Chapter 701

Zachary simply grinned, disregarding Lulu's wrath.

'Even if you do, I would own up to it because I deserve that much. I've even written my will to ensure that you won't

be punished."

Lulu snorted coldly. "Save your cheap theatrics."

Zachary did not mind that at all. "Whatever you say."

He was being thick-skinned, and he could not care less about what Lulu said or thought about him.

After all, he knew very well that Lulu's impression was long since tarnished, and he would just lose her if he still

cared about his image now.

This time, he would not lose her-he would keep her firmly within his grasp no matter the cost.

However, Lulu only felt irritation from seeing his face, and she started to head out.

Zachary followed her. "Where are you going?"

Giving him a look, she replied, "I need a job."

"I can give you money, or arrange for a position at my company. How does becoming my personal assistant or

secretary sound?"

He was smiling, but he was dead serious-he would never allow Lulu to get a job anywhere else.

Lulu frowned, left speechless since he obviously wanted to keep her confined at all times.

It was outrageous, and she would never play along or he would only get more demanding!

'What if I insist on working?" she said staunchly, clearly not going to budge!

Zachary appeared taken aback, but he did not dare to push her too far. ’ You can work-"

"Not a job you provide either, or I'll take you down with me."

Zachary was silent for a long while. "How, exactly? And even if you don't care, think about Barbara and her

husband. I won't spare them if you hurt yourself-’

Smack!

Lulu had slapped him across the face in her fury, leaving a clear palm print on his cheek.

Zachary was unperturbed, however. "It doesn't hurt. I deserve it anyway even if it does!"

With those words, he reached out to take her into his arms.

Lulu pushed him away right then, thinking him as crazy as he was a deviant.

"Don't touch me. You disgust me."

Zachary could take her discontent, but her disdain for him still stung.

He hung his head. "Do I disgust you that much?"

'Yes,' she replied mercilessly.

Zachary held her gaze for a couple heartbeats and turned to leave.

Lulu thought nothing of it, however, since she could not wait for her to leave sooner for the sake of her own

freedom.

Zachary did not go to his office. Not wanting to work but having no place to go, he had to think long and hard

before deciding to go to James.

He needed someone to complain to, but James did not have time for him.

"Are you really that free? Don't you need to manage your company?"

"I'm stressed,' Zachary said, appearing haggard.

James simply leveled a cool look at him, wondering if he was stressed.

Could he really be as stressed as Isaac?

"I think Lulu really hates me..." Zachary murmured.

He was actually at a loss of what to do, because she was drifting away from him whatever he did.

Did she really have no feelings for him at all?

"That's good," James replied. "She'd be crazy if she's still willing to be nice to you."

Zachary frowned. "Aren't you my friend?"

Why was James not taking his side?

He came to get some comfort, only to find sarcasm, leaving him even more miserable.

James simply said seriously, "You'd better leave right now, too. I have already been nice enough."

Zachary was speechless, but he could not-he needed someone to talk to or he would get depressed!

Tugging at James's sleeve, he asked, "Are you really that busy? You're not the employee in this building, aren't you?

Come one, just keep me company n

Meanwhile, someone behind a corner had overheard their conversation in its entirety.

He shot Zachary an icy glare and turned to leave at the next instant!
