Chapter 369 369 Failed Seduction
Based on his daily habits, Diana knew that Zach would still be in his office at that time. Therefore, she wore a gown over her leotard and pranced towards his office which was adjacent to his room.
Fortunately for her, there was no one else living in the same hallway that housed both her and Zach's room. She didn't have to cover herself up completely to walk to his office.
She took off the gown outside the doorway before pushing the door open with a slight creaking noise that attracted his attention.
She looked absolutely seductive like a temptress. Her long legs were further emphasized by the lack of pants in her outfit. Her milky white thighs and her bouncy bosom were completely on display for Zach to feast his eyes on.
Diana closed the door behind her. Swinging her hips seductively from side to side, she approached Zach who was seated on his study table surrounded by a bunch of books and reference materials.
Hearing the door opening, he raised his eyes to check who it was and when he saw that it was Diana, he lowered his head once again to resume whatever it was that was more important than heaven itself.
Diana was dissatisfied by his lack of interest even though she had worn such an outfit for him. It was as if she had no appeal to him whatsoever. It made her feel cheap and insulted.
But there was no time for her to back out now. She needed to see this through no matter what.
Gathering all her courage, she walked behind his chair and peeked over his shoulder to see what he was working at.
Zach didn't make a move throughout this time as if he hadn't even seen her.
Diana wondered if he had even registered the change in her or not because he had yet to show any kind of response to her advances.
While Bruce thought that he had dumped all of his responsibilities on Diana, Zach hadn't been able to rest at ease either. He had been busy devising the curriculum and the textbooks that would be used to teach the Smith family people. It was an amalgam of different subjects that he could recall from his previous world.
Even though he knew enough about various subjects, it was difficult for him to recall them all perfectly. Therefore, the compilation of the textbooks was becoming an increasingly tedious task.
Zach had divided the textbook into three main sections that were most relevant to this new world and were an absolute must for anyone who wanted to become a core figure of Zach's group.
First was Politics which was the playground of the elite. Political know-how was an absolute must in both worlds. It allowed a leader to make informed decisions and allowed them to learn what to do and what not to do in front of the masses.
Zach was about to take his forces to the new level where he would be fighting against empires instead of local families. Therefore, he needed subordinates who could be diplomatic and were capable of individual thoughts.
The second section consisted of the knowledge related to the economic domain. It included how to build a stable economy starting from a low-level business to a macroeconomy that was built on the back of several such stable microeconomic systems.
Zach wrote down all of the business models he could remember from his previous world. The importance of transportation and logistics was explained thoroughly. He even included knowledge related to intermodal transportation to cut down costs further.
The reason he had included this as well was because he would soon have a port of his own that could house huge ships that would help him revolutionize the transportation chain of the entire empire. He even included concepts such as vertical and horizontal integration to further explain the importance of having an efficient supply chain in any business.
Lastly, the third section of the textbook was going to focus on military tactics and large-scale warfare. He had several examples he could quote after all his previous world had been rife with wars and widespread destruction. His knowledge regarding wars probably exceeded this world by a few thousand years as he had the entire history of his world in his mind and the tactics of the ancients along with the technology of the later generations.
Zach wanted to instill the discipline and the physical routine of the ancients while arming them with weapons far beyond the times of this world.
Moreover, he could even include a magic corps in the fold that would further increase his options on the battlefield. He felt like this single addition could bring about innumerable changes to all his battle tactics.
He not only wrote down everything he knew but also made improvements to them based on the fighting style of this world to incorporate mages into large scale warfare.
Zach's task was already arduous enough but the lack of typewriter or a computer raised the difficulty level by many folds. Because the lack of sophisticated equipment warranted him to complete his textbook by hand and it was taking him several long hours daily to write a few pages on a daily basis.
Diana knew what he was doing because she had been watching him work ever since he began working on the textbook.
Her visits started because she was curious about whether the textbooks held any knowledge that was still foreign to her or not. But with time, her interest faded as the textbook was meant for Zach to divulge his knowledge to all of them. There was no need for her to be greedy or impatient.
Therefore, she began to focus on supporting him until his task was complete and she made sure to visit from time to time in order to check if he needed anything while he worked.
Diana leaned in towards the table as she purposely squished her well rounded and perky breasts against his arm as she tried to reach out towards the coffee pot.
Her breast flattened against his shoulder, but Zach barely gave her any attention and focused on finishing up on his day's work.
Diana got a hold of the coffee pot barely and filled up his empty cup again before pushing it in front of him.
"How long until you are done? You have been writing for so long now. It should be done by now, shouldn't it?"
Diana pretended to ask about the progress of his work as she peeked into the contents of the textbook to make it look like she really was interested in his work.
"I have been planning to write this book for a long time. As time passed, the things I wanted to incorporate in this book began to increase. It is still a long way from the finishing point currently mainly because writing like this is exhausting. I wish there was an easier method for me to convert the thoughts in my head into written material instead of jotting them down one by one with my hand."
Without lifting his head up, Zach responded to her question wearily. It was obvious that he was tired but was still persevering.
Diana lost interest the moment Zach began to talk about his plans regarding the textbook.
Her thoughts were somewhere else at the moment.
"I don't know when it all will end because I have so many things to do. These textbooks are just the beginning. The Smith family needs to expand much further and we need to accumulate strength as much as possible in a short while. I am afraid I will be busy even after I am done with this."
Diana lost herself in ecstasy entirely as she felt his firm muscles between her bouncy breasts. The heat spread throughout her chest making her breath heavier with each passing second.
There was something in his touch that made her want to throw everything aside to pounce at him. But some rational part of her kept her from making the first move. She still wanted Zach to take the initiative towards her as a man.
Zach kept on talking about his plans for the future while Diana focused on wrapping herself around him in the most seductive manner possible.
She nodded to indicate that she was listening to him, but her mental faculties were otherwise engaged to even register the meaning behind his words.
All she wanted was to seduce Zach somehow to stamp him as her own as soon as possible.
Zach's words acted like a soothing melody in the midst of the turbulent storm of emotions brewing inside of her.
The intensity of her emotions, a tempest of feelings she was struggling to control, seemed to find a temporary calm in his presence. She was adrift in the sea of her love for him, unable to navigate beyond the currents that pulled her towards him.
Every word he spoke was a note, a gentle hum that resonated within her, making her heart sway like a leaf caught in a gentle breeze. It was both beautiful and frightening, the power he held over her. The fire of her love blazed deep within, an inferno that threatened to consume her if she didn't find a way to temper its intensity.
With a practiced breath, she tried to steady her emotions, to douse the flames of her passion that threatened to engulf her reason. But in that very attempt, she found herself ensnared, her eyes bound to his like a moth drawn to a flame.
