Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 101

She was so shocked that she almost dropped the fork in her hand onto the ground.

"It seems that a business trip gives you an appetite."

A cold face appeared in front of them. The people standing around Jean were all surprised by his appearance. None of them had thought that they would see him here.

Jean was so startled that her mouth opened wide enough to fill in a fist. Thinking that she had imagined his appearance, Jean shook her head.

Perhaps she was just so tired that she was seeing things that weren't really there. And so Jean closed her eyes and rubbed them. But when she opened her eyes again, he was still standing in front of her.

"What ... what are you doing here?" Jean's hands trembled as she put the fork back into the pasta bowl. She still hadn't processed that he had come to the location.

Her heart was racing and an overwhelming sense of guilt flooded Jean. She didn't even dare to look into his eyes.

"You don't want me here?" Instead of answering her, Zed asked a question. He raised his eyebrows as he waited for her to reply. Although there wasn't much to be upset about, he didn't like Jean's reaction when she saw him. She seemed unhappy. That had upset Zed.

"No, no..." Jean swallowed as she felt a shiver run down her spine. Zed was dangerous and hard to deal with in situations that involved Ethan. She had been startled by Zed's appearance as she had never imagined that he would come here. This was, after all, her work, a remote location, and the road had been blocked because of a landslide. So how could he have turned up here?

Upon hearing their conversation, the onlookers quietened immediately. They had been standing around in groups, chatting quite lively. But it had become exceptionally quiet. Only a few people who were standing far were still unaware of what was happening, and so, they continued speaking with each other.

Ethan had never thought that Zed would show up here. Seeing his rival, Ethan was surely displeased, but there was little he could do.

He put on a dark expression and said in an extremely cold tone, "Does Mr. Qi come here just to keep an eye on Jean?"

Once the director had realized who had come on set, he ran over to them. "Mr. Qi, " he gasped before continuing, "How come you are here? I had asked the vice director to contact you earlier, but he only could get in touch with your secretary. You should have told us that you were coming so that we could have sent someone to pick you up in time."

Selena who had been grumpy because of the pasta incident, perked up. Zed Qi, the CEO of Qi Group and also the richest most eligible bachelor was on her set! Was it her imagination or had he grown more handsome since she last saw him?

Selena remembered meeting him once during a party about a year ago. She also had a short conversation with him at that party. He was cold and arrogant as well then. But he was so handsome and charming that even a casual glance from him could steal women's hearts.

Now, she was nearly the most popular star in the world and many men fawned over her all the time. However, she hadn't been able to forget about Zed. He was the man of her dreams!

"Director, Zed... Mr. Qi has invested in my movie as well?" Selena asked.

"Yes. You didn't know that? Mr. Qi is the primary investor in this movie, " the director explained.

Selena was delighted to hear that Zed was the primary investor for her movie. She thought he had forgotten her after they met the last time. She had never expected that he would keep up with her career and even invest in her movie.

'Did he come here to see me?' Thinking of that, Selena flashed her most charming smile. Then she sauntered up to Zed and said, "Mr. Qi, do you remember me?"

"Yes." He replied curtly but his eyes were fixed on Jean all this while. He just couldn't take his eyes off her.

Selena didn't notice that and the corners of her mouth lifted at his answer. The smile on her face was so attractive. She coquettishly walked closer to Zed and asked seductively, "So, you are here to see me on purpose?"

'He was here to see Selena?' Jean pouted. It turned out that Zed and Selena knew each other. Then why had he never talked about Selena before?

Jean saw the satisfaction on Selena's face and couldn't help but feel upset. She didn't like it when Zed was approached by other women, especially someone as gorgeous as Selena. Jean didn't notice that she seemed to have gotten a little jealous.

"I was on a business trip and came here to see my wife." As soon as everyone heard the word, wife, they began whispering. Jean was so embarrassed, that she felt as though the dim conversations were loud enough to deafen her.

Selena froze in place with a shocked expression on her face. Although she was infatuated with Zed, she seldom checked the news. So she didn't know that Zed was married.
