The next day, in the private room of a high–end restaurant, Zane stared at his watch. It was already forty minutes past the agreed time. But Selena still hadn’t shown up. No one had ever dared to make him wait so long.
“Apologies. There was traffic on the way here, so I’m late.”
The door to the private room opened. Rachel appeared with Rebecca while smiling in front of Zane and his assistant, Colin.
Colin was dumbfounded. Ms. Freeman?
Zane squinted. His face turned pale with disbelief because he had never imagined that Rachel was Selena.
Rebecca stood nervously next to Rachel. As soon as they entered, she felt the oppressive aura from him, making her feel suffocated. Trembling, she placed the documents on the table. “Mr. Jenkins, this is Selena. We-”
“No need for introductions. We know each other,” Zane’s tone was cold. His dark eyes were like a bottomless abyss, as if ready to swallow Rachel whole. “Everyone can leave. I want to talk to Selena alone.”
Soon, only the two of them were left in the private room.
Zane questioned coldly, “What game are you playing?”
Rachel smiled. “Just talking about work.”
Zane suppressed his anger. After seven years, Rachel in front of him was nothing like the.
woman he once knew. He even felt like he was being played in her palm.
“Have you been living abroad as Selena for the past seven years?”
“That is not the topic of our discussion today.” Rachel raised an eyebrow, tapping on the documents on the table. “It’s clear that you’ve no intention of discussing work with me. If that’s the case, let’s not waste each other’s time. I have other business partners to meet.”
Zane took a deep breath, his gaze still fierce.
“For this collaboration, can you guarantee there won’t be any personal feelings involved?” He returned to his usual cold dominance, becoming the top dog he was. “I need to ensure that every penny I invest will not be lost.”
“Mr. Jenkins, you need to understand something. It was your company that invited me, and I

have the right to choose whether to work with you or not.” Rachel looked him in the eye. Judging by your current attitude toward me, allow me to reconsider.”
With that, Rachel grabbed the documents and stood up. Zane’s face darkened with anger. After waiting for forty minutes, he was rejected like this.
“Rachel!”
Zane cornered her. “Seven years ago, it was useless for you to cry and beg me not to divorce. Now you’re using this method to get my attention, huh?”
As he spoke, he grabbed Rachel’s waist.
Rachel frowned and pushed his hand away. “Mr. Jenkins, just because you’re rich, handsome, and powerful doesn’t mean you’re the only one in the world. I’ve met men abroad who are better than you and make my head spin. Where do you get the confidence to think I’m playing hard to get with you?”
Zane’s expression darkened.
“You said I shouldn’t bring personal feelings into this. Isn’t that what you’ve been emphasizing?” Rachel sneered. “Mr. Jenkins, we are all adults. There’s no need to cling to the past like this. But I must say you have disappointed me. The collaboration is off.”
His eyes flashed with anger as he grabbed her wrist. “Have you had enough fun?”
