Chapter 333 Mr. Murray, Passionately Moved
Zackary's expression froze, who was having a baby with Everett?! This round and chubby director, was there a hole in his head?!
No matter who had a hole in their head, he could not possibly let Penelope hug and kiss Everett today!
"Everett, dance!" Zackary commanded with a stern face, as if Everett owed him billions.
"Zackary, I've told you, I'm not into you!" Everett wasn't oblivious to Zackary's feelings, and he didn't want to fall out with his good friend. However, love is unpredictable and deep, and he could no longer control his feelings for Penelope.
"Everett!"
The director saw Zackary gripping Everett's arm tightly, he was so anxious that he was almost in tears.
Cornelia had done him a favor, but now, her precious son was going off the rails on his show, and he couldn't get him back on track. How was he supposed to explain this to his benefactor!
"Mr. Zackary..."
Choking back tears, the director began, "Mr. Murray has already said, he's not into you, you... you should change your target!"
"Mr. and Mrs. Spencer were so eager to hold their grandchild, even if you didn't consider for yourself, you should have considered for them!"
Listening to the director's words, Zackary was exasperated. He had already made his parents hold their grandchild! In his lifetime, it was impossible for him to have children with anyone else. It was very likely that Ethan was his only child in this life.
Richard looked around, he was just about to say, "Ms. Hilliard is so wonderful, she's beautiful and can have children with you," when Lyman walked up to Zackary with a beaming smile.
"Zackary, do you want to dance so much? Everett still has to accompany my Penelope. If you want to dance, I'll dance with you!"
Saying this, Lyman shamelessly reached out to grab Zackary's wrist, his face full of smug smiles, "Were you jealous when Everett and Penelope were dancing just now? Did you also really, really want to kiss and hug and be lifted high by someone else?"
"Come on, Zackary, I was with you!"
Lyman, being the prankster he was, wouldn't miss the rare opportunity to annoy Zackary when he finally found one.
He deliberately pouted his lips high, about to lean into Zackary.
The director watched this scene in disbelief, wanting to cry but unable to shed a tear.
What exactly was the situation?
Mr. Zackary liked Mr. Murray, but Mr. Lyman had a soft spot for Mr. Zackary.
What kind of love polygon was this?!
How could the relationships between the big shots be so messy? He didn't understand!
Zackary was truly annoyed by Lyman. Seeing the man pouting and constantly making faces at him, he felt a severe discomfort in his stomach.
He suppressed the urge to kick him away, turned his face to the side, and no longer looked at his face that was almost squeezed into a ball.
The director felt that the abusive love between the big shots was truly terrifying, and he urgently wanted to mediate.
Seeing Lola standing aside, his eyes lit up instantly.
He no longer called her Ms. Hilliard, he affectionately began, "Lola, Mr. Zackary seems to really want to dance tonight, you should go dance with him!"
After saying this, Richard quickly turned to Zackary and said, "Mr. Zackary, Lola is here to dance with you! I've seen Lola dance, she dances so well. With her accompanying you, you will definitely have a great time tonight!"
Lola really wanted to dance with Zackary. Plus, his behavior just now had made her feel really embarrassed. She was eager to turn the tables and let everyone know that she was the one in his heart.
Lola moved gracefully, full of charm, and approached Zackary, "Zackary, shall we dance?"
Zackary frowned, his goal for tonight was to prevent Penelope from dancing with Everett. Who was going to dance with her?!
Moreover, if he really wanted to dance, he only wanted to dance with Penelope.
Not only did he want to dance with her, but he also wanted to wildly lose himself in her, just like that night many years ago.
Seeing Zackary not even glance at her, Lola's heart filled with increasing embarrassment. She gritted her teeth in secret, glared at Penelope resentfully, then put on a gentle and delicate smile, saying, "Zackary, please, would you dance with me?"
"Everyone was watching us, Zackary. I have my pride too. Don't embarrass me like this, okay? Everyone thought that you didn't care about me at all, that your sister was the only one in your heart. It really hurt me when you acted like this."
Zackary's frown deepened, he was unwilling to admit that Penelope was the only one in his heart.
Moreover, upon reflection, he did indeed embarrass Lola today.
Thinking of how Lola had sold a kidney to save him, and had suffered so much humiliation, yet he was not only unable to give her his true heart, but also struggled to maintain even a facade of affection with her, he was suddenly filled with guilt.
"Lola, we danced!"
When Zackary said this, his gaze was firmly locked on Penelope's small face. She liked to dance with other men, he could also dance with other women!
He, Zackary, could indeed survive without her!
The more Zackary thought, the darker and more terrifying his expression became. He grabbed Lola's arm tightly, gritting his teeth as he walked towards the center of the makeshift dance floor.
Lola was overjoyed, she rubbed against Zackary, wishing she could stick to him like putty.
The director was overjoyed when he saw Lola succeed. How pleasing it was to see handsome men and beautiful women dancing together!
One pair was already a feast for the eyes, if three pairs were to appear together, the ratings would surely explode!
"Mr. Murray, you and Mr. Kemp should also hurry up and dance with your partners!"
Seeing Lyman standing alone, looking like a pitiful lone wolf, Richard's heart instantly filled with compassion. "Mr. Lyman," he offered, "how about I jump with you?"
"Alright then!"
Lyman was delighted to help Richard lose weight. He cheerfully led the rotund Richard into the dance floor, where everyone was dancing wildly.
Everett and Penelope were undoubtedly the most in-sync pair. Zackary's gaze was fixed on Everett's hand as if it were glued there, as if the slightest touch to Penelope would send him rushing over to chop off his hand.
Because he was too distracted, Zackary kept stepping on Lola's foot.
Today, Lola wore thirteen-centimeter high heels, and Zackary kept stepping on her. She didn't feel the slightest bit of sweetness, only feeling as if the bones in her feet were about to break.
No matter how much it hurt, she had to, present herself as gentle, elegant and noble, conquering the man in front of her with the most charming smile.
Just when Lola felt she was about to be trampled into disability, the director finally announced the end of the dance. The three guests were free to return to their respective rooms for rest.
Thinking about sharing a room with Zackary that night, Lola was over the moon.
Upon hearing the director's words, a surge of anger instantly erupted from Zackary.
Penelope and Everett, sleeping in the same suite, closed the door and turned off the light, doing as they pleased.
They were dreaming!
