Phyllis silently listened to him. Hearing him show his displeasure with his mother is a first for her. Though she knows that he doesn't have a good relationship with his mother, she did not realize it was this bad because he never speaks about her. She can see that he is upset, just because his mother is trying to involve herself in his life. As far as she knows, she doesn't have any reason to visit GEM Entertainment. She is a virtuous wife of a senator, who stayed away from the entertainment industry. She never had any connection with showbiz aside from Zacharias, who's a famous singer. “I don't understand her now, babe… All my life she told me not to speak of her because she doesn't want to be involved in the dirty entertainment industry…” “And yet, she's here. Getting involved with our company. What am I supposed to think?!” “Yes, it was not a secret that I'm her son. But she doesn't want to be involved with me…” he opened up. It was difficult for him to open up about his di
[All About Victoria Emory's Charity Event For St. Mary's Orphanage] [Victoria Emory Shares Joyous Moments With Children In St. Mary's Orphanage] In the lifestyle magazine, Centriona Metro Life, articles about Victoria Emory's charity work were published. Details about her kindness and compassion were noted in the magazine's article. As the wife of Arthur Emory, she helped maintain his image to the citizens. They were a loving couple in politics who were never involved in any controversy. They kept a low profile, but still, opened up enough for the people to know what they were up to. “Victoria Emory involved herself with various charity works with children as they have a special place in her heart. As a mother and a wife who supports the Emory household, it was important for her to stand by the causes that are special for her and for her husband.” Leila read a passage aloud from the magazine article for Victoria Emory. Who is famous for being a charitable woman. She casually si
Phyllis sighed. Exhaustion is evident in her eyes as she leans back on the couch. “I don't know…” “I mean, you've always been so involved with Luna, so I thought you'd do something about it. My dear, let's not play dumb. This article insinuates something more, and you know that.” Phyllis completely understands Leila's point. It's just that, now that his mother is involved, she cannot do things like before. She has to take into consideration that she is her husband's mother. So, even if Zacharias has bad blood with his mother, she cannot make a move on her own. At the very least, she has to consult him first. 'As much as I want to help, it's not like Aias will ask for my help…' 'Even if he knows I'm capable of solving his problem, I don't think he will ask.' “I'm sure Zacharias has a plan for that.” She briefly answered her friend to end their questions about his mother and the mayor's daughter. She'll wait and see what will happen next. For now. … Weeks passed and Phylli
Zacharias went home late after a busy day in the office and went straight to their bedroom. His tired body immediately climbed the bed and embraced Phyllis’ body. “Tired from work?” Phyllis softly asked. “Hmmm…” he hummed in response as he snuggled in tightly. Phyllis turned around to hug him back. “Did something happen at work?”“No… Nothing special happened. It was just a normal tiring day…”“I see…”Phyllis remained silent for a minute or two, pondering about Tiffany’s visit to her husband’s office. Of course, she was perfectly assured. In her mind, she was alright, she was fine. But something about that girl makes her feel kind of… unsettled… “Did you eat already?” He kissed her forehead. “Yep, I did, babe…”“Then, let’s sleep?”“Hmm…”…The next day, Phyllis went to visit GEM Entertainment’s office with her friend Ellianna. She has no business agenda or anything, she just wanted to see the situation. “Why did you ask me to come when you can go yourself?” Ellianna whispered
Zacharias greeted his wife, Phyllis with a warm embrace and a soft peck on the cheek. “I heard from Taylor that you're visiting that's why I'm here.” In an instant, she felt all the frustrations fly away with his touch. But still, her expression remained the same. “Yeah, I'm just visiting with my friend, Ellianna.” Zacharias then turned to Ellianna and smiled. He offered his hand politely. “Hi, nice to finally meet you.” Ellianna shook his hand amiably and said, “It's a pleasure of mine to meet the famous Zacharias Lohr from Luna.” Zacharias chuckled and placed his arms around Phyllis' shoulders. “I hope I'm famous in a good way.” Ellianna smiled downward and shrugged her shoulders. “Well…” Zacharias took a quick glance at Phyllis and apologetically smiled. “I know, I know… A lot has been going on in the media right now…” “Well, yeah… I think you have another problem you need to settle.” He paused, reminding him of Tiffany's visit. Of course, he got the gist of what was happe
“...Phyllis and I? We are so close, closer than—well—let's just leave it at that.” “We're close friends!” Aster insisted. “Am I dating Phyllis?” “Oh guys, guys you're going to get me in trouble! I won't confirm something without her permission!” He chuckled and quickly added, “I'm kidding!” Phyllis watched the live show be filled with a flurry of comments about what Aster said. 'I really hope it's true! LisTer shipper here!' 'AAAAAHHHHH NO MY HUSBAND IS MINE!' 'I heard she's from the Lu family who owns many businesses! Our Aster really got an heiress as a girlfriend!' 'I think it's only right for him to date someone who could match his dancing techniques!' 'Phyllis, Aster is OUR boyfriend, okay? In our fandom, we share!' Reading the comments instantly made her blood boil. There were a bunch of comments about her relationship with Aster. “No, you guys! Stop with the comments, Phyllis will get mad,” he said in a light tone. He appears to be stopping them but his tone
“I heard you're dating the boy from Muse's family.” The brigadier general, Lorenzo Clemens, casually continued eating as if the news of granddaughter did not bother him. “Grandpa, we're just friends!” Alisha reasoned with a scowl. She hated it when she was being interrogated about her personal affairs. “Honey, let Alisha be. She's just tired from her work,” Emilia gently backed her granddaughter up as she pats her husband's arm. Lorenzo glanced at Emilia and seriously said, “That's why my grandchildren are all useless. It's because you spoil them!” “Grandpa, you know I'm not useless. I'm an internet celebrity with thousands of followers! You just—“ CLANG! Lorenzo angrily placed his utensils on his glass plate causing it to silence Alisha. “That's not a real job! you're already twenty-six years old and yet you can't find a real job!” “Yes, it is!” THUD! With a slam on the wooden dining table, Alisha froze. “Grandpa…” “Emilia set up a meeting with Muse's family,” he firmly
Emilia entered the Muse's mansion with a graceful smile. Her granddaughter, Alisha, followed her while carrying a paper bag full of gifts. “Welcome, welcome,” Elise Muse, Aster's mother, greeted them in a warm tone. “Auntie, good afternoon,” Alisha smiled. Elise embraced Alisha and gave her a cheek kiss. She has already got a good look at the granddaughter of the military general. She was a famous internet celebrity with a good fashion sense. She was petite and pretty. However, if she was being honest, she did not like Alisha. She knew her son could bring in a more outstanding woman than her. Considering the number of issues that Aster was getting because of the leaked photos, she needed Alisha to clear out her son's name. Overall, she's not that bad. With her grandfather as the respectable brigadier general, she's not a bad choice for her son. They have many clients from the military, so having her in their family is a wise move. Arranging marriages is not the norm in to
