Chapter 45 Chapter 45 Beat Zack took to a salad restaurant, and it surprised"Why are we here?" Lasked.

"It seems that you don't have much of an appetite, you might not be able to handle greasy food," he said while pulling out a chair forbefore pouringa cup of tea.

Itelt better after sipping the hot tea, although my appetite was still lacking in the end, I just ordered a Caesar salad and slowly ate it.

Zack seemed unbothered, and he watchedwith a smile as late. Suddenly, he pulled out a napkin and gently wiped my mouth. I instinctively recoiled, and he immediately withdrew his hand.

"You've got it all over your mouth. You must be pretty hungry," he commented.

Feeling awkward, I took the napkin from him, but a sudden chill ran down my spine.

"Oh, Eva! So, you're not at work because you're on a date with your senior." Lily's mocking voice rang out Trolled my eyes while Zack couldn't help but chuckle.

Lily seemed unsatisfied with my reaction and deliberately linked arms with Leonard as they walked over to us. "Caesar salad? Eva, are you feeling unwell?" she asked. "But since Mr. Boyd's here, I guess there's nothing to worry about, right? but have you forgotten that you're married! coming out like this is really inappropriate." Leonard just stared atwithout saying a word despite Lily's jobbering.

I wiped my mouth and nodded seriously. "Yes, and aren't you two just brazenly walking arm in arm our to dinner?" "Zack and I are just having a meal. There's nothing scandalous about that," I said, marveling at Lily's shamelessness. If I were as shameless as her in the past, then things wouldn't have gone so sour between Leonard and me. Leonard finally spoke up after hearingretort against his sweetheart.

"Eva, watch your words. You're on a date with Zack yourself, aren't you?" Meeting his fiery gaze, I burst out laughing, "What else should I say? Sorry, I'm just a design major with a limited vocabulary. Please pardon me, Mr. Harmon." I picked up my bag and glanced at Zack. "Are you done? Let's go " Zack stood up to join me, but Lily seemed determined to make things difficult forand blocked my path again.

"Eva, you just had a scandal not long ago, and the online gossip was terrible. You should keep a low profile. You and Leonard aren't divorced yet, but here you are with someone else. Do you think you're very charming, or is it." I pointed a finger at her nose and was ready to fire back when I felt a warm liquid trickling from my nose. I knew that I was having another nosebleed It seemed that every tI had chemotherapy, I would have a nosebleed that day. I quickly grabbed a napkin and pressed it against my nose, but the bleeding wouldn't stop.

Zack pushed Lily side and took my hand. "Let's go to the restroom and clean up. Don't worry. It's okay." Looking down, I saw a large red stain spreading across my chest, which madefeel anous. This shirt was a recen a recent get from Emma, worth several hundred dollars. It'd be a real shif the bloodstain couldn't be washed out.

As I contemplated how to quickly get rid of the stain, Leonard stepped in front of me, and it madeeven more annoyed "What's going on? Why do you keep getting nosebleeds?" he asked while trying to get closer, but Zack blocked him.

"Mr. Harmon, you've brought your lover here, so you shouldn't worry about your wife. It's pointless," Zack said before leadingto the restroom, while Leonard was held back by Lily.

"Leo, don't worry. Eva is probably having a nosebleed out of anger because I was right. When I was little, I used to get Nosebleeds all the time. It's nothing," she said in her I annoyingly sweet voice, and I silently wished for her to experience frequent nosebleeds, just like whe

After a while, the bleeding finally stopped, but 1 telt dizzy. Instinctively touched the top of my head, the sensation of losing hair quickly m spappedback to reality. 1lowly pulled away the strands of hair from my hand and felt my tears welling up I'd always been vain, and the Thankfully, Zack didn't notice my hair loss and handeda bottle of water. What's going on? You have low blood sugar and nosebleeds. What did the doctor say?' he asked.

I quickly tossed the hair onto the floor, silently apologizing to the cleaning staff, and then took the water and drank it with seffort.

"It's just heat and low blood sugar. It will take a little tto recover, but I'll be ting," I saki..

"Are you sure?" He looked atskeptically.

I knew my excuse sounded far-fetched, but I nodded firmly. "Who wouldn't be upset when they've been cuckolded? Don't worry about it." My attempt at a joke seemed to convince Zack, who nodded in greent
