Chapter 146
The servant hastily said, “Yes. Madam left on her own with her luggage.”
“She’s got some spirit!”
With that, Mason went upstairs.
When he checked the time, it wasn’t quite the waking hour. He decided to lie back down.
Zoe’s faint fragrance lingered around the bed.
That scent captivated Mason’s soul.
He liked the way she smelled.
She was always clean, with a hint of light shower gel. Every time they were intimate, he couldn’t help but bury himself in her silky hair from behind, getting as close as possible. Just thinking about it, Mason felt overwhelmed.
As he groomed and changed clothes, he pondered whether Zoe’s delicate body was too enticing or if his own desires were simply too strong. The more he thought about it, the more irritated he became.
Now, she hadn’t even bothered to call.
She seemed to be determined to give him the cold shoulder.
At noon, Zoe arrived at Hucksburgh Airport.
This time, David urgently asked for her help, citing some issues with the venue in Hucksburgh that needed coordination. As David was too busy, he requested Zoe to fly over.

Zoe went to the venue first and had discussions with the person in charge. Once the preliminary negotiations were settled, she
proceeded to check into the hotel.
Zoe checked into the Hucksburg Hotel and called David to update him. “Mr. David, don’t worry. I’ve already negotiated with them, and the final result should be favorable.”
David was pleased. “I knew I found the right person. Indeed, Zoe, you handle things smoothly. You’ve done me a great favor.”
Zoe smiled faintly. “It’s just some simple matters. You don’t need to be so polite.”
They chatted for a while. After hanging up the phone, Zoe realized she was hungry. Glancing at the time, it was already five in the evening.
Outside the French window, the sunset glowed with an exceptionally beautiful crimson hue. Zoe felt her mood relaxing. She grabbed her purse and headed to the hotel restaurant.
Unexpectedly, she ran into someone she knew.
It was Cecil.
He should be here for a medical summit, accompanied by several colleagues, both male and female. Engaged in conversation, they helped themselves to the hotel buffet.
When Cecil saw Zoe, he was momentarily stunned. Then, after exchanging a few words with his colleagues, he walked over to her. Under the crystal chandelier, he gazed into her eyes and said softly,” What a coincidence. Meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land.”
Zoe smiled lightly.
She looked up at him, a hint of sadness in her eyes.
She replied, “Indeed. It’s quite a coincidence.”

The scene was actually quite touching.
A man in his prime and a delicately refined woman.
In their mutual gaze, there were too many complex emotions to put into words. It was like a reunion after a long separation.
Someone captured this moment and sent it to Mason.
In the president’s office of the Lockwood Group, Mason sat on a gray sofa, quietly watching the footage of his wife facing someone else. Her light smile was truly beautiful, and her eyes seemed to sparkle.
Mason gently caressed the photo.
‘Zoe, it’s been a long time since you smiled like this. Does meeting Cecil make you so happy?’
He dialed her number, but the call couldn’t get through. The phone played the chilly recorded message repeatedly, “Sorry, the number you dialed cannot be reached at the moment… Sorry, the…”
He dialed again and again, listening to the cold voice.
In the past, Zoe had also called repeatedly, but she never managed to reach him…
Mason hung up the phone and pressed the intercom. “Arrange a private jet to Hucksburgh for me.”
