Chapter 836 The Book Of Love

Lucas glanced at Zachary. “Er… It’s like this. Melina is currently detained in Second Master’s home. Second Master has instructed me to make a call and have someone force feed that solution once I see you and him arriving at his car. So I made the call about a minute ago.” Sotiria was both shocked and confused. “So you’re saying that Melina has already consumed that drink, correct?” “That’s right!” Lucas nodded complacently. “So you should probably understand what those two ugly men are doing at Second Master’s home by now.” ‘Yes!’ Sotiria would have to be an idiot if she still couldn’t understand at this point! “Second Master has made accurate calculations. The effects of that solution on a human will only start working in eleven minutes after consumption. Given my superb driving skills, we will only need fifteen minutes to get from here to Second Master’s house. If we run through all red lights, nine minutes should be enough.” Lucas showed Sotiria his watch. “So get in the car, or you’ll miss the show.” “Okay!” Sotiria hurriedly opened the car door and got into the vehicle. Just as she entered the vehicle, she began to regret her hasty rush into the vehicle. She ended up sitting next to Zachary. She hastened to get out of the car and change her seat. However, just as she opened the car door, Lucas started the vehicle and drove toward the district. Sotiria, who was now thoroughly embarrassed, had no choice but to close the car door again. She forced a smile and glanced at Zachary. “Okay, don’t get me wrong. I’m not deliberately trying to avoid you. It’s just… The car door wasn’t shut properly, so I wanted to close it again.” “Oh, really?” Zachary had a deadpan look on his face. The unpredictable expression in his eyebrows surpassed her abilities of interpretation. “I’ve been reading ‘The Book of Love’ lately to come up with ways of making you fall in love with me.” ‘What?’ Sotiria was stunned at first. Then her mind completely cleared, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head. Actually, she had heard that Zachary was as cold as an ice mountain, that he did not like getting close to girls. A man like him would not know how to seduce a woman on his own initiative. However, his tactics in seducing her were endless. Now she understood that he had obtained those tactics through The Book Of Love. She had long been aware of Zachary’s objectives in approaching her. She was also aware that Zachary could never possibly have real feelings for her. However, why did she feel so uncontrollably disappointed after hearing that he had been using tactics from a book to pursue her? Whenever he called her “sweetheart”, gave her flowers, held her, kissed her, climbed on top of her, and declared his feelings for her, it was all from The Book of Love? Smack! Zachary threw the thick, heavy Book of Love onto Sotiria’s lap. “Page 76. If a woman starts to deliberately avoid a member of the opposite sex, it means that she’s developed feelings for that man. As long as this man continues his pursuit, he will succeed in making that woman his.” Sotiria flipped to page 76 on that book with a complicated emotion on her face—it was just as Zachary had said. Zachary, who was as handsome as a god, raised his dark eyebrows very high. “So, sweetheart, you can’t escape. I guarantee that I’ll have your heart in seven days.” Sotiria, who was shaking all over, couldn’t even hold on to that book. The Book of Love landed on the side of her feet with a thud. ‘Zachary! Why is he so insistent? Why is my heart still pounding excitedly, despite knowing that he doesn’t harbor any good intentions?’ What baffled her even more was that she should be feeling even more repelled by him every time he continued his actions. This made her feel scorn for herself. However, she seemed to have no immunity against Zachary. Not only was she incapable of feeling any hatred or repulsion toward this man, but she even had a hint of anticipation…
