There was a moment of silence before he asked, "Which corridor are you in?""The second floor, uh…" Zyra turned and looked around. "It's in the corridor next to Room 2012.""Alright, please take him with you and don't leave. I'll be right there," the man said and hung up.Zyra was afraid that the little boy would be afraid, so she held his small hand and found a topic to talk about. "What's your name?"The little boy did not seem afraid at all. He looked at her with his big eyes and did not answer.Zyra pursed her lips and asked again.This time the boy spoke, but he didn't say his name. He said "Mom."Zyra subconsciously turned around to look. The corridor was empty, and there was no one there."Where's your mother?" she asked the little boy in surprise.The little boy pointed at her and called out, "Mommy."Zyra smiled. "You miss your mother, don't you? Auntie has already called your father. Your father and mother will come and pick you up in a while.""Mommy," the boy sai
Zyra was a little afraid, but she pretended to be calm and said, "I'm sorry. I came here with my colleagues today. If I don't go back after a time, they will come looking for me."She wanted to let him know that she was not alone and could not be bullied casually."Call them. Tell them you've met a friend. Have a drink or two with him." A commanding tone.Originally, Zyra was a little afraid of him, but after hearing his arrogant tone, she immediately felt a little angry. This person was persistent!Her expression turned cold. "I'm sorry. I don't know you at all, let alone be friends with you. Please make way. I'm going back."The man did not answer.She looked up at him and happened to meet his gaze.His gaze was very strange. He looked a little disappointed and a little annoyed.She was stunned for a moment. Then, she saw the man take two steps back and show a gentlemanly expression. "I'm sorry, please."Zyra immediately walked past him.After walking a little further, she
Zyra was stunned. She didn't know why Mrs. Brooks was so excited."Didn't you go to look for a colleague? Why are you here?" A low and mellow male voice sounded.Sonnet turned and saw Logan coming out. He had probably heard the commotion at the door. Indeed, from the way he was talking to Zyra, the two have already met.Sonnet’s curiosity was piqued. She wondered what had happened...Her gossipy nature intensified, and even her eyes seemed to light up.Zyra was a little embarrassed by Logan's question. "Um, I haven't found the room yet… Which way is 2035?"Logan chuckled and pointed ahead. "Walk to the corner and go left, then right, then left, then right—""Wait, wait!" Zyra interrupted him. She took out her phone to take notes seriously. "Go left to right, then left to right, and then what?""Then what? He's teasing you!" Sonnet couldn't hide her smile. "Don't listen to him. Just turn left and then right. Then, keep walking until you reach it."She raised her head and glance
She felt like she had interrupted someone else's family gathering and felt a little uncomfortable."Have a seat." Logan arranged a seat for her like a gentleman. When she sat down, she realized it was the main seat because she was facing the birthday cake on the table."Well, I think I'll sit next to you." She was a little restrained and wanted to stand up, but a big hand pressed down on her shoulder."Aren't you going to play Little Shay's mother? Of course, you have to accompany him to blow out the candles," he said softly.Zyra did not know what to say, so she could only sit obediently."Aren't you going to introduce us, Old Scott?" Of the two young men, the one with peach-blossom eyes spoke lazily.Logan looked at Zyra. "What's your name?""Zyra Wilkis." Before Zyra could speak, Maxwell answered for her and introduced her. "She's the new designer of Eternal Jewelry.""Oh—so she's a talented girl," peach-blossom eyes said with an exaggerated expression."You flatter me. It'
"Oh, I'm sorry, Director May. I happened to meet a friend and chatted with him for a while. Um, I'll go back now."To be honest, she felt a little awkward here.After hanging up, she looked at Sonnet. Sonnet understood and asked, "Did you come here for a company outing?"Seeing Zyra nod, she smiled and said, "Then go back quickly."Zyra looked at Shay, who was busy eating the cake, and suddenly felt a little sorry for him.Sonnet smiled and said, "Shay is fine. We'll convince him. Leave quickly."She held Zyra's arm and sent her out of the room. She pointed to the front and said, "Remember, walk forward, turn left, and then right. Then, you'll reach 2035."Zyra nodded and bid her farewell before walking off. After a few steps, she suddenly heard Sonnet call. She turned and saw Sonnet smiling at her. "Thank you for today. It's the first time Little Shay has felt Mother's company."Feeling touched, Zyra replied without thinking, "If you need anything in the future, just call me."
It seems that he gave them a free meal to express his gratitude for accompanying his son on his birthday just now.Thinking of Logan's roguish appearance, Zyra couldn't help but laugh. Indeed, the boss would cultivate the same kind of subordinates. Those people were trying to do a good deed but they made it seem like they were here to beat them up!"Does anyone here know Logan?" Jordan asked.Everyone shook their heads. A girl whispered, "If I knew him, I would have bragged in front of you. Why would I hide it?"Everyone laughed.Zyra didn't say anything. She felt that there was no need to tell her colleagues about her experience. If she did, it would easily cause others to speculate and that wouldn't be good. After all, she probably wouldn't have any interactions with Logan in the future.Jordan's expression was serious. "Although I don't know what happened today, I think that Boss Scott doesn't have any ill intentions. However, don't go and tell anyone about this. After all, we
A few days later, Zyra was drawing a design draft in her office when the front desk suddenly called. "Designer Wilkis, someone is looking for you."Zyra was extremely surprised. She did not have many friends in Harbor City. Even if they were friends, why would they come to her company during work hours without contacting her?She went to the front desk. The receptionist's name was Sara Lyn, a young lady in her early twenties.She said to Zyra, "I've already invited her to the waiting room… " As she spoke, she looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated.Zyra could tell and asked, "What's wrong?""Those two people look quite fierce. They don't look like good people. Have you ever provoked such people?" Sara said.Zyra shook her head. "I've only been in Harbor City for a few days. I only know people from the company.""They're looking for you by name. They even know that you're a designer here. It should be right. Go and take a look," Sara replied.Zyra nodded and walke
"Zyra, are you alright?" Jordan walked over.Zyra calmed herself down and smiled at Jordan. "It's fine. They just found the wrong person.""I think those people are loan sharks…" The security guard beside him muttered softly, "Designer Wilkis, did someone from your family borrow money from them?"Zyra's face stiffened. "They found the wrong person. My family is dead.""Oh." The security guard didn't believe her, but he didn't ask further. He kindly reminded her, "Then you'd better be careful. These people are very difficult to deal with.""Thank you. I'll be careful." Zyra smiled.When she finished work in the evening, Jordan came to look for her. "Little Wilkis, shall I send you home?"Zyra looked at him in surprise.He touched his head and smiled. "I'm afraid that those people will be waiting for you downstairs in the afternoon. Wouldn't it be dangerous for a girl like you?""I don't think so.""Little Wilkis, you're inexperienced in the world and don't know the dangerous s
The young ladies below gathered together and discussed animatedly. As they spoke, they covered their mouths and laughed.Young Master Gunnnn didn't care what others said about him at all. He only focused on the bouquet in Sonnet's hand.Not only Sonnet's bonnet but also Lindy's and Zyra's. He wanted them all.Lindy was waiting beside Sonnet. When she saw Hayden's focused expression, she couldn't help but laugh. "Why? Hayden hasn't successfully won over Suki yet?"Sonnet smiled and replied, "That's right. It's said that every time Suki agreed to register their marriage the next day, someone would die the next day. Later on, Suki didn't let him talk about registering their marriage.""Young Master Gunn is really infatuated!" Zyra sighed.Lindy rolled her eyes at her. "He's not infatuated at all. Among those men, he's the most flirtatious. Zyra, you don't know what Hayden was like in the past. He went to the nightclub almost every night and changed his girlfriend every week! He boas
Sonnet never expected her father to be the son of a wealthy family in North City!More than twenty years ago, he met her mother, Leah Turner, and they fell in love. Leah was a female university student from a rural area. There was a huge disparity in family status, and the Turner family did not agree to this marriage.Myles’ mother had passed away early, and his stepmother did not treat him well. Therefore, when Myles was angry with his father because of Leah, she added fuel to the fire, causing father and son to fall out.Myles severed his ties with the Turner family and returned to his hometown with Leah, becoming a language teacher in the village.Not only that, but Sonnet also knew that Myles had studied under Mr. Oddie when he was in North City. Back then, his pen name was Mr. Edelweiss. In other words, the Everglow that Sonnet gave Will Brooks was painted by him!Some time ago, Will needed money so he sold the Everglow painting on the market. Coincidentally, a collector from
"What's going on?" Sonnet asked.Zyra held Sonnet's hand. "Actually, we're family."Sonnet was puzzled, but Logan smiled and said, "Zyra is Shay's biological aunt. The test results are out today, proving that she is indeed related to Little Shay!""Ah… What's going on?" Sonnet was very surprised.Zyra held her hand and explained, "Before my mother passed away, she told me something. She said that I had a biological sister. Three days after she was born, she was secretly carried away and sold by my patriarchal grandmother. Later, my mother was pregnant with me and never said anything for so many years. She only told me this before she passed away."She said that she asked around later and said that my biological sister was sold to Harbor City. This was also why I chose to accept the designer position at Eternal Jewelry back then. I always wanted to fulfill my mother's dream before she passed away and find my sister in my lifetime.Back then, when I saw Yasmin Finch's photo, I susp
Hayden immediately became alert. "You're too tired. Rest first. I'll pick you up for supper."Suki didn't refuse. He immediately drove off.There were no cars in the middle of the night, so he arrived in ten minutes. After calling Suki, she came out in less than two minutes. She looked very tired as if she couldn't even walk.Hayden immediately went out to open the door for her. As soon as she got in, she leaned against the back of the seat and sighed."Are you tired?" Hayden asked."That's right. We went to the scene first and then dissected it without stopping. The corpse this time was a little complicated. We didn't even have time to eat."Hayden's heart ached when he heard her words. He quickly handed her the supper. "Hurry up and eat some."Suki didn't take it. "I don't have much of an appetite now. Let's eat later. I'll rest for a while."Hayden started the car. "Take a few bites first. Don't starve yourself.""It’s already ruined." Suki smiled bitterly. "When I first st
"If you have something to say, just say it." Suki looked ahead."Well, when we were eating just now, what did you think when you saw that they were getting married?""I don't think anything of it. Everyone's life is different," Suki said calmly.Hayden stole a glance at her. "Haven't you ever thought—"When he saw Suki turn to look at him, he choked on the second half of his sentence."What are you thinking about? Marriage?" Suki chuckled. "What's so good about marriage? Once you get married, you're trapped. You can't even change to another man."Hayden immediately felt stifled. This woman still wanted to change men…No, how could his woman think of changing men? He had to work harder so she didn't have the time or energy to think of changing men.Or rather, he should trap her. Once she was tied up, she would not be able to escape."Besides, I'm very busy with work and my profession is scary. I don't think anyone can accept me even if I wanted to," Suki continued."That won't
Amidst the laughter, Marcus clapped his hands and said, "Lindy and I have already set a time for our wedding. You have to help!"Logan waved his hand. "Count the two of us in!"Everyone was stunned.Hayden spat at Logan. "What are you doing here?""What’s wrong with joining in the fun?" Logan rolled his eyes at him and threw down his red booklet. "I just registered my marriage!"Everyone was in an uproar and started talking at once.Zyra blushed and lowered her head. Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice. "Congratulations!"She looked up and saw Sonnet.Sonnet smiled gently. "Congratulations on finding a good man."Zyra stammered, "Madam Brooks, don't you think it's too fast?""To be honest, the first time I saw you, I felt that you and CEO Scott are too compatible. It doesn't matter if someone is fated or not. It's fine as long as their hearts are connected," Sonnet replied with a smile.Zyra also smiled.As they chatted and laughed, they came to an agreement. Maxwell and S
Sara nodded mechanically. When the two of them got into the car, she remembered to shout, "CEO Scott, lunch today is already very good. There's no need to treat us anymore!"Logan smiled and said to Zyra, "Your colleague is an honest girl."The car started, but it was not in the direction of Zyra's house."Where are we going?""I'm taking you to see someone.""Who?"Logan smiled but did not answer. "You'll know when you get there."Half an hour later, when she saw the cemetery, Zyra knew who Logan had brought her to meet.She followed Logan silently to Yasmin's tombstone. She actually felt a little guilty, as if she had stolen someone else's position.Logan placed the white rose in his hand in front of the tombstone and said softly, "Yasmin, I'm going to marry a wife. You won't be angry, right?"Zyra looked at Logan in surprise. Marry a wife…She had only slept with him twice, and he was already going to marry her?The surroundings were silent except for the sound of the br
"Isn't your man handsome?" Logan closed his eyes and suddenly spoke.Zyra was stunned for a moment before her face turned red. She turned around shyly."He's just like a bandit. What's so handsome about him…" she said contentiously."Bandit?" Logan raised his eyebrows and looked at Zyra's smooth shoulders.He recalled the taste of last night and his heart began to stir again."I was a gentleman last night. You haven't yet seen your man acting like a bandit!"As soon as he finished speaking, he pounced…Zyra regretted saying those words and inciting a new round of "war". She did not expect that fellow's words to be true. It turned out that he could still be a little more "bandit"!As they left, she hugged him and asked, "Who am I?""You're my Little Zyra, Little Zyra."Zyra was completely relieved.That morning, Logan drove her to the office.In the afternoon, Zyra was about to go for lunch with her colleagues when she suddenly heard a commotion outside. Then, Sara brought a
There was an indescribable melancholy in her heart, sour and bitter."The investigation might be because of my wife, but it’s not about helping you," Logan replied as he looked at her face.At this moment, he was very clear that the face in front of him was not Yasmin's face at all. Other than the fact that she looked similar to Yasmin, the rest of her features did not look alike at all.She looked weak, but she was very strong on the inside. She looked heartless, but her emotions were very fragile. She was like a blade of grass in the wilderness, growing tenaciously, growing the toughness that belonged to grass and the beauty of grass.She and Yasmin were two completely different women!"Then you're helping me…" Zyra asked softly. When she asked this, her heart was beating wildly."Don't I have a favor to ask of you?" Logan smiled. "I wanted you to see my son once a week."Wasn't it because he wanted her to pretend to be his son's mother?Zyra was a little disappointed, but Lo
