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

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

Zoey had never been on a date even at her age so she felt nervous at the thought of it. Anne finally had some time after examining the contracts.She pulled a chair and sat beside Zoey, saying, “Miss Jenner, I really feel that Mr. Scott’s mood has greatly improved since you returned.”Zoey felt that she was exaggerating and being polite so she played dumb, and said, “Is that so? Maybe I’m a bit dull.” Anne nodded her head with assurance. “Yeah! This morning’s meeting was like a breath of fresh air.”Zoey was not present for the meeting so she did not know. However, she wasn’t interested in this.Instead, she looked at Anne and asked, “How old are you?”Anne replied, “22.”She had just recently graduated with a first-class from 985 University, beating hundreds of other applicants to get this job. Zoey was not much older than her.She grabbed her hand and asked, “Have you dated anyone before?”“Of course!”“So what do you and your boyfriend do on dates?”“We eat and go shopping.”“Oh.”

She should make the high and mighty Laurence Scott fall on his face. Especially what he said when persuading Zoey to get the surgery; he was ruthless and vile beyond words. Although everything he said was the truth, it was unsympathetic at the same time as if he was somewhat superior, weighing the advantages and disadvantages in every sentence.He thought of everything, but he never considered Zoey’s feelings nor did he care if she was upset. Zoey smiled bitterly as she knew Laurence would never put others above himself. Besides, he would never fall in love with her. Those were his own words. Zoey stared at the shadows outside the car, and asked solemnly, “Arielle, am I acting cheap?”Arielle replied, “Of course not. From Laurence's perspective, he just doesn’t love you. But you’ve liked him for so many years, it’s not something that can change overnight. Don’t think of yourself as cheap. Just treat it like a transaction as he does.”Zoey fell silent. “Laurence is nice to me most of

Zoey's fingertips were red from the cold. She didn't know if it was the freezing air or the chilly breeze, but her hands were shaking slightly. It was as if her wrist had become dislocated, and she couldn't hold her phone properly. Her vision became blurry, and she felt utterly miserable. Her heart felt like a void. The speakers near the ceiling were still blaring out a reminder."The performance is about to begin. Would the audience please enter the venue in an orderly manner."Zoey quickly snapped back to reality and replied Laurence sensibly, "Okay. It's okay. Do what you have to do."She felt as if she had used up all her energy typing those few words. Zoey switched her phone off and gripped the tickets as she walked toward the entrance. Being alone was no big deal. His not showing up was no big deal either. Laurence was always busy, and it was no surprise that he couldn't make time at short notice. Zoey kept consoling herself, telling herself that it was no big deal. It was no big
