Zach quickly regained his composure. Taking a closer look, he realized that aside from Wendy's tear-swollen eyes, there wasn't a single scratch on her. His brow furrowed deeply as he withdrew his hand.

I still feel weak today, that's why I-" "You seem to have plenty of strength when making excuses. Doesn't look like you got hit at all." Zach brushed her hand away and stood up, his expression remaining indifferent.
Tears welled up in Wendy's eyes, but he didn't spare her a glance. Without an audience, they meant nothing. She pressed her lips into a tight line, not daring to push her luck any further. Meanwhile, Zach walked straight toward Serena.
"Serena, I know you wouldn't really hurt Wendy. About yesterday—" "Stop right there." From a distance, Serena observed him before signaling for the parking lot security guard to cover. "I have nothing to say to you. I'm in a hurry for work and don't have tto waste on this nonsense." "But, Serena-" "Mr. Foster! Ms. Jansen has made it clear she doesn't want you near her.

"I pushed the meeting back by 10 minutes for you. Did something happen on the way?" she asked.
"Just sstubborn pests I couldn't shake off. Thanks for the extra time. Let's go." Serena took a deep breath, pushing aside all thoughts of Zach and Wendy before stepping inside.
