Zena had been waiting at home for a long time. Finally, she saw her father come back.
She jumped up from the sofa in a hurry and ran to him, "Dad!" She took her father's arm, "How is it? Did Jimmy agree? I can still work as a designer, right?"
Her father glanced at her with his face darkened and didn't say anything. Then he broke away from her hand and walked to the sofa.
Seeing this, Zena was a little nervous. She followed him hesitantly and said cautiously, "Dad, what's wrong with you? Are you in a bad mood? Or... did Jimmy anger you?"
"Humph!" Zena's father snorted, "Aren't you ashamed to ask me?"
Zena frowned slightly, "What happened, dad?"
"What happened?" Zena's father looked at Zena with very complicated feelings.
He had never thought that his daughter would do such a vicious thing. It was a matter of honesty morality. Zena not only did that but also deceived him, which made him feel ashamed in front of his junior, James.
However, no matter how mad he was, Zena was his only daughter. He must care about her and solve this problem for her, otherwise, he would blame himself.
Although he had asked Zena and knew that she liked James, he knew that it was impossible for her and James to be together, because James's attitude was too bad. It was because of Zena that the relationship between him and James became so awkward.
"Don't you know why? Zena, you have always been obedient and sensible, but you..." Zena's father closed his eyes and said with a complicated feeling, "Jimmy's wife was kidnapped. Do you know how shocked I was when I heard the news? Zena, you are a good girl. How could you do such a silly thing?"
Zena's face turned pale when she heard that.
She didn't tell her father about the consequences caused by her. On the one hand, she was too embarrassed to say that. On the other hand, she didn't want her father to be disappointed with her. She thought that James would not tell her father about it.
Well, even if there was only a slim chance, she would feel better if James didn't say it.
Ha-ha...
But Jimmy told her father everything.
Her father must be very embarrassed in front of James, but at this time, she felt more awkward. After all, she had always been the pride of her parents.
But she couldn't care about her dignity. After all, they were her parents. Even if she lost face, others didn't know about it. Her career was what she cared about the most.
"Dad..." Zena bit her lip, "I'm sorry that I didn't tell you about it before, because I didn't know how to say it."
"What? You..." Zena's father wanted to lose his temper, but when he saw Zena's teary eyes, he forced himself to calm down, "Zena, if you had told me everything clearly, I wouldn't have been embarrassed in front of Jimmy. I don't care about my dignity, but if you had told me this earlier, I could have thought of other ways instead of going to find Jimmy."
He had known that Zena did that on purpose, but he couldn't tell James his real thoughts. He could only use the excuse that Zena was drunk, and she didn't mean it.
However... it didn't work.
"What's more, you only told me that Elizabeth was Jimmy's girlfriend. Why didn't you tell me that she was his wife?"
