Chapter 62

Zachary was at work, so naturally, he couldn’t drink too much. I didn’t force him and just chatted with him. He said, “Zena, I’ll pay you $12,000 of the $20,000 you lent me last time. I’m starting my internship next semester, so I’ll pay you back the rest of the $8,000 then.” “You’re starting your internship so soon?” I was taken aback. “Yeah. I’m graduating next June, and Laurie will be a senior.” Zachary sighed. “Time flies!” I remained silent. It felt like yesterday that I was creating chance encounters with Henry on campus. In a blink of an eye, I would be divorcing him soon. At this moment, three men came through the door. I saw Evan at a glance and felt puzzled. Why did he, Sid, and Jake come to this bar? It must be fate. “Zach, go ahead with your work.” I urged. “Okay. Zena, let me know if you need anything.” Zachary got up and went back to work. Evan stared at Zachary before he turned back to me. When Sid saw me, he didn’t know what to say. He just shot Jake a look.
