Way Back Into Love (Essie) novel Chapter 414

In the morning, as soon as Essie entered the office, the secretary came. "Mr. Zac's secretary called and invited you to come to the tea house to talk about business at 3:00 this afternoon."

"Which one?" asked she. She was afraid that she misheard.

"President Rong of the Emperor, your ex- Husband. " The secretary dared not to utter the last word "husband" in fear that Essie would feel uncomfortable.

"Okay." She nodded while she was restless inside.

Did Zac want to see her?

What should he tell her?

Essie's heart began to race uncontrollably. She was like a traveler who had walked five days and nights in the desert, and was dying to see a fresh spring.

Although she had decided not to contact him anymore, her heart was so eager to see him, so eager for his touch and warm and safe embrace.

She couldn't help missing him every day.

His tall and handsome figure constantly appeared in her mind. She closed her eyes, the shadow was still there, and she reached out her hand to turn off the light. The shadow was still in the darkness. Even if she was asleep, it would linger in her dream. What was more horrifying was that her soul was longing for it, constantly surging a gentle wave. She tried to hold it tightly, so that it could never escape.

She took out her makeup bag from the drawer. Without his company, she couldn't sleep well. Every night she couldn't fall asleep, with dark circles under her eyes. She didn't eat well, either. She felt sad and lost her appetite. Her face was pale, and even her chin was sharp.

She needed make-up to make herself look energetic. She needed to hide the dark circles under her eyes, and her pale face, as well as all her sadness and haggard. She didn't want him to see her fragility.

The moment she entered the VIP room, Zac noticed that she had put on makeup which was a bit heavy. In front of him, she never wore makeup and always kept a straight face. Did she do it on purpose today?

Essie looked better than her. He had no dark circles around his eyes and no stubble on his chin. He was still very energetic and handsome.

Disappointment was like waves rolled up by the violent wind in the sea.

She was dispensable in his heart. Her existence couldn't affect his mood at all.

"Mr. Zac asked me to come here. What's the matter?" She tried to sound calmer than she thought. He made the appointment by his secretary, not himself. Obviously, he just treated her as a client.

"Miss. Essie, is your Xu's Group going to unite with the Qin's Group through marriage?" He was poker faced and as cold as an iceberg. Even his voice was cold.

Essie felt the air around her was cooling sharply, especially when she heard he call her "Miss. Essie". Her limbs were cold all of a sudden.

She rubbed her hands, trying to warm herself up. "This is a private issue between my sister and Fell. It won't affect the cooperation between Xu's Group and Rong's Group." She said in a low voice.

A cold light flashed in the eyes of Zac, "Alice came back with a purpose."

"Please don't suspect my sister randomly. I found her back. If I didn't hire that private detective, she would still suffer in that small village." Explained Essie. Anyway, Alice was her sister, so she wouldn't think ill of her.

With a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth, Zac said, "stupid and brainless! You'd better just hand the Xu's Group over to her directly. Otherwise, you might lose your life at last."

Zac's words infuriated Essie. In his eyes, she was always a silly girl who could not turn over even if she had become a dead duck.

"You have nothing to do with my death." She said angrily.

"You are right. I have nothing to do with it. You were still useful to me in the past, but now you are not."

His sneer was like the cold wind coming through the window, which seemed to freeze the air in the room. "Then why did you come to me?" she asked. Her voice was even lower, as if she was about to faint breath.

"Let me remind you. Don't let Alice do anything to damage the interests of our two families, or I'll make her die a horrible death." A bloodthirsty expression appeared on Zac's face. He was a cruel demon king, heartless and cold-blooded. Anyone who dared to make an enemy to him would feel as good as death.

Then, a chill spread from Essie's spine, "my sister really likes Fell. Please don't get her wrong." There was a trace of terror in her voice. She couldn't protect her sister if it was Zac who wanted to deal with her sister.

"She has just come back for a few days, and now she has already taken a fancy to Fell. Is it possible?" Zac snorted.

"Can't she fall in love at first sight?" She muttered.
