The very next day, Zach woke up in a good mood. He sat himself at his dining table where his breakfast lay and devoured it all. Everything tasted especially good as he tried a little bit of everything.

The maids were surprised yet pleased when they saw this. Their master usually ate one thing and would have it with his coffee before leaving for work.

"Good morning everyone!" Victoria\'s shout echoed around the house followed by the sound of her heels clicking against the marble floor.

She knew Zach was having his breakfast around that time and so she went straight to the dining hall. She was dressed to the nines as usual.

"Good morning Edmund!" She slapped his shoulder.

"Good morning Madam", he grunted in pain as he caught himself before he could stumble forward from his position but still made sure his master\'s jacket did not fall or crease.

She hummed in response as she sat down on a chair right next to Zach\'s as he had settled on the head seat. Edmund gestured at one of the waiting maids to serve Victoria.

"Just give me some tea, I don\'t want to ruin my makeup", she took out a small mirror from her purse and pursed her lips before releasing them to admire the new red lipstick.

"Zach, what do you think of my new lipstick?" She looked at him.

He sighed and looked up from his meal. It was a hot red color, he wondered how delicious it would look on Amy. She already had juicy plump lips, they were a sensuous sight in their natural pink color. But the thought of ruining it in ways he could not disclose to anyone, he shifted in his seat when his junior started to misbehave. He nodded to himself after coming to a conclusion. Victoria was happy when she saw this.

"I can always count on your honesty", she smiled.

The maid rushed off to prepare her favorite Jasmine tea. Victoria put away the mirror and glanced towards the direction she came from in irritation.

"What are you doing? Hurry up! We don\'t have all day!" Victoria shouted.

The sound of hurried footsteps was heard before the maid rushed back with the tea and served her at the same time Raymond staggered into the dining room with bags and bags of clothes. Zach raised his brows at his mother who gave him a sheepish smile.

"You see, my outfit for the Corporate gala arrived this morning along with a few more outfits I had made. Xavier is not answering his phone and he\'s not home, I have no one else but you. And I can only trust your opinion. I promise not to take much of your time", she gave him a hopeful look.

She knew how busy he was but he was the only one she could turn to when it comes down to rating her clothing choice. Victoria would only feel confident in an outfit if it\'s approved by someone dearest to her, Zach remembered her to always be like this.

"For the gala", he said.

Victoria nodded vigorously. "That\'s the most important one. Raymond, bring my outfit for the gala."

Raymond got to the task right away. He rummaged through the many bags not sure which he was looking for. He still needed to be careful with his Madam\'s babies. Victoria sighed when she saw the man struggle as she abandoned her tea and went to retrieve to herself.

Raymond sighed in relief and stood to the side as she finally held it up for Zach to see. Her face lit up on excitement as she showed it to him.

"What do you think?" She smiled as she held it up against her body.

It was a midnight themed black dress designed in a princess style, long sleeved and with a sweetheart neckline. It had silver and diamond embroidery to give the illusion of a beautiful night graced with shining stars. The detail wasn\'t too much nor too little. It would surely compliment the older woman\'s beauty.

"Looks good", he was genuine with his compliment.

"Right? I have a good eye for these things", her smile had grown wide as she twirled with the dress.

Edmund and the maids thought Victoria was akin to a child in the face of a good outfit. Zach stood up and went to kiss his mother goodbye on the cheek.

"Henry will love it", he said as he left.

Victoria\'s expression turned ugly instantly. Why talk about someone who\'s not there when it will just put her in a bad mood? She felt so irritated but Zach was already gone.

The ride to work was quite pleasant with the time passing as he emailed his wife. How was he never bored with talking to her, he thought in amusement. \'Because it\'s Amy\', he mused. Something about her just drew him to her despite the distance between them. And he didn\'t know if she knew but, his feelings for her were growing everyday.

When he arrived at work, the employees could not help but give a polite bow to the man. His steps were powerful and his aura was commanding as he went on to disappear into his private elevator. When he reached the fifty fifth floor where his office was, his secretary, a woman in her late thirties, was quick to accompany him with a tablet in her hand.

"Good morning, Mr. Frost", she greeted.

Zach gave a hum in response. She was used to this and so proceeded to follow him inside. While the bodyguards dispersed, George joined the two as they entered his office.

"Good morning sir", he greeted and he too got the same response.

Zach went to his seat and took off his jacket to hang it on the back of his chair while George took and remote and pressed it only for the curtains to automatically draw open. Light flooded into the room as the man settled into his seat. The sat created a Halo effect around him that the secretary swooned over him. But she had worked long enough with Zach to know the man was stone when it come to women admiring or pursuing him. She thought of the many times she had given him green lights and it was like she was directing those feelings to a wall.

"Here\'s the schedule for today", she placed the tablet down on the table.

Zach opened a drawer to retrieve his reading glasses before picking up the tablet to read what was on it.

"This morning, you have a meeting with-" she was interrupted by the sound of the door swinging open.

A haggard looking Xavier strolled in and as usual, went to the liquor cabinet. Zach\'s brows drew together in displeasure when he saw this. Xavier had never looked like this before. Seeing his attention elsewhere, the secretary and George also directed their gazes at Xavier.

"My d*ck couldn\'t go up last night", he started with a sigh as he poured himself a drink.

Everyone: "..."

George cleared his throat that gained Xavier\'s attention. The latter only sighed as he took his drink and went to the sofa. He was too depressed to spare any feelings of embarrassment.

"Miss Courtney, why don\'t we come back a little later?" George suggested to which Zach waved them off in approval.

Miss Courtney\'s expression soured as she was practically forced out of the room. She wanted to hear about Xavier\'s late night adventures and also bask in the beauty of the two men. Zach sighed as his brother continued.

"It only worked when I thought of her! Ugh! I\'m a mess man! What is she doing to me?" He groaned in annoyance.

"I thought you\'d say that. I might have good news for you", Zach said.

Xavier immediately sat straight and turned to look at his brother in clear astonishment.

"Really? Did you find her?"
