Chapter 179 What Do You Mean (Part Two)

With a hint of slyness on her face, Essie added, "If I divorce you, will you really not marry again?" Even

though her heart was thudding against her chest in anticipation of his answer, she tried to look

composed.

"The word 'second marriage' doesn't exist in my dictionary. The best I can do is make sure you won't

leave me. Or else this man will be all alone." He suddenly pursed the corners of his mouth and his

expression became extremely serious.

Her heart skipped a beat. 'Isn't he afraid I would be with him like a headache forever?' she wondered.

"Be careful with your words, Zac. You may regret it in the future. You will meet a lot of women and

might fall for one of them." She passed him a challenging look. People like him would have a line of

girls even in his seventies or eighties. It was impossible to expect his admiration forever. Besides, his

relationship with Leila had been strong. He could think about her and get back with her. Perhaps one

day, the elders of the two families would give in. They may decide to make peace and accept the

marriage.

"There is no point in thinking about the future. You will know what kind of person I am once you spend

all your life with me." He reached out and stroked her head. He was a bit disappointed since his words

didn't hold any weight; Essie looked doubtful.

"Then you would need to pray that the baby in Valery's belly is not yours. There is no way I am staying

if that is the case. I would rather die than be a stepmother. Being Valery's baby's stepmother would be

a nightmare." She was actually going to be that little kid's auntie. But aunt was a position she could

handle. Stepmother was a scary business.

With a self-assured smile on his face, Zac believed he had nothing to worry. She belonged to him and

no one could snatch her away.

floors, looking grand and magnificent even to the outsider. Essie stood for a minute, admiring its

beauty.

Zac's and Essie's entrance held everyone's attention.

Prior to this, Zac hadn't brought any woman to the company. This was quite a shock to them.

"Hello, Mr. President," the receptionist greeted him.

"This is my wife," Zac said. Slowly, he introduced Essie to the people around him. Nobody knew about

this and the announcement came as a shock. Bidding them farewell, he took her to the elevator.

Even the elevator was extraordinary! Essie had never seen such an elevator before! She tried her best

to not gape.

Floor number ninety eight and ninety nine contained Zac's office, private meeting room, reception room

and activity room. All in all, these two floors were dedicated exclusively for him, the CEO.

Except for William and the senior managers, whom Zac trusted, nobody had the rights to enter these

two floors. If someone wanted to visit, they could only do so by notifying and receiving CEO's

permission. In short, these two floors were trodden on by a very few pair of legs.

Zac took Essie to his office on the ninety eighth floor.

"This floor and the top floor are mine. You can do whatever you want. If you feel bored, you can watch

TV or play games on the top floor. The collection is vast," he said with a smile.

Looking around the office, Essie found that the decoration was completely in sync with Zac's character.

It wasn't resplendent and magnificent like rest of the office. But it had a lot of grace and a tinge of

arrogance in its decor.

Three computers and six phones were sprawled neatly on a table. The first one was to connect with

close friends and family, the second one was to connect with the regional CEOs abroad, the third and

the fourth were dedicated to converse with management of the head office and the staff he trusted. The

fifth one was kept to interact with the CEO Office and the sixth had the ability to connect with all the

extensions in the Emperor's building.

An oil painting featuring a black panther was hung on the wall at the entrance. The background was of

the vast Eastern African grassland. In the painting, the panther was strong and fierce. Its green eyes

seemed to have a murderous look, ready to pounce at its prey. Those who saw it could not help but

shudder. It was intimating just like its owner!

On the other wall, there was a huge bookshelf, stacked with books of various genres. On the wall

facing the desk was a huge LCD screen for the meeting.

Essie walked to the sofa, taking in her surroundings. She turned around, walked toward his expensive

chair, and sat down. Crossing her arms over her chest, she looked at him with her fierce eyes. Her

thick and long eyelashes were glinting playfully which made her look rather quirky.

He lowered his head, unable to hold back his laughter. The sight was indeed adorable. She made a

cute boss.

"My queen, I'm going to have a meeting. I'll leave this to you."

"You have my permission to leave," she said, trying to sound authoritative.

Her words made him laugh further. He couldn't leave just like that. Zac walked over, placed a gentle

kiss on her forehead and then left the office.

Once he was gone, she felt relaxed, acting like a monkey that had just been released from a cage.

From her reaction, one would think this place contained some treasure.

'WOW! What a rich guy!' she muttered under her breath as she saw the swimming pool. Adjacent to it

was the golf training field. Opposite to it there were squash room and bowling room. Before this, she

didn't think offices could have such facilities. 'Is he here to work or to have fun?' she wondered

enviously. This seemed like a recreation center.

When she came back, she took out a bottle of juice from the fridge and sat on the boss's chair again.

While she was relaxing, her eyes caught sight of the large desk. On it, sat the digital photo frame.

There must be many photos in it. Essie's curiosity was piqued.

She couldn't wait to unravel the contents inside. Unfortunately, it was locked and required a password.

'Of course he keeps a password,' she thought to herself, feeling silly about getting herself so excited.

Knowing it wouldn't harm, she decided to guess his password. She attempted Zac's birthdate.

Incorrect password!

People were always reminded not to use their own birthdays as passwords. However, Zac was very

smart and didn't even intend to use it in the first place. He had a better date in his mind.

After thinking about it for a long time, she typed her own birthdate.

"Incorrect Password!" the screen announced.

'Silly, why would he use my birthdate?' she asked herself.

Perhaps, it could be Leila's birthdate. But she had no idea when it was!

Just when she was about to give up, another thought popped into her mind. With a trace of

expectation, she typed 20150401.

The device unlocked!

No way! It couldn't be true! She had typed their marriage registration date and it was indeed his

password.

Her face turned bright with excitement. A warm sensation passed through her body.

She clicked onto the photo frame. To her surprise, the pictures were all hers. All taken at Yang City and

Dragon City. The painting she had painted for him was also there. He had scanned it and saved it in

the digital frame. Now she was overcome by both happiness and curiosity. She began to scan through

every photo present there.

'What?

He took photos of me while I was asleep! Also look! Here he is kissing me!' she thought. But she wasn't

angry at all. It brought delight to her.

Completely stunned, she didn't know what to make of this. Was he genuinely in love with her?
