Chapter 276
Chapter 276
People were surprised that it had already been ten months since Zack and Katherine's divorce, yet Zack never went out with another woman.
This was why a lot of people around him were worried.
But in the end, they realized that he wasn't the type to accept a woman right away and shrugged off the thought of keeping their noses on Zack's personal matters.
But today, Zack changed his usual cold perception of women and love.
In front of everyone, he affectionately confessed his love for Katherine.
And when he was called out for it, he didn't get mad.
Instead, Zack promised to be careful about his personal matters next time.
Zack's admirers were angry about his sudden confession.
They all glared at him as he stood in front of Katherine and Liam.
However, no matter how angry they were, it was clear that Zack had become head over heels for Katherine.
When Katherine heard what Zack said, she remained indifferent.
People kept murmuring under their breaths, envious of how two handsome men were fighting over Katherine.
Liam snorted and turned to Katherine.
"I'll take you to a room where you can rest, okay?" he said and smiled.
After causing so much trouble, Katherine knew that she should be in a place where she wouldn't put more fuel to the fire.
'I should probably wait until things calm down" she thought.
Katherine nodded and followed Liam out of the hall.
Zack stood there and watched Katherine and Liam leave.He began thinking if what he did was right.
Sean saw Zack standing alone, so he went over to the latter and tapped his shoulder.
"Bro, Katherine left already.Let's go," he calmly said.
Hearing Sean's words, Zack looked at the former with a gloomy expression and nodded.
He then turned to go to the rest area.
Sean quickly followed Zack.
Along the way, a waiter passed by, holding a tray full of wine glasses.He took two glasses of champagne and handed one to Zack.
"It’s okay, Zack.Drown your sorrow with alcohol.I promise not to laugh at you," Sean said to comfort his best friend.
Zack gave Sean a stern look, which made the latter shiver in fear.
"I'll drink it myself," Zack said sharply.
After that, he raised his head and drank the two glasses of champagne one after the other.
After drinking the champagne, Zack quickly walked away, looking devastated.
His eyes were dark, and he didn't seem to be in his right mind at the moment.
Sean remembered how Zack stood and watched Katherine and Liam leave.
His eyes widened when he figured Zack might confront them, so he quickly grabbed Zack's arm.
"Zack, where are you going?" Sean asked.
Zack removed Sean's grip from his arm and said, "Get lost, don’t bother me."
It was clear that Zack didn't want anything to do with Sean right now.He wanted to be alone, and yet his friend kept buzzing around him.
But, Sean was diligent and held on to Zack's arm again.
"No, Bro.You have to calm down.This is Liam's territory.Even if we want to do something, we can't do it now.So, please calm down," he panicked.
Because of Sean's grip, Zack stopped walking.
He sighed deeply and gave Seana sharp look.
If looks could kill, Sean would probably be on the floor and in pain.
Sean gulped and raised his hands in surrender.
"Make sure you don't kill anyone!" he said, frightened.
Zack tried so hard not to lash out at Sean. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
He took a deep breath before he spoke, "Can't you leave me alone for once? I just need a moment for myself."
Sean sighed and scratched his head.
"You should have said so earlier.You looked like you wanted to seek revenge.That's why I stopped you," he muttered.
Zack didn't reply and just stared blankly at Sean.
"Alright, alright.You can be alone.I won't disturb you anymore!" Sean said and bit his lip in fear.
Sean then looked at Zack, full of pity.
He felt guilty for stopping his friend, so he left Zack alone.
Zack was all alone in the corridor.
Other quests would pass by occasionally.
But other than that, there was none.
After a while, Zack decided to leave the corridor.
Since this was James’ hotel, he was very familiar with it.
Zack walked until he reached an empty balcony.
As Zack stepped out, he found out that it was drizzling.He closed his eyes as the raindrops hit him in the face, making him feel sober but in pain.
These past few days, he kept remembering the words Katherine said to him when she came with a divorce agreement.
"Yes, I'm divorcing you.And, don't worry, because it’s definitely happening.I also want to tell you that this is your only chance of getting rid of me.Take it or leave it," Katherine firmly said.
At that time, Zack thought Katherine said this to him because she wanted him to treat her better.
What he hadn't realized right away was the fact that Katherine was ready to leave him with no plans of coming back.
Once Katherine left, she would be in a place where Zack would never reach her.
