Chapter 1066

Zachary continued, "I've never tried fine dining. Having dinner with Cherise was an eye-opener for me. She took me to fancy places for Kobe beef, foie gras, and Margaux wine.

"Cherise gave off a serious, professional vibe at work. But when we went out for dinner, she turned into someone else.

"She wore a silk dress, a pair of crystal heels, and a ruby necklace. Her long cascading hair accentuated her elegance. Under the flickering candlelight, every smile and gesture she made was filled with feminine grace.

"She's my dream woman. I'm telling you. I'm locking this down for sure."

Matthew watched Zachary getting excited like a lost traveler in the desert suddenly finding his way. Even though he was surprised, he couldn't stop himself from shaking Zachary's hand.

"Congrats. You've already gone for dinner with Cherise two times. You seriously have a shot at this. Well done!"

Zachary confidently smirked. "It's not just a chance to win her over. I'm sure I've got this. All I need is to get Cherise to drink a little more next time, and we'll be set.

"I can do my squats for my two minutes 40 seconds. Once we get intimate, she won't be able to leave me."

Matthew was a little worried. "Y-You shouldn't get drunk when you sleep with her. If possible, it's better to do it when you and she are sober.

"Otherwise, after it's over, she might wake up and say you raped her. If she calls the police, you'll be in hot water."

Zachary sighed and muttered, "I've been on my own for many years, and I sometimes get irritated in the middle of the night. Even when I take a cold shower, I can't quench the fire inside me. I'm just so desperate for a woman.

"Even though Cherise is a woman, she's still human. I'm sure after being single for so long, she's desperate for a man too.

"Spending a night together is good for both of us. Why would she call the police?"

Matthew couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. He'd spent three years in jail, living a celibate lifestyle. Then, he got divorced, and just seeing a woman made him stumble content belongs

But he didn't want to get Rachel drunk just to sleep with her. They ended up together because Sheldon drugged her. Their intimate moment in the valley was meant to save her life. There was no other choice.

If Matthew had the choice, he'd had prefer he and Rachel were clear-headed when they did it so things wouldn't get complicated.

Plus, being aware made

from to be in-sync with each other

and enjoy the moment.

Matthe figured he should talk Zachary out of it. "How about you try not getting her drunk?"

Zachary nonchalantly replied, "It doesn't matter. That's not important anyway. I'm confident because I can do squats for two minutes and 40 seconds.

"All I need is one shot. After that, she'll never leave me again. I want to live off her and enjoy life to the fullest."

Before Matthew could say anything, his phone buzzed in his pocket. He pulled it out and glanced at the screen. Upon seeing it was Rachel calling, he immediately picked up the call.

"Hello?"

Rachel's voice came through the phone. "People told me you're at the company. Where are you? Come on up."

Matthew hummed in acknowledgment before ending the call. He turned to Zachary and said, "I'm heading to the top floor now."

Zachary waved his hand. "You should go, but give me a moment. After I win her over and start living off her, I'll treat you to a meal."

Matthew chuckled. "Sure. I'll wait for your good news." With that, he turned around and entered the building.

Stepping into the elevator, Matthew watched the numbers go up, getting more and more excited about Zachary being able to live off Cherise.
