Chapter 146


    The servant hastily said, “Yes. Madam left on her own with her luggage.”


    "She''s got some spirit!"


    With that, Mason went upstairs.


    When he checked the time, it wasn''t quite the waking hour. He decided to lie back down


    Zoe''s faint fragrance lingered around the bed


    That scent captivated Mason''s soul.


    He liked the way she smelled.


    She was always clean, with a hint of light shower gel. Every time they were intimate, he couldn''t help but bury himself in her silky hair from behind,


    getting as close as possible. Just thinking about it. Mason felt overwhelmed


    As he groomed and changed clothes, he pondered whether Zoe''s delicate body was too enticing or if his own desires were simply too strong. The


    more he thought about it. the more irritated he became.


    Now. she hadn''t even bothered to call.


    She seemed to be determined to give him the cold shoulder.


    At noon, Zoe arrived at Hucksburgh Airport.


    This time, David urgently asked for her help, citing some issues with the venue in Hucksburgh that needed coordination. As David was too busy, he


    requested Zoe to fly over.


    Zoe went to the venue first and had discussions with the person in charge. Once the preliminary negotiations were settled, she proceeded to check


    into the hotel.


    Zoe checked into the Hucksburg Hotel and called David to update him. "Mr. David, don''t worry. I''ve already negotiated with them, and the final result


    should be favorable.”


    David was pleased. "I knew I found the right person. Indeed, Zoe, you handle things smocthly. You''ve done me a great favor.”


    Zoe smiled faintly. "It''s just some simple matters. You don''t need to be so polite."


    They chatted for a while. After hanging up the phone, Zoe realized she was hungry. ncing at the time, it was already five in the evening.


    Outside the French window, the sunset glowed with an exceptionally beautiful crimson hue. Zoe felt her mood rxing. She grabbed her purse and


    headed to the hotel restaurant.


    Unexpectedly, she ran into someone she knew.


    It was Cecil.


    He should be here for a medical summit, apanied by several colleagues, both male and female. Engaged in conversation, they helped


    themselves to the hotel buffet.


    When Cecil saw Zoe, he was


    momentarilystunned. Then, after


    exchanging.a few words with his


    colleagués, he walked over to her


    Under-tfe crystal chandelier, he>


    gazed into her eyes and said softly,


    "Wikat a coincidence. Meeting an old


    Acquaintance in a foreigatand.”


    Zoe smiled lightly.


    She looked up at him, a hint of sadness in her eyes.


    She replied, "Indeed. It''s quite a coincidence."


    The scene was actually quite touching


    Aman in his prime and a delicately refined woman


    In their mutual gaze, there were too manyplex emotions to put into words. It was like a reunion after a long separation.


    Someone captured this moment and sent it to Mason.

    Lockwood Gtoup, Mason sat ona
