Chapter 253 Unworthy Of You

A miss in a relationship was as good as a mile.

Just a few hours ago, she had tacitly agreed to be his plus one, accompanying him to the team building event of his company.

However, when Lysander saw him again a few hours later, she just felt contempt.

Zachary was still in the same attire, a long light tan coat, a white, high-collar sweater underneath, and a grey and white checkered scarf, looking very down-to-earth and gentle.

It was a completely different image of the man who coldly watched with a glint of greed in his eyes as a drunkard harassed her.

“Zachary,” she called out.

“Hmm?” Zachary responded, then sighed before removing his scarf, and gently wrapping it around her neck. “You’re always selflessly caring for others. You’ve been like that since you were a child. How can you dress so lightly in such cold weather?”

The scarf’s quality is good, and the material is also nice. It feels warm and won’t irritate the skin, just like the persona he set for himself.

“It’s already so late. Yet, you specifically went and got a roasted potato?”

Zachary smiled. “I bought it because you like it. Come on, let’s get in the car first. It’s really cold out here.”

Lysander didn’t move. Instead, she just stared at him steadily.

Zachary touched his face and smiled. “What’s wrong? Is there something on my face?”

Lysander withdrew her gaze. “It’s nothing.”

Zachary opened the passenger door for her, and she got in,

He started the car, leisurely driving toward her house. “It drizzled a bit just now, so it’s slippery.”

“Drive slowly then.”

Zachary grunted in agreement and glanced at the roasted potato in her hand. “Why aren’t you eating?”

“I’m not hungry.”

Zachary sighed deeply, his voice low. “Were you frightened by what happened today? Lysander, I feel guilty that I couldn’t protect you today. Are you angry at me?”

Lysander looked at him. “Should I be?”

it look like I’m shirking responsibility. Just consider me a coward who can’t even protect my own girlfriend. It’s only right that you don’t eat my potato.

Lysander turned her head to look out the window and snorted.

“Why are you laughing?” Zachary’s tone turned gleeful. “Do I sound silly?”

Lysander’s smile grew even wider, but the smile didn’t reach her eyes. “Are you silly? You’re not silly at all. You don’t have any connections, yet you managed to get into an architectural design company on your own. You even earned Mr. Reyes’ respect, so how could you be silly?”

Zachary chuckled. “My mom often says I’m a bookworm, only knowing how to bury myself in books, and clueless about social norms. As for Mr. Reyes, I guess it might be due to my diligence over the past few years. Everyone in state-owned enterprises has some background or connections, but I have none, so I end up with all the work. Mr. Reyes probably thinks I’m honest, hardworking, and much more useful than those nepotists.”

“Indeed, Mr. Reyes has a great eye.”

“Well, it’s not really about his ability to discern talent. Mr. Reyes, after all, is a leader and a businessman. Letting me handle the projects will maximize his benefits.”

Lysander nodded slightly. “It’s okay, I don’t blame you for what happened today.”

“Really?” Zachary looked pleasantly surprised. “That’s great. I thought you would think I’m useless, and be disappointed in me. After all, your previous husband was Mr. Guerra, and he was outstanding, so I often feel inferior, thinking you’re out of my league.”

“Zachary,” Lysander interrupted. “Can I ask you a question?”
