As Zinnia slowly woke up, she heard Yannis shouting angrily, “Toby, who gave you the guts to hide this from

me?”

Zinnia’s body shook a little because she was scared. When she opened her eyes, she saw Yannis standing outside the office. His face was cold and serious, and his sharp eyes looked ruthless.
