Zina was slowly eating her pasta. A call came through to Edward’s phone. He placed a glass of water beside Zina before picking up.

He didn’t avoid Zina either. He turned on the speakerphone. In a gentle voice, Edward said, “Hello”

Toby said, “Mr. Hanover, Mr. Perkins would like to invite you to a meal. When would be convenient for you?”

Edward said, “Certainly. I’m a bit busy these days. Would next week suit?”

Toby replied, “That’s perfect. See you then.”

“Okay,” Edward murmured.

As the call ended, Zina caught an icy, emotionless voice from the other end. Someone was probably reporting

Hearing that brief male voice, Zina frowned slightly. At that voice, a sudden flash of memory jolted her, and even a sharp pang shot through her chest.

Edward noticed and asked with concern, “What’s wrong, Zina? Are you feeling unwell?”

Zina asked, “Edward, who was that just now?”

Edward didn’t hide it. “Someone from YanZin Group. Dad is working with them. They want to have a meal with us.”

Quincy was rarely at home, and her elder son often stayed abroad. Now that Edward was finally back, the responsibility for meeting with partners fell to him.

“YanZin Group?” Zina murmured softly, repeating the name.

Edward smiled gently, “Yes. Do you want to go, Zina? If you do, we can go together.

“We’ll see,” Zina replied. Social gatherings had never been her thing.

Yet just as she recalled that brief, cold voice, a strange twinge of pain unexpectedly welled up in her hollow chest. It was the first time in years Zina had ever felt such discomfort.

Edward, always accommodating, reassured her, “Of course. Just say the word, and we’ll go together.”

The phone call had delayed them for a while, and as they stepped out of the private room, they saw two men standing shoulder to shoulder just ahead, getting into a car.
