Chapter 546
Mason gave her a look before pulling out a bathrobe from the wardrobe. He said dryly, “I sincerely hope you can do a good job! My wife used to grumble that I’m very picky and that it was hard trying to please me.”Zoe couldn’t help but ask, “Are you and your wife close, Mr. Mason?” Then, she immediately regretted asking about it. As expected, his face turned cold at once. “That’s none of your concern!”Zoe felt mortified. She felt as humiliated as the time she was at the motel, but she needed the job. So, she had to take all of the insulting and miserable moments that came with it.Opening the wardrobe, she picked out a suitable outfit for him. He’d be attending a formal meeting. So, she picked a deep gray, hand-tailored suit and a light blue shirt to go with it.Faint steam rose in the air when she was ironing them. The smell was familiar. In fact, everything she was doing in there felt like déjà vu to her. It felt as if she had been doing this countless times in a faraway dre
Chapter 547
Zoe wasn’t a fool. She knew what he meant. Mason wanted her to be his mistress.If she slept with him and succumbed to his carnal pleasure, then he’d shower her with piles of cash. She didn’t even need to work twelve hours a day to attain a wealthy and comfortable life. However, that wasn’t the life she wanted for herself.She said in a trembling voice, “I had a husband and kids. They’re lost to me now, but I’m searching for them! You’re extremely attractive and wealthy, Mr. Mason. You could get your hands on any kind of lady. It’s different for me, though. My family is all I’ve got. That’s why I can’t have any complicated relationships with you, Mr. Mason.”His eyes grew darker at that. All of a sudden, he bent over and carried her up to the glass shelf with one hand. The cooling sensation from the glass startled her a little. Before she knew what was happening, he lifted her clothes with another hand, revealing her black bra beneath her white shirt.Shifting his gaze below
Chapter 548
Sitting on a small desk, she ate her supper and flipped through a newspaper that was clearly worn and torn a long time ago. She spent a couple of hundred dollars on the missing person column at the center of the page.“Please contact Zoe Sanders if you have any clues or information regarding her missing family.”It was a small piece, but it symbolized her hope of reuniting with her family. She saved up for a long time before she could afford it, but it had been many days since it was posted up and no one had called her.Nobody found her!Her family didn’t see the small piece in the newspaper!She was reading it quietly and, before she knew it, fell into a trance. She had lost her memories. If she lost her hope as well, then she was no different from a shambling corpse. Life would feel depressing and pointless.…Zoe got downstairs at half past six in the morning. Luke was already waiting for her there.He opened the door for her. Again, she wasn’t a fool. So, she asked at onc

After that, Mason was very cold to Zoe. He seemed to be busy with work too. She continued to work as his personal assistant and complete house chores in his manor in the morning and after work. Sometimes, she even had to pick up Yanni from school and help her with her homework. The little girl still called her Alice, but she’d also invited her for afternoon tea. Yanni asked her servant to make them Earl Grey tea. She told Zoe that this was her mom’s favorite brand and that she had to try it.Zoe tried it and it did taste very good. Yanni’s mom clearly had some good taste.She had never dared to ask about Mason’s wife. After all, she was just his personal assistant. It wasn’t her place to ask about his private life. However, that didn’t mean Yanni wouldn’t tell her from time to time. The little girl told her all about her mom’s quirky habits, favorite outfits, and more. There was one point she even said to her, “Actually, you look a little like my mom, Alice! If you climb onto m

Mason didn’t respond to her. Instead, he headed straight for the stairs. It was raining. So, the clouds have obscured the moon tonight. The stairs were fairly new, but it had been a long time since it had undergone maintenance. Everything looked shoddy and in need of repair. Zoe felt a little embarrassed as she led him upstairs and opened the door to her apartment, revealing her cramped living room. It might’ve been a small apartment, but she kept it tidy. Above the deep-colored desk was a vase with a rose in it. It looked exceptionally delicate, reminiscent of its mistress’s hopes for her future. Despite being in her place, she felt a little uneasy. She said softly, “Take off your overcoat, I have a heater here. It’ll help dry your coat.”He did what she said and handed it to her while staring at her profoundly. Pursing her lips, she took his overcoat and went away to dry it. Then, she headed into the kitchen to make him some herbal tea. Meanwhile, he sat by the desk. Tha

Trapped in his embrace, Zoe wasn’t sure what to do. He had done so much to her body that she felt conflicted. There was something hidden in her body. She wasn’t exactly sure what it was, but it scared her a lot. It was something she couldn’t admit because it’d be too embarrassing to.She was a healthy lady and she had her needs too. What was worse, the man before her was so stunning and dangerous, in a manner of speaking. She did want to brush him off, but she’d be lying if she denied that she really wanted to do unspeakable things with him at that moment.All it took was a second to free the lady from her inhibitions. He understood this tactic very well. So, he began to grope at her sensually once more. She involuntarily let out a yelp and cried out, “No! I don’t want to do it! Please let me go, Mr. Mason…”The next thing he knew, she was cupping her face and crying. She didn’t even try to cover herself. Instead, she just sat underneath the dim light. There was even a small puddl

Zoe didn’t want to fall into it.Running into her bedroom, she picked up a stack of missing person posters and raced downstairs without putting on a coat. She ran all the way to the streets and started putting them up all over stores. “Please contact Zoe Sanders if you have any clues or information regarding her missing family.”It was raining and she was putting them up like a maniac, as if she could drive Mason out of her mind if she would just keep doing it. However, none of it did anything. She stood in the rain, feeling lost and confused. She couldn’t recall her past, no matter how hard she tried. It was a lost cause.A black Rolls-Royce was parked by the side of a road far away from her. The wipers kept swishing left and right, blurring everything in the car. The man lit a cigarette. There was a red glow at the lit end of it that rose and fell as he smoked. He was looking at her quietly, taking in the look on her face.Eventually, their eyes met each other. Zoe’s fa

Zoe said stubbornly, “That’s none of my concern!”Yanni feigned surprise, “Really? I’ve seen you stealing glances at my dad several times! I dislike people who wouldn’t own up to their feelings, Alice!”Before she could retort, Mason knocked on the coffee table a couple of times and said, “Keep working on your French with Zoe.” With that, he left the study. The door closed, but Zoe could still hear him relaying orders to his servants. He wanted Layla to bring Ramona to the guest room and make her her favorite coffee. He also asked another servant to change the flowers in there to roses because Ramona was allergic to lilies.He was so considerate that it pained Zoe to hear him. He must’ve had real feelings for Ramona, unlike the way he had treated her. Perhaps someone like her was nothing but a plaything, as far as he was concerned. She was feeling sorry for herself when Yanni leaned into her ear and whispered, “Feeling bad, huh? If you won’t climb onto my dad’s bed, plenty of
