Ivan entered the private room and found Zoe sitting on the floor, tears streaming down her face. He couldn’t help but feel a little sorry for her.

But Lewis’s heart was made of stone.

Ivan extended a hand to help Zoe up. “Come on, I’ll take you home.”

Zoe used his support to stand but cried harder. “Ivan, I’m not giving up. You’ll support me, won’t you?”

“Zoe, I advise you to give up. He doesn’t like being chased. The more you push, the more he’ll resent you.” Ivan handed her a tissue.

Zoe’s eyes were red. “I’ve loved him for ten years. I don’t mind waiting longer.”

“Love isn’t about who starts first or how long it takes,” Ivan explained. “Besides, what’s so good about Lewis?

“A cold face, a sharp tongue, a stone heart–what’s there to like about him?

“You have so many good men around you. Why insist on hanging on to him?”

“I won’t let you say that about him! He’s the best in my eyes! No one can compare to him!” Zoe defended Lewis.

Ivan sighed silently.

He couldn’t understand why Zoe saw only the good in Lewis, ignoring all his flaws.

Lola took a sip of water. “Mr. Hartman, you know Mr. Mitchell, and Mr. Mitchell knows Ms. Wilkinson. But you don’t know Ms. Wilkinson?”

“Ms. Bates, he has so many clients. I can’t possibly know them all,” Lewis redirected the topic to what Lola liked. “But Ivan’s still single.”

Lola’s smile deepened as she continued drinking, hiding her inner joy.

Downstairs, Lewis asked Lola and Doris to wait while he went to settle the bill.

A few well–dressed wealthy housewives came down the stairs, passing right in front of Doris and Lola.
