The three of them left the restaurant."I'll send you home," Cordy and Quinn said to Zoe at the same time.Three of them exchanged glances and smiled.What chemistry.Zoe shook her head. "I'll head home myself. This place isn't far from my apartment and it's quite convenient to get home.""Why don't you let us send you home?" Quinn's eyes narrowed. "Are you going to refuse to meet us again from tomorrow onward?""How could that be? I've set my mind to taking root here," Zoe said exaggeratedly, "I forgot to tell you guys, I'm participating in this variety show called Actors on Set and I just progressed to the next stage.""So why aren't you letting us send you home?" Quinn was adamant."My house is shoddy and I'm afraid I won't be a good host to you both. After I strike it rich and buy a huge mansion, I'll invite both of you to my house and extend amazing hospitality.""I'm afraid I won't live so long to see that day come." Quinn joked with a roll of her eyes."Hey, how can yo

"Can I not tell you?""It was so painful for me to see you two get together at my expense, and yet you two did not stay together? Shouldn't you feel bad about it?""I'm sorry.""Since you are sorry about it, at least let me know the reason so that I know the reason why I lost you back then." Bob pursued the matter."It's just…sigh, how do I put it? If I told you that I asked Jay to put up an act with me because I felt inferior and not worthy of you, would you believe me?" Zoe started babbling."Do you think I'm a three-year-old?""No, but that's the truth.""Zoe York, you've never been someone with an inferiority complex.""That's all in the past. The moment I left the Levine family, I felt more and more inferior about myself. Each time I was with you, I felt so much pressure. I thought it was better to cut short the pain instead of prolonging the agony, so I asked Jay for help.""Just because of some so-called pressure?""And also because I realized that I truly didn't like

Zoe's eyes shifted.All of a sudden, she saw Jay appear, and he was surrounded by many cameras too.They were probably filming behind-the-scenes of the rehearsal.There was not much footage to offer here, though, given that she was all alone. "Where are Candice Lowe and Wynn Yaden?" the director asked."They aren't free.""You're the only one rehearsing?""I don't have anything else to do anyway," Zoe said with a smile.The director did not say anything further, and he led the camera crew away without a word."Wait," Jay suddenly called out."Mr. Parker, what's the matter?" the director asked politely."Since we're already here, let's have a look at Zoe York's solo performance.""All right." The director agreed before turning to Zoe. "Give your movie excerpt a shot."If Zoe were honest, she would have said that she was not willing to do it.There were many scenes of conflict which made it hard for her to get into the mood all by herself."Zoe York, put your best foot fo

Conversely, Zoe was thankful for the director's sudden change in instructions."Okay, call me up in a while." Wynn made a beeline for the couch in the corner of the room.Zoe began practicing her lines with Candice."No." Candice acted out the scene once through and gave up. "Without everyone in, there's no way I can get into character. I keep feeling like something is missing. Let's take a break and start again when Wynn is awake."Zoe was a lot more tactful now. She came back to the entertainment circle with a sole purpose: to not offend a single person.She nodded in agreement for Candice to lie down for a rest.Zoe crouched down low in another corner and began reading her script and memorizing her lines.Each time she went through her lines, she would record herself.It made it easier for her to decide on what the best way to deliver her lines was.Zoe waited like this all the way till the afternoon when Wynn finally stirred awake. After they were done with lunch deliver

In the midst of screaming, Zoe heard a familiar voice."It's me.""Jay Parker," the voice said in a low tone.'Jay Parker?!'Zoe was stunned for a moment.So that thing was Jay.No, no. Jay wasn't a 'thing'.All right.Regardless of whether it was a 'thing' or not, what was Jay doing here?!Did he need to rehearse his scenes in the middle of the night as well?"I dropped my phone when you pushed me just now. Help me find it, it should be nearby," Jay told her.Zoe furrowed her brows.Could he not look for his own phone?!How could she find it in this darkness?But she agreed at that moment.How could she dare offend Jay?That would immediately cut off all paths in the entertainment industry for her.She tried to walk around in search of his phone.The moment she stepped forward, she heard a suppressed grunt from Jay."I'm so sorry." Zoe immediately apologized.She probably stepped on him.Zoe was flabbergasted at how dark everything was. A power outage had cut off

Zoe was beginning to lose hope.Was she going to stay the night here?!It was probably impossible for her to try to find her phone in such darkness.She might fall to her death before she made it to the rehearsal room.It was eerily silent in the darkness, and neither of them spoke a word.They could only hear the subtle sounds of each other's breathing."Where's your phone?" Jay suddenly spoke up after a long while.Zoe almost thought that Jay had vanished into thin air."It's in my bag in the rehearsal room," Zoe replied to his question."Are you going to take it?""I don't dare to. It's too dark and scary.""You kicked my walking stick away just now.""Oh. It's next to your right arm," Zoe said.Jay crouched down and groped around in the darkness.Zoe heard the sound of the walking stick against the floor and figured that Jay probably found it.She then sensed Jay standing up next to her.Was he planning to help her take her phone?!How kind-hearted of him.No, he

"No, thank you." Zoey rejected him politely.Jay did not ask her any further. See? He was being phony after all. The night stretched on, and Zoe did not even know what time it was.She pondered the terrible prospect of sitting here the entire night.Putting aside all else, she was worried she might catch a cold from the chilly night.If that happened, how would she be well enough to participate in the second round of the competition?!Zoe was feeling anxious inside, but she did not dare to express her fears.After all, there was no point in feeling anxious.Right now, both of their phones could not be used to call others for help.What's more, it was so dark around them. There was nothing she could do.Zoe sighed.She managed to compose herself after the surge of emotions.She rationalized with herself that having overcome things that were way more difficult to swallow, like acknowledging the wrong woman as her mother, such a small issue like being trapped in a buildin

He knew that Zoe was afraid of the dark, but because of his leg condition, he wasn't able to move fast.He held his phone loosely in his hand.When he heard movement in front of him, he hastened forward.Before he could reach the source of the sound, he felt someone push him down on the floor.His phone fell from his hand as he lost balance and collapsed on the ground.Before he could make any sound, Zoe yelled in pain next to him.He bore the pain shooting up his leg and grunted.That was when Zoe calmed down.He was unable to get up because of his right foot and his walking stick which fell a distance away from him.He asked Zoe for help to search for his phone.In the process, Zoe stepped on him a couple of times.He even suspected that Zoe did it on purpose.When he heard her walking further away, he thought he was finally safe from her stomping.Who knew that the next moment, he felt her falling right on his chest.The impact of her falling on him nearly killed him.
