"No, I just... I'm just not used to this." Zoe wished she could disappear into a hole.

She couldn't understand why Nash, who knew she worked in the advertising department, would arrange for her to meet with Eugene.

No matter how hard she thought, she couldn't recall any advertising collaboration with the Lowe Corporation. Then, a sudden thought struck her, and it startled her.

With an uneasy heart, she entered the meeting room, only to find out that Nash wasn't even in the office. Zoe felt a surge of anger.
