Chapter 2177: Chapter 2171: Back then, he lost to that person.
He never thought that he, Gary White, would have a day like this.
“Mr. White, when you openly declare our close association, it generates misunderstanding about our relationship, and it may interfere with my life. I kindly request you to refrain from such acts in the future,” Zoey Turpin seed unaffected by Gary White’s now ashen face and continued, “I need to use the restroom. Mr. White, would you please step aside? You are blocking my way.”
Gary White no longer held an indifferent deanor; he glared at her nacingly, appearing as if he could eat her alive.
Damn Zoey, she sure was audacious.
She dared to claim their lack of familiarity.
Yet, Zoey did not seem a bit afraid of him, she glanced at him again, and politely reiterated, “Mr. White, could you please step aside?”
Gary White glared furiously at her.
Zoey returned his gaze fearlessly.
After a standoff, Gary reluctantly moved out of her way, looking severe.
Watching Zoey slowly walk away.
Sothing unnad welled up in his heart.
A sense of discomfort.
He recollected that was how it felt when Zoey had left him years ago.
Standing behind her, watching her slowly disappear until her figure had entirely vanished from sight.
Her departure lasted for several years.
During those years, she seed to have completely vanished.
They did not et even once.
All the news about Zoey that ca his way, was through others.
She had now gone abroad to university.
Her painting had won another award.
And about all the suitors around her.
“Gary White, don’t tell , you aren’t worried. If Zoey finds a superior suitor and he wins her heart, won’t you regret?” soone had once asked him.
How did he respond?
Gary White them rembered his response.
He’d said, “What’s there to worry about? What happens in her life is not my concern.”
Back then, he truly wasn’t worried at all.
Becasue he knew Zoey.
Zoey went abroad to study, she was soone who valued academics and the future more than anything.
She wouldn’t have indulged in romance when in university.
Moreover, Zoey had soone in her heart.
Soone unrivalled by any other.
Even the most promising suitors couldn’t hold a candle to him in Zoey’s heart.
He had once lost to that man.
And lost miserably.
He had already accepted the fact that Zoey didn’t love him.
But strangely enough, Zoey’s indifference earlier still hurt him.
Gary White sneered at himself.
How pathetic was he, to still harbor feelings for a woman who never considered him significant.
He didn’t think about her much, assuming he had moved on.
But just a mont ago, he had the depressing realization, he had never forgotten her.
“If Zoey asks you for dinner, you are not to go. Understand?” Only when Zoey had completely disappeared into the crowd, did Gary White remove his gaze from the hall.
He looked at the man standing beside him and threatened, “If you dare to accept the invitation, be ready to shut down your business.”
The middle-aged man was so frightened his face turned white.
The fear surpassed the joy he felt when Zoey had agreed to go on a date with him.
Although he admired and liked Zoey, and wanted to pursue a relationship with her.
But when compared with the prospect of his career, everything else seed less consequential.
