"Ahem. I hear foreign men are pretty strong and well-built. Just imagine if Zoe brought a foreign boyfriend back with her. That would be a sight to see," he said, fanning the flames.
Herman Hawthorne's expression tensed, and he gave a dry laugh. "How is that possible? Zoe spent three years in high school abroad and never had a boyfriend. You think she's going to find one and bring him back after just a day or two?"
"You never know. Fate works in mysterious ways."
"Ha. Young Master Grant, it's easy for you to say that when it's not your problem. On behalf of the general public, I utterly despise you for pouring salt on the wound."
"My pleasure. Don't mention it." Seeing Herman on the verge of losing it, Quentin Grant had to stop himself from bursting out laughing.
Herman calmed himself and then asked, "Tell me... does Zoe love me?"
Quentin Grant offered the same two-word reply: "Who knows?"
