Billionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game

Chapter 36 Meeting Cora

Ophelia didn't know if she should be laughing or crying.

Madeleine put her hands around her chest. “Tassach, you've been really good at talking like a bureaucrat since you became the boss. It gives me goose bumps.”

Tassach smiled like a friendly-looking villain. He said, “Dinner will start within a few hours. Why don't you just stay in my office and wait for me to finish work? Dinner's on me today.”

Ophelia said, So I don't have to start working today?”

“It's your first day. I don't want you to do it in a hurry. It's Saturday tomorrow, and your work can wait till next Monday.”

“That sounds great.”

Madeleine said, “Now that you don't have to work now, why not just leave with me now?”

Ophelia frowned and said, “What has got into you today?”

Madeleine rolled her eyes at Tassach and said, “I don't like this man in the room. He polluted the air.”

Ophelia glanced at her and said, “You are an adult, don't be so childish.”

Madeleine took a deep breath and shrugged, “Fine, it's my fault. I'm being unreasonable. I'll shut up, OK?” Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Ophelia was helpless.

Tassach smiled and said, “Madeleine, I should be responsible for what happened back then, and I'd like to apologize to you at dinner. Please give me the chance to express my apology.”

In Ophelia's implicit warning eyes, Madeleine nodded reluctantly.

Garvan Restaurant

Tassach walked in, followed by Ophelia and Madeleine. A young and beautiful waitress walked over, and said, “Mr. Conduibh, your room reserved for you is ready, please follow me.”

The three of them were about to go up with the waitress. However, on their way, they met Zachariah, who was supposed to be on a business. He was with a stunningly beautiful woman, and what shocked Ophelia most was not her beauty, but how much the woman looked like her! To be frank, their temperaments were quite different: one looked as pure as a white lotus, while the other was as pretty and coquettish as a poisonous poppy.

Ophelia was totally shocked. Her hands and feet turned frozen. Madeleine supported her and said tauntingly, “Mr. Chambers! What a surprise! I thought you were out for business. Why are you here with this beauty then? Oh, I know... you lied about the business trip. You're here to date your lover, right? You're a successful businessman, and it is understandable if you have one mistress or two. You don't really have to lie, really.”

Ophelia looked at Zachariah with mixed feelings, and then a decent smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She remained calm and asked, “Mr. Chambers, you've already back from the trip? How should I address this young lady then?”

Zachariah's lips were pursed, and his eyes were fixed on Ophelia.

The beautiful woman next to him asked coquettishly, “Are they your friends, Zach? Are you going to introduce them to me?”

Zachariah came back to himself, and looked at the woman beside with gentle eyes. As he opened his mouth, his tone sounded fierce and cold to Ophelia. “No need. They are just some random friends.”

The woman beside him said again, “I’ve seen the resemblance between me and this lady. Do you get it?”

“Just a little bit, but she is not as beautiful as you.” Zachariah said.

“Zachariah, you ungrateful scumbag! Ophelia is your wife! Since when she has become your 'random friend'?” Madeleine asked.

Staring at Zachariah angrily, she pointed at the woman and continued, “I don't care what your relationship with him is, but stop being like a high school girl in front of me. You're like the typical Angelic bitch in my stories! Stop pretending you know nothing! Let me tell you -- the man beside you had already married someone else. His wife is my friend here! Do you understand?”

The woman looked at Zachariah innocently and said, “What's going on? Are you married?”

Zachariah suddenly looked gloomy. He looked at Ophelia with no emotion in his eyes. “Ophelia, tell your friend to behave herself, or I'll teach her a lesson. Cora is back today for a piano concert.”

With a decent smile on the corner of her mouth, Ophelia stretched out her arms to Cora and said, “So you're Cora? He mentioned you a lot. I shouldn't be surprised that you're so beautiful.”

Since Cora pretended not to know her, she didn't mind dancing with her, too. The woman was an Angelic bitch. Her employer, Zachariah, was trying everything he could to protect her.

The only thing that annoyed Ophelia was the mysterious pain in her heart.
