Jessica's POV

When I discovered that my new neighbor was Zander, I was momentarily stunned, unable to react at first.

How could he just show up here? How did he become my neighbor?

Zander saw me, and his eyes flickered with a hint of surprise, but he quickly tried to hide it, returning to his usual indifferent expression.

However, I still caught the undeniable joy deep in his eyes.

"Good afternoon, Jessica," he said blandly, trying his best to make his voice sound unaffected.

I frowned, directly accusing him, "You've been investigating me, stalking me?"

Zander looked at my expression with only surprise, but not unexpectedness.

So, I couldn't believe this was merely a coincidence.

If he really had been secretly monitoring me, that would be unacceptable.

Zander shook his head slightly, a hint of helplessness crossing his face, "Our home is too quiet now, I can't sleep."

I let out a cold laugh, sarcastically reto

Why the rush to go to the company?"I looked at him, my tone resolute, "It's just a common fever. I'm not as fragile as you think.

I'm worried about you."She lifted her head, looked at me, and then said, "Haven't you seen today's entertainment news?"I quickly took out my phone from my bag, eager to open Twitter, my fingers swiftly scrolling on the screen.

On our way to the restroom, she couldn't stop chattering, "Did you see that annoying look on Zander's face? I really wanted to rush over and punch him hard. This man is even worse than those oranges on the streets of Los Angeles that are thrown away after being squeezed dry!"I let out a helpless chuckle."Jess, are you really planning to stay here and watch him canoodle with Tawny?

J&Z, the name itself sounds like it's derived from the initials of two people's names," another chipped in."Which Mr. Harrison are they talking about?" someone asked, confused."Are you drunk? How many Harrisons in Los Angeles can afford billions? It's obviously Zander Harrison," came the reply.J&Z, a name I knew all too well.
