‘What a beautiful girl.’ Jealousy surged inside them. Seeing such a breathtaking face they wanted nothing more than to ruin it. But they couldn’t let their emotion run wild, not in front of Zou Haoran, their ultimate target. Maintaining their smiles, they shifted their attention from Zou Haoran to Layla. “Hi, my name is Ava.” “Hi, I’m Mia.” “Layla.” A curt reply came out of her mouth making them feel that she was putting on airs. But, the truth was Layla wasn’t willing to be a part of their act. Thus there was no reason for her to play accordingly. ‘Too too arrogant,’ they complained inwardly. Hearing Layla’s cold tone that was devoid of any emotion turned their mood somewhat sour but they could not give up so easily especially when they had seen from the far how friendly Zou Haoran was with this rude girl. Therefore, left with no option they had to please her as this guy blatantly refused to corporate with them. “Nice to meet you, Layla.” They replied with enthusiasm as if they

Reaching near the door Opal noticed something unusual. "Hmm, why it's dark?" She questioned herself as she slowly pushed the door.“Happy Birthday!!” Both the girls shouted in unison as one of them also pressed the switch. They had a big grin on their faces as they took note of every expression Opal made in seconds. They could guess that Opal was very much pleased by the surprise they had prepared for her and it could be considered the first step to success.Opal’s eyes widened in surprise. She checked the time and it was already 12:01 am. ‘It’s my birthday.’ She reminded herself as her eyes sparkled with joy and a pure smile bloomed on her face.At first, her family also used to wish her at midnight but gradually things changed as her sister started to get busy with work and her parents started to go to bed early with aging. Though her family would always make her day awesome enough that could make others jealous but she missed this feeling. She missed those midnight birthday wishes.

“It’s been many days honestly I was waiting for some reaction or an ambush, given how much I angered him.” stirring the fork in noodles Layla exposed the doubt in her heart, “Do you think it was normal that he didn’t come to find me?” She really thought that he would come to find her and seek trouble. She clearly read it on his face. That is why Layla was so confused. “You should watch fewer dramas,” Ryan commented in a monotonous tone as he maintained his deadpanned face. Although he said so but he was also worried about Layla crossing paths with him accidentally or intentionally. For the past few days, he was paying special attention to this matter. He even went as far as hacking some cameras of nearby public places but he didn’t find anything. And he didn’t know whether it was a good thing or bad. Layla rolled her eyes and continued eating while maintaining silence. She would never be able to guess that that man was sent to the police that very evening by Opal’s people. He was a r

“Ah!!” “Oww” “Sorry” Layla apologized timidly to the second ‘ghost’ she accidentally punched after entering the building. “It-it was a reflex action.” She added hoping to lessen the ghost’s resentment. No one knew whether her action was really an accident or a deliberate act. Ryan snorted at the scene unfolding in front of him. His actions made others recall the words he uttered before entering the building. Now they realized how foolish they were to think that he was scared. “You will have to walk in the middle. And that's final.” He added before she could utter any word of protest. He did not want to give more workers a chance to gossip about a certain crazy customer they got. “You seem to know vice-prez very well, pre

When Layla followed behind Opal she saw a man passing by Opal and laying his hand on her inappropriately. This made her mind short circuit for a second. Layla flew in rage. Without wasting time she kicked that man hard, making him fall in the process. “Oye!! What’s wrong with you?” He raged out. His face flushed red seeing a girl glaring at him furiously. Apparently, he also guessed that she saw something she shouldn’t and that made her react like this but no way in hell he was gonna admit a thing if she dared to question him. When he was gloating inside about how he would deal with her and her questions, something unexpected happened. Layla, again, kicked him making him unable to steady his foot successfully. “What’s wrong…?” she sneered. “I’m just doing

“Aren’t you getting late now?” Ryan asked helplessly as he saw Layla was still busy clicking pictures even after Zou Haoran arrived. On top of that, she had made that guy her photographer. He was speechless. What Ryan didn’t know was that Layla was charmed by Zou Haoran’s photography skills thus she unleashed her full desire today.“Just a few more. Till then, you focus on your thing.” He could hear the underlying message in her tone. He shook his head inwardly as he remembered when he was sulking on how he was forced to come here, he received a message. Taking out his phone he saw Layla texted him. “Do something to your face. It’s making others uncomfortable, especially a certain someone.”He raised his head and found Layla gesturing to him with her eyes. From then Ryan reluctantly let go of his anger
