Chapter 182


    Chuck''s embarrassment was evident. He could see Zelda''s beautiful legs wrapped in silk leggings.


    He couldn''t take his gaze away from it.


    "Sister Zelda, did you wear this on purpose?" Chuck smiled bitterly.


    Zelda chuckled, "Nope. Hop in the car. Are you scared? If you like it, you can touch it. I won''t


    object."


    Chuck felt vulnerable, and Zelda''s smile faded. She chimed, "Don''t be afraid, okay?"


    Then, she took out a silk scarf from her bag to cover her legs and asked, "Is that all right?"


    "Thank you, Sister Zelda," Chuck heaved a sigh of relief. Zelda was very considerate of his feelings.


    "Why are you thanking me? You''re the first person to see my legs, and I''m more than willing to let


    you see it," Zelda teased.


    Chuck smiled wryly. His first impression of Zelda was that she was a bit cold. When he first met her,


    she gave Chuck an impression that he should not get close to her. Yet, now they were familiar with


    each other.


    Chuck couldn''t believe it happened. How could he have asked Zelda for help the first time he got in


    her car...


    He shook off his unpleasant thoughts. He had married Yvette Jordan, and he refused to do anything


    to hurt her. After thinking of his wife, Chuck calmed down.


    Zelda sighed, "You are so loyal to Yvette."


    A hint of jealousy was apparent in her tone.


    Chuck didn''t have much belief in himself. He had cheated three times, twice with Zelda, and the


    other with Queenie Carson right in front of Yvette.


    Chuck no longer wanted to think about it anymore. If Yvette learned what took ce that night, what


    would happen to him? What he did with Zelda was fine, but with Queenie, it urred just in front of


    Yvette inside her room. If she knew this, what would her expression be like?


    Chuck prayed that Yvette would never find out about this matter.


    The car was all of a sudden extremely quiet.


    Zelda broke the awkward silence by asking Chuck where he was going. He told her the address,


    and she drove him to that location.


    When they left, Chuck didn''t notice Zabrina Yalden, who was inside the za filming. Coincidentally,


    she looked towards their direction and wondered, "This figure... Could it be Chuck?"


    The guy seemed to be Chuck. It made her wonder why Chuck, an investor and the za owner''s


    friend, didn''t show up today.


    She didn''t consider it normal. Suddenly, Wilbur Wendel came over and said, "Are you done now?"


    Zabrina nodded, "Okay, but just give me a while."


    She had to change her outfit first. If not, there would be unnecessary disturbances. Her facemask


    and sunsses were necessary to hide her identity.


    Wilbur was delighted since it would be his first dinner with a famous star. To him, Zabrina was


    perfect. He thought if he could get her to be with him today, then maybe...


    Wilbur was thrilled just thinking about it.


    After a while, Zabrina came over fully-prepared.


    The crew began to clean up before getting off work, so Zabrina and Wilbur went out to dinner. It was


    Zabrina''s first timeing to the za, and she found itsyout warm and unique. The za''s


    friendly design was due to the systematic management of the ce, plus having apetent


    manager with lots of ideas and visions.


    Zabrina asked, "You put in a lot of effort into this za, haven''t you?"


    "Not much." Wilbur smiled and apuded Chuck secretly. Chuck had taken over the za for a


    short time, yet his effective management amazed Wilbur.


    The more Zabrina looked around, the more she regarded the ce excellent with a promising


    future. She didn''t expect Wilbur, who sat opposite her, to be so capable. It was hard to believe that a


    young, nouveau riche businessman could be so full of promise. It was very rare toe by.


    Wilbur was pleasantly surprised, and Zabrina''s reaction gave him hope.


    The two of them soon spotted a restaurant, and Wilbur started to chat away the minute they sat


    down. This was his chance to show off, so he tried his best to talk more about himself.


    Zabrina felt odd listening to him. Why was Wilbur so skilled at managing the za, but he has only


    been talking of pleasure the entire time? Why wasn''t he discussing more his projects and ns for


    the ce?


    How did they run the za? How hard could it be? Did they hire an expert to do it?


    Judging by Wilbur''s look now, they probably did.


    Zabrina just shrugged it off and continued to eat. She had worked hard the entire day and she was


    exhausted.


    ......


    As Zelda drove into the parking lot of a building, curiosity got the best of her. This building seemed


    familiar, and she finally realized why. Her previous boss had started thispany, and the whole


    building was newly-renovated. For some unknown reason, thepany seemed to be nning


    something big. If so, what was Chuck doing here?


    Chuck got out of the car. His mother mentioned several people had taken interest in this ce. The


    building was around 20 to 30 years old and its value wasn''t much. However, the piece ofnd where


    it stood was worth at least 700 or 800 million dors. Chuck inspected the ce and felt it had


    potential.


    His mother had called him on purpose, so she must be very drawn to this ce. However, he didn''t


    quite understand what his mother nned on doing after purchasing this property.

    "Chuck, what will you do here?" It surprised Zelda to see Chuck checking this ce out like he was


    looking at a product. Was Chuck thinking of starting apany here?


    Chuck smiled and didn''t say a word.


    "You''re starting a newpany here, aren''t you?" Zelda was stupefied. If he wanted a new


    business venture in the city center, at least he worth more than three billion dors then can rent the


    whole building.


    "No." Chuck shook his head.


    "Then what are you going to do?" Zelda didn''t dwell on it anymore, but her fists were clenched in


    anticipation.


    "I''m nning to buy this property!" Chuck announced, his eyes looking calm and confident.


    Zelda was at a loss for words and mused inwardly, "Buy this ce? My God, acquiring this building


    is way different from getting the za. It would cost him roughly two billion dors! How long has it


    been since Chuck bought two cars, an apartment and a za? Now, this property?"


    Zelda couldn''t envision how wealthy Chuck must be like.


    "Don''t you believe me, Sister Zelda?" Chuck smiled.


    "Of course, I believe whatever you say." Zelda smiled with bitterness in her heart. How could she


    not believe him? How could someone who used a helicopter to deliver millions of ingredients not


    afford this ce? Nevertheless, Zelda did not expect Chuck toe here for this purpose.


    "Let''s go up and have a look," Chuck implored. He couldn''t wait any longer to go inside.


    Zelda nodded. The two of them stepped into the elevator, and Zelda''s eyes were secretly studying


    Chuck. She found it hard to see through his expression.


    "Wait up!" Someone called out and came rushing toward them.


    Chuck pushed down on the red button and waited for a man and a woman toe in. The young


    man was in his early twenties and wore a suit. The woman was about the same age as Zelda and


    was very attractive. Her figure was very provocative, but she showed no emotions on her face. She


    stood in front of Chuck, and her fragrance lingered in the lift. The curve on her back was very


    noticeable. She was an absolute beauty.


    The man said, "President Miller, I have arranged the necessary documents to acquire this building.


    They are all here,"


    He appeared to be the woman''s assistant.


    The woman nced at him and asked, "How much is the estimate?"


    " Around 1.8 billion to 1.9 billion dors," The man answered.


    "The building''s location is worth the price range." The woman nodded as if the matter was not a


    huge deal. Chuck sighed. This woman was most likely one of hispetitors.


    She looked like a filthy rich individual.


    "Regardless of how many people there will be, we must try our best to secure this ce," The


    woman spoke without taking a nce at Chuck. In her opinion, he couldn''t be here to buy the


    building.


    "Yes!" The man nodded politely.


    However, the woman noticed Zelda. She scanned Zelda from top to bottom and asked, "Zelda, why


    are you here? Are you nning to open a restaurant in this ce?"


    Chuck was caught unaware that the woman knew Zelda. However, Zelda''s expression was not very


    pleasant. It seemed that their rtionship was slightly sour.


    They were about the same age, so they must have been ssmates back in the days.


    The woman continued, "I''ve asked you before to do business and finance with me but you insisted


    on opening a restaurant. Do you regret it now?"
