothing else." Zac explained with a clear and honest look in his eyes. Essie didn't believe a word, thinking that for the past seven days, he must stay with Leila every day, and even the office was their 'battlefield'. She was pissed off with her hair boiling.

"She is a jewelry designer. What business does she have with you?"

"She has already returned to the Qin group. This time she is working on the open project of the resort in City E."

"So you two are hugging each other to talk business?" The corners of her mouth lifted into a mocking smile. If she hadn't come in to disturb them, things would have turned completely different? What would they do next?

"She just fell down. I gave her a hand." Seeing that she didn't trust him at all, Zac was annoyed and helpless.
