012 Replacement

Zack heard the harsh words of warning again.

"If not, think about it! Don't get in my way and make me late!" said Aimee curtly.

And it was the right decision if Zack wasn't provoked by Aimee's character.

Zack blocked Aimee's steps deliberately.

"I want to meet your boss!" said Zack very loud and calm.

Wanted to show how unaffected he would be even if he was reunited with his ex-wife.

Aimee turned quickly. Staring at Zack in surprise and not understanding.

Aimee's stupid face tickled Zack. And it was always able to make him laugh after seeing that stupid face painted on Aimee's round face.

Zack repeated his words.

"I want to meet your boss! Talking about business and I didn't mean to meet you."

Misunderstanding must be prevented. But, is it true that Aimee doesn't know what Zack's purpose of coming to her office is?

Her position is a secretary. But Aimee doesn't know the schedule and brief bio of Alfin's business partner? Even just a name, Aimee doesn't know??!

Stared at doubtful and found no mismatch. As well as dropping Zack's high perception of Aimee.

Could Aimee be working as a fake secretary? Then she didn't fully repay Alfin's trust in her?

So because of that, Aimee casually asked Doren to take her place?

Shaking in disbelief. Zack added his statement.

"Then, I'm unpleased to meet you either. And I hope this project of mine has nothing to do with you!"

Zack had a bad feeling.

Just like Aimee who felt her world crumble.

Even though he knew Aimee must be involved in the project. Zack stick around to say it, even though his prayers and hopes were impossible to come true.

Zack let Aimee go and approached Lisa who was still waiting for him.

"What is it, sir? Is there any problem?" Lisa asked.

So quickly read the change in Zack's expression and could guess something had happened. Zack shook his head in response to Lisa's sensitive attitude.

"I just happened to run into a bully and had an ill feeling," Zack looked around.

"Are you done?" Zack asked asking Lisa's accuracy in completing all the procedures to be a guest and colleague at Theodore's company.

Lisa nodded and answered.

"Yes. We asked to go straight up to the top floor and will be guided."

Doren came down not long after that.

Used her cheerfulness to greeting her handsome and charismatic guests. Doren turned out to get a cold stare from Lisa. However, that was not what Doren wanted to respond, because they would not meet or interact often.

Doren's job this morning was welcoming Zack. Because Aimee must have arrived late and Doren didn't have time to cross paths with Aimee.

So that, Doren didn't know that Aimee has arrived at the office and have received a stern reprimand from Alfin. Then surprisingly the man, who was lazy to go to the office, had arrived very early in the morning and grumbled in annoyance when he had not seen his beloved secretary present.

Doren became a guide.

"Follow me. And take the elevator over there."

Deliver a representative package from Empires Mad to the meeting room. Then announce his arrival to Alfin.

Doren saw Alfin rebuke Aimee just as he expected.

"Excuse me, Boss. Mr. Zack has come to see you."

Work in a personnel department. Doren stepped into their midst to help Aimee.

Always look beautiful and neat in her elegant formal dress. Doren always prefers to cut her hair short for practical reasons. Didn't ever miss an opportunity to help Aimee as best she could, even if it was a little late.

Aimee blinked a few times as she continued to hallucinate.

Zack?

Mr. Mael was Zack?

Whoa!

It was this meeting that triggered many past memories to appear in Zack and Aimee's minds.

Come with a much better and organized appearance.

Aimee's hospitality in treating her superiors so politely invited a frown to form on Zack's forehead.

Then turn out, Aimee could look down that low? And she could carry that many piles of documents without any trouble opening the door for Alfin?

Glancing and showing an uncomfortable expression.

Alfin's voice neutralized Zack's expression.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Mael." Greet Alfin cheerfully and openly.

Zack suddenly could predict what would happen in their future.

He then warmly welcomed Alfin's handshake and be polite.

"Me too, Mr. Alfin. And just like everyone else, you can call me Zavier or Zack. I rarely used the name 'Mael' in introductions. It sounds foreign, though it's part of my name."

Alfin agreed.

"No problem and fine, Mr. Zack! Welcome to join and I hope our cooperation goes well."

Zack could see Aimee's depressed expression.

Couldn't focus during meetings and kept thinking about other things.

Zack moistened his lips with some deliberation.

Was Aimee that desperate to meet Zack?

For crucial reasons, Zack also didn't want to announce their relationship with Aimee to Alfin.

Didn't in a position to give a good explanation.

Zack was also afraid of creating a new awkwardness between himself and Aimee.

Alfin's new decision shook Zack's mind which was already calmer.

Announcing to everyone that Aimee will take his place to take care of the project. But he will always keep an eye on whenever and wherever.

Zack leaned back against the back of the chair.

Couldn't understand Alfin's way of thinking and feels that Alfin underestimates a billion-dollar project.

"She's been working with me for 4 years. And during that time, she's known me and the company very well. I trust her!"

Raised one eyebrow and stared without blinking.

Does Alfin think that the success of a project can be easily realized just based on trust alone?

What nonsense was this Harry's cousin talking about?!
