"My family has power and influence. If you offend them because of me, they won't spare you or Tracy." Elvira pursed her lips.
Zach planted a kiss on her lips. "Don't worry. I can take care of myself," he whispered.
Zach's warm breath on her ear sent shivers down Elvira's spine. She tried to move away
ay but Zach pulled her into his arms.Content rights belong to Nôdaisynovel.com.
Elvira flushed red. She reminded him, "We're in a cab."
Zach froze. He finally understood what his grandmother meant. If they were in his car, he could kiss her.
Elvira pushed him away and shifted to the side, afraid he might get handsy again. "Why do you have a universal room key card? Aren't you supposed to be working now?" Elvira eyed him suspiciously.
"My friend owns that hotel. He asked for my help, Zach explained.
'No wonder,' Elvira thought. Her phone rang again. She looked at it, rejected the call, and blocked the number.
Vincent was furious when Elvira didn't answer. His dislike for her increased. Judy, by comparison, was less of a troublemaker.
"Vincent, what do we do now? Mr. Bacchus is furious. He said he wouldn't let her off unless Elvira apologized. Elvira went too far this time. She had agreed to the blind date. Even if she hates me, she should put the family's interests first." Amber shifted the blame to Elvira, neglecting to mention her role in it.
"The damn girl thinks I can't do anything to her, huh? This isn't your fault. It's Elvira's. She's nothing compared to Judy." Vincent's disapproval of Elvira reached a new high.
Amber relaxed. She even tried to speak for Elvira but only added fuel to the fire.
Zach took Elvira to the most upscale restaurant in Jersten, Vilzell Only the wealthiest could dine there. Only members could book a table there. People in Jersten took pride in being a member of Vilzell. It was considered the ultimate honor to treat someone there. Elvira knew that. Calvin was a member, but he had never brought her here. Thinking Zach didn't know, Elvira tried to find a way to explain without hurting his pride.
However, before Elvira could, Judy's voice came. "Elvira, what a coincidence. Are you here to dine too?"
Elvira's face darkened when she saw Judy and Calvin. Elvira and Calvin had just broken up and these two were already inseparable. How shameless.
"Is that any of your business?" Elvina asked coldly, pulling Zach with her to leave.
Judy also noticed Zach. Zach was so handsome and had such a strong presence that it was difficult not to.
Calvin noticed Elvira too. He frowned. "Elvira, even if you know my VIP member number, it doesn't mean you can bring someone to freeload. You can't enter without a reservation."
"Calvin, don't talk to her like that. Since Elvira wants to eat here, let's take her in, Judy said coquettishly.
Calvin glanced at Elvira, who looked cold. Elvira was his ex-fiancée, after all. He couldn't let her embarrass herself. Tll let her in, for your sake, Judy. But only her. Let's go. Elvira. Calvin sounded like he was doing her a favor.
Elvira was upset. She looked at Zach, afraid that he'd be hurt. However, Zach seemed indifferent, as though he didn't care about Calvin's words. Elvira was relieved. She was about to refuse them since Calvin and Judy had assumed they wanted in when they didn't. The scumbags did like to assume things.
"Elvira, aren't you married? You should keep your distance from other men, even if you're about to be divorced. It's not good to be with someone else before the divorce is final," Judy said disapprovingly. She believed Elvira married an ordinary and ugly man, so she couldn't accept Zach was her husband..

Elvira had enough of Judy's drama. She grabbed Zach's arm and proclaimed, "Do you think everyone likes to be a third party like you? This is my husband, Zach Gilbert"
Judy's face went pale. She was a public figure. If someone had overheard, her acting career would be over. "Elvira, you're joking. How can that be true? Judy refused to believe Elvira's husband was so dashing.
Zach hugged Elvira then, kissing her quickly before Calvin and Elvira. Then, Zach looked coldly at them and spoke imposingly, Tm Elvira's husband. I'll arrange a time to visit her father. Not that it's your business." Watching Zach handle them effortlessly, Elvira's mood improved considerably. She smiled.
Calvin was annoyed, but he had ended things with Elvira. Judy was shocked and looked at the impatient Calvin, who spoke, "Then let's go in together.
Judy didn't say anything,
Elvira refused. "Sorry. I won't eat with scumbags. We'll go somewhere else."
"Enough, Elvira If not for Judy, do you think I would let you in? How would you ever enter then?" Calvin looked at Zach provocatively, his meaning clear. Zach was nothing compared to him. Chapter 14
