Surprising Zach 2
He had sent this message from the moment he left his office and now he was home, she had not responded. He wanted to believe he had just thrown her off with his confession and not because she decided to ghost him. His heart had not calmed down one bit throughout the whole way.
"Zach, you're back!" Victoria rushed to him.
Odd. It wasn't his butler welcoming him. He sidestepped her and made to go into the house when she stood in his way with her arms stretched out He arched his brow at her and she gave him a sheepish smile.
"How was the trip? Tell your mother about it. I want to know everything", she spoke hurriedly and her smile widened.
Zach nodded. "Good! Let's talk inside."
"NO!" She shouted. Zach gave her a scruitinizing gaze like he could see through her. She awkwardly cleared her throat and spoke calmly. "I mean, let's talk out here; there's fresh air."
