44 They will break up, anyway.

Enzo Li arrived minutes before Zoey and Matthew Xi's arrival at Z Image Group main headquarters. Trying to reach Zoey's phone but to no avail it was turned off.

"That woman...!" He grumbled, grinding his teeth in annoyance. "She's truly gone mad!" He added out of frustration.

Just as he was spouting nonsense, he caught Zoey's vehicle enter the parking space before it stopped. "There she is! Just you wait, Zoey Zhou!" Enzo Li was about to hitch outside and berate her for all the crap she was doing.

However, as soon as the car stopped, the lights inside turned on, giving Enzo Li the vague view of two people inside. Hence, Enzo Li instinctively halt his plans and watched the two inside.

"What — what are they doing?" Stuttering, Enzo Li witnessed the man in the driver's seat leaned to the front passenger seat. From the angle he was in, he could barely see what they were exactly doing.

All Enzo Li could do was assume; assume what a man and a woman doing inside the car alone. Of course, what could it be? They were probably kissing or making out!

Holy mama Mary!

"My eyes!" As if he saw something immoral, Enzo Li covered his eyes in disdain. The next second, he clenched his teeth and unbuckled his seat. Alas, that very second, he realized his over reaction.

Why was he so mad about? Zoey was practically a 29-year-old woman. Some women at her age were already married. So, was it so not out of the ordinary if Zoey did adult things?

Moreover, who was he to her? He was just someone who knows a bit of her. Thus, what rights does he have to stop her craziness? None.

That realization made Enzo Li calmed down a little, but something within... it upset him. He should really mind his own business and stop pestering Zoey just because he was miserable in his love life.

"They will break up, anyway." Enzo Li whispered, heaving a deep exhale as he leaned his back against the driver's seat. He then shut his eyes close before reopening them again to watch the car.

"You might wake up as a married man if that happens." Zoey teased before she closed the door, not giving him the chance to argue.

As soon as she left the car, she caught the glimpse of the other car silently parked on the corner. Yet, Zoey still headed inside.

While she was on the way inside the premises, she turned to her car where Matthew Xi was inside. Waving her hand to the departing vehicle, it took several seconds before Matthew Xi started the car and began moving.

She watched him slowly leave, and knowing he might look at her through the rear mirror, Zoey skipped her way inside. However, two minutes later, Zoey came back to the parking space.

Making sure Matthew Xi left, Zoey trudge towards the other vehicle. Without further ado, Zoey knocked on the mirror of the driver's seat.

Enzo Li slightly jolted by the loud knocks before he slowly shifted his gaze to the direction. Seeing that Zoey was standing outside, he scrunched his nose up and scoff before rolling down the window.

"Zoey Zhou, you should stop playing with men's heart — karma is a witch." As soon as the window rolled down, Enzo Li spat in all seriousness.

"When did I play with anyone's feelings?" Feigning innocence, Zoey blinked her eyes many times before she leaned on the side of the car.

"Come out. What are you doing here?" Zoey patted the vehicle's side, inviting him out and have a chat. After all, Enzo Li wouldn't see her if he didn't need anyone to talk to.

"Aist," Enzo Li clicked his tongue and stared at her indifferent figure leaning outside. Despite his annoyance, Enzo Li still hitched outside the car.

"What am I doing here? I'm giving you a heads up about that Richard Sun because you're not listening to me." Fortunately, Enzo Li was quick-witted, and that thought for an excuse why he was there.

"Ahh..." Nodding her head in understanding, Zoey recalled that Enzo Li was saying something about that guy on the phone earlier.

"Don't 'ahh' me, Zoey Zhou. I have a gut feeling he will cause trouble — the unconventional kind of trouble than before." Casting Zoey a side glance, Enzo Li scoffed and was displeased at her nonchalance.

"That freak always cause trouble." Zoey shrugged her shoulders and said in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Zoey..."

"Are you worried about me?" Sensing his somehow unusual nagging, Zoey arched her brow.

"No way! I just don't like that guy — he's too full of himself!" Without batting an eye, Enzo Li denied. Fortunately, Zoey didn't probe on it and nodded in agreement.

"I'll get rid of him. I can't implicate my super handsome darling with it." Zoey glanced at Enzo Li's side profile and slapped his chest by the back of her hand. With that said note, Zoey straightened her position and began walking back inside her home.

"Thanks, anyway." Without glancing back at him, Zoey waved her hand as she headed back.

"Don't want to implicate my darling — as if." Repeating Zoey's words, a faint scoff escaped his lips before he entered his car and left.
