His Dead Lover Came Back I Asked for Overtime Pay Chapter 16

The evening breeze couldn’t blow away the strong smell of smoke and alcohol clinging to Zachary.

I looked up at his face, slightly contorted with jealousy, and felt not a flicker of emotion – just amusement.

“Mr. Zachary, that’s a bit harsh.”

I met his gaze without flinching, a mocking smile on my lips.”

What do you mean, ‘seduce’?

I’m on your brother’s payroll.

I provide high-quality companionship.

As for you – ignoring your first love in the lobby and coming to grope your brother’s date?

What would people say?”

“Shut up!” Zachary growled, tightening his grip.

His bloodshot eyes looked ready to pop.

“Stop using my brother to pressure me. Do you really think he’s interested in you? He’s using you to get back at me. Once he gets bored, will you still be living the high life?”

I winced and was about to kick him – in self-defense – when a cold, deep voice rang out behind us. “Let her

go.”

I looked over Zachary’s shoulder and saw Ethan standing by the sliding glass door.

Backlit, his eyes behind his glasses were like icy pools, and he exuded a chilling presence.

Zachary stiffened but didn’t let go. He held me tighter, like a desperate animal.

“Brother, don’t push me. She’s mine. I’ve been supporting her for three years. What right do you have to take

her?”

Ethan walked toward us, his leather shoes tapping on the wood.

“You’re supporting her?”

He stopped and looked down at Zachary with dripping sarcasm.

“Have you forgotten who had her transformed to look like Lynn, and who sent her to your bed?”

Those words hit like lightning, freezing not just Zachary but me too. I stared in shock. I’d always known

Ethan sent me, but I thought it was just an employment arrangement.

Ethan looked at Zachary’s pale face and revealed the truth.

“She was mine from start to finish. I let you have her for three years so you wouldn’t act like a loser over a

dead woman.”

He grabbed Zachary’s wrist and twisted it.

“The lease is up. I’m taking her back. Do you have a problem with that?”
