This statement made Jack stare.
He had only thought about getting the man away from Yanis, not the more important thing which was that if the man left angry at his words, he would then go out spouting nonsense and ruin Yanis’ reputation.
Jack hadn’t thought about it before, but then he figured what did he care what anyone else said, since the life was his anyway, and since Yanis liked his uncle, he should only care about him.
Thinking about it, Jack replies.
-Yanis is not the kind of person who cares what people think.
-And his parents?
Zain stood up with his keys.
-Now do you know why I deny it? Get up and don’t make a mess like that again, and next time I’ll send you straight to your father to teach you himself.
Jack reluctantly followed Zain as he got up and headed outside, still indignant in his little heart, and could only say,
-Uncle, you have to believe me, that man has no good intentions, when I went to the store he actually told me he was the owner.
Hearing this, Zain finally stopped and narrowed his eyes,
-Are you telling the truth?
-It’s true, that’s why I don’t like him. She said the ramen store was hers before she married Yanis, when in fact it was Yanis’ heart’s work.
Zain didn’t take back Jack’s words, but the calculation was already in his mind.
-I got it, I’ll handle this, you stay out of it.
Once in the office, Zain called Megan and asked her to check someone out.
Megan didn’t know at first who she was investigating, and after asking for clarification, she found out why, and then couldn’t resist joking with Zain.
-This is the way you finally catch up?
At her words, Zain gave her a cold look.
-You can’t even ask a question? Well, then I’ll look into it and the results will be quick-.

When Yanis returned to the ramen store, she was depressed, and Gaitan spoke to her several times and she ignored him or didn’t listen to him.
In the end, Gaitan’s whole body deflated.
-Are you blaming me for not being able to afford that food?
Hearing this, Yanis realized she had gone a little overboard and could only explain, -No, it has nothing to do with you, it’s just that I was a little tired when I ran out, and as I already told you, you are not Jack’s relative and you are not obliged to buy him the food, so it’s normal for me to pay for the food.
-So you, can you go on living? It’s a lot of money for that food, you….
-It’s okay,” Yanis smiled faintly. I have a store, and I have income every day, you don’t have to worry.
Gaitan secretly thought, “Now that’s rich, and it looks like the introducer was right, Yanis sure is a little rich.”
-Why don’t you go home for the day? -Yanis found it uninteresting, and seeing that it was getting late, he told Gaitán to go home early to rest.
Gaitán nodded despite feeling upset inside.
-Okay, I’ll see you tomorrow then.
-Okay, take care of yourself on the way.
When he had gone, Yanis collapsed again.
He suddenly regretted not having taken the bottle of wine with him when he left.
It’s a $3, 000 bottle of wine. She paid for it and didn’t take it with her… she’s retarded, isn’t she?
The more you think about it, the harder it gets.
When the store closed for the night, Yanis and Brisa were walking home together when they saw Zain’s car parked not far away and he was still standing next to it, his slender figure perfectly erect and his handsome face attracting the attention of many passersby.
At the sight of him, Brisa froze, then looked at her daughter.
Today her daughter had not been feeling well since her return, and she thought left and right that something might have happened.
Now, seeing that handsome man here again, she understood everything.
Seeing them, Zain quickly approaches them and stops in front of them.
-Hello again, aunt.
Brisa felt a little embarrassed, but smiled kindly at the other man.
-Yes, indeed, are you looking for my daughter?
With a slight smile on his lips, Zain nodded,
-A little personal matter I wanted to talk to her about.
-All right then, you two talk, I’ll wait over here.
-Mom! Don’t go, I have nothing to say to her.
-Yanis, I told you last time, if there is something to say openly, even if we are strangers in the future, we have to settle things now, don’t we? Relax, you’re my daughter, and if he dares to bully you, I won’t let him get away.
Yanis didn’t speak.
-Well, talk, boy, I’m going home first, and I hope you’ll bring my daughter safe and sound downstairs afterwards.
-I will, Aunt,” Zain nodded.
When Brisa left, Yanis stayed in his seat and closed his eyes, breathing deeply.
-I’ve paid for the meal, I’ve made it clear, I won’t bother you again, what more do you want?
His tone was full of impatience and weariness, and his eyes did not look at him more than once.
Zain was a little exasperated, his thin lips pursed a couple of times.
-I know, but I think there’s something you should know.
Yanis raised his eyes and stared at him.
-What are you trying to say?
-Let’s talk in the car,” Zain suggested, after all, there were a lot of passersby passing by, throwing glances at them from time to time, a conversational atmosphere that Zain disliked and, above all, he hoped Yanis would be quiet.
-To talk in the car? -Yanis looked at the car behind and suddenly gave a mocking look: “It’s not nice, is it, Mr. Zain? After all, I’m unhygienic and I’ve been working in the store all day and I’m dirty and smelly, so wouldn’t it be a pollution for you if I got into your car? I think it’s best to forget about it.
These words were especially hard to hear and did not sit well with Zain.
-Do you have to talk to me like that?
-How do you want me to talk? -Yanis smiled and took two steps back, looking at him with a curious expression, “Tell you something flattering? Maybe they would like to hear more?
Zain pursed his lips, with a serious expression, and his breath fell around him.
Did he not think that what happened that night would prove so hopeless?
-That night, I…
-If you are trying to explain what happened that night, then there is no need to say anything, I know it very well myself, it is not necessary for your honor!
Yanis stepped back several more steps, covering his ears as if he didn’t want to hear his explanation at all.
It was funny to see the head of the Nelson Group at the mercy of a girl.
