She's Too Busy Winning to Watch Him Cry novel Chapter 280

Lyra was driving Caleb's car today, driving aimlessly, completely unsure of where to go.

Her phone rang right at that moment.

Half an hour later, the car pulled up in front of an elegant tea house.

Zane was sitting by the window, exuding a clean, gentle aura, his eyes mild.

Lyra hadn't expected the Zane she had been talking to for so long...

To be Maisie's half-brother.

Why did she keep getting tangled up with the Jameson family?

Feeling incredibly guilty, Lyra walked over and sat across from him.

"That was fast..." Zane stood up with a smile. "Please, have a seat."

"I was in the area." Lyra sat down, her tone apologetic. "Zane, I'm sorry about yesterday."

"Since I reached out to you, I'm not here to interrogate you." Zane's gaze rested on her downcast face. "Vivienne is Vivienne, I am me. We were never close to begin with. Do you not trust me?"

Lyra looked up, a bit surprised.

"It's not that I don't trust you, it's just... I'm sorry."

"The company has to mitigate risks. Even if I agreed, my brother would never agree to put a competitor's relative in a core department."

Lyra felt even more ashamed, lowering her eyes to hide the bitterness in them.

Zane smiled. "You and your brother are right to be cautious. I should have explained it clearly from the start, it's not your fault."

After all, the original plan was the R&D department. The R&D department held the company's most critical data. The conflict of interest was obvious; no one could easily cross that line.

Zane poured Lyra a cup of hot tea, his voice gentle. "Let's just understand each other."

That's why they clicked.

Rowan even picked genius types for girlfriends; Jasmine's grades were excellent.

Zane said, "Can we still be friends?"

Lyra nodded. "Yeah."

Zane smiled and pulled out a new phone. "This is my new local number. Can we add each other again?"

"Of course."

They exchanged contacts again.

With all the doubts and barriers laid out in the open, things felt much easier.
