It was Mandy, dressed in an excessively flamboyant gown and her face full of makeup as she showed up in his room."I-I'm sorry. I got the wrong room…" Mandy exclaimed with her cheap, exaggerated acting skills, and she then pretended to turn to leave.At the same time, she deliberately stepped on the hem of her own skirt and threw herself squarely into his arms. Jay strode forward, catching her in reflex while Mandy seized the moment to press her cheek against his chest. It felt firm, even bouncy!Jay frowned, noticing her intention.But just as he was about to push her away, he suddenly saw Zoe standing at the doorway, watching coolly as Jay and Mandy tangled.There was a sneer of disdain on her lips.They were that impatient, weren't they? Or maybe hotels were too boring for them?!Nonetheless, she told Jay calmly, "You left your bowtie in my car."They both came together from the se

Mandy had no choice but to leave, gritting her teeth even as Jay looked on.Even so, she always got everything she wanted!-The fashion gala began with the celebrities taking to the red carpet according to an arranged sequence. Mandy would usually be arranged to take the stage early in such events, but thanks to her family's influence, most event organizers would let her place later. Moreover, since Jessop Corp was one of the partners in this event, she was placed second last. But when it was her turn to walk the red carpet, she refused, citing health reasons. The red carpet was vacant for ten minutes, but the organizers could not force Mandy to do anything—no one would dare to provoke her, given her family's influence.Having no choice, the organizers had to ask Zoe to save the day.Zoe was no diva, and she agreed to it despite the apparent displeasure from Linda, her manager.But just as she prepared to take the red carpet, she heard one of the crew members mention Mandy

While everyone was left gaping at Mandy and Zoe, the crew hurried to Mandy's side, helping her to her feet when they saw her doleful look.Mandy appeared to have taken a serious fall and could not move her feet, yelping loudly with each step she took."Do you need the hospital, Ms. Jessop?" one of the crew members asked."The event is starting—there's no time," Mandy moaned through the pain. "I have to return to my seat, but I can't walk…""Alright, let's get you up…" "No, I can't!" The crew did their best to be careful, but Mandy seemed to be in too much pain, leaving them at a loss.That was when Mandy pointed at a certain seat nearby. "I think I'll sit there."Naturally, it was Zoe's seat.The crew members were certainly dumbfounded. Even among the A-list stars, Zoe ranked at least among the top three. On the other hand, Mandy could barely make the B-list. What right did she have to take the central seat of an A-lister?!One of the crew members said, "Ms. Jessop, tha

Zoe was attending Jay's university graduation ceremony when she realized that she was in love with him.She was so jealous when every classmate of his seemed to profess their love to Jay.Hence, on a dark, windy night, she stood at the main entrance of Levine Manor, waiting for Jay, who was out having dinner with Bob and the rest.The instant she saw his towering figure alighting from his car, she threw all caution to the wind and leaped into his arms. Jay stank of alcohol and only that—he never used deodorant or perfume.But even if he sweated all over after playing basketball, she would find him carrying a sense of freshness from head to toe."What is it? Don't tell me it's a nightmare. You're an adult now—Umph." Jay asked her very softly, and his eyes suddenly widened.

Jay did not appear worried at all when he saw Zoe, but instead, he asked flatly, "It's late. Why aren't you sleeping? Don't you have classes tomorrow?""What am I to you, Jay?" she asked him then.She was just seventeen at the time, and she did not understand why she was losing composure like that.She was very calm, unlike her usual pampered self—she was even willing to believe that Jay just had an accident with that actress.When she thought about it later on, she decided that she did not throw a tantrum because she did not want Jay to hate her.But at the time, Jay's answer was nonchalant and carried no hesitation. "My niece.""But, last night…" Zoe murmured."Last night?" Jay chuckled, his eyes showing no concern at all. "I was just drunk.""No, you weren't!" Zoe cried—she knew Jay could not hold his liquor, which was why he always avoided getting drunk!"Fine, I wasn't.
