Chapter 953 Forbidden Feelings and Secret Plans (1/2)

Zed had kept his eyes on the part, reading the week's holiday check-in report. A nagging suspicion had formed in his mind that the person on the other side of the door was Julie. ”I'm busy,” he replied to his visitor. ”Just send me a message if it's urgent.”

His words were like fuel to Julie's anger. Fighting against her growing temper, she coughed aloud and said, ”It's me, Julie. I need to talk to you.”

Zed's gut had been right about who the person was, and from the looks of it, she would not leave until he faced her. He could just ignore and dismiss her, but the longer she stood outside his office, the more suspicious it would look.

Even in the midst of her tears, Zed stood like an unmoveable statue— his eyes looking at her with ice-like coldness. She almost could not bear to look at them, but she steeled herself to hold his gaze.

”I don't think it will make any difference if I misunderstand or not,” Zed replied.

”What?” Julie asked in confusion. She didn't clearly understand what he meant by his words.

Seeing her at a loss, Zed continued, ”We are not in any relationship with each other. There is no need for any of these
