“What?” The corners of Ben’s lips twitched. “I don’t…”

“If you dare say that you don’t know how to flirt, I’ll cut your tongue off. If you don’t know, then learn! It’s that easy. Don’t tell me it’s more difficult than firing a gun?” Zachary snapped.

“I understand.” Ben lowered his head.

“Okay…” Marino replied nervously, his entire face wrenching up.

Soon, they arrived at Ashenville Garden. Zachary initially wanted to change into a new set of clothes before going there, but Louis had called him yet again to urge him to hurry up. “You’re half an hour late. Everyone’s waiting for you.”

“I’ll be there soon.” Zachary was heading straight for the banquet hall.

“There’s no need for all the trouble.” Zachary did not overthink her unexpected arrival despite feeling somewhat annoyed.

Ben walked up to her and took over the clothes.
