Chapter 261: My girlfriend, June Korlosky
Zayne eased the car to a smooth stop in front of the grand estate, its tall gates framing an inviting pathway. He turned to June, his voice soft and encouraging. "We’re here, June," he said with a reassuring smile.
June glanced out of the window, her fingers nervously fumbling with the seatbelt buckle. "I feel a little anxious," she admitted, finally managing to release the belt. Her eyes darted to the towering house ahead, her apprehension clear.
Zayne noticed her unease and reached over, his warm hand enveloping hers. He gave her a gentle squeeze. "You’re my boss. How can you be nervous?" he teased lightly, his thumb brushing against her fingers to soothe her nerves.
June arched an eyebrow at him, her lips curving into a small smirk. "At work, yes. But outside of it, I’m allowed to be human, no?" she countered, a hint of playfulness filling her tone.
"Fair point," Zayne admitted with a grin. "If it helps, I’m nervous too. Meeting my boss like this feels... different." His confession earned him a genuine smile from June, her tension easing slightly.
The pair stepped out of the car and walked inside the mansion. Layla and Lucius standing in the living room as a servant informed them about Zayne’s and June’s arrival. Roger and Aiden had also stood by his boss’s side.
As they both finally reached the living room, their faces lit up.
"Zayne!" Lucius stepped forward and hugged him while patting his back. "Welcome to our home," he said.
"This is June Korlosky, my girlfriend. She is my senior at the work," Zayne introduced his girlfriend to all of them before giving their introduction to her.
