rebirth in another world

CHAPTER 4

don't worry about that" Zain said.

" how about we sit down and introduce ourselves properly" he added and Joan could notice a dark glint in his eyes, something inside of her kept telling her not to get involved with this man but she could not escape, when ever he spoke she could feel a kind of pressure emminating from him and she could not muster the strength to defy him. she obediently sat down on a chair close to him " ok you start, tell me about yourself" Zain said . " o..ok, my name is Joan Carter , I am 21 years old , I graduated from Harvard University with a national diploma in business and finance" Joan managed to say, all what she said was from the memories of the real Joan. " that's nice " Zain complemented. He already knew everything about Joan , before coming he was already aware of his grandfather's plan and so he conducted an investigation on Joan and was amused by her love story but what really caught his attention was the fact that she suddenly broke off the engagement, he wanted to know the reason for the abrupt change of heart .

if he had investigated and found out she was still with that guy he would have not bothered to come.

" what about you" she asked Zain " well.. my name is Zain Nova Frost, I am 27 years old I graduated from Questria University in China " Zain answered her.

_ wait that name , Zain Nova Frost sounds familiar, but where have I heard it from_ Joan wondered and then after some seconds she became wise eyed. _ I remember, that's the name of the most successful businessman in the country, from Joan's memories Zain Nova Frost was a name that could make mountains tremble, he was so we'll respected and feared.

he was also known as the ice king because of his ever stotic expression and also because when it came to business he was very ruthless he never cared if his opponent was an old person or not but if our ever cross him consider yourself finished_

but the person in front of her was totally different from what she pictured, she pictured him as an ugly and scary looking person but the person in front of her was no where close to ugly, although his aura was a bit scary.

" what are you thinking about " Zain asked her when he saw her wide eyed and lost in thought " n..n..nothing" she quickly answered " she didn't know why but she always get scared when ever he asks a question. " ok if that's the case then let us continue " he said " I heated that you were engaged is that true " Zain asked. " yes but not anymore" she answered " and why is that , what made you cancel the engagement" Zain asked "how do you know that I am the one who canceled the engagement" she asked with a raised eyebrow " did you conduct an investigation about me " she said , it be as a question but she already knew the answer

" yes I did , you're smart". Zain answered not hiding it anymore. " if you want to know the reason why I suddenly cancel the engagement then I'll tell you, I was never in love with that guy, I only pretended to love him". she said with a straight face " really " Zain asked not fully believing her answer

" yes that's s the truth, why else do you think that I would call of the engagement" she answered. "I don't know" Zain answered, and really he did not know the reason but something told him that what she said was not true. _ but if that is not the truth then what is the the truth_ Zain wondered.

Zain kept asking her questions and she kept answering by the time they knew it, the day was already dark, when Zain noticed that it was already late he subconsciously frowned , never had it happened that he lost track of time even when he was working, but now just talking to her made him loose track of time, _ that's not good_

at that time Joan's stomach rumbled " uuhmm, we should go and eat " she said finally having a reason to get away from him.

" yes we should" he said still a little annoyed at the fact that she made him loose track of time.

When they went back down stairs the two old men were still having a conversation, but they stopped when they saw Joan and Zain.

" have you guys gotten to know each other very well" grandfather Kudo asked with a wide smile on his face. " yes we have , and I think we both have a lot in common" Zain answered. _ common my ass_ Joan said in her mind " so what do you think about my grandson Joan" grandfather Kudo asked with expectations all over his face. " I think he is a very nice person, and I think we could become friends " she said " well that's nice " Joan's grandfather said. " and since you both have so much in common, you guys should meet up and chat more often" he added. _ you are blatantly telling us to go out together, can't you cover up your words_.
