Xanthos Group was planning for an ambitious large-scale film production. Once Loretta got wind of that development, she diligently ascertained that Zachary was scheduled to dine at the hotel and promptly seized the opportunity to meet him.

Since Rosalie wouldn’t come to plead with Zachary, then it was up to her!

When he heard the word “sister” from her lips, Zachary experienced a momentary pause. Recollections of the recent episode at the club, wherein he had encountered Rosalie, resurfaced in his thoughts.
