Zoe still did not understand. "So what?""So you're not suitable for said scene," Jay replied."How so?" Zoe scoffed. "Is my figure lacking, perhaps? So much so that I don't have your attention, director?"Jay glowered right then.He never got angered easily, but he just had a high standard for filming. He would not keep a scene if he were unhappy about it, but he rarely threw a fit because of that unless he really could not take it.But the air around him at the moment was frighteningly chilling. No one on set dared to make a sound as the atmosphere suddenly seemed to become suffocating."Zoe…" Penny tugged at Zoe's sleeve lightly.She was certainly concerned that they would really come to blows.Whatever the case may be, they could not afford to provoke Jay since he was both a famous director and a member of the Levine family.And with that, Zoe gritted her teeth and kicked a chair nearby, knocking it over very loudly.Everyone was left stunned and watched as Zoe turned to

John replied, "They're both family."Cordy frowned—how brotherly was he toward Jay, really?!She could not help feeling bad for Zoe just then, who clearly loved John to bits.Despite the occasional bickering, Zoe would never allow anyone to badmouth John, and there was obvious blind worship whenever she spoke of John. And anything John asked, she would always do it obediently—no matter how much reluctant she was.And yet, considering how rocky Zoe's relationship with Jay was…Both men really didn't deserve Zoe's affection! They were just not worth it!Still, Cordy stayed quiet despite her mood and checked the news on her phone instead. There would probably be a lot of articles about her in these couple of days, and it was reasonable that she should check things out. While most of the headlines were showering her with praise, the media was sticking to their favorite habit of publishing one abusive article for each praiseful article. As such, aside from the articles praising

John grinned as Cordy turned away from him.She was really refusing him utterly!At the same time, Cordy continued to browse the news articles nonchalantly as she asked, "Why did you hide your face when you came?" "I thought I had no right," John replied. No right?As Cordy looked up at him, he explained, "One of your conditions for dating me, Ms. Sachs, is that we do not go public about our relationship."Cordy pursed her lips—she definitely did not say that, just as she was reluctant now.In fact, she was not that confident about dating John, and yet…Perhaps she was starting to feel a spark, or she was just reluctant to reject John's kindness. Nevertheless, she genuinely had a hard time trusting everyone else after her relationship with Kyle and having grown up abused by the Sachs.Going public with their relationship would only add to her troubles—aside from worrying that things would end poorly between them, she had to worry about the inconveniences that John's status

John was as surprised, though Cordy must admit that she was too."I don't know why she asked me to do that. Maybe it's because she was worried I'll attract too much attention and draw problems to myself. However…"Cordy paused, working hard to remember her mother's appearance before she continued, "However, my mother wasn't the type who took things lying down. That's why I don't know why she asked that of me, and it's a shame that she's no longer around and I'll never have answers. Even so, she was the only one in this world I trust and who genuinely cared about me. That's why I'll always keep her words in my heart."John was silent, and Cordy thought he was probably wondering why her mother would ask that of her. Why hide when Cordy was one of the best fashion designers out there?"If Mandy didn't try to frame me, I would have kept hiding my identity as Lovely," Cordy then murmured, ultimately slightly disappointed that she could not fulfill her late mother's wish.John could n

Innocence?! John?!What innocence did he have when his son was already five?!However, although Cordy was pouting, she could not help smiling just then.It honestly felt very good to be loved and respected.-Cordy woke up naturally the next morning. Although she had gone missing for a whole day, no one aside from Zoe called her—not even from work.She washed up and opened the glass door in her room.The sun was bright and the ocean's breeze blew.She stood on the wide open balcony and stared at the clear water before her, so clear she could see the bottom.As she looked down, she also saw the muscular man swimming in the private pool beneath.He paused, seemingly sensing someone looking at him just then, and he stood in the middle of the pool. As water streamed down along his body, his alluring Adam's apple and chiseled chest were especially eye-catching.He was nonchalantly running his hand through his hair as he looked up, revealing his exquisite facial features in full

Fiery passion?! To think John had the cheek to say that! And who on earth packed that bikini in her luggage anyway?In fact, that was the only thing she found after she searched the whole closet!Cordy still clearly remembered that Zoe was the one who gave it to her, saying that it was a gift from a sponsor after some sort of event. However, Zoe insisted that she could not wear something so risque as a public figure or the paparazzi would try to spice things up if they got a photo. Still, Zoe insisted that it was beautiful and should not be left to gather dust, and she gave it to Cordy, saying that Cordy would definitely look good with her amazing figure. Cordy did not want to turn down Zoe's enthusiasm, but she had no plans to wear it even after accepting it.And John had to put this in her luggage so that she only had it for swimwear!"Did you tell Winston to pack my luggage?" she asked in annoyance."Does Winston have such a keen eye for beauty?" John asked in return, c

Cordy realized what the 'fun' John meant was all about on the third day of their trip.It was very early in the morning when he scooped her out of bed even before she woke up.He then carried her to a luxurious yacht and set sail further out to the ocean.When she was finally wide awake, they were already in the middle of nowhere, the yacht gently floating against the swell of the waters."Here, put on some sunscreen," John said as he got down from the deck."It's fine," Cordy replied, still lying on a beach chair. "I'm staying here… Oh!"Cordy pursed her lips as John held her firmly against her seat, his long fingers applying sunscreen over her back and spreading it evenly.He was covering every nook and cranny, and she would doubt anyone who told her he did not have OCD!She wanted to refuse him a couple of times but since resistance was futile, she should just save her strength and lie down to enjoy it. "Shall I do the front too?" John asked."Nope!" she snapped and snatc

It was night by the time they returned to the villa, and Cordy was so exhausted she did not want to move.And yet, as soon as morning arrived the next day, John dragged her out of bed again and took her to the helicopter.At first, things were calm and relaxing since the helicopter was just taking them on a tour around the island.That was until John brought out the parachute.Was she allowed to refuse?!"We're jumping together. I'll be holding onto you," John told her.That was not the point! She had a fear of heights!Nonetheless, John strapped her to himself with a harness and walked her to the helicopter door."John…" she muttered. "Yes?"Cordy closed her eyes as she gave in. "If I die, I'll return as a vengeful spirit that haunts your dreams.""Exactly what I had in mind too." John heaved into her ear with his magnetic voice, and they both jumped out of the helicopter.Cordy still kept her eyes closed, and all she felt was the wind blowing against her ear, the abrupt
