"What?” Bethany paused. Zayn saw that she wasn't moving and frowned, "What are you waiting for? you have a meeting in a moment." ”Okay”.When she heard "meeting", Bethany immediately reacted. She took the bag and walked towards the break room. When she entered, she could smell the scent of mint. She suddenly realised this was also Zayn's room. She was taking a shower in his room!Bethany turned around and looked at the door of the break room, her face flushed. Quickly, the stickiness on her body made her calm down. She took a deep breath but didn't think much more, she went for her shower. When Zayn heard the water in the break room, he stopped the pen in his hand. He was organising his documents, his dark eyes looking toward that room. After a while, he suddenly got up, he restlessly sorted his tie, then he pulled out a drawer, from inside he took out a box of cigarettes and went to the balcony. He felt the cold wind that was blowing outside. He rubbed his temples. Only then did
"Sit!" Zayn did not reply. but pointed to the chair opposite with his chin. She walked to the chair and thanked him before sitting down. Zayn clasped his hands and went straight to the point, "As mentioned during the last meeting, how are your preparations for this year's autumn collection?" "It's about done,” Bethany answered. "Did you save your work?" Zayn asked. "Yes." She nodded. Zayn swivelled his laptop around and pushed it towards her. Bethany entered her password and then pushed the laptop back towards zayn and said, "Mr. Meyer, it's done." Zayn acknowledged and started to work with the mouse. He looked at it for several seconds before realising something, and called for Gael, and said, "Get Ms. Quest a cup of coffee and a piece of black forest cake." "Mr. Meyer…” She wanted to say that there was no need but Gael answered first, "Okay, I'll prepare them.” He then turned to look at Bethany and left. He was wondering why the president had been asking him to buy a Cake in
Zayn was stunned. Gael who was driving the car was equally shocked and almost veered off the road: What did he just see? The president was forcefully kissed by Bethany? “Hey, why can I bite it off?” Bethany did not know what she was doing. She only knew that she could not bite off the jelly and was rather upset. She then bit down even stronger as if she just had to eat the piece of jelly. Zayn was moaning in pain and started to taste blood in his mouth. He knew by then. that she had bitten through his skin. Even then, Zayn did not push Bethany off. Instead, he just continued to look at her. He stared at her for a while before grabbing the back of her head and kissing her passionately. Gael was secretly looking at them. He quickly looked away when he saw Zayn take the initiative and kiss Bethany. He dared not look any more and quickly raised the partition. Bethany began to enjoy the kiss and slumped in his embrace. She might slide down the seat.If Zayn hasn't been hugging her,
“That's right” Bethany nodded her head. Wills felt so embarrassed that he could not wait to escape immediately. In the past, he had used Antonio's identity to hook up with women and succeeded most of the time. Unexpectedly, he ran into this young woman this time. Looking at his vain look, Daphne felt her heart thump and became uneasy. Was it possible that he had told Bethany about their relationship? For a moment, Daphne got a pale face and nearly fainted. But she took a deep breath and pinched palms to force herself to stay calm and asked cautiously,“ What did you say just now?” "What a great question!" Bethany glanced at Wills behind her. "This distant cousin of yours impersonated Mr. Meyer or should I say....” "What? ” Daphne was stunned.“Huh? He impersonated who?” “Yes” Bethany nodded and pointed at Wills. “Not only that he even gave me his business card and wanted to ask me out for a cup of coffee!!” She placed the business card angrily in Daphne's hand .Daphne looked at
“It's okay” Bethany shook her head . Zayn felt a bit relieved, “That's good” "Haha, Mr. Meyer, you and your fiancée are so affectionate," a reviewer suddenly said. Bethany was a bit embarrassed. Before she was about to explain that she was not his fiancée, Zayn. said, "Thank you" Bethany looked at him in dismay. "Mr. Meyer, why are you..." Before she could finish her words, he interrupted her, "There is no need to explain. The more you explain, the less likely it is to be believed. It will only be a waste of time." Hearing his words she nodded slightly. "You have a point." "Drink this." He put a glass of orange juice in front of her. She took a look. "Orange juice?" "Well, you just drank wine last night, so don't drink it tonight. I don't want you to throw up in my car again”. He picked up his red wine and took a sip. She blushed and lowered her head with embarrassment. “Hmm. I'm going to the bathroom. I'll be back” After saying that, she got up and left the room. When sh
“Yes. At the moment we don't have any clues for investigation" Gael also felt helpless. Zayn put the photo to the side and looked at Bethany, speaking seriously, “What is worth robbing in her bag?" Gael shook his head. "I don't know about that.” Zayn lowered his eyes and did not speak anymore. After a while, he pinched his nose bridge, feeling tired. "Go tell Ms. Sue to prepare a set of clothes for me and send them over tomorrow morning. "Okay." Gael then turned around and left. Zayn stayed with Bethany in the ward all night. It was not until the next morning when a phone call came that he left. Soon after he left, Bethany woke up. Ms. Sue heard the movement and quickly came to her bedside, looking at her with Surprise“ Ms. Quest?” “Ms. Sue” Bethany blinked her eyes. “How come you are here?” Ms. Sue handed her a glass of water,“ Mr Meyer asked me to take care of you” “Mr. Meyer?” Bethany held the glass of water and looked around. "Where is he?” “He is already gone out,” Ms.
Zayn heard and stopped cleaning his hands,“What's wrong?” “Strange. There's no signal" Bethany shook her phone while asking, "How about yours, Mr Meyer?” Zayn put the folded handkerchief back in the pocket of his coat and took out his phone, "Mine too.” "What?” Bethany was shocked, "How could it be?" Zayn fell silent and lowered his eyes,seeming to figure something out. Bethany put down her phone, "Let me go and check if we can get any signal outside." Zayn didn't stop her either.Bethany then made her way to the front of the gate. But when she reached, she was stunned.A door that was supposed to be opened wide was closed. Instead, a sense of bad feeling arose in her head. “Wouldn't it be locked?” Bethany twisted the doorknob subconsciously, trying to open the door but in vain. Zayn approached and saw through everything. His face darkened, "The door is locked, isn't it?” Bethany nodded,"It's locked by someone from outside." “Of course, it is!" it seemed to be within Zayn's exp
She followed the maid into the villa, She didn't need to be shown the way. Antonio and Daphne were having breakfast,Joanna wasn't there and no one knew where she was. Daphne looked at Bethany as she was coming and she said in a weird tone, “Oh my, isn't that Bethany, what brings you here?” “I came for you”. Bethany answered coldly,then she looked over her and her gaze landed on Antonio,“ Mr. Antonio" Antonio didn't even mind her, as if she didn't exist. Bethany looked down. She wasn't mad. She just smiledDaphne thought it was a bitter smile.smugly, "Tell me what you want?”Bethany didn't want to waste any time with her. So she threw the file bag in front of her directly, which made a loud sound. Daphne was shocked with a tremble, "What are you doing?” Bethany glanced at her coldly, "Open it and take a look.” Although Daphne was reluctant, she still put down her fork, picked up the file bag, and opened it. Then she took out the document from the file bag. Her face turned pale
…..That night at Bethany’s mansion.Bethany was scrolling through a file on her laptop when her phone rang.It was a call from Barbara.“Darling, I have gone to pay my rest at the temple along with Vella. We will be back home very soon, don't worry everything is fine and Vella is having a lot of fun” Barbara excitedly explains everything in one goal.Bethany smiled, hearing her words.“Donnie, I hope you had fun visiting the places you wanted. And Vella wanted to see the greenery, hope she enjoyed it” Bethany stopped scrolling and asked with a smile on her face. “Yes, she did but she wanted Jenna to accompany her to see the green water fountain. So, she refuses to visit it without her” Barbara ruffled Vella’s hair and said. She looked at the little girl’s face and smiled.Vella beamed back at her. “Really? I should have sent Jenna along with her but Jenna didn't want to go back yet, she was worried about something but it's been taken care of. When you're back, I'll go along with t
“Don't be faster than your shadows. Zayn is not the type to get distracted by things like that. Let's lay low and strike when least expected” Joanna suggested. She knew his Zayn was like and didn't want things to get messed up. Bent on the other held his phone in his hands while his chest rose and fell at the mention of Bethany. Bethany had managed to capture Zayn’s heart and was a great asset to him, how could she go missing? “Talking of Bethany.That cocky woman humiliated me so much before, why are we even talking about her?” Sapphira was boiling with rage once she saw Bethany’s name. “You are not the only one.Bethany was like a huge thorn in my flesh, she came after me like a rival.I have a very bad feeling about that woman” Daphne cringed her face, thinking of the times Bethany made her life difficult. “Who is this Bethany and why was she after you all?” Dimitri seemed to be the only one who didn't have any encounter with Bethany. “That miserable girl was a menace. Who knew
Hearing his words, Mr.Meyer turned to look at him with seriousness.The expression appeared as though something had been awakened in his mind.“Do you really think so? If that's the case then we don't deserve to call ourselves her family, how could we fail to find her?” He viciously blames himself.“Why are you blaming yourself, old master Meyer? It's not even confirmed that the young mistress is alive yet. On top of that, the situation was too complicated and no one knew the truth.” Mr.Meyer Sr looked ghastly at the dark view of the sea and muttered.“If there's a chance that my dear Giselle is out there somewhere, I'll turn the whole world down to bring her back no matter what”His firm tone and cold expressions were a testament to his serious he was.“What are you planning to do, Master Meyer? What's on your mind?” The Butler asked, seeing his expression.“It's her death anniversary very soon. Wouldn't it be nice if we found her before then? That way we will get to celebrate her bi
Back in the hospital. The smile on Jessica’s face faded as soon as Zayn was gone.After he left, the smile on Jessica's face disappeared and she put on a cold face. The next moment, she pulled open the bedside drawer, took out a document, and opened it. She was a little sad. But soon she thought of something else and slowly touched on these words, revealing a frightening smile. Just then, she heard a soft knock on the door before Jeff walked into the room with his stethoscope in his hands. He carefully examined her and said.“Ms.Ferguson, there is nothing to worry about.If you look after yourself well, you'll be fine” “Dr.Emerson, why isn't Ms.Quest visiting you anymore? Did you two have a lover’s quarrel?” Jessica asked seriously with a pretentious smile. Jeff was caught off-guard. However, the mention of Bethany’s name caused his eyes to turn red with hate. Jessica was quick-witted, she saw his expressions but didn't say a word. “.Ms.Ferguson, Ms.Quest is quite busy that
“Jessie, Ms.Quest had gone on a business trip for a few days, she's not back yet. As soon as she comes back, I'll send her over to accompany you for a while” Jessica was disappointed when she found out about this.At first thing, she thought Bethany was keeping her distance from her after getting into a feud with Danica.She had read online that Bethany and Danica got into a fight after Danica’s show flopped but she didn't expect that things would get this harsh.Danica was the perfect villain and nks that things had gotten to this level, she song hold back anymore.“Is that so? That's alright.Ms.Quest is very kind hearted, she makes me so happy” Jessica said with a warm smile lingering under her eyelids.Zayn was surprised to see how sweetly she talks about Bethany.On Top of that, he noticed that the mention of Bethany’s name lit up a smile on her face.He didn't think too much about it and was glad.“Jessie, I'll arrange with the doctors and get you transferred to the Platinum Villa
“I'm dying, Zayn. I'm dying from everything, there's no reason to continue!” Jessica sounded so weak as if she had given up on life.A few weeks back, Zayn had motivated her to continue living no matter what.However, seeing that he had given up on her, Jessica decided she had no reason to live anymore.“What are you talking about, Jessica? You shouldn't give up so soon. I'm here with you now, I was a little busy and neglected you for a while, I'm so sorry” Zayn was apologetic as he took her hands into his and kissed them.Her thin hand was utterly cold and devoid of life. In the end, Zayn got scared.“You have too much to deal with now. Why would you bother yourself with my responsibility? I don't want to trouble you so don't worry about me”Even though it sounded as though Jessica was being considerate. In reality, she was pushing him to the edge to make him feel bad.Zayn couldn't bring himself to look her in the eyes, he blamed himself for her condition. So, he could only tighten
….In the hospital, Zayn waited at the door of the ward while the doctors attended to Jessica.He was worried sick and couldn't stand still no matter his much he tried.A few days ago, Jessica wanted him to visit her and stay by her side for a while to keep her warm and chase away her loneliness for some time.However, he was too busy and requested to visit her later.If things went wrong and she didn't make it, he would begrudge himself forever. At this time, a nurse came out of the treatment room anxiously and was heading out when Zayn stopped her in her tracks.“Nurse, what's happening to Jessica? She was just fine, right? How come she's critical?” Zayn demanded, feeling suffocated. Frustration was evident on his face as he couldn't help but worry about Jessica.“Mr.Meyer, I have no idea how Ms.Ferguson is faring right now. Her condition suddenly retrogressed and was rushed to the treatment room immediately then I had to call you up since there was no one else” Zayn was riled up
“ENOUGH! Shut the f*ck up, everyone!” After tapping his feet against the floor for umpteen times and they still continued to argue, Bent squealed loudly, causing them to stop brawling and look in his direction. “Do you know what your problem is? You never learn from a mistake. You all are so dumb and fall through without hassle!” Bent yelled, losing his patience at their trifling scuffle.Everyone was stunned by Bent's sudden outburst; no one knew what came over him.In the end, they all glared at him with curiosity and waited for him to say a word.Cone to think of it, Bent had been quiet the entire time and suddenly burst out with anger.“What's wrong with you, Bent? What's with outbursts? Did we do something wrong?!”Sapphira Grand, looked at her son and asked, tilting her head to grasp his expression.“How could you all not realise you are making a mistake right now? Do you not realize who the actual enemy is?” Bent asked, he had a somber seriousness to his tone. At the mentio
Once Zayn left, they turned to look at each other with complicated gazes. “Why would Zayn hurriedly leave in the middle of an important family meal? What was so urgent that he couldn't care less about Grandpa’s health before dashing off? Who knows if Zayn truly cares about Grandpa!”Joanna broke the silence with her rhetorical questions.Even though it sounded as if she was worried about the old man, she was simply trying to ignite the burning flame in his heart.She could vividly remember that Mr.Meyer Sr still held a grudge against Zayn for what happened to Giselle Medina. Joanna stole a glance at Mr.Meyer Sr and saw the vain expression on his face, she smiled hideously. She scoffed before saying.“Maybe, he's really busy today, Zayn’s never left Grandpa alone before especially while he's sick”At this time, everyone noticed the dark aura looming around Mr.Meyer Sr, he was getting offended at Joanna’s remarks but he couldn't say a word since he was telling the truth.Zayn had always
