Madam Escaped Again, Sir (Lillian Hawkins and Eric Walker) novel Chapter 80

Zane buckled up with a smile as he replied, “It’s nothing. I simply told her a horror story.”

“Do I look like someone that gullible?” Sonia stared at Zane, rendered speechless by his reply.

After starting the car, Zane wore a defeated expression as he said, “But I’m telling the truth! I can’t do anything about it if you don’t believe in me.

“This is such a pointless conversation.” Sonia rolled her eyes before averting her gaze.

Abruptly, Zane turned to look at her. “President Reed, I just noticed that you bear some semblance to Julia.”

“Huh?” Sonia was slightly dumbfounded. “I look like her?”

“Yeah.”

“How could that be possible?” Sonia shook her head. “Stop joking!”

“I’m not joking. This is serious. The outline of your face and eyes look exactly like her.” Zane nodded solemnly before adding, “Yeah, they look almost identical. People might believe it even if you claim that you’re her daughter.”

It wasn’t until then that Sonia was certain that Zane wasn’t kidding, which startled her. However, she soon regained her composure enough to wave her hand. “Our likeness with each other doesn’t mean much. There’re a lot of people who look alike, so this isn’t that strange.”

“I guess you’re right,” Zane answered. Neither of them took the discovery to heart, so it was soon forgotten.

After that, Sonia lowered the window to allow some cold air to blow on her face. “By the way, I have a question for you.”

“Speak.” Zane was listening to music as he drove, his body swaying to the rhythm of the music.

Rolling her eyes at the irresponsible driver, Sonia asked, “Do you have a friend whose Messenger’s username is Z-H?”

“What did you say?” Due to the loud music, Zane didn’t catch the question at first.

Annoyed, Sonia pinched the space in between her brows before yelling, “Who is Z-H?”

Screech! The car came to a stop after a screeching noise that was produced by tyres sliding across the surface of the road. Both passengers were thrown forward, nearly crashing into the windshield before slamming back into their seats when their seatbelts pulled them backward.

Sonia’s face paled. It took her a moment to recover herself before she turned to face Zane.

In her rage, she slapped him on the arm. “What are you doing?”

Knowing that he nearly caused an accident, Zane released the steering wheel to rub his face. “Cough, cough! I’m sorry. It was my mistake.” / wouldn’t have stepped on the brakes in shock if she hadn’t asked about Z-H though.

Sonia rubbed her temple. “Alright, you should reveal your true identity to Rebecca. I can’t afford to keep a driver like you.” “Please don’t repudiate me just because of a single mistake I made.” Zane watched her smilingly.

Sonia let out a dry chuckle. “Drive then!”

With a shrug, Zane continued driving, but he kept on stealing glances at Sonia. “You were asking who Z-H is, right?”

“Yeah.” Sonia nodded.

Zane scanned his surroundings. “Why do you ask?”

Sonia lowered her gaze to hide the emotions in her eyes before explaining casually, “It’s nothing-He had helped me twice ever since I added him as a friend on Messenger by chance. He told me he’s your friend, so I decided to ask you since I want to know more about him.”

“I see.” Zane dared not even look at Sonia for fear that she might notice how sheepish he seemed. “Although he is a friend of mine, we aren’t that close. I don’t even know his name, since we only had a few drinks together. He has gone abroad now.”
