    Chapter 983 Do You Mean It


    “I just wanted to have a chat with him since we''re from the same country, but...” Johanna pouted. “He


    just has that grim expression on his face and refused to talk to me.”


    Johana did all the talking when she tried to strike a conversation with Frank. Moreover, throughout the


    whole process, they had their backs facing everyone.


    That was why everyone present thought they did not talk much to each other.


    “He''s a Chanaean but grew up in Lostaria,” Zephyr responded with a faint smile. He felt a surge of heat


    in his throat when he stroked Johanna''s skin with his fingers.


    After putting the ss of champagne on the table, he wrapped his hand around Johanna''s waist.


    “Come on, let''s go and have fun elsewhere.”


    Johanna hummed in acknowledgment. Before leaving, she nced at Frank and noticed he was


    standing next to Alston. He still looked indifferent even when he was listening to what his boss was


    saying.


    She could not help but wonder how Genevieve got to know Frank. How did they get acquainted since


    Genev had never been to Lostaria and Frank grew up in Lostaria? But if Genev knows these Lostarian


    mafias...


    Johanna tilted her head to look at Zephyr, hoping he could answer her doubt. However, when she


    thought of how Genevieve nearly lost her life when Amanda faked her death and the fact that the sly


    and cruel Zephyr was with the mafia, she decided to keep mum.


    She did not want to risk putting Genevieve in danger.


    When they were both seated in the car, Zephyr made Johanna sit on hisp.


    He stuck his fingers into her bra strap and said, “Kitty, do you know the way you dressed today has


    aroused all the men? I could tell they all wanted to rip your skirt apart.”


    Johanna tried not to let his remark get to her. She responded with a faint smile and said, “I''m a fashion


    designer, so I know how to dress up well. I have to doll myself up a little to make you proud, right?”


    “Really?” Zephyr arched his brows and retracted his hand from the bra strap, which went loose and fell


    from her shoulder.


    He asked with a smirk, “You dressed like this for my sake?”


    “Of course!” Johanna ran her fingers across his lips and inched closer, but when they were about to


    lock lips, she pulled herself away. “Do you not like it?”


    “I like it.” Zephyr pulled her closer when she was trying to distance herself. “But I like your sweet


    nothings more.”


    The car drove out of the city, gradually passed through a forest, and headed to the castle on the


    mountain.


    The next day, Zephyr received a call early in the morning.


    He answered it with his eyes shut, and when he learned that he needed to make a trip to his office to


    attend to an emergency, he immediately ended the call and was about to get out of bed.


    The woman beside him sensed his movement and embraced him.


    “Where are you going?” she muttered while tilting her head to look at the man.


    Her porcin-white skin was exposed as only half of her body was covered in a nket, and her ck


    hair spread like feathers on a pillow. Her eyshes remained cast downward as if she was not ready to


    wake up.

    Zephyr was utterly fond of her delicate facial features. She looks gorgeous even without makeup.


    He brushed the hair that was covering Johanna''s face aside with his fingers, gave her a kiss on the


    lips, and smiled faintly. “I need to go to the office to do some work. You''re free to do what you want for


    the entire day.”


    “But I want you to keep mepany.” Johanna pouted.


    “Do you mean what you said?” Zephyr asked. “If you do, I''ll stay here and send someone else to the


    office instead.”


    Johanna leaned forward and buried her head in his arms.


    Three minutester, she released the man and curled up in the nket while exposing only her silky,


    smooth dark hair.


    Zephyr chuckled as he was amused. He then got up and went to the bathroom to freshen up.


    When Zephyr came out from the walk-in closet after he had suited up, Johanna had gotten out of bed.


    She was wearing a thin ink-gray nightgown, with love bites dotting her corbones.


    After yawning, she noticed the necktie in his hands. She asked, seemingly interested, “I can help you


    with it.”


    Zephyr walked over and gave her the striped necktie.


    The man was so tall that Johanna had to straighten her back even when she was kneeling on the bed.


    She then wrapped the tie over his neck, lowered her head, and focused on tying the knot.
