Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 540 Comfort Zone

As the mask was carefully removed, a petite face emerged, smooth and flawless.

Standing before Archer was none other than Zelena, who had disappeared from the entertainment industry for several months! Archer certainly remembered Zelena.

A few years back, during a campus competition, she had greatly irritated him.

Zelena had gone so far as to hire four people specifically to target Archer in order to catch his attention. Archer had been furious that day.

He didn't do anything because he was a gentleman. Had Zelena been a man, he would have ensured she faced severe consequences. He had a deep impression of Zelena.

Although they hadn't been in touch since, Archer was aware that Zelena had later made a name for herself as a star.

Running into her here was quite unexpected.

Zelena gestured toward the store behind her. "This is my side business. What do you think?"

Archer smirked slightly. "You? Do you even know how to bowl?"

Zelena's lips curled into a playful smile, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "How about we have a game after the ribbon-cutting?" Archer replied, "Not interested."

His presence at the opening was more out of respect for the bowling club's general manager.
