Chapter 204 Has He Ever Been So Clingy

Eileen flashed a casual smile. “I’m fine. Do you need something from me?”

Sneaking a glance around, Natalie leaned in close to Eileen’s ear and whispered, “Elm has returned toClass Six, and Calliope has gone. with him.”

Upon hearing the news, Eileen remained impassive. “There’s no need to tell me about his affairs. I’mgoing to the restroom.”

“What’s the point of looking into this? No matter how much you dig, the answer remains the same.”Zachary slid the yellow file folder across the table to the man sitting opposite him.

Zachary looked at his gloomy face. The more he acted like this, the more maliciously happy. hebecame.

There was a saying-one’s happiness should never be built on another’s pain.

This was exactly what Zachary meant.

He wrapped his arm around the seductive woman next to him, crossing his legs. “This document hasbeen checked over and over again, a dozen times, exactly as you requested. It’s always the same. Ifyou don’t believe me, how about… I send you the video I recorded?”

The man silently picked up the file bag and stood up. His gloomy gaze casually swept over him. “You’dbetter keep your mouth shut.”

“Don’t worry. I assure you it’s foolproof.”

“Eric! Be careful. Don’t get yourself involved.”

After Eric left, the woman beside him snuggled up to the man sweetly. “Darling, what did you give him?”

Zachary leaned toward the woman’s ear, his warm breath whispering two words, “A secret!” His

gaze then shifted toward the woman emerging from the private room across.

However, she also spotted him. The woman’s expression changed dramatically. She whisperedsomething to the person next to her and then headed for the restroom.

Zachary left the people around him, put one hand in his pocket, and walked away.

“Where are you going. Darling?”

Zachary chose not to pay any attention.

Cynthia had been in the women’s restroom for quite a while. The last time, someone had drugged her,and she had inexplicably ended up being intimate with him.

It was not allowed due to their identities.

Also… she was also his sister-in-law.

How could it possibly be allowed between them…

Half an hour had passed. Cynthia glanced at her reflection in the mirror, thinking that he had alreadyleft. As she calmly walked out of the restroom, she suddenly saw a man leaning against the exit as if hewas waiting for her.

Cynthia, frightened, was about to run away when the man quickly grabbed her and pulled her into theopposite fire escape corridor.

He pressed her hands against the wall and leaned down to kiss her neck.

Cynthia was completely immobilized. “No… You can’t do this. Zack, you’ve gone too far.”

Zachary paused, planting an intimate kiss on her face. “That night, do you remember how much

you clung to me? You just couldn’t get enough! Cynthia… has my elder brother ever experienced youbeing this clingy?”

“Ah! I forgot! He doesn’t even bother to glance at you. That day… it was your first time! What a pity hecan’t experience your enchanting charm.”

Cynthia pulled her hand away, forcefully slapping him across the face. “Shut up.” Thinking back to thatnight, Cynthia was filled with regret. It was a moment of impulsiveness that led to a huge mistake. Sheshouldn’t have drunk that glass of wine, then none of this would have happened.

She and this brother-in-law of hers had absolutely no interaction in the Xenos residence. He wasinherently flirtatious and never came home.

Even when it came to speaking, she hadn’t uttered more than three sentences in the year since shemarried into the Xenos family.

The number of times they met was incredibly few. The first time was at the wedding, and the second…was when she woke up next to him.

“I don’t want to bring up what happened that day again. Zachary, I hope you remember that even ifwe…” She was too embarrassed to finish her sentence, hoping he would understand. “It you don’t wantto keep making the same mistakes, it’s best to stop here! If you dare to bother me again, I won’t let youoff easily.”

“Alright then, I’m curious to see, how exactly do you plan on not letting me oll? Are you

going to bite or hold me back to keep me from leaving? Hmm?”

A blush swept over Cynthia’s face, and she bit her lip. “Zachary!”

“Cynthia, do you want more?”

Cynthia had always been a soft-spoken person in the Xenos family, never retaliating when. scolded byher in-laws. But this time, she couldn’t hold back her anger anymore. The bag in her hand was throwndirectly at him, and her high-heeled foot stomped hard on the top of

his foot.

Zachary hissed, and his brows furrowed tightly.

Cynthia, her pretty face flushed with embarrassment, grabbed her bag and ran off without looking back,deeply afraid that the person behind her might catch up again.

Sitting in the car, she opened the mirror, looking at the marks on her neck. Her delicate. eyebrowsfurrowed. She took out her foundation, using it to cover these shameful red traces.

That previous night, Cynthia was in a terrible state. Hardly a part of her was alright. She even liedabout going out of town for medical treatment and didn’t return for seven or eight days.

She had an affair with her brother-in-law, a thought she dared not entertain. What will happen if theyreplace out?

We can’t go on like this.

Let’s wait for the right time to completely resolve this matter.

Caerulus Corporation.

CEO’s Office.

Gavin knocked on the door and walked into the office to deliver some documents. He didn’t see Eric inthe office, but his gaze unintentionally fell upon a certain document.

DNA test.

Who is Mr. Snow planning to do a blood relation test with?

“What are you looking at?” Eric’s icy voice emerged from the lounge as he wiped the water stains offhis hands with a tissue.

“Nothing” Gavin quickly averted his gaze. “Mr. Snow, these are the meeting documents organizedtoday, and there are a few projects that need your signature.

Eric responded, “Hmm, understood

After Gavin left the office. Eric retrieved the report, walked over to the shredder, and reduced it tofragments.

In that moment, her words echoed in his ears. “He’s completely honest with me. At least he neverpressures me! Eric, you can never compare to him!”

Eric had never felt as frustrated as he did now, his mind a jumbled mess.

At eight in the evening. Eric answered the phone and prepared to leave the office.

Gavin stood just outside the door, matching his pace with Eric as they headed towards the elevator.“Mr. Snow, we’re under close surveillance right now. If you step in, it will give us away. I can handle thissituation. The company can’t afford to lose you.”

Eric pressed the elevator button to go down. “Not leaving work?”

Gavin pursed his lips. “Mr. Snow…”

“That’s enough.” Eric interrupted. “It’s not your place to tell me what to do. If you want to follow, thenfollow.”

Primas Plaza.

Luxury private room.

In Caerulus Corporation’s planning department, a few employees who had been drinking were allunconscious. Chandler, with a smug smile, placed his hand on an intern’s thigh “Missy, can’t youhandle it anymore? I haven’t even finished my drinks yet. If you can please me with drinks tonight, wecan easily discuss the contract signing.”

“Why do you have to make things difficult for an intern. Mr. Hackett?”

Upon seeing the newcomer, an employee from Caerulus Corporation immediately stood up

to offer them a seat. “Mr. Snow.”

With a nod from Eric, someone promptly brought over a set of plates and cutlery
