When Zephyr came over with her phone, Sophia didn’t want to take it, but with so many people watching, she had no choice but to reach out and accept it. She wiped the phone screen and said, “Thank you.”
“Don’t mention it. It’s not a big deal,” Zephyr said with small smile. His gold–rimmed glasses shimmered. with a captivating metallic sheen.
Sophia asked indifferently. “What brings you here?”
“I heard the view around here was quite nice, so I came to clear my mind. I didn’t expect to run into you.”
Sophia cast him a dubious glance.
Zephyr turned his head to glance at the thief pinned down by a passerby on the ground. He then took out his phone and dialed 911 to report the incident.
After hanging up the phone, he said, “The police will be here soon, let’s wait here for a bit.”
Lenora quickly strode over. “SugarSoph, are you all right?”
Sophia assured, “Don’t worry, you guys go ahead. Once the police arrive and take my statement, I’ll meet up with you.”
“What is he doing here?” Lenora glanced at Zephyr standing next to her.
Sophia rolled her eyes, shooting Zachary a glance. “He claimed he came here to clear his mind, but who knows!”
Zachary, the subject of the insinuation, remained calm, lifting his gaze to glance at Zephyr.
For a fleeting moment, their eyes met. Zephyr then averted his gaze, letting it fall upon Sophia. Zachary also shifted his gaze and offered a meatball to Harrietta in his arms.
Lenora understood. “Then I’ll wait here with you.”
“No need, we’re already pressed for time. You should go ahead with the cultural excursion.
“Give me a call once you’re done.”
“Okay,”
Lenora turned to Zachary and said, “Let’s go.”
As the two crossed paths, Zephyr caught a fleeting glimpse of Zachary’s profile and felt a sense of familiarity wash over him as if he had seen his face somewhere. However, the familiarity wasn’t due to any resemblance between Zachary and Ezekiel.
Yet he couldn’t recall where he had seen it before.

Chapter 283 A Relentless Nuisance
Perhaps a brief encounter when Zachary was on a business trip abroad.
Zephyr watched as the two departed, casually asking. “Is that Zachary Fuller, the newly appointed chairman of the Fuller Group?”
“Yeah
“Didn’t they get a divorce?”
“Yes, they’re divorced, but Zachary is similar to a relendess nuisance that won’t let go, Sophia said wistfully.
Ignoring Zephyr’s expression, she went over to the two men, holding the thief, and thanked them. She offered to treat them to a meal once they’d given their tatements.
One of the men remarked, “No need, this is not a big deal. If you ask me, you should treat that young man to a meal. Without him, we might not have been able to catch the thief.”
Sophia glanced back at Zephyr, smirked, turned around, and reassured with a smile, “Don’t worry, Ill make sure to treat him to a meal. You two should come along as well.”
“It’s fine. You don’t need to.” The two men waved their hands in refusal.
Sophia headed to the supermarket in the scenic area and purchased some water and gifts for the two men.
Before long, the police arrived. They collected surveillance footage and took statements from a few individuals. Then, they escorted the thief away.
Sophia watched as they walked away, releasing a sigh of relief. She called out to Zephyr, turned around, and started to walk away. As she walked, she dialed Lenora’s number. “Everything is good now, I’m leaving
“Wait.”
“Anything else?”
“Didn’t you just say that you’re going to treat me to a meal?”
“When did I ever-” Sophia began, her words trailing off as her memory surfaced. Her expression. darkened slightly. “I was talking to the men, so you don’t have to take it seriously.”
“But, I did.”
Meeting Sophia’s displeased gaze, Zephyr responded with a slight smile, adding, “I’ve already decided what I want to eat. As the esteemed young miss of the Tortell family, you won’t be stingy and take back your offer, right? Besides, they haven’t gone far.
She gritted her teeth. “Fine, I’ll treat you since you insist.”
“Nora. I’m going to treat Yankovich to dinner now, so I won’t be joining you. We’ll talk after dinner.”
“Don’t worry.”
After hanging up the phone, Lenora slipped her phone back into her pocket and picked up her camera, directing it at Zachary and Harrietta, who were a few meters away. “Come a little closer… Yes, just like that! Smile… Perfect!”
Zachary wasn’t fond of taking photos, yet Harrietta insisted on having her photos taken with him.
Lenora was taken aback for a moment, raising an eyebrow as she glanced at him. “What makes you say that?”
“His eyes and facial features.”
The two of them took their seats across from each other, and the waiter approached with the menu. “What would you like to order? With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, our restaurant has recently introduced a couple’s special. It’s good value for money. Would you two like to give it a try?”
