Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 42

In the meeting room

Zed's phone kept buzzing. He put down the proposal and took up his phone to check who was messaging him so urgently.

There were several messages from Zack Xing.

"Zed, check out Weibo. You are on top of the search list."

"Don't be too upset. Come to my club tonight. You can have all my good wine, " wrote Zack.

Zed clicked on the link shared by Zack. A few seconds later, Weibo's top search section loaded on his phone. When Zed saw the post and pictures about Jean and Ethan, his face darkened.

Clap!

He slammed his phone on the table.

In the meeting room, everyone had been sluggishly listening to the report, but Zed's sudden reaction made them straighten up and read the proposal attentively.

The secretary who was recording the meeting was startled. She leaned forward and asked softly, "Mr. Qi, are you not satisfied with the proposal?"

"Yes, I am very unsatisfied. Redo it, "

Zed roared with anger before standing. He grabbed his phone and left the meeting room. As he waited for the elevator, he dialed Jean's number.

He had just warned the woman in the morning. Now she dared to post such a photo. What was she up to?

She had just met Ethan at the party. Within days, she was so eager to reunite with him.

"Sorry, the phone you dialed cannot be reached."

The elevator door closed slowly. Zed ended the call when he heard the recorded message. He suddenly remembered that Jean's phone had gotten wet last night.

He reckoned that Jean would not be at home. But how could he find her since she couldn't be reached?

While he was wondering, Zed received a message on his phone.

"Dear gold card holder, you card ending in 7888 has been charged 288 dollars at the Migo Dessert in East Department Store."

Zed squinted as he read the message. Having learned of Jean's whereabouts, he quickly reached out and pressed the underground button which would take him to the parking lot.

With nothing better to do all day, Jean decided to get her phone fixed. She had found a repair shop at the closest department store. While they fixed her phone, she decided to pass the time by wandering about. Seeing the dessert store, she stopped for a durian crepe cake. As she continued exploring, Jean spotted a clothing store.

'Wow, they have all the new designs. I want to try them, ' thought Jean. Jean stepped into the store and selected a few clothes that she liked. Then she headed for the fitting room.

Since she was using Zed's card, Jean didn't care to look at the price tags.

"Wrap this dress and that jacket. I want to try the dress on the model, " said Jean to the assistant. Jean handed the card to the shop assistant and went into the fitting room.

The shop assistant had been watching Jean wearily. When she saw the gold card, the assistant became more congenial. However, worried that the card was fake, the assistant billed for the two clothes before complying with Jean's request about the dress.

In the fitting room, Jean tried on a knitted base dress with a camisole. Although it had looked great on the model, Jean worried it might not fit her as well. Surprisingly, it showed her curves perfectly. Jean was thrilled that it looked better on her.

Since all the shop assistants were women, Jean stepped out of the fitting room unabashedly to request for the jacket. The dress was showy and she wondered if the jacket would make it more modest.
