Cordy had just sent her text when a reply came almost instantly.[Nope.]Cordy could not help smiling. It was as if John had been waiting for her text, and she could almost imagine the look on his face. While her heart was not sent fluttering, her lips were still curling upward from habit.She replied: [It's late, and you're a patient. Sleep early, wake up early.]Once she was done, she called Walter to take her to the hospital. She had no idea when it started, but she was not that stiff toward him now. In the car, she was staring at the phone which never rang.He could really be petty sometimes. -After she arrived at the hospital, Cordy tried to be as quiet as she could as she entered John's ward. If he was obedient enough and fell asleep, she would rather not disturb him.However, there was no one in the hospital bed in that dark bedroom.Cordy was frowning when she suddenly heard movement from the bathroom, and she turned toward it just as the door suddenly swun

Today was the scheduled photoshoot for Zoe York for her endorsement of Starstream Group's fashion line for the next season.Cordy was at the studio early in the morning, personally helping Zoe with her wardrobe, hairdressing, and makeup.This was the first product launch commercial for Cordy since she took over Starstream—it was important to both her and her company, so she would not drag her feet. She had personally designed Zoe's dress according to the latter's measurements, and it was even more fitting than she imagined after Zoe put it on."I mean, I've seen your designs, but I'm still amazed at how great this looks once I put it on. This has to be the best casualwear I've ever worn—the design is as perfect as it is unique." Zoe praised generously as she looked at her reflection in the mirror. "You have to give the designer a bonus." Cordy smiled. "I'm honored.""I'm just telling it as it is," Zoe said bluntly. "If Starstream Fashion still doesn't skyrocket in popularity wi

Cordy spoke with much irony, "Kyle Jessop is really good at claiming others' achievements." She had done so much for Jessop Corp, but all of it in the end was categorized as Kyle's work.She did not hold it against him because they were in a relationship, but now, she found that it really was not worth it. "How did you two end up breaking up? Don't tell me that fire burns away your feelings for each other…""He fell for my stepsister.""Noel Sachs?" Zoe smirked. "That two-faced bitch.""You can tell?" "Anyone with eyes can. Shame that four out of five men are blind."Cordy smiled—Zoey was certainly speaking sense, and she could not help feeling a little touched.This was only their second meeting, but there was this indescribable connection between them. Even Cordy herself had to admit that they really get along well together.Since she always kept to herself even as a child, she never had many friends. While she did have a couple of close friends, everyone avoided her e

Cordy took Zoe to her apartment. Zoe certainly was the type who fell asleep easily, and she dozed off the instant they got into the car. Unable to wake Zoe up, Cordy had no idea where to take Zoe since she did not know where Zoe lived.Arriving at the parking lot below her apartment, it took Cordy some strenuous effort to get Zoe out of the car, up the elevator, and into her house, where she finally put Zoe on her bed.Cordy had always lived alone, so there was only one bed despite there being two rooms.Zoe comfortably tossed around in Cordy's bed just then, sound asleep.Cordy thought that she could just call in human traffickers to take Zoe away, and Zoe would be none the wiser.Did Zoe just not care, or was she that trusting toward Cordy?Taking a deep breath, Cordy made Zoe a glass of honey and put it on the nightstand while she took a bath.Once she was done and stepped outside, she noticed that her phone screen was flashing since it was kept on silent.She picked it up

Zoe then added, "Your bed smells really nice."Cordy smiled.After that, Zoe took a bath and put on a pair of Cordy's pajamas, walking around and surveying Cordy's home. "There's only one room...""You can still change your mind," Cordy said as she made coffee at the bar.As she usually slept very late, she did not feel drowsy since it was not midnight yet.And Zoe no longer felt sleepy after waking up either."Change my mind for what?" Zoe giggled. "It's no loss for me."Cordy suddenly stared at Zoe fixedly, and Zoe quickly came to her senses to explain, "Don't worry, I'm straight."Smiling, Cordy handed her the coffee she brewed. "I prefer my coffee black. There are sugar cubes over here if you don't like it bitter.""No, I usually take mine black too—especially when I'm tired."They both sat on the couch as Cordy turned on the TV. She happened to leave it on an entertainment channel, which was broadcasting a reality show with Zoe on it."You're really a fan of mine!" Zo

Cordy asked, "Do you have a problem with Director Parker?""No," Zoe replied nonchalantly.Even so, Cordy thought that things were weird between Zoe and Jay.For one, why would Zoe refuse to take his call? Reasonably speaking, one would feel bad if they did not answer a director's call, would they not?Or maybe Zoe was more important than the project?After all, she heard that the TV series was just slightly above B-list, but not actually A-list. And with Zoe's current status in showbiz, she could get S-list scripts whenever she wanted. But while Zoe could throw her weight around, she did not look like the type who would do that."I'm sleepy." Zoe yawned just then. "I'm going to bed.""Okay."Cordy certainly would not pry into the private affairs of others, not to mention that she and Zoe were not that close. But somehow, they were sharing a bed already.-Early the next morning, Cordy made a simple breakfast for herself and Zoe.When a drowsy Zoe emerged from the be

Mandy did not care who the director was, but she was more or less upset after Jay gave her the cold shoulder back at Alan Levine's birthday party. After a long while, Jay finally showed up on set, and the shoot began after a short exchange."Action!" Jay sat in front of the camera, but a frown soon appeared on his face."Cut!" He snapped.Suddenly told to stop, Mandy scowled immediately."What's wrong, Director?" the assistant director quickly asked."She's looking the wrong way, and her position is awkward. She carries no presence in the camera either, and her appearance as well as her costume won't do," Jay said. "The final outcome won't have any of its intended effect."Mandy scowled even harder at his words—no one had ever dared talk to her like that because of her family background!"Prop team, adjust her appearance. I don't want your run-of-the-mill web celebrity cheap aesthetic. As for the actors and actresses, study the script again to understand it further," Jay fin

John had been constantly texting Cordy before he got discharged. While he did not ask her to visit him before he left the hospital, he was talking about everything else. That includes asking if she was busy, as well as offhandedly and casually mentioning that he could get discharged since the doctors told him that he was recovering well.He was really doing everything he could just to get her here to see him.Still, his efforts were not wasted on Cordy as she actually came to the hospital early in the morning.Randy Martin was busy with paperwork, packing up and everything else. On the other hand, John had changed out of his patient garb into a casual light blue shirt, with slim-cut outdoor pants beneath. It was less prim and formal than his usual suit and tie, but it painted him with a carefree elegance while retaining his usual good looks.But as he sat on the couch, still as a pond, he was glowering…That was, until Cordy's arrival. Randy was certainly rejoicing over her
