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

In fact, he thought he was quite smitten with Zoey. She really was his type. Tristan didn't have much of an impression of Zoey at first. He only remembered her as a quiet and reserved girl. However, there were some complicated rumors about her. Shawn had mentioned that she sold herself and frowned as he called her filthy. Even people like him who indulged in debauchery were picky.The actress held Tristan's arm tightly and said coquettishly, "Mr. Gray, it's so cold outside. Let's get in the car."Tristan's patience was at its limit. He looked at her hand with displeasure and said, "Let go."She was reluctant, but she dared not disobey him. Tristan's mood was always unpredictable. One moment, he could smile at her cheerfully, but the next moment, he could treat her like a stranger. Tristan asked her to take a cab home by herself. Ignoring her dismay, he walked off in Zoey's direction. Zoey felt a shadow come over her."Ms. Jenner."She looked up and said plainly, "Mr. Gray."Tristan sel
Love in the dark Chapter 82
Zoey didn’t return home even though she was a little exhausted.Hailing a cab, she absentmindedly gave the driver an address. It wasn’t that late yet and businesses were open an hour later during the weekends.Her heels had been rubbed sore; the skin on the area had blistered and bled. She took off her high heels and walked barefoot down the street, not feeling any particular discomfort other than from the chill.Finding a café, she randomly ordered a drink and sat inside for about half an hour.She requested a hair tie from a café staff and tied up her damp hair, exposing her clear and delicate face. Her red lips contrasted starkly against her fair skin.She sat in the café right until its closing time before she put her shoes back on, getting ready to leave.Laurence called her. She stared at her lit phone screen and waited until the call ended on its own, not making any move to answer it.As expected, he didn’t call her again.She wasn’t putting on airs, nor did she think La
