The venue was left with just the three of them. Tanya, unlike Sarah, did not have many deep thoughts. She rolled her eyes in annoyance and shook her fingers, complaining, "Archery isn't fun at all. My hands hurt so much!"Sarah said in a cool tone, "I warned you that you'd just slow Mr. Schmidt down, Ms. Lester. You need to know your limits. What's the point of trying to take over when you can't handle it? In the end, you're still the loser."She was not just talking about archery; she was also talking about men.Tanya was smart enough to catch the dig. "You!"She whipped around, only to see Sarah casually standing with one hand holding a sun umbrella and the other on her hip. The sunlight was bathing her, making her bare legs shine brightly.She looked so stunning that Tanya realized too late that her plan to make Sarah hold the umbrella to embarrass her had backfired. Standing next to her, Tanya was the one who looked foolish.Already furious with Sarah and now with her snide c

Yosef had shown Zara how to do a lot of things, but golf was what she had picked up best.Maybe it was because that was the first time he had defended her, showing her she did not always have to keep quiet and take it.The towel in Zara's hands had turned cold. Nevertheless, she clung to it. The water dripped from her fingers to the ground, just like tears.Yosef used to be so kind to her, which made his later cruelty all the more ugly.Sarah thought Yosef was being nice? His 'niceness' now was nothing but a deal, a threat. It was a way to keep her because he could not let go. It meant nothing.Sarah stopped watching Stefan and Tanya's mushy display. Remembering something, she warned Zara, "I'm not involved with Mr. Webb at all. You should watch out for another woman."Zara passed the towel to the archer boy and looked her way."It's Leah, the Ms. Nox Tanya was talking about. We played cards last night, and I think she likes Mr. Webb," Sarah said with a serious tone.Leah? Zara

It was Leah.She was wearing a dark green swimsuit that was simple yet stylish. It was a tough color to pull off unless the person wearing it was really pale. However, Leah looked amazing in it.Zara gave a friendly smile.Leah swam up to her and asked, "Ms. Lowry, why not come in for a full soak?""I didn't bring my swimsuit, so it's just my legs today," Zara answered.Leah gave a small smile. "I see. I thought you were scared of water because you almost drowned as a kid. I was about to come over and keep you company."Her unexpected words caught Zara off guard.Drowning...She had almost drowned once in high school during a swim class. How did Leah know about it, though?Zara wondered for a moment before asking her. Leah's long black hair was let loose, spreading out on the surface of the water. She looked like a mermaid.She tilted her head, smiling. "I went to school there too. I was there when you had your accident. I saw everything.""Ah..." Zara was even more taken

What?Sarah and Leah?Zara's brows furrowed with puzzlement. These two were not supposed to cross paths, so what was going on?She could not help but speed up her steps....Leah did not stay in the hot spring pool after Zara left.She changed her clothes, did her makeup, and went to L'Étoile Brillante.As she walked in, she saw Sarah sitting cozily next to Yosef, her head on his shoulder and their arms linked.It was tough to tell if Sarah was just being lazy or simply uninterested."Go with this card," Sarah said, pointing to the one in Yosef's hand. Yosef, however, picked two different cards and tossed them aside, saying, "A true lady doesn't comment during a game, and that goes for cards too."Sarah popped a grape into Yosef's mouth with a playful pout. "If you don't listen to me, you might just choke!"Leah knew all about Sarah, the business manager of Schmidt Group and a famous face in Westwood's social circles. She used to be Stefan's girlfriend... Well, his ex-girlfr

Sarah had made things right, and there was nothing left to say.Yaxley said, "We're all friends here. Let's forget about it. Dinner's ready. Let's go eat."Everyone agreed without saying a word and got up.Sarah did not look at anyone and left by herself, skipping the dinner.Zara was worried and wanted to follow Sarah, but Yosef held her hand. "Where are you off to? Didn't you miss me after not seeing me all afternoon?"Anyone who overheard him might think he was being playful.Zara, too worried to think that, felt she had spoken out of turn earlier and upset him. He might be looking for a way to get back at her.He was Yaxley's business partner, and she had made a comment that could have made Yaxley's cousin look bad—all to help Sarah. She had not apologized as Sarah did to Yaxley and Leah. If Yaxley held a grudge, it could hurt their business prospects.Yosef really did not like it when women made things complicated for him.She had been careful not to bother him for the la
