Love Mission: Ex-wife Strikes Back

In all honesty, Peter's pretentious cool guy act really didn't give Zoe any good impression of him.

But this was the first time they met after all. She thought that these ill feelings were just her prejudice against him, so she held herself back and tried to remain civil.

At that moment, Jean finally remembered her purpose. She smiled and said, "Oh, I forgot to introduce you two. Mr. Huang, this is Zoe Lin that I mentioned to you before. She's my father's secretary. What do you think? Isn’t she gorgeous?"

"Yes, she is." Peter's gaze was fixated on Zoe. Jean hadn't lied to him. Although Zoe was a little too old for his taste, she was indeed pretty and had a good figure.

"Zoe, this is Peter Huang. He runs an advertising company. Although it's just a small company, it has a very good income. His wife passed away quite a while ago, and he has a fifteen-year-old daughter. If you can give him a chance, he'll definitely be a good man for you." Jean then turned toward Peter. "Am I right, Mr. Huang?"

some reason, Barton couldn’t help but feel proud. "You’re right. She's gorgeous."

It was such a simple compliment, but it still made Zoe blush.

In this private room, Jean seemed to be the only one actively trying to brighten the atmosphere, while Barton and Zoe seemed to have sunk into an awkward silence. As for Peter, seeing Barton diverted his thoughts from the beauties in front of him.

He could see that the relationship between Barton and Zoe was unusual. If he could get Zoe, he might get a chance to cooperate with Barton in the future. With that idea in mind, he kept trying to impress Zoe during the meal. He even shelled some shrimps and put them in her bowl.

When Peter did that, Zoe felt a burning gaze fixated on her. She looked up, only for her eyes to come into contact with Barton's.

In fact, she was quite disgusted with the way Peter acted. She didn't know what came over her, but when she saw Barton staring at her like that, she smiled at Peter and said, "Thank you, Mr. Huang."
