Nancy lamented, “Yesterday, you clearly knew John and Mance were going to poison me! They forced me to drink so that the poison would take effect. Why didn’t you try to stop that from happening?”

Zeke’s face instantly clouded over as he replied, “Nancy, that’s such a cold-hearted thing to say. I tried to stop them at least four to five times yesterday.”

However, Nancy remained adamant, “Why didn’t you try harder then? Perhaps I wouldn’t be in this state if you did.”

Zeke was instantly lost for words.

Sigh, why was I so foolish? Why did I think I could reason with a woman?

I just dug a hole for myself!

Ignoring Zeke, Nancy turned to her cousin and said, “Lacey, my hero said he will meet me in seven days.”

“What do you think I should wear then? Should I put on light or heavy makeup? Should I eat before I meet him?”

As the subject was being brought up, Lacey rubbed on her temples and suggested, “Nancy, have you thought about it clearly? Perhaps your hero is the General of the North.”

“Ah,” Nancy took a deep breath in surprise.

“What makes you say that Lacey?” She asked.

“Well, your hero works at the Provincial Military District, doesn’t he? The General of the North was also recently assigned to that district,” She explained.

“Furthermore, Mance said that his company will be holding a launch party in seven days and would invite him. Didn’t your hero say he will meet you in seven days’ time?”

“That’s why I’m guessing your hero is most likely General North. Perhaps he’s going to meet you at the launch party.”

“Hmm,” Nancy inhaled sharply. “That’s very possible,” She agreed.

Lacey sighed. “Well, our company is going to hold a celebration for going public in seven days too. It clashes with the launch party.”

“We can’t even change the timing of our event now that Nutel Entertainment and Sharon Edward have already published the news. Everybody knows about the celebration. Mance has General North as their VIP, but we have no important figures attending our celebration. I’m sure that all the limelight will be on their company instead! This is really frustrating, what do I do?”

Nancy’s thoughts pondered for a moment. Finally, she gritted her teeth and assured, “Lacey, don’t worry. I’m not one to give up on my friends for men! I promise I will not go to Mance’s launch party just to meet with my hero. If he wishes to see me, he has to come to your celebration instead.”

Zeke suddenly chimed in, “Don’t worry about it. Mance will never be able to invite General North.”

The two women looked at him suspiciously and remarked, “Why are you so sure of that?”

Zeke explained, “Well, it’s very simple.”

“He got into a fight when he saved Nancy yesterday. Obviously, they would be enemies now. So, if the hero were indeed General North, why would he attend the launch party organized by his rival!”
