Chapter 64 What Is Simon Thinking?

There were rows of seats at the venue. The seats were ranked according to the financial resources of the groups and were with labels on their backs, making it easier for everyone to find seats.

The seat for the Vargas Group was located in the middle of the first row.

Zayla sat down under everyone’s gaze.

The rumor that she had been abandoned by Stephen was instantly dispelled.

“Look! She is sitting on the seat reserved for the Vargas Group. Stephen asks her to be here on behalf of the Vargas Group?”

“Stephen is resolute in doing things when it comes to business. I can’t believe that he is bewitched by this woman.”

Several men in suits combed their waxed hair with their hands and looked at Zayla’s straight, beautiful back.

“Well, gorgeous women are the best. Look at Zayla. She looks both innocent and wild. Of course, every man wants to have some fun with her.”

“What was Simon thinking? Why would he abandon such a charming beauty? Why would he prefer Norah, that babe in the woods?”

“Hey, silent! Simon is here.”

“What? I thought he didn’t do things like attending investment promotion conferences.”

Just as everyone was discussing, Simon entered the venue.

His aura was extraordinary and overbearing, and everyone fell silent.

He walked through the red-carpet aisle, walked to the first row, and sat next to Zayla.

The seat reserved for the Russo Group was on the right of Zayla’s seat.

She had seen it when she was looking for her seat.

She thought, how come I bump into this asshole everywhere? I’m so unlucky.

On second thought, Simon has never been interested in investment promotion conferences. He always has his assistant manager or special assistant attend to these things.

Why is he here today? Is it a coincidence?

Is it also a coincidence that our seats are so close?

How can there be so many coincidences in the world?

Zayla gritted her teeth, her fair knuckles tightening as she gripped her dress.

If it weren’t for the fact that she was in public, she would have grabbed the chair next to her hand and thrown it at Simon!

Simon noticed her movements and whispered gently, “Darling, don’t be nervous.”

Zayla was dumbfounded.

She thought, who says I’m nervous?

And who is his darling?

Zayla took out the divorce certificate from her bag, opened it, and handed it to him.

“Great wits have short memories. Mr. Russo, take a closer look at the divorce certificate.”

Simon’s eyes flickered, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

The words “divorce certificate” hurt both his eyes and his heart.

More than once, he wanted to tear it apart.

He regretted it so much. If he hadn’t agreed to divorce, they still would have been married, and maybe everything would have been different.

“Why do you have it with you?” Simon stared into Zayla’s eyes with extremely complicated emotions.

“To keep me alert,” Zayla said calmly.

“About what?”

“Don’t get close to men. It’s bad luck,” she said, still sounding indifferent.

As soon as she finished speaking, she glanced at Simon and then put the divorce certificate back into her bag.

Simon suddenly clenched his fists, which were on his thighs, and a strong sense of suffocation enveloped him.

“Zayla, give me another chance. I won’t let any bad luck come close to you,” he promised.

Zayla’s heart trembled. If it were in the past, she would have been moved.

Yet now, she was expressionless and indifferent.

She raised her eyelids and was just about to speak when she noticed a graceful figure.

She thought, well, well. The home wrecker can’t wait to be here.

She sneered, turned her head, and whispered to Simon..
