Chapter 5 What Matters Is For Zeta To Look Her Best Tonight

As Zeta lay on her bed, she could feel warmth all over her body. Slowly she peeked her eyes and saw the sun sneaking into her room through the gaps in the curtain. She reluctantly straightened herself and yawned loudly. Knowing that it's another day to face her problems really weakened her to the bones. Zeta could only wish for this circumstance to end when she wakes up from sleep. But this is reality. You can't easily bypass your problems; you just have to face them head-on.

While she was stretching her body, she heard a loud but gentle knock on her door.

"Miss Zeta!"

The voice from the other side called. Upon hearing the gentle voice, Zeta assumed it was the servant Lucrezia. Groggily she stood up from the bed and crept to the door. She gently swiveled the knob and fluttered the door open.

Lucrezia smiled the instant Zeta open opened the door. She thought Zeta would lock herself up for the rest of the day. However, her smile froze when she saw the dark circles under Zeta's eyes.

"Oh my dear, you barely slept last night?" She asked out of concern. Zeta shook her head; she didn't have an atom of strength to talk. Only her body gestures told Lucrezia that Zeta was still in a bad mood. Who wouldn't? This is her lover that's on the line here.

Lucrezia furrowed her brow and looked at Zeta before saying,

"your father and ma" am Rosa are downstairs in the dining having breakfast, and your father requests you to join them."

Zeta rolled her eyes with disdain. Honestly, seeing her dad is the last thing she wants now, but what other option does she have? She has to comply or bear the consequences.

Zeta lifted her lips and worded to Lucrezia, "fine then. I will be there in a jiffy." Lucrezia nodded and retreated to despatch her words to her father.

In the dining, Enzo sat down looking grim. Rosa only stole glances at him and patted his left hand he kept on the table. Out of concern, she asked,

"are you still angry?"

Enzo looked at her. Of course, he knows Rosa was worried about him, and he wouldn't want her to stress herself because of him. So he twisted his head in denial and said, "I'm not. I'm only looking forward to a good matrimony and the success of this contract."

He beamed Rosa a charming and soothing smile.

Shortly, Zeta finished brushing and came to the dining. She scrunched her face and angled her head downwards. With a shrilled voice she greeted,"good morning dad. Good morning, aunt Rosa". She pulled out a seat a few centimeters away from her dad and sat down on it. The servants served only light food on the table, so Zeta slowly grabbed a mug of milk and some fried bun.

Enzo glared at her; he wanted to burst out but knowing it would spoil his mood for the rest of the day, he cautioned himself.

"Ahem!"

Enzo coughed to attract Rosa and Zeta's attention before speaking, "Zeta, I will send someone to pick you up this morning and prepare you for the welcome back party of Massimo, the heir of the Ferrari family, tonight."

Zeta's body quivered hearing her father's words. As much as she's trying to riddle her mind off this, her father is still insistent. This only infuriates Zeta the more.

However, she still had to be calm unless she wants to provoke her father's wrath. She angled her eyes towards her father and uttered, "very well then. I will be waiting for the person you will send."

Enzo nodded. Frankly, he thought Zeta would be obstinate and not comply with his words, but no, she was respectful. Thus, Enzo's heart jerked with happiness. No matter what, this deal has to be accomplished!

They finished their breakfast, and it was about time to leave for work. Rosa had to go to their vineyard and make some inspections there, but she always loved Enzo dropping her off whenever they were leaving in the morning. They both stood up from their seats to go, but before Rosa left for the exit, she plodded to where Zeta was sitting and pecked her on the cheeks, and said, "take care of yourself, baby girl."

Zeta nodded at her words but didn't look at their retreating figure. Nicolo already accelerated the engine of their Rolls-Royce, waiting directly in front of the entrance. He opened the back passenger's seat for them, and Rosa stepped in first before Enzo. Nicolo rode the car out of the villa.

Enzo brought out his phone and dialed a number. From the other end, a woman picked up and greeted in a respectful manner, "good morning Mr. Enzo Moretti. Please, how may I be of help to you?"

With an ever-chilling tone, Enzo replied, "I need you to send someone to assist my daughter Zeta in preparing for a party tonight."

"Hmm."

The woman from the other end carefully replied. Enzo hung up the call and glanced at Rosa that gave him a sweet smile. "So, how are we going to prepare for the party?" Rosa asked.

Enzo wrinkled his brow, heaved a sigh, and answered, "our preparation is not that important. What matters is for Zeta to look her best tonight. Anyways, we will still look good."

Rosa chuckled and said, "I would like to go to the health club and get some spa treatments. I wouldn't want to go there looking frail, you know?"

Enzo knows Rosa too well; she cares so much about her looks and body. This is why her body still looks fresh, like a white lotus flower. He caressed Rosa's cheeks sweetly and gave her a light kiss, "if that's what you want. Then carry on." Rosa smiled.

Nicolo arrived at Enzo Moretti's vineyard, and Rosa picked up her customized bag that was exactly the same color as the gown she was putting on. Before leaving the car, she pecked Enzo on the cheeks and said, "see you later then" before leaving the car. In response, Enzo nodded.

Nicole drove along the busy streets of Milan and arrived at Enzo Winery Ltd. He parked the car in the parking lot and opened the door for Enzo. Before stepping out of the car, Evander, his personal assistant, rushed toward Enzo and respectfully greeted, "good morning, CEO."

Enzo glanced at him without uttering a response. But merely looking in his eyes, you will understand that he actually hummed in response to Evander's greeting.

Evander looked inside the car and picked up Enzo's briefcase. He slowly followed Enzo from behind. The employees of Enzo Winery Ltd were all moving to their working position.

While Enzo was about to walk into the elevator to his office, one of his staff called out," CEO, please, I would like you to inspect the new wine we produced recently."

Enzo nodded and followed the staff from behind. They walked into the package section where the newly produced wine was. The staff got a mug, drizzled some wine, and handed it to Enzo. He took the mug and gulped some wine. When he was done, he looked at the staff and asked, "how much percent of alcohol does it contain?"

"Ten percent, sir." The staff replied. Enzo glanced at the content again and said, "it's good. Evander, do you think the twenty percent is much?" He looked at Evander, who was standing next to the staff.

Evander shook his head, "I think it's okay; customers that want a higher percentage of alcohol will rush this. Also, if a customer thinks it contains a high percentage of alcohol, they can always dilute it with soft drinks. Don't you think?"

"Hmph." Enzo nodded. "I hope the bottle is an eye-catching one? If not, please look for something fancier and package it.

I would also like to introduce people to It at the party tonight". He said with a commanding voice before walking back to the elevator.

As Enzo ordered, the staff ordered his subordinate to find something more captivating they could package the wine with.

Evander followed Enzo to his office and kept his briefcase before passing the information he got this morning, "Sir, I got a mail this morning. Next-generation Ltd of Sweden has agreed to purchase eight hundred pieces of Merlot. And they demand it should be delivered in three days."

"I see; you and your team should handle that straight-up," Enzo replied without looking at Evander. Evander nodded and quickly left Enzo's office.

Zeta was scrolling through her WeChat feed in her room when Lucrezia came to inform her that someone's looking for her. Zeta wondered who that could be, but suddenly, she remembered what her father had told her in the morning.

Lazily she sauntered downstairs to meet the person. To Zeta's surprise, I was her high school classmate Brenda!

Brenda was equally astonished to see Zeta again. Usually, she helps Rosa prepare for occasions like that which would be held in the evening but seeing Zeta after six of her departure from Italy surprised her.

"Zeta? It's really you?!" Brenda called out to confirm if it was really Zeta. However, Zeta revealed her perfect dentition to Brenda and happily embraced her.

"Oh my God, it's been years since we last met. How have you been?" Zeta gripped Brenda's hands and asked with a flash of excitement hovering over her face.

"Oh dear, I have been good. No one knew where you disappeared to since we graduated from high school? Where were you?" Zeta blushed, hearing Brenda's question. Before she left for Singapore, Zeta didn't let anyone know she would travel except her high school closest friend Bianca.

Although all through these years, she didn't communicate with Bianca. And now she's wondering if Bianca is still in Italy.

"Oh, Brenda! I traveled to Singapore. That's where I have been this past six years." Zeta said with a low tone. Brenda's mouth was agape. "You mean you were in Singapore? Wow! That's amazing. I really envy you, Zeta. You are a Moretti and can go anywhere you wish. Money is never a problem. Isn't it?" Brenda sounded pitiful. Zeta is not like them that would struggle and stress themselves before making money.
