Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1650

Garrett slumped into a chair, his face the very picture of heartbreak. "Man, I'm in no mood for games right now."

Zavier, barely looking up from his computer screen, replied with a cold, "Then you can just get out."

"Seriously? Is that how you ask for my help with game testing? Now that it's making bank, look at you," Garrett retorted. "Zav, you can't treat people this way. You're gonna end up friendless."

Zavier quirked an eyebrow. "How did you even manage to get a girlfriend with that mouth?"

"Are you kidding? I had a girlfriend because I'm a catch. First off, I'm hot. Secondly, I'm loaded."

Zavier couldn't help but chuckle. "A fine specimen of humanity, and here you are, talking about yourself like you're a piece of merchandise."d2

"I’m just telling the truth, Zav," Garrett shot back, exasperated.

Zavier, done with the conversation, checked his watch, stood up, and headed for the door.

"Where are you off to? Everybody's here breaking their backs testing your game," Garrett called after him.

"Marc and the guys are back at school. We're grabbing a bite to eat," Zavier replied, slipping on his jacket.

"Marcus? Steven? Lucas?" Garrett's interest was piqued.

"Yeah, it's been a couple of months," Zavier said, a hint of excitement in his voice.

Garrett hurried to catch up. "Zav, those guys are legends. Marcus, especially. He's only twenty and has been running the Hartley Group for years, turning it into a global powerhouse."

Marcus, Steven, and Lucas were all students at Capital College, but Marcus had taken over his family's empire even before starting college. Despite rarely attending classes, Marcus managed to top his courses, making his presence on campus a rarity.

Garrett had long wanted to meet these titans of the industry but never found the opportunity. "Zav, take me along. I want to meet them."
