Hearing Elizabeth's words, Zena couldn't help but look at James, feeling a little embarrassed.
Just now, she asked James to watch his wife carefully. She meant that Elizabeth was not loyal to him and had some improper intentions towards Xavier.
But Elizabeth said those words so frankly. It's like a slap in the face.
Although James was somewhat dissatisfied with Elizabeth's proposal, he did not dare to express his dissatisfaction. Moreover, when did he say that he wanted to treat them to a meal?
However, when Zena was looking at her, he was also glancing at her with sarcastic eyes.
Zena's heart trembled. She was panicked in an instant. She frowned but then smiled gently. However, her smile was very unnatural. "There's no need. I just pass through on my way to deal with something. I have to go there."
Hearing this, Elizabeth did not persuade her to stay. With a smile, she said, "Oh, it's more important to deal with your business."
Zena nodded, "Then... I'll leave first."
Elizabeth turned around, pulled James's hem, and said, "James, go and see off Zena."
James immediately frowned, and he looked very unwilling.
Zena was a little embarrassed, but she smiled at Elizabeth drily, "Elizabeth, Jimmy, I'll go first. Bye!"
James narrowed his eyes and snorted, "You should have left since a long time ago!"
Zena's face turned pale. She held the lunch box more tightly and felt so annoyed and awkward.
There were only two of them just now and James didn't show her any respect, but he still treated her so rudely when Elizabeth was here. Zena's colour on her face came and went, and she was so ashamed.
Elizabeth slightly pursed her lips, but she didn't blame James like before. Instead, she said to Zena with a smile, "Zena, he may be hungry. You know that he's bad-tempered when he's hungry. Let me see you off."
Zena rejected Elizabeth's good intentions and ran away from James's office with a complicated mind.
When the door was closed, there were only James and Elizabeth in the room.
Elizabeth looked in the direction of the door and pursed her lips, not taking the lead to speak.
James secretly looked at Elizabeth. He didn't know whether she was mad or not, but he couldn't stand this kind of uncertain and nervous feeling. After thinking about it, he took another step toward her, braced himself, and touched her arm lightly, "Honey..." His voice was soft as if he was afraid of scaring her.
Elizabeth lowered her eyes and glanced at his hand. She ignored him and turned to walk to the reception sofa.
James cried in his heart. It seemed that Elizabeth was really angry, but why did she say those words to Zena just now?
He frowned, and then quickly walked to her and sat down beside her. He poked her arm with his hand, "Honey, why don't you speak?"
Elizabeth glanced at him,
smiled but rapidly swallowed it, "What should I say?"
Seeing that she finally talked to him, James breathed a sigh of relief, "Anything you like. Anyway..." He thought for a moment, "You must talk to me."
"I don't want to talk to you!" Elizabeth snorted coldly.
