Zara ran out of the restaurant and hid in an alley beside it. She knew Jake would come after her which is the reason she hid.

My instincts told me you were the one.” Mr Gabriel spoke more slowly as his eyes scanned the drip in his hands.“I don't remember discussing Jake with you Dad, how come?” Zara asked curiously as she folded her arms.“I've seen him on the news before. I admire the fact you are smart and young. Like the way you won the case against the Y&S company.”Mr Gabriel stated.That was when Jake realized that the news about his victory was broadcast.
