Contract Marriage With Alpha Snow - Chapter 147

Chapter 147: Told Off Chapter 147: Told Off ************** CHAPTER 147 ~Snow’s POV~ By mid-afternoon, my patience was wearing thin.

The meetings had been endless, and my thoughts kept drifting to Zara.

When I finally returned to my office, I did not meet Zara and ws told she was with my Vice going over things concerning the breach.

Honestly, I did not wish to include her in this mess I caused but Zara was headstrong, doing that which she pleased.

I quickly finished with what I needed to do when a call came in, informing me of my meeting aat the Kai Wonder Pavilion and I left.  I just had a bit of time before I set out on my trip and I wished to have made it count with Zara.

Soon I was in front fo the building of the company,w aiting for my driver to fetch my car when Glacier’s eyes snaped open in my subconscious.  “Someone’s lurking.” I held my ground, suspecting the worse but then my eyes caught sight of the culprit herself, an eyesore if you ask me.  “Jenna,” I said flatly, my irritation barely masked.

“What are you doing here?” She made her way towards me from the corner of the building, keeping her cat-walk straight.  “Snow, I thought we should discuss the trip.

It’s crucial that we’re aligned before the meetings, don’t you think?” I pinched the bridge of my nose, resisting the urge to snap.

The headache gnawed at the edges of my patience.  “Aligned?” I repeated, my voice colder than I intended.

“Everything has already been planned and briefed.

There’s nothing to discuss.” Her smile faltered for a split second before she recovered.

“Well, I thought it might be good to-” “Stop thinking,” I cut in sharply, unable to hide my irritation.

“I have enough on my plate without adding unnecessary conversations to it.” “Snow,” she began, stepping forward as I approached.

I clenched my jaw, already bracing myself for the conversation.

“Jenna,” I said curtly.

“This isn’t the office.

If you have something to say, make it quick.” She matched my pace, her heels clicking against the pavement as she fell into step beside me.

“I wanted to talk about Zara and Taylor,” she said, her tone laced with annoyance.

I stopped abruptly, turning to face her.

“What about them?” “They were incredibly rude to me earlier,” Jenna said, crossing her arms defensively.

“Taylor treated me like some intern, and Zara…

she was dismissive and condescending.

You need to talk to them, Snow.

They shouldn’t be treating me like that.” A bitter laugh escaped me as I shook my head.

“Jenna, what exactly were you doing that prompted them to call you out?” “I was trying to see you,” she said, lifting her chin defiantly.

“I have every right to speak with you.

I’m here as a representative of Jay Enterprises.

They need to understand that.” I stepped closer, my patience wearing thin.

“Taylor and Zara were doing their jobs.

If you crossed a line, that’s on you.

Not them.” Her mouth opened slightly, clearly unprepared for my lack of support.

“Snow, I’m just trying to-” “What do you want, Jenna?” I interrupted, my tone sharper than before.

She hesitated, then squared her shoulders.

“Trly, what I wanted was to discuss the trip.

I think it’s important we strategize together before we leave like I said earlier, that’s if you were listening at all.” “Strategize?” I echoed, a humorless chuckle escaping my lips.

“The strategy is simple: we’re there to finalize the deal.

Everything else is secondary.” “But-” “No buts,” I said firmly.

“The itinerary is set.

If you have questions, bring them up on the flight or during the meeting.

I don’t have the time or the patience for this right now.” Her expression tightened, her frustration higehtened than before.

“Fine,” she said curtly.

“But don’t blame me if things go sideways because we didn’t prepare.” Her cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and she stepped back.

Without dignifying her comment with a response, I turned on my heel and walked to my car.

Sliding into the driver’s seat, I let out a heavy sigh, rubbing my temples before starting the engine, eager to leave the conversation-and Jenna-behind.

This trip was going to be hell.

As the city lights blurred past, Glacier stirred in my mind.

“Keep her far from Zara.” “I intend to,” I muttered under my breath.

************* ~Jenna’s POV~ I watched Snow’s car disappear down the street, my frustration reaching heights I never thought they’d reach.

How could he be so blind?

Clenching my fists, I spun on my heel and stalked back into the building, my thoughts racing.

Zara.

She was the problem.

Always in the way, always acting like she belonged in Snow’s world.

But she didn’t.

She wouldn’t win.

Not if I had anything to say about it.

“She’ll be gone soon enough,” I whispered to myself, a wicked smile curling my lips.

“And then, Snow will see who he truly belongs with.” As I stormed back into the building, each click of my heels echoed my frustration.

Snow’s indifference was infuriating.

How could he dismiss me so easily, especially when I was only trying to help?

“Zara,” I hissed under my breath.

Her name was a thorn in my side, a constant reminder of the obstacle standing between me and what I deserved.  She was everything wrong with Snow’s life-a liability, a placeholder.

And yet, he defended her, shielded her, and, worst of all, allowed her to command attention she didn’t deserve.

I reached the elevator and punched the button, my mind racing.

Snow might be blind now, but I’d open his eyes soon enough.

“He’ll see,” I muttered, glaring at my reflection in the elevator’s mirrored walls.

“Zara doesn’t belong in his world, but I do.

I’ll make sure she’s out of the picture.

Permanently.” The elevator doors slid open with a soft chime, and I stepped out into the lobby.

My phone buzzed in my bag, and I pulled it out, glancing at the screen.

A text from my father: Jenna, don’t forget the stakes of this trip.

Handle it properly.

We’re counting on you.
