The Runaway Groom

Still keeping her back to the camera, Lulu said, "My button was loose, and you saw it without saying a word. Is that respect?" Zachary reclined against his seat, perhaps exhausted from work as he rubbed his temples.

Still, he said, "But I saw nothing... Or was there something I was supposed to see?"

He did not mean it.

Moreover, he was a normal, physically healthy man, and she was the woman he loved-he certainly had some funny ideas!

Something would be wrong with him if he was unmoved!

Lulu bit her lip to repress her displeasure for Star's sake-she just had to be more careful from now on.

As she still kept her back to the camera, Zachary got upset and said, "You're working for me. What's the issue with doing as I tell you?"

Lulu was speechless-she certainly was being paid as a babysitter and should respect her employer's request.

In fact, why was she so repulsed, as if she could not take even a minor offense?

Holding tightly onto Star, she slowly turned around, keeping her head down and refusing to meet Zachary's eyes.

Zachary stared at her without missing a beat, intent on her making her respond.
