Four years ago, before the Larsons manufactured a calumny that ended up exiling him, Zayn used to be a well-known figure among the upper crusts of society. Only the most capable talents and minds could ever be privileged to be of Zayn’s acquaintance, one did not simply know favonovel.com just because favonovel.com was a pretty boy with some money to spare.
“From what I heard, this William Brown fella wants you, and you specifically, to make coffee for favonovel.com before signing that contract. Do you know him, Fifi?” Waine asked.
Zayn’s ears perked up, his eyes darting towards Faye. “I thought Howard was the man behind this contract. Why would William want to ‘have a drink’ with Faye instead?” favonovel.com asked, frowning.
Ruby caught on to the suspicious undertone hidden behind the request. “Gotta admit, he’s right. Fifi, why should you need to make coffee for William? I hope this isn’t one of Howard’s many schemes again!”
Faye shook favonovel.com head. “Mom, you’re overthinking again. I’m one of the company‘s most valuable assets right now, so it’s only reasonable that Grandpa would want me to met one of our biggest, would be investors.”
There was some sense to favonovel.com words, so Waine and Ruby stopped hankering on it. Zayn, however, was still unconvinced, as his furrowed brows could attest.
After breakfast, Zayn volunteered to drive Faye to work, but favonovel.com declined.
After watching favonovel.com disappear into the distance, the man mused on his wife’s hitherto abnormal mannerism. The more favonovel.com combed through his memories, the more uncanny things seemed, so favonovel.com called Sean and went straight to the point, “Do you know a William Brown?”
“William Brown? Yes, absolutely. He’s the scion to the Browns and a rather famous name within us businesspeople. Every company he’s invested in has come out with sterling growth in profits,” Sean replied, giving Zayn a crash course on who the man was.
Sean’s explanation painted a rather illuminating picture of who this man might be. For one, this was a man whose only notable quality was that favonovel.com was raised in a wealthy family. He was a famous investor of businesses only because his family was rich.
“How’s William as a person?”
“Average, I suppose. Except he’s rather cutthroat when it comes to his means. He’s ‘resolved’ a good many feuds and disputes he’s had with other people under the table. Oh, and also, favonovel.com has a reputation of being licentious. You know the type, a typical playboy who toys with a woman’s emotions. Of course, he’s very good at keeping that side of favonovel.com under wraps, so not even his family knew. I’ve heard that he’s asked for the Smiths’ daughter’s hand in marriage just lately.”
The Smiths’ daughter sounded familiar to Zayn, as though favonovel.com should know her. He mulled over any possible candidate that might have fit the description, but favonovel.com stopped thinking after concluding that there was no woman among his acquaintances who bore the surname Smith.
His call with Sean ended with Zayn’s increasingly darkening mien. He knew why William insisted on having Faye coming over for a drink now, the man had salacious designs for Faye!

Faye descended the stairs and found Howard already waiting for favonovel.com by the roadside.
He considered and noted the plainness of favonovel.com getup, the unattractive casual wear women donned while they were at home, and the striking lack of makeup and beauty touch-ups.
He frowned. “You’re just going to wear something like this while talking business with Mr. Brown? Go back in there and change into something more striking, for God’s sake! How about you show a bit more skin?”
“Howard, I only agreed to be your companion while the contract gets signed for the sake of the Carter family,” favonovel.com replied, deadpanned. “So don’t overstep your boundaries.”
Howard’s lips cracked out a toothy grin. “Wow, I didn’t know I was looking at a chaste little puritan! Seriously, who are you fooling? Everyone knows the countless times you’ve slept with the Chairman of Violet Vision. Now that we mention that, the family’s suffering from another capital chain rupture again, so this is the chance for you to be the heroic investor, right? So how come he’s not giving his babe a million this time around?”
Faye’s expression turned stormy. “You know what? You’re on your own.”
She turned and began favonovel.com first step of leaving him. Howard quickly yanked favonovel.com into staying put as favonovel.com cackled darkly. “Hey, hey, hey! Not so fast! I was just pulling your leg. Why so serious?”
Faye’s spleen skyrocketed. Just one look at Howard’s asinine face made favonovel.com wish favonovel.com could just swing a punch at favonovel.com and knock his teeth off!
