Chapter


    82


    Zane had always been very stern and professional in thepany, and he had never dated anyone before.


    Infact, everyone thought that he was a workaholic who couldn''t fall in love!


    Yet, not only did he bring a woman to his sacred office, but he also allowed her to sleep inside


    Besides, because of that woman, Eric had to lower his voice


    After looking at the partition, Eric stared at Zane. If the woman was sleepy during the day, it meant that she hadn''t slept well the previous night. She must have been ''tortured'' by Zane at night!


    As he thought of that, a smile crept on Eric''s face. However, when he looked at the cold expression on Zane''s face, he controlled himself.


    Then, Eric continued talking to Zane about work in a hushed voice.


    Thetter listened to him patiently. Once Eric was done talking, Zane passed a few documents to him. "I approve of these projects." Eric took them without ncing at them. "Okay."


    In theirpany, everyone was treated fairly-the person who came up with the project woulde up with a proposal.


    Once it was approved, they would be in charge of the project and execute it.


    Since Zane had approved them, Eric said, "Ms. Weston wants to meet you tomorrow morning at thepany."


    Usually, Eric would reject those phone calls.


    Yet, she was his blind date, Sasha Weston


    Since Eric didn''t know what would happen to the blind dates, he didn''t dare make a decision for Zane.RêAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only


    "Tell her I have no time to meet her." Once again, Zane had resumed working hard and was focused on his documents. Since Eric thought that he didn''t know who the other party was, he said, "She told me that you met her yesterday" There was only one woman who met him at that point in time.


    Thedy''s identity seemed very obvious.


    Meanwhile, Zane looked up.


    Eric continued ufortably, "She wants to ask if you would continue dating her in the future."


    Zane replied indifferently, "I don''t want to date her, so we won''t have to meet anymore."


    After getting a confirmation, Eric nodded. "Okay, I tell her that."


    "Alright"


    After that, Zane motioned for him to leave.


    Huxham Corporation was argepany, and it was the best in the industry.


    At that moment, things were progressing smoothly.


    Logically speaking, Zane shouldn''t be busy working at this point.


    However, he was ambitious and wanted to start a newpany to venture into other industries...


    As such though his employees could ck off a bit, he had to think about the future of his newpany.


    The threats and ways to solve them had to be considered


    Zane needed to work. However, after thinking for a long time, he decided to call his mother.


    He wanted to tell her the was very busy and had no time to date.


    So, she shouldn''t arrange blind dates for him anymore.


    At the same time, he ho


    hoped that she would tell those blind dates not to contact him anymore since they were unable to meet.


    As Zane didn''t want to disturb Annalise, he walked out of the room and called Rowena.


    2/2


    "Why don''t you want to meet her?" thetter asked.


    After Sasha had been rejected by him, sheined to Rowena about it.


    Zane asked calmly, "Didn''t she tell you about it? She only agreed to date me if I didn''t bring Willow with me."


    "Willow is your brother''s daughter," Rowena replied. "Sasha is young, so it''s normal for her to be unwilling to be a stepmother."


    Since everyone who was the same age as Zane was married, she became anxious.


    "Once you start dating her, I''ll take care of Willow by myself."


    "That''s impossible," Zane answered firmly. "Mom, I won''t sacrifice Willow for anyone else."


    Rowena retorted worriedly, "If no one is willing to ept Willow into their lives, will you remain unmarried forever?"


    "That could happen," Zane admitted.


    This made Rowena furious. "Zane! Do you want me to die from anger?"


    "No." At the same time, Zane knew that once he gave in, his family members would use the same tactic and force him to do more for them Chapter 81


    Zamecouldn''t back down


    Rowena raised her voice. "Zane, remember, you''re no ordinary person. You are in charge of arge corporation!


    "If you don''t get married and have kids, who will inherit yourpany in the future? Will it belong to Willow?"


    Zane replied calmly, "Yes"


    This made Rowena''s head hurt. "But she has autism! She doesn''t dare to talk to others. If you hand thepany over to her, it will go bankrupt soon after!"


    But Zane disagreed. "Firstly, her autism will improve slowly.


    "Next since I want her to inherit mypany, I''ll nurture her well,


    "Don''t worry about that"


    As Zane kept retorting, Rowena cut to the chase. "I won''t allow it! Zane, if you


    still view me as your


    our mother, you have to get married!


    ""Ms. Weston seems like a nice person.


    She gradually spoke quickly. "I told her to find you at your office today. Why don''t both of you interact with one another?"


    Zane said, "No. I''m too busy for that


    "I won''t meet any blind dates that you''ve arranged for me."


    Then, he hung up immediately.


    Since Zane was growing older, Rowena became anodious that he didn''t have a girlfriend.


    Meanwhile, Zane had followed his mother''s instructions in the past.


    Yet, atter


    them


    met more women and experienced more blind dates, he gave up.


    Those who were of simr status as him didn''t want to be a stepmother.


    Besides, those who didn''te from a good family might mistreat Willow.


    Apart from that, Willow wasn''t willing to talk to others back then. So, if others had bullied her, sh she wouldn''t tell him.


    Zane couldn''t bear to let Willow suffer any injustice, so he stopped thinking of marriage from then on.


    After that, Zane opened his office door and walked into the partitioned area. He observed Annalise, who was sleeping soundly.


    She had no makeup on and her hair was tied casually. Her gentle and elegant face looked very pretty.


    Most importantly, Annalise had a good temper and treated Willow like a daughter.


    In fact, Zane sometimes felt that it would be great if she didn''t find another partner one day.


    If that happened, they would live together forever.


    Although there was no love between them, their life would be peaceful, right?


    When I woke up from my nap, I checked the time and realized that it was 10:00 am.


    I still had enough time to work on myic....


    After logging on to many social media ounts, I posted my drawings online. Following that, I switched off the inte and ced my phone aside. I continued drawing myes Living with Willow was peaceful and heartwarming every day.


    If I could, I would draw all my interactions with her.


    *Did you post youric already?" Zane stood at the entrance of the partitioned area.


    I turned around. "I posted it."


    Zane nodded. "I am hiring people to advertise yourics. I think your advertising department will be established in one week."
