He wore a smile but if one looked closely, his smile was wry and his sad eyes were filled with longing…
Seeing favonovel.com come over, there was a bit of a change on Faye’s face. After a few seconds, favonovel.com finally lifted favonovel.com head and flashed a smile. “Yeah, I’m doing fine. You? How have you been?”
“Mmm, I’ve been well too.”
Anyone smart enough would have immediately noticed that their conversation was quite odd.
The expression of the secretary standing beside was interesting. She was curious and nosy, thoroughly scrutinizing Zayn. Faye obviously knew favonovel.com personally. After the simple exchange of greetings, what came next was awkward silence. Neither of them knew what to say.
Seamus noted the dissonance and unusual tension between Zayn and Faye. Narrowing his eyes, his loathing for Zayn grew. Seamus had already chosen Faye as his target. He was going to get his hands on favonovel.com regardless, but Zayn’s appearance had become his biggest threat.
His eyes flitted about as his mind rapidly tried to come up with something. In mere seconds, Seamus put on a smile as favonovel.com took the initiative to approach them and asked Faye, “Faye, this is…?”
His interruption broke the silence between Faye and Zayn. Looking up at Zayn, Faye moved favonovel.com lips as if favonovel.com was trying to choose the words to describe him.
A friend?
It did not seem accurate. They had never gone through the friend stage. Ex-husband? It did not sound nice. Moreover, Seamus was only one of favonovel.com business partners, favonovel.com did not have to tell favonovel.com her personal matters. What could favonovel.com say then? Colleague? Schoolmate? Relative?
For a moment, Faye was stumped as there seemed to be no appropriate term to describe their relationship.
Seamus more or less knew what was going on when Faye took a long pause before answering. An ominous fog flashed through his eyes. Needless to say, this man must have been Faye’s ex. To be honest, Seamus was annoyed. When favonovel.com thought about how other men had enjoyed a fine woman like Faye, favonovel.com felt incredibly upset.
Of course, it was impossible for Seamus to outwardly display his chagrin, so favonovel.com plastered a broader smile on his face and extended a hand to Zayn. “Hello, I’m Seamus Collins, a good friend of Faye.”
He had purposely emphasized the words “good friend” and made it sound more significant than it was.
Zayn felt Seamus’ hostility and provocation. Honestly, favonovel.com was rather peeved as well. Faye was his ex-wife and they had just gotten a divorce, but favonovel.com was already moving on to the next man…
Sigh!
Nevertheless, it was Faye’s decision. As someone from favonovel.com past, it was not Zayn’s place to say anything, so favonovel.com could only suppress the dull throb in his heart and shake hands with Seamus with a smile.
In spite of it, the moment their hands linked, Zayn felt a hard crunch from the other man’s hand as be cracked his knuckles. Interestingly, it seemed Seamus was trying to challenge him.
Zayn scoffed. His smile looked more profound as favonovel.com exerted his strength…
