“Novo Tech is still under your father’s control for now. Can’t you just go along with him? Once he retires and you have full ownership, you can do whatever you want.”
“Listen to your mother, don’t go against him. Today I heard him tell your uncle that he regrets not having more children when he was young.”
Wilfred tapped the ash into the tray and said indifferently.
“There’s no medicine for regret. He won’t give Novo Tech to my cousin.”
Yvonne raised her voice, “How do you know he won’t?!”
“That Ethan Hayden kid even tried to please your dad today by gifting him a massage chair and a top–grade agate bracelet. His wolfish intentions are obvious.”
“Fred, Novo Tech only grew and prospered after you married Josephine. You don’t want to just hand it over to Ethan, do you? Even if you were willing, I wouldn’t be!”
“And the daughter of the Flynn family is a lady from a prestigious family, highly educated, well- mannered, and doesn’t care that you’ve been married and have a child. After the engagement, the Flynn family is even willing to invest in Novo Tech, which will help you gain control. What more could
you ask for?”
“Get yourself together and hurry to Orchid Restaurant, or I’ll fire Eugene.”
Standing by, always on call, Eugene felt even more flustered inside.
In the next life, he’d rather slaughter pigs than be someone’s secretary again…
It was half past six in the evening.
Zachery and Natalia arrived at Orchid Restaurant first.
But they weren’t in a hurry to go in.
Josephine messaged to say she’d need another half hour.

Josephine wanted to wear them today, so she had to make some quick alterations, which delayed.
her a bit.
It was rush hour, and no matter which restaurant you went to, parking would be tight.
Josephine was fretting about where to park her car.
She saw Zachery, bathed in the sunset, standing inside the farthest parking line, waving at her.
A golden glow enveloped him.
Patricia looked at Josephine and teased with a smile:
“Dr. Maynard is so thoughtful, saving you a parking spot in advance. As a teacher, doing this could get him scolded, you know.”
Josephine turned the steering wheel and drove the car in.
She nodded calmly and said, “It really isn’t ethical.”
But her heart felt a little sweeter because of it.
She hoped that today’s little misdeed would be blamed on her, and not on Zachery by the
heavens…
Josephine rolled down the window and gave Zachery a bright smile.
“Dr. Maynard, that was very thoughtful of you, but let’s not make a habit of it.”
Zachery pretended to be annoyed and glared at Josephine: “And who did I do it for?!”
Josephine couldn’t help but let out a soft laugh.
Zachery was delighted by Josephine’s lively reaction, and a gentle smile spread from his eyes to
his brows.
Natalia got out of the car, told her mother to wait for Josephine to park, and immediately ran into her arms.
After getting out of the car, Patricia apologized to Zachery:
“Sorry to keep you waiting, Dr. Maynard. The clothes I made for Josie needed some adjustments, so we were late.”
Zachery’s gaze lingered on Josephine for two seconds before he absentmindedly replied to Patricia:
