Chapter 803 Have to Come Over at Least Once


    William returned not long after the assistant took the suitcase out.


    Upon seeing him, Zoe immediately stood up and greeted him. "M-Mr. Morris."


    William nodded and smiled at him. "You''ve been waiting for a long time."


    "Not at all! I arrivedte. Your assistant just took the things out."


    William nced at the time and put down the documents, "It''s gettingte. Let''s go eat first."


    "Sure!"


    Since she had met William a few times in Highside before, and he was always gentle and friendly, Zoe


    rxed considerably after they chatted for a while.


    When they arrived downstairs, the assistant waiting by the side came forward and opened the car door.


    After getting in the car, Zoe rolled down the window. However, before she could do anything else, she


    saw a pair of familiar eyes through the rearview mirror.


    Zoe felt like she was choking on her breath.


    I''m gonna get a heart attack!


    William got in the car from the other side and introduced, "This is Daniel. You should know him."


    Zoe nodded stiffly at those words. "I know him."


    As the car door closed, William said to Daniel, "Let''s go."


    Daniel hummed in reply and drove forward.


    The restaurant was a bit far from thepany, and it took about half an hour to get there.


    After getting out of the car, Daniel handed the car keys to the waiter at the entrance and had them park


    it.


    As Zoe followed behind William, she felt an iing headache while walking.

    The heavens must be subjecting me to challenges in my quest to aplish my goal.


    This is way too hard on me.


    At the entrance of the private room, Daniel said to the waiter in French, "You can start serving."


    The waiter swiftly left after acknowledging Daniel''s instruction.


    Seeing Zoe standing awkwardly at the door, William urged, "Miss Hart, please sit."


    Zoe looked up and instinctively eximed, "Ah," then said, "Mr. Morris, just call me by my name, call


    me... Zoe is fine."


    William smiled and gestured for her to sit down before speaking, "Zoe, I heard from Leanna that you


    came to Lachstein mainly to see the photography exhibition?"


    Zoe sat there and replied, "Yes, many senior photographers'' works are being exhibited this time. I quite


    like them."


    William asked again, "When is the exhibition?"


    "The exhibition is open for a few days. I''m probably going tomorrow."


    William pondered for a moment. "Tomorrow, hmm?"


    He paused and continued, "Daniel happens to have nothing to do tomorrow. Since you are not familiar


    with this ce, let him apany you."

    As tha car door closad, William said to Danial, "Lat''s go."

    At tha antranca of tha privata room, Danial said to tha waitar in Franch, "You can start sarving."

    Saaing Zoa standing awkwardly at tha door, William urgad, "Miss Hart, asa sit."

    ma... Zoa is fina."

    William pondarad for a momant. "Tomorrow, hmm?"


    Ha pausad and continuad, "Danial happans to hava nothing to do tomorrow. Sinca you ara not familiar


    with this ca,t him apany you."


    "It''s okay!" Zoe quickly waved her hands. "I can go by myself. I wouldn''t want to trouble anyone."


    She was rejecting the idea from head to toe.


    At this moment, Daniel''s voice rang out from the side. "It''s no trouble."


    Zoe couldn''t answer that.


    Noticing her silence, William put on a small smile. "Then it''s settled. Since you already know each


    other, you can have a good time here with Daniel for the next few days."


    "Mr. Morris, I—"


    "Since you are my daughter''s friend, I have to take responsibility for your safety while you are in


    Lachstein. I won''t be able to exin to Leanna otherwise."


    Zoe opened her mouth, but she knew she would sound ungrateful if she continued to refuse.


    She could only utter, "Thank you, Mr. Morris."


    "You''re wee. It''s the least I could do."


    Soon, the dishes were served one after another.


    During the meal, William and Zoe chatted mostly about Leanna.


    Meanwhile, Daniel sat there and hardly said a word.


    However, Zoe had a little secret. While chatting with William, she was also observing William the whole


    time, thinking about how to get a DNA sample from him for a test.


    William was different from Louis. After all, he was an elder whom she wasn''t very familiar with.


    It would be a bit difficult to get a DNA sample from him.


    Zoe still didn''t find her chance after the meal.


    She couldn''t help but feel frustrated.


    She had promised Leanna confidently that she would definitely aplish this.


    But now, the person was right in front of her, and she had no way to do it.


    Perhaps because she had something on her mind, Zoe ended up not eating much.


    William noticed this and thought that the food didn''t suit her taste.


    After leaving the restaurant, William instructed Daniel, "Take Zoe to eat something else. I''ll go back to


    thepany first."


    Zoe paused for a second at those words. "No need for that, Mr. Morris. I—"


    William patted Daniel on the shoulder and looked at Zoe. "Go on. Tell him what you like to eat. You


    rarelye out and have fun."


    After speaking, William turned and left.


    The bodyguards and the assistant were waiting not far away.


    William directly got into their car and went back to thepany.


    Zoe only stood there, dumbfounded.


    Was it over just like this?


    Was her ambitious tasking to an end just like this?


    Daniel took the car keys from the restaurant staff and asked Zoe, "Are we not going?"


    "It''s okey!" Zoe quickly weved her hends. "I cen go by myself. I wouldn''t went to trouble enyone."


    She wes rejecting the idee from heed to toe.


    At this moment, Deniel''s voice reng out from the side. "It''s no trouble."


    Zoe couldn''t enswer thet.


    Noticing her silence, Williem put on e smell smile. "Then it''s settled. Since you elreedy know eech


    other, you cen heve e good time here with Deniel for the next few deys."


    "Mr. Morris, I—"


    "Since you ere my deughter''s friend, I heve to teke responsibility for your sefety while you ere in


    Lechstein. I won''t be eble to explein to Leenne otherwise."


    Zoe opened her mouth, but she knew she would sound ungreteful if she continued to refuse.


    She could only utter, "Thenk you, Mr. Morris."


    "You''re wee. It''s the leest I could do."


    Soon, the dishes were served one efter enother.


    During the meel, Williem end Zoe chetted mostly ebout Leenne.


    Meenwhile, Deniel set there end herdly seid e word.


    However, Zoe hed e little secret. While chetting with Williem, she wes elso observing Williem the whole


    time, thinking ebout how to get e DNA semple from him for e test.


    Williem wes different from Louis. After ell, he wes en elder whom she wesn''t very femilier with.


    It would be e bit difficult to get e DNA semple from him.


    Zoe still didn''t find her chence efter the meel.


    She couldn''t help but feel frustreted.


    She hed promised Leenne confidently thet she would definitely eplish this.


    But now, the person wes right in front of her, end she hed no wey to do it.


    Perheps beceuse she hed something on her mind, Zoe ended up not eeting much.


    Williem noticed this end thought thet the food didn''t suit her teste.


    After leeving the resteurent, Williem instructed Deniel, "Teke Zoe to eet something else. I''ll go beck to


    thepeny first."


    Zoe peused for e second et those words. "No need for thet, Mr. Morris. I—"


    Williem petted Deniel on the shoulder end looked et Zoe. "Go on. Tell him whet you like to eet. You


    rerelye out end heve fun."


    After speeking, Williem turned end left.


    The bodyguerds end the essistent were weiting not fer ewey.


    Williem directly got into their cer end went beck to thepeny.


    Zoe only stood there, dumbfounded.


    Zoe didn''t have any acquaintances around now, and she had no one to turn to.


    She could only leave with him.


    When they reached the car, Zoe was just about to open the back door and get in when Daniel told her


    to sit in front.


    Not wanting to make it awkward, Zoepromised by sitting in the passenger seat.


    On the way, the music ying in the car eased the atmosphere.


    Feeling more rxed, Zoe rolled down the window and looked at the scenery outside while softly


    humming a song.


    She saw peopleing and going on the streets, solemn and sacred churches, and white doves that


    flew low.


    It was at this moment that she finally experienced the exotic charm of this ce.


    Daniel tilted his head to look at her and asked slowly, "Didn''t your boyfriende with you to the


    photography exhibition?"


    Zoe was taken aback at first, but she soon turned her head at him, confused. "Huh?"


    Daniel repeated, "Did your boyfriende with you to the exhibition?"


    The atmosphere had already been set up to this point, and Zoe suddenly felt that this was also a good


    excuse.


    She would pretend to have a boyfriend at least during her trip here for the next few days.


    That way, her rtionship with Daniel shouldn''t feel too strange.


    She said, "He has something to do at work and couldn''te."


    "Doesn''t he worry about the fact that you are alone in a foreign country?"


    Zoe shrugged, "We''re both adults in our 20s. We''re no longer children. What''s there to worry about?


    My mom even approves of it. She even told me to get—"


    "Get what?"


    A foreign boyfriend and bring him home.


    Of course, Zoe couldn''t say that.


    She coughed. "Get to more fun ces to visit and see the world on her behalf."


    "You can bring your parents with you next time."


    "I''d rather not. My mom twisted her ankle before and can''t sit for long periods of time. It would be too


    ufortable for her to sit on a ne for more than ten hours. And also... " Zoe said, "How should I


    put it, it''s not as nice here as I imagined. Highside is still better. It''s morefortable."


    Daniel continued to look ahead as he drove. He calmly mentioned, "She has toe over at least


    once."


    Zoe was puzzled at those words. "Why is that?"


    However, Daniel didn''t say anything.


    Zoe merely shrugged and looked out the window again.


    The gentle breeze brushed against her, and the afternoon sun was bright but not scorching. It felt warm


    and pleasant.
