At fifteen minutes past eight in the evening in Sunset Br.

The agreed twas eight o'clock, but Sophia and Lenora intentionally arrived a bit late,

Sophia hoped the other party would wait for a while and leave because she hadn't shown up.

45 Fise Come

Inside the bar, there was a cacophony of voices. The entire place was bathed in the glow of red lights and the

shimmer of countless bottles.

The two of them found a booth inside and sat down, ordering a couple of drinks.

Sophia took out her phone, sending a message through WhatsApp: I'm here. Where are you?

The other party responded: I'm not there yet. Please wait for a bit.

Sophia replied: All right. Then, she vented to Lenora, "D*mn! He's even more late than me!"

In a booth not far away, a tall figure sat with a languid grace. He was sipping his drink in utter boredom,

occasionally glancing toward the entrance as if he were waiting for someone.

He had a refined appearance, adorned with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, emanating a scholarly and dignified

aura. His clean and refreshing demeanor was like a breath of spring air, naturally drawing people to want to get

closer. Just in the short the had been sitting there, quite a few people had approached him, both men and

women. However, he had turned them all down.

When he saw a certain figure enter and take a seat, his eyes lit up. He casually finished his glass of red wine and

was about to get up and approach when suddenly, someone called out to stop him.

"Zephyr?" Summer approached with a warm smile. "I didn't expect to run into you in Jacaster. What a pleasant

surprise."

Zephyr nodded. "It's quite a coincidence, indeed."

Summer introduced Howard, who was standing behind her. "Howard, this is my cousin's friend, Zephyr. And this

is Howard, an old friend of Ezekiel."

Upon noticing the subtle hint of appeasement in Summer's interaction with Zephyr, Howard studied him for a

moment. Extending his hand, he greeted, "Hello."

Zephyr glanced at him and extended his hand. "Hello."

As soon as he finished speaking, he withdrew his hand and said nonchalantly, "I have smatters to attend to,

so | won't be able to entertain you any longer"

With a smile, Summer said, "Zephyr, please go ahead."

Zephyr rose and departed.

Summer and Howard settled themselves directly by the table.

Howard turned to glance at Zephyr's figure. Dissatisfice with his indifferent demeanor, he asked, "Who is he

Summer said, "All | know is that he's a friend Ezekiel et while abroad. It seems like he's of mixed heritage. It was

only last year, when he returned to the country and paid a visit to the Hoffman family with Ezekiel, that | got to

know him."

In reality, Zephyr's physical appearance wasn't bad at all. From their first meeting, Summer was somewhat taken

aback..

Afterward, she casually inquired about Zephyr from Ezekiel. She found out that Zephyr had left his venture

capital firm abroad with plans to return and establish himself in his hcountry. The implication was that

Zephyr cfrom a humble background and had made his way up through his own efforts. Upon learning this,

Summer finally let go of her preconceived notions.

Howard scoffed dismissively, his gaze fixed on Zephyr's figure. He watched as Zephyr confidently took a seat at

the table of two beautiful women.

Howard shifted his gaze back, his curiosity piqued as he asked, "Is it true that mixed-race guys have a better

chance with the ladies?"

After waiting for a few seconds without getting a response from Summer, Howard looked up, only to find her

staring intently in the direction of Zephyr - or, more accurately, at the two beautiful women across from Zephyr.

Howard took a closer look. Wasn't one of the two beauties across from Zephyr none other than Lenora? Sophia

had just put down her phone when a familiar figure approached her.

The figure was all too familiar to her. She didn't need to look to know who it was.

Sophia averted her gaze and muttered under her breath to Lenora, "Here comes the trash."

Lenora was momentarily taken aback. Just as she regained her composure, Zephyr had already taken a seat

across from them.

He chuckled, revealing a set of pearly white teeth. "Sophia, Ms. Wilkin, what a coincidence."

Sophia rolled her eyes. "Can'

you read the room?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"If I'm not welcoming you, you should just walk past me, pretending you haven't seen me."

The last tthey met at a mall, this was

actly what Sophia had done.

With a gentle smile, Zephyr lowered his gaze, his demeanor refined and insightful. "I apologize," he said, "I

would never do something so impolite."

His words subtly suggested that Sophia was impolite.

Sophia gave a light huff. "Now that we've exchanged greetings, can you

leave?"

"In such a vast city, our meeting must be fate. Shall we share a couple of drinks together?"

Sophia looked at him with disdain, remaining perfectly still.

Lefora rolled her eyes in silence, thinking to herself that Zephyr's thick skin was on par with Zachary's.

Seeing the two remaining silent, Zephyr raised an eyebrow. "What's the matter? Are you in such a hurry to get

rid of me? Did you arrange a blind date and are afraid | might see?" "I'm afraid you might disgust him," Sophia

responded.

"As it happens, I've also arranged to meet someone. But I'm not worried about her being put off by you, so let's

wait together. We can introduce each other when the tcomes."

Sophia and Lenora were rendered speechless.

Lenora's worldview seemed to be falling apart.

He wants them to introduce their exes to their blind dates?

Is this what Zephyr had learned after spending several years abroad?

Sophia knew all too well that Zephyr was simply trying to make her uncomfortable.

Her chest heaved with suppressed emotion, on the verge of a fiery outburst. Suddenly, Zephyr said, "By the way,

the matchmaker mentioned that my blind date's last nis Tortell. It couldn't possibly be you, could it?" The

words Sophia was about to say suddenly got stuck in her throat, almost choking her.

She took a breath, denying, "No."

""Why not?"

"The Whatusernis different."

"Oh, | have an alternate account. It's called ZY."

Sophia's facial muscles twitched twice.

A hint of a smile tugged at Lenora's lips. If her memory served her right, she had just caught a glimpse of the

chat interface on Sophia's phone screen. Displayed at the top was "ZY" "Zephyr Yankovich, are you messing with

me?" Sophia gritted her teeth in anger.

From a not too distant spot, Summer let out a cold chuckle.

Although she couldn't hear their conversation, with a bit of thought, she knew that if a man tried to flirt, as long

as the woman rejected him, he would certainly take the hint and leave. Zephyr was strikingly handsand

cfrom an exceptional background. He was not the type to relentlessly pursue someone.

He had been sitting across from Lenora for so long without leaving. It was clear that Lenora and her friend had

not turned him away, deliberately keeping Zephyraround.

She pursed her lips, turning to Howard and said, "You see? Any random guy, as long as he appears wealthy.

Lenora can easily laugh and chat with. How does a person like that deserve Ezekiel?" Howard had a strong dislike

for Zephyr, which consequently led to an even greater distaste for Lenora. He suggested, "Should | teach her a

lesson right now?"

"What are you planning to do?"

Howard explained softly, "Given the criminal record, even if Ezekiel agrees, Mr. Hoffman would never

consent,"

"Isn't this a bad idea? What if Ezekiel finds out..." Summer voiced her hesitation.

"Don't worry. | won't let Ezekiel find out."

Summer pursed her lips. "If Ezekiel finds out, don't tell him | knew."

"Don't worry. | won't rat you out."

After he finished speaking, Howard made a phone call.

A few minutes later, a young man who looked like a punk approached Howard.

Howard whispered a few words into the thug's ear, who nodded in response. He then reached into his pocket to

retrieve a package that resembled white flour and slowly started walking toward Lenora's table.
