Chapter 253


    Chapter 253


    In a private room named Bambusa in Spago, Zachary and Isaac were seated by the table while their


    assistants were just beside them. As they watched their bosses ring at each other, they were


    helpless.


    Eventually, they rose from the chairs at the same time and lifted their sses.


    "I''ll propose a toast to you, Mr. Selwyn."


    "I''ll propose a toast to you, Mr. Arnold."


    Isaac shot a dispassionate look at Zachary''s assistant, Darell Mcgee. On the other hand, Zachary


    swept an impassive nce over Liam. None of them responded to the assistants.


    Liam and Darell were embarrassed, so they clinked their sses and gulped down the wine. After they


    were seated, they wouldn''t dare to do anything silly again. Hence, they could only look at each other.

    They had never felt so helpless before. The fact that they were respectively the special assistants to


    the presidents suggested that they had excellent capabilities. However, they often felt useless when


    they dealt with their bosses.


    Breaking the silence, Zachary asked, "Aren''t you here to talk about the plot ofnd in Eastville, Mr.


    Arnold? Have you decided to sell it to me?" He pretended to be friendly with a faint smile, but


    everything he said sounded scornful. There was no denying that he was a haughty person despite


    appearing affable.


    On the other hand, Isaac gaped at him unenthusiastically. "I can sell you thend since it doesn''t


    matter to me. However, Patricia is my woman, so I don''t want you to approach her again."


    His rationale was clear; he could give up the plot ofnd but not his woman.


    The smile on Zachary''s face faded when he heard that, and it was reced with coldness.


    "You might not be aware of it yet, Mr. Arnold, but I''ve known Patricia for five years. I''ve been wooing


    her during this period, and she''s considering bing my partner. Love cannot be forced. I don''t think


    she''ll fall in love with a womanizer like you."


    Zachary believed that he knew Patricia very well. An innocent woman like her wouldn''t love ascivious


    man.


    Other than Adeline, Isaac was also in an ambiguous rtionship with Rose. It was also said that there


    was a woman he looked up to, and he had been looking for her over the years. There was no way


    Patricia would fall in love with this kind of man. Even if she was besotted with Isaac, Zachary was


    determined to make her stay away from that jerk.


    All of a sudden, Isaacughed. "Don''t you think you''re too conceited, Mr. Selwyn? Do you think you


    know her very well? You might not be aware of it yet, but after you sent her flowers today, she kissed


    me and said she loves someone like me."


    Then, he poured himself a cup of wine and squinted before chugging it down joyfully.


    A momentter, he said to Liam, "Have you brought the contract with you? Give it to Mr. Selwyn. If he''s


    willing to sign the contract, the plot ofnd in Eastville will be his."


    Liam put down the contract in front of Zachary, who soon realized that there was a condition in the


    contract. It was stated that Zachary would have to stop wooing Patricia. Besides that, he could never


    see her or contact her again.


    The moment he saw the condition, he tore the contract apart. "Stop daydreaming, Isaac! We still have


    other projects even if we don''t get the plot ofnd in Eastville, but I''ll never give up on Patricia!"


    He rose from the chair after he finished speaking.


    Darell quickly got up as well. "We''ll take our leave, Mr. Arnold. See you, Liam!"


    Zachary glowered at him. "Stop talking to people like them. Go!"


    They left the room and shut the door with a bang.


    Liam stole a nce at Isaac, who was drinking wine cheerfully. He had to acknowledge that no one


    was better than Isaac when it came to enraging others.


    Zachary''s expression earlier suggested that he was infuriated.


    Perhaps he has never kissed Miss Aniston before. He must be jealous, Liam thought.


    Isaac filled his cup with wine again and eyed Liam. "Do you have a girlfriend now, Liam?"


    He recalled that Liam used to have a girlfriend, but they broke up for some reason. This guy is in his


    thirties, but he is still single. What a pity.
