Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

Dejected, Zed turned and walked toward the bar counter.

"Whisky."

Zed sat down at the counter and requested Zack for a drink. He chose the strongest whisky available.

After twisting off the cap, he immediately gulped down several large mouthfuls.

This surprised Zack. He tilted his head and looked at Zed. His lip corners turned upward, then he said in a concerned yet sarcastic tone, "Zed, I didn't expect that you would be so invested in this relationship. You are so serious this time that you even came here to confront her. Zed, you really surprise me..."

"Shut up!" Zed glared mercilessly at Zack before throwing back another shot of whisky.

The party was livelier than usual. The hall was a cacophony of sounds. With all the people talking and laughing and the loud music being played by the DJ, Zed's head started aching.

While looking at the liquor in the glass, the scene he had seen earlier of Jean and Ethan laughing and talking flashed through Zed's mind.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he felt in his heart.

Zed finally couldn't bare it anymore. He fiercely slammed the glass in his hand onto the counter, then turned and left the bar.

Zack shook his head and sighed, "Even an extraordinary business talent can be trapped by love."

As Zed walked across the dance floor, his handsome appearance attracted the attention of many women.

However, Zed pushed his way past them and headed straight for the toilet.

Jean hadn't had supper yet. When her stomach rumbled, she decided to go looking for food. As she stepped out of the private room to find something to eat, she saw Zed.

Jean didn't expect that she would meet Zed at the party. Zed's appearance surprised her so much that her heart began pounding. She looked at him with widened eyes.

Zed's gaze had been on the floor. When he smelt Jean's familiar scent, he looked up. Zed's eyes roamed over Jean as he studied her appearance. From her styled hair to the tight dress, and the light makeup, she looked so attractive. A feeling of possessiveness overwhelmed Zed.

As his eyes searched her face for an explanation, Jean shifted her gaze away. Her heart pounded even more strongly and rapidly.

Before she could think of something to say, Jean felt Zed's hands cupping her face.
