“They are wasting everyone’s time with this announcement! It’s just like an unflushed
toilet, full of shit!”
“Shit! His wife has become his ex! It explained everything!”
“He treats her like his sister? They always say that!”
“That’s true!”
It turned out that the Russo Group shouldn’t have made this announcement.
They made this response probably because they feared that their stock price would drop
too little tomorrow, and they wanted it to fall as much as it could!
Bang...
The internal telephone was smashed to pieces.
Simon’s eyes were filled with anger. He growled, “The whole public relations department is fired!”
After Zayla saw the trending topic, her expression was calm. Everything was exactly
what she expected.
After she put down the mobile phone, she began to prepare for the bidding.
The plan that the team made for the bidding was completely dismissed by Zayla, and
they had to start it all over.
The lights in the studio stayed on for several days in a row. She worked with the team
around clock for several days and nights.
On Monday, with the plan, a thick stack, Zayla went to Apricot Hall with the team.
Five years ago, Snow Building was burned by the fire, and the West Building was almost
burned down.
Although it was private property, it was also one of the most famous ancient buildings in Houston. It was Houston’s face, and it
was extremely difficult to repair it perfectly.
Ordinary teams did not dare to take the job at all, so there were only two companies bidding for the project.
One was the famous Russo Group, which had finished three world–famous construction projects, and was almost the number
one in the industry!
The other one was an unknown studio, Twilight Studio. There was nothing to say it except that the Vargas Group was behind it.

“Twilight Studio has only been established for six years, where do they get the courage to compete with us?”
“The client is afraid that our company will become a monopoly, so they got us a competitor. But they should at least get a big
company.”
“Even Mr. Russo has come. We will win for sure. Twilight Studio is just here to go through the motions and get some attention.”
Before the bidding began, the audience was talking non–stop.
Moreover, the bidding would be live–streamed. At this time, the comment section was also laughing at Twilight Studio for
overreaching.
Suddenly, the door on the side of the hall opened!
Wearing high heels, Zayla entered everyone’s sight with the team!
She took off her sunglasses and gently shook her hair. She looked so sassy with her fiery red lips and big bouncy curls.
Everyone was shocked. They nudged each other.
Soon, except for Simon, everyone in the meeting hall was looking at Zayla.
Zayla stayed calm. She walked towards Simon with the team and sat down on his right.
There was an empty row of seats between the two of them.
She said with a false smile. “Mr. Russo, we meet again.”
Over the past five years, Zayla had rarely shown herself in public. The public only knew

that Simon had a wife, but very few people had seen her!
They didn’t recall his wife’s appearance until they saw the trending topic...
Zayla had changed greatly!
Who would have thought that Zayla would look so amazing when she got rid of her glasses, loose clothes, and dull haircut?
Others might not recognize her, but how could Simon, who had been married to her for five years, not recognize her?
When he saw Zayla dressed up like this, he even had the urge to take off his suit and wrap it around her!
His eyebrows were tightly knitted, and there was a full row of seats between them!
But despite the formal occasion, he leaned over and held her wrist to pull her closer.
“Zayla, what tricks are you playing this time?“
