Contract Marriage With Alpha Snow - Chapter 150

Chapter 150: Business Trip Chapter 150: Business Trip ************** CHAPTER 150 ~Snow’s POV~ After arriving at Starbringe Ville, I did my best to avoid and evade Jenna, looking for my peace of mind.  But the next day I knew that would be impossible and prepared myself for her trouble.  The conference room of the hotel buzzed with energy as every representative there had their minds filled with decisions that could shape the future of the company.  Representatives from our European partners sat around the sleek table; their sharp suits and calculating eyes were a testament to the power dynamics at play.

I stood at the head of the table, addressing their questions with ease, every word measured, every proposal designed to seal the deal.  Across from me, Mr.

Archer, the head of the delegation, nodded thoughtfully, his steely gaze fixed on me.

Jenna, seated a few chairs away, was uncharacteristically quiet, though her eyes never left me.

She chimed in only when necessary, her words perfectly aligned with mine.

If she were trying to impress me-or them-it was working.

“As you can see,” I concluded, gesturing to the presentation displayed on the screen, “this partnership offers both parties a significant competitive edge in the market.

A win-win.” Mr.

Archer exchanged a look with his team before leaning forward, his hands clasped.

“You’ve made a compelling case, Mr.

Zephyr.

We’re prepared to sign the agreement now, rather than waiting for tomorrow.” Relief coursed through me, though I kept my expression neutral.

“That’s excellent news.” A ripple of approval spread through the room as the documents were brought out and signed.

But just when I thought this peaceful joy could last, Jenna clapped lightly, her excitement barely contained.

“Gentlemen,” Mr.

Archer said standing.

“This calls for a celebration.

A small one, of course.

Let’s toast to our future success.” I hesitated for a moment but nodded.

The faster this wrapped up, the sooner I could get back to Zara.

“Tonight, I am personally hosting this celebration; please come out everyone and let’s have a nice toast to the future of our companies.” “Yes!

I love parties,” Jenna chimed, looking gleeful as she dipped her head in respect to Mr.

Archer.  Tsk.

It was good for me.

Let her merry herself away and leave me be for the night.

All I need to do is book an early flight for my departure this evening.

I better send a text to Scott or Taylor.

No sooner had I said that than someone cleared his throat beside me, prompting me to lift my head.  “And as our lead partner, I hope you will do us the honour by gracing the occasion, Mr.

Zephyr.

It would show our progress and good faith towards this project.” I halted, completely caught off guard by his request.

Putting on the best smile, I nodded.

“Sure, I’ll be there.” *************** ~Zade’s POV~ The engine purred softly as I navigated the winding roads toward Snow’s mansion.

I knew Snow would be mad with me for not giving him so much of my time, but it wasn’t my fault.  I was on to something, and I wanted things to be a secret until I was sure.

Earlier on, I had told Andrew I would spill the beans, but now, even as I drove, my nerves were against me and the weight of the truth pressed heavily on my chest, each mile bringing me closer to Zara.

I gripped the steering wheel tighter, my thoughts racing.

It was time to tell her everything.

She deserved to know the truth about what I’d been hiding.

But just as the mansion came into view, my phone buzzed insistently.

“Mother,” I muttered, seeing her name flash on the screen.

I instantly slowed down and turned the car off the road as I answered the call, “Mum.” “Zade,” her warm voice came through.

“Hello, son.

I got your message.” “Mother, I didn’t think you’d be free to want to meet in person.

It’s been what?

How many years?” Her soft voice chuckled but I could sense the hint of pain in them.

“Forgive me, son but don’t worry about it.

I’m arriving in the city tonight.

I’d like to see you.” I inhaled sharply.

“Of course.

I’ll pick you up from the airport.” As I ended the call, the mansion felt farther away than ever.

Zara would have to wait until tomorrow.

I dialled Andrew, needing someone to share the weight of my decision.

“Yosh!

Bro, what’s up?” “Change of plans,” I told him when he answered.

“I’ll tell her tomorrow.

Mother’s arriving tonight.” Andrew’s silence on the other end spoke volumes before he replied, “Don’t wait too long, Zade.

The longer you hold off, the harder it will be.” He wasn’t wrong.  It was already hard at this point.

Tightening my hold on the steering wheel, I put the car on reverse as I ended the call.  *************** ~Jenna’s POV~ All through the night of the party, I barely had enough time to spend with Snow.

He was either always talking to one rep or the other and when I went for a refill of my drink, I lost him.  Unfortunately, I had become so engrossed in my partying that I did not search him out.

The next morning, I stood outside Snow’s room, my heart hammering in my chest.  I glanced down at myself, adjusting the thin robe over the revealing black lingerie I’d chosen for this moment.

The key card in my hand trembled slightly as I slid it through the reader.

A soft click signaled the door unlocking, and I stepped inside, my breath catching at the sight before me.

Thankfully, I asked one of the workers cleaning fo rher help in stealing the key card and somehow gotten mine created.

All that remained was going in and finishing what I came here for-to get Snow Zephyr deep inside me.  Snow lay sprawled on the bed, his sculpted chest rising and falling with each breath.

The duvet had tangled around his legs, leaving his torso bare and one thigh exposed above his boxers.

My pulse quickened as I reached for my phone, angling it to capture the perfect shot of him.

But as I moved closer to get into his bed, my phone still in hand, his eyes snapped open, locking onto me with a ferocity that stole the air from the room.
