Right now just so happened to be the time for the employees to clock off. Therefore, they were met with the sight of a greasy and fat middle-aged man slowly walking out of the building with a smile on his face.

Elspeth got out of the car with her bag in hand. She walked forward while faking that she was about to make a phone call. Then, she suddenly bumped into Zain by accident due to her negligence. The momentum caused her to lose her balance and sprawl to the ground. To make matters worse, the screen of her phone shattered upon impact.

“Hiss…” She pretended to be in great pain as she looked up with tears in her eyes. “I’m sorry. I was looking at my phone just now, so I wasn’t looking at the road.”

Zain initially planned to fly into a great rage, but his anger dissipated completely when he realized that the person who bumped into him was a beautiful and delicate woman.

“It’s nothing. Are you alright? Here, let me help you up.”

He stretched out his hand to help her up. However, she stood up on her own with an apologetic look. She patted the dust from her body and began blabbering in embarrassment. “How can I trouble you? It’s my fault that I fell down in the first place. But my phone…”

She glanced at her phone on the ground, feeling a dull pang in her chest.

The lecherous man had been trying to come up with a reason to ask her out. So, when he saw the phone lying on the ground, his heart leaped with joy. “It’s fine. I’ll buy you a new one to replace this. But, Miss, how should I address you?”

She laughed softly. “I am Abigail Joneson. What about you?”

He found her smile absolutely breathtaking. “I am Zain Black, the financial director of the Alphascape Group.”

A plan had already formed in his heart as he deliberately exposed his high-ranked status in a big company. He figured that if he revealed his identity to her, she would definitely behave like all the other women and fawn over him.

“It’s getting late, and I have something going on. Please excuse me. I have to go.” Elspeth lifted a hand to look at her watch with an anxious expression. “If it’s about my phone… I dropped it myself, so I’ll just buy a new one later. Don’t worry about it.”

It was his first time meeting a woman like her who was neither greedy for money nor vain. Not to mention, she was an absolute beauty. A mixture of complicated feelings washed over him for a moment.

If only I could make her mine… The moment I do, I will immediately divorce my plain-looking hag of a housewife and marry her instead!

“No. Half of the blame lies with me. At least let me pay for half of the costs. Otherwise, I won’t feel at ease!”
