“But since you said you splotu, remember what you said
Zara froze for a few seconds, completely caught off guard that Marine hadu’t mentioned it to Daron
She hit her lip, redling, the’d you it all wrong, and her eyes darsed with sudden patic
Just as I thought. Marina is way more difficult to deal with than joyce Zara thought to herself.
With Joyce, Zara cold at least figure out what she was thinking sometimes, and even push her buttons if she wanted to.
Part with Marina, it was like the was totally unreadable. Zara condu’t find a single thing that would make her flinch or show any emotion at an
“Alright Zara replied softly
Seeing that Daron looked like he was done talking to her, Zara quietly turned to head out of his office.
Part just as she was about to leave, Daron called out to her, “Zara”
Zara stopped in her tracks and turned to face Daron, her eyes a little lost and uncertain.
“What’s wrong, Daron the asked
Daron looked up at her, his eyes giving nothing away.
Marina is my wife. She’s my family. You and Hayley are family to me as well. I’m not asking you to be best friends or anything” he said
Zara’s eyes flashed with panic, and the blurted out, “Daron, I never wanted to upset Marina
I’ve always hoped we could be close. This whole thing was a misunderstanding, and I’ll prove it to her with my actions. 1.
But before she could finish, Daron cut her off
“You don’t need to do anything, Honestly, she’d probably prefer if you two stayed out of each other’s way,” he said.
Zara froze on the spot, completely at a loss for words

Chapter 397
Daron didn’t let Zara get another word in, his voice cool and detached as he said, “You can leave now. Since you’re at the office, make sure your mind’s on your work.”
Zara nodded, gave a soft “Um,” and walked out of Daron’s office.
As she reached the door, she glanced back over her shoulder.
She saw Daron holding his phone, editing a message.
Seeing that, Zara bit her lip.
‘Keep to ourselves, huh? So where does that leave Daron? Whose side is he on? Zara wondered.
Zara gritted her teeth, closed the door to Daron’s office, and headed toward the office area.
When Calista saw Zara come back, she looked hopeful at first. But the moment she noticed Zara’s red eyes, all that hope disappeared.
Calista waited until Zara sat down, then scooted over and asked quietly, “What’s wrong, Zara?”
Calista spoke loud enough for everyone nearby to catch what she said.
Marina shot Zara a glance, but Zara shook her head at Calista, quietly sat down at her desk, and started going through her paperwork.
Seeing Zara clearly didn’t want to talk, Calista pulled out a tissue and passed it to her, then sat quietly by her side.
The others saw Zara keeping silent, lost interest, and got back to their own tasks.
Soon enough, the office was buzzing with activity again.
About ten minutes later, Chloe walked into the office area.
“Can I have everyone’s attention for a minute? I have an announcement,” Chloe said.
As soon as Chloe spoke, the busy chatter died down, and the office fell silent.
All eyes were on Chloe now.
Chloe shot a glance at Zara and Calista before she started speaking.
Chloe announced, “Mr. Zamora just signed off on a new afternoon tea perk for everyone.
“So from today on, if there are any snacks or drinks you’d like for afternoon tea perk, let the attendant of the break room know, and she’ll handle the orders.
“And let’s all get along and keep things positive. No more cliques or leaving people out in the office.”
Once Chloe wrapped up, she glanced at her watch and added calmly. “There’s half an hour left before we wrap up for the day.
“Everyone, get back to work and try to wrap things up early so you can head home and relax.”
With that, Chloe left the office area.
Calista watched Chloe leave, looking a little spaced out.

Vil now, even Zara’s position is safe, thought Calista.
Cartes pulled her eyes away from Marina, biting back her frustration. She was more sure than ever. Marina must’ve gotten close to Garnet, which was why she was acting all high and mighty,
Garret was Daron’s cousin, after all. If he said anything to Daron, Daron would always take his side.
Calive thought, ‘No wonder Zara came out of Daron’s office looking all teary–eyed.
Garret must’ve stirred things up with Daron, and now Daron misunderstood Zara and chewed her out.”
It was time to clock out, but nobody in the office made a move to leave,
Everyone kept sneaking glances at Daron’s office,
It was like nobody dared to leave until Daron did.
Marina glanced at the clock, and the moment it hit quitting time, she got up without hesitation.
She strode straight to Daron’s office, knocked on the door as she went, and walked right in.
When Daron saw her peek in, a smile crept across his lips.
“Not going to the Finley Group today?” he asked.
Marina nodded and said, “Nope, I don’t need to go over there today. Emeric has things running smoothly. He makes my life easy;
Marina thought, ‘Of course, sometimes I still have to step in when the shareholders start squabbling.
Especially these days, Carter keeps dropping by the Finley Group.
Emeric can’t push back because of Carter’s position, so it always falls on me to sort things out.
Then, Marina stepped into Daron’s office and asked casually, “Are you staying late tonight?”

Out of now. Marina remembered Calista throwing shade at her earlier.

The Zamora Group never had a shortage of top talent anyway.
