Chapter 2175: Chapter 2169: Why Can’t She Be More Promising!

Zoey Turpin hesitated for a moment, about to answer, when a voice cut in: "She’s busy, she’s having dinner with me."

The middle-aged man was startled and turned his head, his face changed when he saw who was speaking.

"Mr. White." He looked at Gary White approaching, surprised and confused, and then turned his head to look at Zoey Turpin, "Miss Turpin, do you know Mr. White?"

Zoey didn’t say anything.

She stared blankly as Gary White walked in front of her.

She knew Gary White might be at tonight’s banquet too.

So she had been mentally prepared before coming.

She thought that after so long, any feelings should have faded.

Even if her feelings for this man hadn’t completely faded, if they were to meet again, she should be feeling relatively indifferent.

At least she wouldn’t let him have a significant impact on her life again.

She wouldn’t let him affect her mood, either.

She hated the feeling of not being able to control herself.

But she had thought of so many things.

It was only when she saw Gary White again that she realized her previous mental preparations had been in vain.

She wasn’t as indifferent as she thought.

She didn’t manage to be as uninterested as she thought, either.

As soon as she saw Gary White, her emotions couldn’t remain calm.

His influence on her was far deeper than she thought.

"Zoey." Gary White stood in front of her, gazing down at her for a few seconds, then hooked his lips, greeting her like an old friend, "You’re back. Long time no see."

Zoey’s heart trembled violently.

His words "long time no see" were truly indifferent.

As they met again, he managed to be indifferent, with an unaffected expression and eyes, treating her like an old friend he knew, just coming over to say hello.

That was it, nothing more.

But amusingly, she couldn’t do the same as him.

Even if she kept her composure on the surface.

Only she knew the real turmoil in her heart.

"Mr. White." Zoey clenched her fists and squeezed a shallow smile after a moment of silence, "Long time no see."

"When did you come back?" Gary White spoke casually, "Have you found a place to live yet? If not, I can help you find a suitable one."

Looking at his nonchalant demeanor and thinking of her own unease, Zoey suddenly became a bit annoyed.

She wasn’t annoyed with Gary White, but with herself.

This man could act so composed in front of her, as if nothing had ever happened between them.

Why couldn’t she?

Why, after so many years, her emotions were still affected by him when she saw him?

Why couldn’t she be stronger?

If Gary White could do it, so could she, Zoey Turpin!

With that thought, Zoey’s expression became colder and her tone more polite than before, "I have already found a place to stay. No need to bother Mr. White."

"Really?" Gary White smiled, "Zoey, we’re old friends, you don’t need to be so polite with me. If you need any help, just let me know."

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. White. If I really need help, I’ll ask you."
