Chapter 12 Business Dinner?

After having brunch, Ophelia returned to Zachariah’s apartment in the downtown area.

She thought he had gone for a meeting. However, when she pushed open the door, she saw the lights
were on, and Zachariah was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, swirling a glass of wine in his
hand and glancing at her.

Ophelia was dumbfounded and then forced a smile on her face before greeting him, “Mr. Chambers, I
thought you have to attend a business dinner tonight.”

Afterwards, she bent over to put on her slippers.

“Where have you been? It is so late now.” Zachariah asked.

Ophelia walked towards him and sat on top of his laps before wrapping her arms around his neck.
Then, she deliberately smelled him and giggled, “Why did you come back so early? Do you miss me by
now?” Zachariah put his hands around her wrist, put the goblet on the table and looked down at her
with darkened eyes, “It is rare to see you so submissive like this. Are you running out of money?”

Although Ophelia was smiling, a sense of coldness already filled her mind. “You are always generous.
The pocket money you provided is enough for me even if I go shopping every day for a year. How
come I am short of money now?”

Zachariah raised her chin and said, “As long as you behave well, I will treat you nicely.”

Ophelia rest her head on his chest and smelled like a little puppy, saying, “You are drinking?”

Zachariah grabbed her hands, which were rubbing and flirting him, and answered, “A bit.”

“There are lots of beauties in the party. Why don’t you just grab one?” Ophelia lied on his chest asking
like a sluggish cat.



“Why don’t I just accompany this little cat at home?”

Ophelia smiled in a seductive manner and replied, “If you took me to the party, I would have shone like
the most charming Persian cat.”

Zachariah’s eyes darkened and said, “It’s better for you to stay at home.”

Ophelia was disappointed at his words. Zachariah never admitted that she was his wife deep in his
mind. The woman accompanied him at business gathering would never be her.

Ophelia suddenly got up and said politely, “Mr. Chambers, I am a bit tired after hanging around all day. I
am going to take a bath and go to sleep. Please enjoy yourself.”

Afterwards, she directly went upstairs.

Sitting on the sofa alone, Zachariah was staring at Ophelia’s disappearing figure. Ophelia went to the
bedroom and directly shut the door, feeling confused.

After thinking for a while, he put down the wine goblet and strode upstairs. He wanted to open the
bedroom door, but only to find it locked from inside.

He frowned and said in a low voice, “Open the door!”

However, Ophelia didn’t respond him after waiting for almost a minute.

Zachariah knocked at the door again and said with irritation, “Ophelia, open the door, don’t be grumpy.”

However, she still remained silent.

Zachariah knocked at the door heavily and said in a deeper voice, “Ophelia, open the
door!”
