Chapter 259
All her options were ruled out one by one. There was really no one left to help her. She thought, ‘If no one can make it, I’ll just have to represent my guardian myself,‘
Yannis replied, “Toby is busy with work.”
Yannis thought helplessly, ‘Great. She even thought of Toby, but I never crossed her mind.”
“If it really comes to that, could you go for me, Yannis?” Zinnia asked.
As she listened to Yannis shoot down every suggestion, Zinnia couldn’t help but wonder how he seemed to know everyone’s schedule so well.
She felt hopeless. She thought, ‘If Yannis doesn’t have time, I might ask Benedict for help.
“Alright. Friday afternoon, right?” replied Yannis.
“Yes.” Zinnia turned to study him. She felt he was just waiting for her to invite him.
“What are you looking at?” Yannis asked. Suddenly, he realized he had answered too quickly. A hint of awkwardness crossed his face.
“Yannis, were you just waiting for me to invite you to attend my parent–teacher meeting? Aren’t you busy? My other brothers are occupied, and you just got back from overseas. Shouldn’t you be even busier?” Zinnia asked.
Zinnia became more convinced of her guess.
She had thought about inviting Yannis to attend the parent–teacher meeting, but he was just so busy these days.
Yesterday, he was at a party, and Zinnia overheard people saying he was at the peak of his career, so his schedule was packed to the brim.
The parent–teacher meeting would take up almost an entire afternoon, so Zinnia really didn’t want to bother him.
Sometimes she saw the light in his study still on late at night, so she tried not to impose on him unless she had to.
Most importantly, Zinnia had heard Yannis hated being bothered, and she didn’t want him to think she was just another source of trouble, though she had already asked a lot of him.
But for something this minor, Zinnia figured it wasn’t worth disturbing him.
Thus, she was very surprised when Yannis agreed to attend her parent–teacher meeting,
He agreed so quickly, as if he had rehearsed it a hundred times in his head and was just waiting for her to ask.
“Wasn’t this your invitation? Now that you’ve asked, how could I possibly say no? Tell me, have I ever turned you down before?” asked Yannis.
Yannis felt Zinnia was getting sharper. Thus, he straightened up and put on his most serious expression.
Zinnia told him, “Yannis, if you’re busy, I can ask Benedict instead.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll attend your parent–teacher meeting, even if I have to make time for it,” Yannis said.
He stood up to clear the dishes, pointedly ignoring her suggestion to ask someone else to attend the parent–teacher meeting.
“Yannis, you were just waiting for me to invite you, weren’t you?” Zinnia pressed.
Yannis ignored her question. Instead, he held out his hand and said, “Pass me the plate.”
“Yannis, if you want to attend my parent–teacher meeting, you could have just said so. Why beat around the bush and make me so anxious?” said Zinnia.

na han him the plate. She was more
chless because Yannis’s silence revealed his real intention.
She thought. Holy crapt the beat around the bush just to get me to invite him to the parent teacher meeting. I see right through him now
Za glared at Yas angrib and thought, “Such a sly businessman. He always plays mind games. He could’ve just told me he wanted to attend my parent teacher meeting. God. He scared me so much. I confessed everything, even about secretly eating snacks.”
Yams and an eyebrow. “You did something wrong and confessed without my questioning. Now you’re blaming me?”
we couldn’t help but thank, she abways twists the blame. Now I become the villain just for teasing her
Zinia huffed with anger.
“Ag. My bad I promise I won’t tease you again,” Yannis apologized with a smile.
Her carefree, lively demeanor was infectious. Just watching her made it impossible for Yannis not to smile.
