Chapter 384
Daron barely spared Zara a glance before heading straight out of the cafeteria. Chloe had already arrived with her she would be handling negotiations with the families.
After briefing Chloe, Daron scanned the area. Not seeing Marina anywhere, he immediately frowned.
Garret saw Daron glancing around for someone and immediately said, “Marina said she had to have lunch with the Group shareholders, so she left early. She saw you were busy, so she asked me to let you know.”
Daron nodded slightly and replied calmly, “Got it.”
Just then, the driver pulled up the car and stopped right in front of Daron. Garret reached for the door, but Zara bea it, opening it before he could.
Daron kept talking to Garret as he bent down to get into the car. Garret hopped in next to Daron and brought up the trending online. He pulled out his phone, pulled up a few articles, and handed it over for Daron to see.
Daron listened, gave the phone a quick look, barely reacting to the headlines; his face was totally unreadable.
When Garret claimed the seat beside Daron, Zara ended up closing the door herself and sat quietly up front, looking proper in the passenger seat.
Garret and Daron were deep in work talk, and Zara couldn’t get a word in edgewise. She just sat quietly in the passenge her gaze lowered, silently brooding over everything.
She never expected that the plan she thought was foolproof would end up being snatched up by Marina Now, Marina stock with Daron was probably soaring.
Just as she was lost in her worries, her phone buzzed with a call from Hayley.
Zara glanced at the caller ID, hesitated for a second, then picked up. “Mom, I’m with Daron right now, so don’t worry, said quickly.
She jumped in first, making sure Hayley knew where she was, just in case her mom said something she shouldn’t, Hyde heard Zara and held back from asking for more details, simply responding in a gentle voice
“Okay. Is everything taken care of? Did the families of the injured cause any trouble?”
Zara’s grip on her phone tightened a little as she replied quietly. ‘No. Everything’s under contral)

But she quickly pulled herself together, forcing a small smile as she looked at Daron. “Daron, Mom wants us to come b for dinner. She’s waiting for us,” Zara said softly.
Daron glanced at his watch, his eyes lowered for a moment. He’d been working nonstop since last night and still hadn’t eaten, but he was so caught up in everything that hunger didn’t even register.
Tve got a ton of things to deal with at the office, so I won’t be going back,” Daron said coolly. “Go on without me,” he ad
Zara watched as Daron brushed her off without a second thought. She bit her lip and replied softly. “Alright, I’ll text Mc and let her know we’re not coming back for dinner,” she murmured.
Zara lowered her head, ready to message Hayley. But before she could hit send, Daron spoke up again, his voice low. “Y head back,” he said.
Zara paused, her eyes clouded with confusion as her grip on the phone tightened. “Am I going back by myself?” Zara as] hesitantly.
Daron nodded and said. “Yeah.”
Zara nibbled at her lip, took a deep breath, and looked over at Daron. She said softly, “With everything going wrong with Zamora Group’s project, things are going to be crazy at the company today. Maybe I can help out…”
Before she could finish, Garret cut in, not bothering to sugarcoat it. “That’s exactly why you can’t stick around today. Everyone’s got their hands full, and nobody has time to look after a rookie.
Zara, just go home. Wait until the dust settles here, then you can come back to the office, Garret added, waving her off
Garret just assumed Zara was trying to seize the chance to prove herself. But he didn’t realize that in hectic times like the a newcomer like her was even more likely to make mistakes.
When it came to work issues, Daron was usually strict and uncompromising. If she slipped up, she’d only make Daron me dissatisfied with her.
Garret remembered all too well the flak he caught from Daron when he first started working with him. He could totally understand why Zara, since she was basically the outsider here, was so eager to show she belonged.
But since he’d been in her shoes before, he really didn’t want to see her mess up. Garret figured all the things she did thist seemed off today were just her trying too hard to prove herself.
There was nothing wrong with wanting to prove herself. Seeing Garret answer for Daron, and Dare secting to agree with everything Garret said, Zara just lowered her head in silence, feeling a bit defeated
“Got it,” she murmured. For the rest of the ride, Zara stayed silent and withdrawn in the passenger wat barely making a sound
