Chapter 929 Disturb Your Date With Julie (1/2)

”Do you think I may fight with Julie if I work in the hotel? Or are you afraid that I may get in the way of you two dating?”  Jean questioned.

Zed regarded Jean with a serious expression. ”How many times do I have to explain before you will believe me?”

”You lied to me that you had fired Julie. What kind of a fool do you take me for? I don't believe anything that you have to say!” Jean said coldly.

Zed was shocked that Jean knew the truth. 'How did she find out?' Zed wondered.

Zed suddenly remembered that Jean had been to the hotel yesterday. Maybe she heard about it from the other staff. Zed felt annoyed with himself. He should have informed all the staff members in the hotel to keep it as a secret from Jean.

”Well? Do you have anything to explain to me?” Jean put her chopsticks down and looked at Zed with disappointment.

”Jean, nothing is going on between Julie and me. As for firing her, you know that she helped me a lot with the purchase of the hotel. At that time, I agreed with her request to let her work in the hotel. Therefore...”

Zed was sweating as he explained. He felt worried that Jean knew about it all.

”What a ridiculous deal! I thought that you had already given her a large sum of money for her help in purchasing the hotel. Didn't that count?” Jean was getting more frustrated and furious by the minute. She glanced at Zed. ”Or maybe that was what you used to attract her!”

”What nonsense are you talking about?” Zed asked with a sullen expression, suddenly standing up from the chair.

”Ha! So I am right, aren't I? That's why you're getting so angry? Gosh, how couldn't I see how much of a bastard you are before?” Jean also stood up, turned on her heels and went to her room in a huff. She slammed the door shut with all her strength, not bothering to let Zed explain himself any further.

At the sound of the door slamming shut in front of him, Zed closed his eyes and pursed his lips. He felt both angry and anxious.

He sighed deeply and went to the door of the bedroom. ”Jean, I have told you. There's nothing happening between Julie and me. Absolutely nothing! You can believe it not.”

It all starts on that fateful night.
