And so, Nadine and Zara found themselves working together to examine Brad. The contrast between them couldn't have been starker. Nadine focused intently on the data displayed on the equipment, while Zara seemed to have eyes only for Brad.

Brad had Nadine's phone in his possession, so he wasn't worried about her misbehaving. However, Zara kept blocking his view. What on earth was she up to? He was clearly looking at Nadine, yet Zara kept inching closer to him, deliberately being flirtatious and attempting to touch his hand. Was she out of her mind? Realizing that her hand was about to touch his again, Brad snapped, sweeping all the equipment off the table. It crashed to the ground with a loud clatter.

"What the hell is wrong with you? Why do you keep touching me?" Unable to hold it in any longer, Brad's sharp gaze locked onto Zara, his eyes filled with fury as if he wanted to tear her apart.
Zara believed that as long as she was bold enough and had a few more physical contacts with Brad, he would surely fall for her. After all, no man could resist her charms for long.

You'll have to pay for the damaged equipment!" Fearing she would be held responsible, Zara burst into tears and pointed at Nadine. "It wasn't me! Nadine's the one who upset this gentleman, so he lost his temper and threw everything on the floor!" Nadine's bloodran cold. When it blood ran rained, it truly did pour! Zara was the one who tried to seduce Brad, causing him to lose his temper and break the equipment, yet somehow she was making it seem like Nadine was the one who upset him. Zara's ability to flip the situation was truly impressive! Nadine sneered as she looked straight into Zara's eyes. "Ms. Zimmerman, do you
cfrom a family of storytellers? You certainly know how to spin the truth! Nadine hadn't expected her goodwill to be rewarded like this. She no
longer cared about protecting Zara's pride and just laid it all out. "This happened because you coûɗn keep yourhandstor your hands to yourself, Ms.
