Love in the dark Chapter 133
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
Love in the dark Chapter 134
Zoey didn't think Laurence was a player."Maybe he already has feelings for someone."Anne cried and said, "How could someone as good as Mr. Scott have feelings for someone and still be single?"Zoey hesitated for a while."Maybe."What was Laurence's definition of love? Based on Zoey's understanding of him after knowing him for so long, he didn't care if someone he didn't care about loved him or hated him. He couldn't give two damns. It wouldn't affect him at all.However, if it was someone he had feelings for, he demanded their unconditional love. Love that was unbridled and absolute, from their body to their soul. His strong possessiveness could throw someone off balance. Perhaps it was because of this that Sarah had chosen to leave the country back then. Zoey and Anne were chatting enthusiastically when Matthew suddenly appeared behind them. He conveyed Laurence's message seriously."Ms. Jenner, Mr. Scott said that if you're very free here, you can ask for leave."Zoey stayed calm

Sarah wanted to go, and Laurence wouldn't stop her. He knew her temper well. She had a bit of an attitude and was a drama queen. Sarah was dressed especially gorgeous that day and her makeup was flawless. Her features were defined and when she smiled, she looked so innocent. She wore an eye-catching red dress that exposed her back. Holding his arm, she looked completely natural and at ease."Am I prettier than those celebrities from your company?"Laurence looked at her gently and smiled. His tone didn't betray whether he meant it when he said, "Do you want to hear a lie or the truth?"Sarah tilted her face towards his and looked him in the eye."The truth of course."Laurence snickered."I'm worried you'll feel hurt."Sarah was very good at acting up toward him and said in a perfectly coy tone, "Are you saying they're prettier than me?"Laurence did not say yes or no."Those are your own words."Sarah had always used an intimate tone to close the distance between them. She gazed at hi
Love in the dark Chapter 136
Zoey wrapped herself in her wool coat, but part of her shoulders was still exposed. She left quietly through the side door and nobody noticed. A red carpet was laid out along the corridor of the hotel. There were still reporters waiting outside, trying to capture some hot exclusive news. Although the president of Scott Group wasn't an artist in the entertainment industry, he was more famous than some actual celebrities. Netizens were also very interested in his love life.Zoey caught her breath in the corridor. She had always hated the reporters' cameras and would avoid places with reporters. She booked a ride. The city streets were always jammed on weekends. She sat down in the lobby and patiently waited for her ride. Little did she expect to meet someone she didn't want to see at all. Shawn was like a venomous snake who would rip her heart out with his fangs and kill her like she was his prey. He was dressed in a black suit and a long overcoat, making him look fierce and intimidatin
Love in the dark Chapter 137
Only then could he ease the burning pain in his heart that had pained him for so long.Zoey was already trying very hard to control herself in front of Shawn, and she couldn't take it any longer. “You weren't like this before,” she said.He was such a psycho. He deserved being ostracized in his teenage days. Shawn's gaze deepened. He snorted and said, “Ms. Jenner, you speak as if we're very close.”Were they close? Zoey guessed they’d been close once; people could even call them young lovebirds. However, she couldn't expect him to remember their little bond. He’d long forgotten about it, including who she was. Zoey didn't know how to answer him. Shawn absolutely hated it when people tried to act familiar with him and bring up the past. Everything that had happened before he was 17 was blurry in his memory. Not only that, it brought him misery. He refused to recall it and couldn’t even if he tried. Rage burned in him, and he gripped her throat viciously.“So you like the old me, Ms. J
Love in the dark Chapter 138
Zoey spoke softly and mildly for fear that she would displease him. Laurence cocked an eyebrow as he contemplated it. “I think not,” he said. Zoey didn’t let even an ounce of disappointment or displeasure show on her face. Although her heart fell, she kept her chin up. “Oh,” she said. After recovering from the disappointment, she added, “No problem.” The special dance was the staff's idea anyway, so nobody dared to say anything, even if the president refused. He was the higher-up who called the shots.Zoey gripped the strip of paper with her number on it while thinking she wasn't very interested in going to Wormot anyway. Her life was a mess, and she wasn't in the mood to travel. She looked at Laurence and asked, “Mr. Scott, how do I redeem this trip in cash?”She cared more about the money. The way Laurence looked at her was indifferent, and it was hard to tell if he was disappointed in her. Perhaps he’d never met any woman who loved money as much as she did. “You can ask the admini
Love in the dark Chapter 139
Zoey's chest hurt from anger, and she stomped on his foot savagely with her high heels. “Who do you think you are?”Shawn's pain tolerance was way higher than any ordinary person's. Hs expression showed no change despite that vicious stomp, and he said in a normal voice, “You're so desperate for Laurence, but has he ever looked at you?”Zoey said, “It's none of your business.” She didn't want to admit it to others. “I don't love him.” Soon, she’d manage to make it a reality. Her feelings for him would slowly dwindle until there was none left. She knew that day would come.Their intimacy soon attracted attention. Moreover, Shawn was good-looking, and was the scion of the Zuckman family. How could the young ladies not be drawn to him? They’d most likely not approached him only because he looked so intimidating.When Shawn heard her say that she didn't love Laurence, his annoyance strangely faded into calm. Gazing at her face, he kept finding her familiar, but he couldn't recall where he’

The company went on an extended break after the annual banquet with three extra days off. Work only started on the tenth day of the new year.Zoey packed a simple suitcase. She’d already bought plane tickets back to Southgrove earlier on. It was more difficult to buy plane tickets during the new year was more difficult, and it was more expensive as well.Before she left, Zoey went to the hospital. She’d visit her mother in the ward every weekend, hold her hand and talk to her, although she still showed no response.Sometimes, she’d stare at the heart rate monitor and wonder if she should really be keeping her mother here. She kept feeling that her mother would wake up someday. That day could be years away, but she could wait. She really couldn't bring herself to give up, selfishly holding on to a ray of hope.Zoey went to consult the doctor, and he said in the gentlest way possible, “There is hope, but it's not very likely.”Whether her mother would wake up from her coma was up to god
