Chapter 120 George Is Coming Home

Amy finally felt like she could breath after terminating the connection with Zach. Her chest rose and fell from her frantic breathing. She took a moment and thought about what just happened.

Her eyes had involuntarily closed as she imagined everything Zach was saying. Her hand had moved on its own to check how wet she was down there when he said she was. And she really is. And that moan?

'I just had to moan his name!' she mused in irritation and a lot of embarrassment.

She had no doubt that he had caught that moan! Amy turned her now red face into the pillow and screamed.

"Whyyyyyyyyyy!!!!" Her voice was muffled by the pillow. "Ugh!"

She turned to lie on her back and looked at the ceiling while slowly catching her breath. Yes, they have done the actual deed before, so this was nothing in comparison to that. However, she was glad she didn't have to face him after this.

'So embarrassing!' she cried out in her thoughts as she covered her face with her hands.

Amy had made herself believe she had been acting indifferent towards his feelings for her but after tonight, she feared Zach would not buy it when she shoots down his advances.

While Amy wallowed in her problems, Edmund watched his master's retreating back as the latter walked to the study.

'I didn't know Master was like this', he mused.

"Is it a thing among the Frost Brothers except one is more open about his actions whole the other is secretive?" He muttered as he stared at the door to the study.

"What is?" Someone asked from beside him.

"I mean, not too long ago he was chasing a man I thought he was in love with but just now, he was talking to a woman and it seems things are serious between the two. And it looks like she has a good control over him because-"

"WHAT? ZACH DID?"

Edmund snapped out of his reverie and finally realized he had been thinking out loud and right next to him was none other than:

"Madam!" He almost jumped out of his shoes when he took in a fuming Victoria.

"One player is enough, I cannot have two. I'll knock some sense-" she made to march forward in her rage when she felt a strong grasp quickly wrap around her stopping her movement.

"Madam, there seems to be an impor-"

"Let go!" She growled while freeing herself and moved forward.

Thud!

"Argh!" Edmund cried out.

Victoria quickly turned around and saw Edmund's face contort in pain even in his sitting down position. His one hand was supporting him while the other was pressed against his backside as the older man took in deep breaths with evident pain.

"Shoot!" She quickly forgot her anger and rushed to the man on the floor.

Unbeknownst to the chaos outside, Zach had gone into his study to take George's call. That message kept floating in his mind but the man remained calm. When he should be anxious and worried, Zach remained the same. He didn't bother sitting down as he picked up the phone.

"Speak", he said.

"It's just as you suspected, they're making something else besides the Adalimumab. But they're very secretive. They have an underground lab especially built for whatever it is they are making. They make sure it is heavily guarded from the security cameras to the guards on duty, very similar to the ones who went after Dylan Smith. I had to flee before they could catch me snooping around", his voice was calm.

He could vividly remember the footsteps approaching from where he was. He had managed to break into the lab to find out what they were making. For someone to break into a place with such high security especially with what they were making, it only showed that George was an impressive man. This is one of the reasons why Zach had him as his second in command. If he needed to secretly investigate something, George was the man.

As the call continued, Zach picked up on a sound in the background. He could practically guess what it was: the sound of burning flames. George was currently at some junkyard burning the clothes he had worn when he went to break into Greco's lab. The man totally looked different without his specs as his eyes reflected the flames in the barrel below him him.

Zach expected this. It wouldn't be easy to find out what they were truly making but that was the least of his concerns.

"Your message just now?"

"I'm not sure but I think a camera caught my side profile when I eacaped. If they'll find out I had broken in, it might be a while before they know it's me. I tried to be careful but you never know."

Zach was silent as he took in this new information. If that's the case,

"Don't go home."

"I understand. Where do you want me to go?"

Just then, a sound was heard. Zach walked out of his study with the phone in hand. As he stood by the door, he saw his mother rush towards a painstricken Edmund who was currently sitting on the floor. Victoria caught on the sound of Zach's study door opening and looked in his direction.

"Zach! Hurry and call the medics! I think I broke his butt crack", her face was etched with fear as she looked back at the man on the floor.

Edmund's lips twitched.

"Madam", he groaned in pain. "I'm sure it's not that."

"What do you mean by that?" She slapped his arm in disagreement to which he winced. "Sorry. I mean you keep holding your butt."

Edmund chose not to speak. He would only embarrass himself further. Why did he have to go after this hulk of his madam? All he wanted was to stop her from interrupting his master's important phone call.

The corners of Zach's lips lifted.

"George, you're coming home."
