“Ts a little odd that Simon sent Vette an admission recommendation letter. She just got back, and if we start asking too many questions, shell annoyed. Let’s give it some time. Anyway, It’s a good thing,” said Zachary,

For Nellie, however, it felt of She just couldn’t wrap her mirul around it, and that frustrated her

Besides, Zachary hadn’t been back home for over two weeks before Yvette returned. Nellie knew he had been seeing that new secretary at his company. She had checked her out, and there were definitely echoes of Lilian in that woman.

Zachary had even bought the secretary a house close to his office and hired her as a bodyguard. Nellie’s people hadn’t had a chance to act yet. If Yvette hadn’t come back. Zachary would probably still be tangled up with that secretary.

Honey, please stay tonight. You haven’t been home in ages Nellie said with a sweet voice: She was indeed a beauty who had a ton of admirers back in the day. But she was always stubborn. Once she get her sights on Zachary, she would do anything to keep him—even if it meant playing dirty.

I’m a little unsure about a few things and could use your input. What if we combined it with Yvette’s welcome home party? That would be a double celebration, right?”

Zachary thought it over for a moment and nodded. “Sure, just remember to invite Simon. Do what you think is best. I trust you to handle it.”

Nellie watched the impatience and anxiety on Zachary’s face, feeling a mix of bitterness and jealousy. She knew he was heading off to the secretary.
