Chapter 48: Missing Snow?
**************
Chapter 48
~Zara’s POV~
At the mention of that name, I knew once she was Storm’s mother and it angered me more as I was reminded of why I shouldn’t have been with him
in the first place.
I used Snow’s distracted thoughts to my advantage—palmed him, pushing him off me. As soon as he budged, I scrambled to my feet, creating much
distance between us.
"Zar..."
"Master Snow."
Snow clamped his lips shut. He had reached for my hand when he called my name and I yanked back but as soon as his chauffeur spoke, I noticed
the hesitation in his eyes before he folded his fingers.
"Go. You don’t need to be here anyway. You said sleep in my bedroom not staying the entire day with me." I stood up immediately. "You go meet
those who hold your heart. After all, we are nothing but contracted couples from a flash marriage."
My eyes held a certain coldness as I tried to mask my hurt. I was still so stupid and naive with men. But that had to change.
Snow rose to his feet. I couldn’t tell if my words had hurt him or not but I didn’t want to put myself in a situation where I got hurt again.
"Scott."
A soft sigh followed his response. "Master Snow."
"I’ll be there in a minute." Snow turned to face me as his chauffeur’s footstep receded. "Since I’m obviously not wanted here, I’ll be on my way."
His expression was as aloof as his reputation. Picking up his robe, he hung it over his shoulder and walked out of my room.
I tried not to think about anything that happened, so I went into the restroom. I was angry with how wet I had gotten from Snow’s teasing.
"Am I really falling for him?"
It was stupid to ask. I already knew the answer. No.
He was insufferable, annoyingly aloof, a troublemaker, a tease and... I glanced at my reflection in the mirror and noticed a flush on my cheeks.
Every word I mentioned about him, conjured up images of Snow’s past actions relaying the behaviours I’d come to associate with him, and I fucking
blushed.
I shook my head and immediately got undressed. After filling the tub with water and creating bubbles, I stepped in and relaxed.
Whatever Snow had with Storm’s mother wasn’t my cup of tea anymore. I resolved to focus on myself and move ahead with my plan.
Arriving at the company, Taylor was shocked that neither Snow nor I had arrived on time like we used to. Even when she asked about the ’boss’, I
shrugged it off and went into my office, clearly defying his order that I work in his office.
I reached out to Andrew Blake again but before I sent the message, yesterday’s incident replayed in my head. Thankfully, he gave me his business
card when he came before Snow’s interruption.
"Be wise, Zara," I reprimanded myself. "Since Snow isn’t here, getting an approval would be nice."
I reached for the telephone on my desk, ready to make a call when it rang. Instinctively, I answered the call. "The CEO’s office, Zara speaking, how
may I help you?"
A soft chuckle rang out from the other end, followed by a deep breath and a calm voice. "Hello, Zara."
I held my breath, quickly recognising the voice, but I was sceptical. I wouldn’t put it past Snow not to play any games.
"Hello, Mr. Hunt."
"How’d you guess? I know I changed my voice."
"A bit, but I can recognize it still. Though I had my doubts." He chuckled loudly this time around. "How may I help the Vice CEO?"
"Snow." A tad bit of anger flashed in my eyes.
"What about Mr. Zephyr?"
Mr. Hunt scoffed a little. "Professional, huh? Okay, he called concerning a new project deal with Andrew Blake, stating that I meet you to finalise
everything."
"And?" I knew that wasn’t all there was to it. With Snow, there was always something else.
He must have smiled because his next response seemed amusing. "And I’ll be there during every meeting with him."
I resisted the urge to scoff or do worse. Typical attributes of a jealous, possessive man. Urgh! Zara, what the hell did you get yourself into?
"Do not take it the wrong way, Zara," Mr. Hunt’s voice broke the silence. "I bet he’s just..."
"Jealous? Or will you mask it as protection when indeed his is..."
"Possessive," Mr. Hunt cut in, to my surprise.
"Yes."
"He is a man, Zara and it may not be my concern, but I haven’t seen Snow all so involved and disturbed by a lady this way."’
"But you’ve barely seen us together."
"Yes. Still, I have eyes, Zara. Anyways," he continued before I got a chance to refute him, "when can we meet to discuss Mr. Blake’s business?"
"How about now? I was about to call you myself."
"Sure. Come to the office."
"I’ll be there in five. Meanwhile, I’ll forward you the mail I drafted to send to Blakes Industries," I informed him.
"Okay. I’ll be waiting."
The call went dead as I kept the telephone and sighed. Once I was done sending the mail to Mr. Hunt, I picked up my iPad and stylus pen, before
heading out to his office.
Arriving at the floor, I got the usual stare, no one dared utter any rude remarks this time.
By now, my place by Snow’s side had been imprinted in the minds of all the workers as most times we were seen together, especially during business
meetings.

I knocked on Mr. Hunt’s door. Immediately his response came, I turned the doorknob and walked in.
He lifted his eyes from his laptop, focussing on me. "Zara, welcome. Please come in and have a seat."
Our meeting went well, but through it all, my mind kept drifting back to Snow, last night, this morning, and all his teasing, especially our kiss. To the
point where during one of my answers to Mr. Hunt, I had unknowingly mentioned kissing and Snow and I didn’t realise it either.
It wasn’t until he burst out laughing that I knew what went wrong.
"Huh, sir? Did I make a mistake in my presentation?" Mr. Hunt nodded, his face glinting with something. "What is that?" I summoned up the courage
to ask.
"Simple... I just didn’t know discussing with me was that boring all you could think of was kissing Snow."
