She quietly watched his eyes and movements as she asked, “Mr. Scott, have you ever had feelings for Yvette?”That woman had been willing to die for him not long ago.Laurence answered coldly, “No.”It was a clear and straightforward answer that left no room for doubt, but Zoey could not make sense of it. How was it possible? She witnessed it herself. Yvette’s arms were hooked around his neck. It was undeniable that they were young and in love, like in the movies. Laurence lifted her chin with a faint smile. It did not seem like nothing.Zoey did not ask further. He had already answered her questions long before. Laurence had only truly loved Sarah in his lifetime. It was a tranquil night, so she was probably just too bored.Zoey continued to ask casually, “If we did not have an agreement, would you like someone like me?”Laurence lifted his dark eyes and bored deep into hers. His gaze was profound, and he looked as though he could read her every thought. Zoey managed to hide her love f
Love in the dark Chapter 71
Robert had long wanted to gain connections with the Scott family. It was not an overstatement to say he would do anything for power. However, Zoey was very curious about how Sarah and Laurence would get married. Laurence had not planned on getting a divorce anytime soon when she raised the issue in the past.Robert had used all his might to slap her, leaving a numbing sensation on her face. When she was younger, she was used to enduring his violence, but now she no longer had to. He had never paid for the medical fees, so she no longer had to fear him.Zoey smirked.“Isn’t Laurence deeply in love with Sarah? If that’s the case, nothing I do will change a thing.”Robert’s face darkened at her words. He thought the same at first. He assumed Laurence and Sarah would have a smooth marriage after she recovered and returned home. However, so much time had passed, yet Laurence had not indicated that he intended to marry Sarah. He had never even visited the Jenner family more than twice.After

Zoey already knew this. But, it somehow felt and sounded different coming out of his mouth. “Sarah is special to me.”It was such a short statement, yet it held so much weight. Zoey felt that it was a warning. Laurence was warning her to stay in line and not test Sarah’s place in his heart. He held her tightly in his arms, and they were as close as can be. However, their hearts were universes apart.…Before she was discharged, Laurence took her for another allergy test and had the report rushed. As Zoey was waiting for him outside, she received a text message from the girl she helped with the design before. “Zoey, I’ve recommended you to my cousin. He has a villa that needs renovating, and the commission is quite high. Would you like to meet up?”She had no intention of returning to work. As long as Laurence doesn’t urge her to return, she would not go back.She replied, “Okay.” Just as she replied to the message, Laurence walked toward her and handed her the report. Zoey skimmed t

It was even more mentally exhausting to deal with his scandals.Zoey asked, "Mr. Scott, didn't you promise me three months of leave to rest at home?"Laurence remembered that he had indeed said so. He wouldn't go back on his word, but he also wasn't someone to mess with. He caressed her face absentmindedly and smiled mischievously, "I did allow it, but didn't you reject it?" Laurence had an excellent memory.He added, "I remember changing it to a month."Zoey could not refute him. Laurence pushed on and said, "It's been almost a month and a half. As an evil capitalist, I've been kind enough to you, right?"Zoey was never as eloquent as he was. Her face turned red, but she couldn't come up with anything clever to say."I still want to take a break."His expression immediately darkened, and his smile disappeared. He pinched her cheek with his thumb and retorted, "Are you going to hold your surgery over me for my entire life?"She was stunned. That was not her intention. Laurence thought

Next Monday was the due date that Laurence set for her. Zoey was unable to convince him to change his mind either. He may look easy-going on the outside, but that was all to it. Of course, he couldn't have succeeded today without any tactics. Zoey insisted, "Mr. Scott, I'm still going to resign."Laurence raised his eyebrows."Alright. Get the money ready, and you can leave anytime."Zoey gritted his teeth and stomped on his foot exasperatedly. However, Zoey was wearing slippers, so it did not hurt him. Laurence pinched her waist and inched his knee deeper."Are you looking for trouble?" Zoey finally felt appeased after stepping on him."Don't blame me if I do a bad job at work."Laurence lifted her chin with playful eyes."Of course, we all know how capable you are."It was getting late, so Laurence decided to stop while he was ahead. He felt pleased to see her hold back her anger, not daring to fight back. He couldn't resist the urge and planted a kiss on her face. "If you're tire
Love in the dark Chapter 75
Laurence was in the midst of a meeting when he received the message. There was a ping on his phone, but he ignored it. Everyone else pretended not to have heard anything. Obviously, nobody would question the president about it, and they continued to present the proposal as if nothing had happened.No one dared to be at ease during the meeting. After the meeting ended, their backs were all wet from sweating out of nervousness. Their sweat-soaked shirts stuck to their backs making them sticky and uncomfortable. Nobody could tell if Laurence was satisfied with the proposal today. They peeked at him cautiously, but he remained calm and collected without even batting an eyelid. Laurence tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table.After a moment, he ordered, “Meeting dismissed.”Everyone let out a breath of relief. Seems like there was no need to work overtime today. Laurence finally had time, and he glanced at the unread message on his phone.Shawn’s text was clear as day, “I slept with Z
Love in the dark Chapter 76
Zoey was always entirely focused at work. She would not even bat an eyelid if something happened outside. Laurence slowly walked up behind her, but she didn’t even notice. It wasn’t until Laurence gently tapped on her drawing board that she got out of focus.She hurriedly looked up and rubbed her eyes, asking, “Why are you back so early?”Laurence did not reply. Instead, he looked at her computer calmly, taking in the complicated designs. “Are you busy?” He asked.Zoey knew Laurence did not like her working on designs. She acted calm as she turned off the computer. “It’s been a while since I last drew, so I’m a little rusty. I’m trying to get back on track.”Laurence knew she was lying, but he did not expose her. He was more curious about something else. “Did you meet Shawn today?”Zoey did not dare to admit it, but by the sounds of it, he must’ve found out something.Realizing it would not be a good idea to lie persistently, Zoey thought momentarily and answered, “Yes, I’ve met him

The tickets were for VIP seats. They were next to each other and offered the best view. It was also the work of Lupin, a renowned musical performer who rarely performed, so tickets were hard to come by. However, it wouldn’t be a problem for Laurence. All he needed was to say the word, and someone would send him tickets.Zoey stared at the date and location on the ticket. She really wanted to go, but getting tickets was hard; more importantly, she did not want to run into them at the hall's entrance. Zoey regained her calm composure, knocked on the door of Laurence’s office, and walked in. She put the tickets on his desk. “Mr. Scott, here are the tickets.”Laurence did not seem to care. He glanced at her and asked, “Is work tiring today?”Zoey shook her head and answered, “Not really.”She wasn’t exhausted. There was not much for her to do, not even some miscellaneous tasks. Laurence fell silent for a moment; then, he waved to her. “Come here.”Zoey was slightly hesitant. After all, t
