Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 513

Zayn stood there and could see Lindsey's busy figure from afar. Although there were only a few customers on that side, Lindsey was still very patient and introduced their products to them. She stood very straight. If it were not for the fact that she changed her standing position a few times, no one would have noticed that Lindsey's heels were a bit too high today and that she was not very comfortable in them.

‘This is how Shaun does things? He didn’t even think to prepare a stool? No wonder their products won't sell!’ Zayn thought coldly.

Zayn made a casual call to the General Manager of The Shiraz. After a while, a few mall security guards carried over a few sturdy wooden stools with soft cushions on them and placed them at Hemera’s booth. “Ms. Juhl, our General Manager has instructed us to leave these with you. He wishes Hemera all the best in your product launch.”

Lindsey was surprised. Before she could react, the guards put the stools down and quickly left.

At that time, Lindsey considered that this was a mall and did not prepare any chairs at their booth. The General Manager of The Shiraz was so kind as to give them a few stools. There were a few customers there, so Lindsey did not think much of it and only felt that the General Manager of The Shiraz was great at keeping his clients happy.

When Zayn saw Lindsey sitting down and not walking around uncomfortably, he contentedly withdrew his gaze.

However, before he looked away, a red figure popped into view.

Ann's voice sounded before she arrived, "Zayn, why didn’t you tell me about such a big event like today’s launch?" Ann said before she got to Zayn's side and habitually hugged his arm as she rubbed against him.

The warmth that had just surfaced in Zayn's eyes quickly faded. He gave a faint "mm" in response and did not explain why he did not tell his fiancée about such a big event.

Ann was used to Zayn’s drastic attitude that was mostly unenthusiastic. Since Ann was there, she already knew why Zayn chose to do the product launch today.

Hemera had marketed their product launch a long time ago, and the person in charge was none other than Lindsey Juhl.

Ann did not care if Zayn was just here to irritate Lindsey or if he had other motives. Since she was there, she clearly wanted to do the former.

She swept a glance around and saw couples snuggling with each other.

Ann tightened her grip on Zayn’s arm and said in an expectant voice, "Zayn, it's Christmas...you didn't even prepare a gift for me?"

Zayn shrugged her hand away by straightening his cuffs. He then said in a flat tone, "I’ve never celebrated Christmas."

"But I want to celebrate Christmas! I always have..." Ann pouted at him.

Zayn raised his eyes to look at her as if this was the first time he looked at her so seriously. He completely ignored her petulant attitude, then said word for word, "You don’t have to celebrate Christmas in the future."

Ann was rendered speechless for a moment. She bit her lip and looked at Zayn. "You just don't want to accompany me, so you’re coming up with all these excuses."

Zayn looked at her and did not say anything. His eyes were cold and turned away, not wanting to look at her again.

Ann stood frozen in place. Before she came over, she clearly saw that Zayn was looking at Lindsey. At that moment, she only felt hatred and jealousy.

She ignored the stares from the crowd and said, “Then come shopping with me. There are so many people here anyway.”

"I'm busy." Zayn refused without hesitation.

The people around them looked at the couple with dubious eyes. Just when Ann wanted to change her approach, Zayn suddenly changed his mind.

After she said that, Zayn did not respond to her as his mind was already on Lindsey.

‘That man is a little too close to Lindsey. Is that even necessary to introduce a product?’ Zayn thought and forgot that he was still holding another woman in his arms.

Lindsey told Emory to entertain the customers knowing what she would encounter later would not be pretty. She then adjusted her expression the moment she turned around.

"Are you interested in buying something?" Lindsey looked at Ann and Zayn. She avoided looking at their intertwined arms and looked aloof, similar to Zayn's coldness earlier.

"Zayn and I were just walking around. Denarius also released their new products today. What a coincidence!"

When she said that last word, Ann’s eyes narrowed. Lindsey looked at Ann clearly and could see that the only suitable word to describe Ann was wicked.

"If you’re not here to buy our products, then please get out of the way. Good dogs won’t block the path." Lindsey walked up to the couple as she folded her arms. Lindsey was tall and was close to 180 cm at the moment in her heels, so she was now looking down at Ann. From this viewpoint, it inexplicably made Lindsey’s heart beat with a sense of pleasure.

Lindsey was clearly insulting Zayn and Ann. The employees of Hemera behind Lindsey secretly gave Lindsey a thumbs up.

Some did not know the relationship between this trio. When they saw this scene, they secretly cursed the couple and even wanted to watch the drama. Rumors were certainly not as exciting as witnessing it with their own eyes.

Hemera's employees did not expect that Lindsey would have such a snarky side when she looked so demure usually. They were sweating bullets while mentally cheering for her.

Lindsey and Ann were standing together. Both of them were beautiful in their own way and could not be compared. However, Lindsey looked like Zayn’s real wife when she stood in front of Ann. Even though Ann looked gorgeous standing next to Zayn, Ann did not look like she matched him at all.
