Zoey knew where she stood with Laurence. She would never dream of competing with Sarah for a spot in his heart. She was no match for Sarah. And she didn’t need Tristan to remind her of that.“There’s no need to worry about me, Mr. Gray.”Zoey looked impervious to his words. She pushed him away coldly after giving him a step on the foot with her high heels. Tristan had to admit that she was an attractive one. Much prettier than the wannabe celebrities and influencers that he’d played around with before.It might be because of her beauty, along with how men always yearned for what they could not have, Tristan found himself unable to stop his thoughts about her. Once he had her, however, he would likely find her boring and ditch her as he did his past flings. His words were harsh.“Miss Jenner, do you enjoy setting foot in others’ relationships?”“Not as much as you do, Mr. Gray.” Zoey flashed him a sarcastic smile.Tristan was taken aback by what she said. He hadn’t expected her to be so

When Laurence gave it some thought, he realized that this had indeed been the situation over time.When he and Sarah were dating, she would frequently throw tantrums and get upset over trivial matters, and he would have to placate her.But she had never asked him for help with her family matters. Rather, she would go to Shawn or Tristan for help instead.Laurence mulled over the notion. “Who was the one who told her father about the project?”Tristan wasn’t sure about that, but given Laurence’s dead serious expression, he was certain that he knew something about the project.“It’s a bad idea?”“The local government has no plans to develop that plot of land.” Laurence contemplated for a moment before he continued, “Tell her to warn her father not to act recklessly, or he’ll risk losing everything.”Tristan had considered helping Sarah’s father for her sake.The Grays’ could afford to invest in the project, but the Jenners’ did not have a steady enough foundation yet.They did not have t

News that Zoey was married was more jaw-dropping than the ruckus that Mrs. Lewis had caused.It was a shocking piece of information.James Lewis was a well-known womanizer. He was never one to let a pretty girl pass him by without harassing her. He had even committed the heinous act of assaulting an intern after getting her drunk. His reputation had long been in tatters, so nothing about him surprised anyone anymore.Mrs. Lewis was utterly embarrassed by Zoey’s words and found herself in a predicament. Having worked alongside Laurence for such a long time, his demeanor and way of speaking seemed to have rubbed off on Zoey. Cool and imposing, she warned, “Mrs. Lewis, if you continue to make a scene, I will call the police.”Still, Mrs. Lewis refused to back off even though she was intimidated by Zoey’s conduct. “Just you wait.”Zoey stood her ground. “Anne, get the security.”Mrs. Lewis had no wish to be dragged away by the security, and she definitely hadn’t expected Zoey to be so re

Laurence’s answer did not surprise Zoey. She lifted her head and looked out the window. Her pursed lips turned a faint crimson red. “Someday, Mr. Scott, you will get what you wish for.”He would marry the person he loved and spend a lifetime with her.Zoey did not find the thought as unacceptable as she had thought it would be.Love was the one thing nobody had control over.She could still remember Laurence’s words and his expression when he said them.“There is no reasoning as to whether a person loves another. It all boils down to fate. It’s a feeling. There’s nothing like a love that grows over time. Most of those are merely cardinal lust. And even if one catches a fancy toward another at first sight, that might not stand the test of time. But if at first sight someone does not fall in love with you, chances are they never will.”Zoey found his words to be exceptionally true. She had always thought she had met him at the wrong time—that she had been way too late. But now, she felt

He had intentionally refrained from asking her about it when they got off work.“She didn’t,” Zoey answered after she froze for a brief second.She had hoped Laurence would not find out about such a trifling affair, but it seemed that was wishful thinking.The commotion caused in the company had not been small, to say the least.Zoey pursed her lips as she fumbled for words to explain herself. “I didn’t let her lay a finger on me.”Laurence raised his brows. “Miss Jenner, I thought that you had always been one to swallow your anger and suffer in silence.”Zoey was distracted by his words. So it turned out that Laurence had always perceived her as an easy target to pick on. However, it was true that tolerance was now her best quality.She would let slide whatever she could put up with, and she tried her best not to offend anyone if she could help it.For 16 years, Zoey had been a pampered little princess. Before things turned upside down for her family, she had also been a delicate and

Zoey thought so too.Was she worth the hassle for Sarah to deal with her?She was absolutely no threat to Sarah, but Sarah had been on her case for the longest time.Zoey looked away impassively, giving off none of what she was feeling. “I know I’m not worth it.”Laurence kept quiet as his deep, dark eyes continued to bore into her.She took a step back. “I was just spouting rubbish.”She should have held her tongue and stopped herself from saying things Laurence would never believe. That just served to make him despise her even more.It was good enough that she could maintain things as they were and have peace between them.But the fact was that Zoey no longer cared if Laurence found her annoying anymore. After experiencing so many unpleasant things, she was pretty sure that his patience toward her was running thin.After a long bout of silence, he looked at her teary eyes unfeelingly and asked calmly, “Why are you about to cry again now?” She could not sense any frustration in his wo

Zoey didn’t like the cold, so once she fell asleep, she instinctively started to burrow herself into the closest source of heat she could find, which happened to be Laurence’s embrace. He was very warm, so Zoey felt really comfortable when she slept in his embrace. It was as though she had her very own heater.However, she moved around a lot when she slept.She didn’t even notice it when her blanket slipped off her. Laurence, on the other hand, was a light sleeper. He woke up several times through the night and would patiently cover her with the blanket whenever it slipped off her.Zoey’s limbs were tightly wrapped around him.Laurence noticed that she was pretty clingy when she was asleep.He didn’t hate it, but he wasn’t exactly used to it either.…The next day was a rare occasion for Zoey woke up early. She had breakfast in the dining room with Laurence before going to the office.She was a picky eater and didn’t eat much, whereas Laurence only had a cup of coffee for breakfast.Z

Everything that had to be done before New Year's had been wrapped up. The OT situation at the office was no longer as bad as before. The annual banquet was close, and Anne was filled with positivity as a new employee who had just joined the company that year. It was also Zoey's first time attending the annual banquet, and she was unsure about the process. She had heard that there would be a lucky draw with precious prizes to be won, but she thought she wasn't a very lucky person, so receiving a participation gift was good enough for her."I secretly asked the president's secretary today, and he said the president doesn't attend the annual banquet every year. I wonder if he'll be there this time," said Anne."He's very busy.""Yeah, but there will be so many big guns at the banquet. It would feel off if the president didn't come.""Wouldn't we feel more comfortable?""Ms. Jenner, you have no idea how many new employees from the other departments are dying to get one look at the presiden
