That was also the first time Zeke had the urge to want to get closer to a particular woman. He wanted to get close to her, understand everything about her, including her interests, her lifestyle, literally everything. Although that would not be Zeke’s first time pursuing a woman, nor was it his first time being in a relationship, Mimi seemed to be the only person up until that moment whom Zeke found the most attractive. However, this was not because they were suitable for each other but becaus
Mimi had only just realized that she had been completely wrong about Zeke.Mimi always thought that Zeke was a workaholic who only cared about work and nothing else. He always looked fierce and extremely strict with others and had seemingly no empathy.However, today, she realized that Zeke understood life more than she had imagined, and he was more considerate.The restaurant he had chosen was first-class in terms of ambiance and cuisine. Even the dishes were comfort food and gentle on the tummy. He had shown absolute consideration for a patient like her, who was frail and needed to recuperate.The decor in the restaurant was both romantic and high class. The walls were filled with French windows, which made it look bright and clean.Sunlight streamed in from outside the window, illuminating the entire restaurant brightly. A strangely fresh fragrance permeated through the air. The restaurant was filled with beautiful music, and it made everyone feel surprisingly comfortable.“Wh
Mimi was chattering excitedly away until she lifted her gaze and suddenly caught sight of his intense stare.The pair locked eyes. The air was filled with ambiguity.Mimi was taken aback. The look in Zeke’s eyes held a hidden sense of complexity, a stark contrast from his usual stern demeanor.This was her first time enjoying someone’s care and concern. Now, she was the only thing in Zeke’s eyes. She could sense it. The man’s attention was focused squarely on her.She was taken aback. For some reason, she felt a sense of rejection, even though she should feel happy and blessed.She stared into Zeke’s impassioned gaze and felt no happiness at all, only an endless sense of awkwardness and discomfort.She should have expected this when she agreed to permit his advances.Initially, Zeke may have intended on merely giving it a try, thinking they were compatible. But now, she could clearly sense that Zeke truly had feelings for her. In fact, he liked her, very, very much.He was deep
The assistant had been with Mini when she was at her peak of popularity to her downfall to a has-been female celebrity. This assistant had suffered a lot of grief for her sake. A while ago, when she had been struck with a huge scandal, the company decided to take her assistant away and send her off to a more popular celebrity in the company. She had heard that the assistant had burst into tears at the office.Later on, the matter had changed for the better, and the assistant immediately sent a request to return to her side.However, Mimi had never let anyone tell the assistant about the hospital she was staying at. After all, she was a highly sensitive person. If she saw her lying wretchedly in bed, she might have burst into tears at the ward.Mimi gently patted her on the shoulder. “Don’t worry, you silly goose, I’m fine. I’ve made a very good recovery. Look, I look perfectly fine, don’t I?”The assistant burst into tears.“Miss Mimi, why didn’t you tell me what happened? It wa
The assistant’s mind exasperated Mimi. It’s not like she didn’t understand Mimi.In her eyes, love was love, work was work. No matter how much she wanted to become famous, she would never mix both together.If she were the kind of person to betray her own feelings for her own benefit, she would have agreed to this long ago. She wouldn’t have needed to wait until now for Zeke to pursue her.Besides, if she were that kind of girl, she would have enjoyed a smooth-sailing career like Britney. She would not have fallen to a C or D-list actress. She had avoided agreeing to Zeke’s request because she didn’t want to mix business with pleasure. All she wanted was a pure, romantic relationship.Even though Zeke’s position in the entertainment industry was so formidable that many famous producers had to grant him some leeway. If he were unhappy with any actor, he would recast straightaway, regardless of how powerful they were.He was the only director in the industry with power and persona
“Mimi…” He sighed and said, “You don’t have to be like this. I never intended to pressure you with my confession. I just wanted you to know how I felt. I said you had three days to consider it, right?”Mimi lowered her head. “I know. Don’t worry, I think it over seriously, and I’ll give you an answer once I’ve thought it through.”“That’s good.”Zeke’s heart was still in turmoil. In reality, he was well aware of the situation. The woman before him had no feelings for him at all. However, he refused to let go so easily. He liked her, even if her heart belonged to someone else. He still wanted to try capturing her heart and replace Elias.After all, this was his first time actually having feelings for a girl. If he lost this chance, he might not experience another again.He stared at her. For once, he was at a total loss over how to deal with a woman.“Uh… How are you getting home? I can drop you off.” Zeke offered. “No need, Mr. Russo. My assistant can take me home. I was just
The script supervisor was exasperated. “Yes, yes, yes. You’re the best, Mr. Russo. I’d never have the nerve to overthrow you. If what you say is true, and Mimi doesn’t like these kinds of things, take her to a candlelit dinner. Women love romance. Any woman would feel moved by a romantic setting like that.”“Candlelit dinner?” Zeke narrowed his eyes. This seemed like a pretty good idea.“Of course. Women love romantic settings. Having her prince charming take her to a candlelit dinner is the most romantic thing in the world. No woman could possibly resist that kind of romance,” the script supervisor said confidently.Zeke narrowed his eyes and stared at him apprehensively. “Are you sure? Will she like it?”The man waved his hand. “Of course. How did she react when you took her to dinner the last few times? Women have greedy appetites. As long as the food at the restaurant is tasty enough and the ambiance romantic enough, they’ll love it.”Zeke paused thoughtfully. “She seemed to l
Jeanette’s voice was filled with sadness. Mimi sighed continuously, lamenting over how everything had changed so quickly.The pair had been blissfully in love not too long ago. They seemed infatuated with each other. How could this have happened?However, Mimi felt that it was unfair for Jeanette to give up so easily.“Jeanette, how could you submit so easily? That’s your husband, you know. How could you surrender and give him away like that? You should teach them a hard lesson after what they’ve done! Aren’t you just giving them your blessing by letting this go so easily?”Mimi had a righteous yet impatient nature. She had been enraged after finding out about Jeanette’s torment and had nearly stormed into the Godfrey home to stand up for her.Jeanette smiled bitterly. “So what if I’m upset about it? What’s the use in that? Damon’s heart is no longer mine. I’d be nothing but a laughingstock in the end. We were once husband and wife, so I don’t want to burn bridges. After all, he’s
