The lady caught Zion in her hands and whined, “What happened to playing hard-to-get? What’s the sudden rush? We have all night.”“Leave me alone!” Zion pushed her away with the remaining strength that he had left in him and shut his laptop down. Paige was dumbfounded by what she saw. She thought to herself that in a situation like that, Zion still did not forget to shut down his laptop and she wondered if there were some trade secrets that he tried to hide.Just when Paige was in the middle of debating whether she should get Zion’s laptop in her hands, something happened at the bar where Zion and the lady were at. Zion was completely knocked out and he leaned toward the lady. They both looked like lovebirds from afar. “I don’t think it’s appropriate for us to be acting like this here, handsome,” The lady looked forward to an exciting night as she got her hands on her prey. However, no matter how she tried to help Zion get on his feet, Zion did not budge at all. He was, after al
Paige thought that Zion acted all reluctant in front of everyone but as soon as he was alone with the lady, he showed his true colors. Paige concluded that Zion was a two-faced bastard.The more she thought about it, the more Paige was convinced that her plan was working. She took out a recorder and was ready to record their conversation as evidence.At the same time, Zion started regaining his consciousness. His body burned hot and he instinctively wanted to lean closer into the bedsheet that felt cold but for some reason, someone stopped him from doing so. In the end, he got annoyed and cursed out loud, “Who is it? Get out right now!”He heard a familiar female voice. “If I leave right now, you’d have to spend the night all alone. Do you want that?”Upon hearing the lady’s voice, Zion immediately recalled what happened before he lost his consciousness. He felt the blood rush through his veins as he sprung up from the bed. The room was dark and he ended up bumping into the lady.
The first thing that came to her mind when she saw the unknown caller ID was that the lady next door called her. She hurriedly answered the call and asked, “Hello? Is everything okay?”“It’s bad,” the lady sounded anxious as she continued to ask, “where are you? Something’s not right, he… he…”“Calm down and tell me slowly,” Paige felt her stomach drop but she tried her best to keep calm. “I’m on the same floor.”Upon hearing that, the lady sounded as if she found a savior and hurriedly urged Paige to come over. “Can you come over quickly? Your… your colleague looks like he’s out of breath, I… I’ve never seen anything like this!”The lady mumbled at the end and Paige felt herself almost blacking out.What happened? It was supposed to be a romantic affair, how did it escalate into putting Zion’s life in danger? Paige was also startled and stood frozen, she hurriedly left her room and bumped into the lady who was walking out of her room and their gazes met. “How did you get her th
Paige grabbed his shoulders and started shaking him violently. She could not be bothered about having to be reserved in front of a man. However, Zion still laid unconsciously on the bed. He felt as if his consciousness was shut off and it got harder for him to even breathe. All he could remember was that there was a lady who was loud and annoying. Upon seeing how the lady had no intentions to leave, Zion could not bring himself to sit around and do nothing. Hence, just when he was about to stand up and leave the room, the lady tried to stop him from leaving and both of them ended up struggling with each other. Zion already felt dizzy because of the side effects of the pills. Blood rushed through his veins and was not as alert as before. Hence, Zion lost balance the moment his shirt was ripped off from his body. He then tripped over and his head knocked against the floor. As the room was dimly lit, the lady assumed that Zion must have had a sudden death seeing how he was lying u
The delivery guy was seemingly startled. He then said, “It’s you again?! You’re the one who borrowed my shirt the last time, right?”Paige was baffled too. She quickly hushed him and asked, “Were you the one who lent me your uniform the last time?”“Yeah,” The delivery guy looked young, and rather good looking, hence he was the type to stand out among the rest. Seeing how he was able to earn some quick cash, he took off his uniform without any hesitation and handed over the keys to his motorcycle along with his uniform to Paige. Paige thanked him and without wasting any second, she rushed into the washroom to get changed. Her body felt sore and she nearly tripped when she bent over. Paige got embarrassingly frustrated and cursed Zion under her breath, “Jeez, he behaved so desperately last night as if he never had sex.”Paige replayed the incident last night in her mind again and stopped what she was doing. She thought that even though Zion behaved desperately, he had a nice body f
At the mention of Zion, the lady’s eyes twinkled in admiration as if she idolized Zion. Paige, on the other hand, was reminded of the incident the night before and she felt the soreness around her back kicking in. An affair? What's the matter? It was a tragedy. Paige cursed under her breath and rolled her eyes. She then staggered awkwardly back to her office. As she passed a glass door, Paige was startled by her reflection. The cleaners resigned for some time. Hence, the glass doors were not all that clean, but Paige could still notice the dark circles underneath her eyes along with her pale complexion. However, the mustache on her face still looked good. It did not matter whether she was disguised as someone else, Paige cared about being presentable. Hence, she quickly fixed herself until she was satisfied before returning to her office. She was about to make a cup of tea to soothe herself from the shock she got last night. However, no matter how hard she tried to get water in
“Why would I call the cops? I’m just hoping that someone would save me from dying from thirst and hunger,” Paige answered as she slouched over the desk and sighed helplessly, “at this rate, I could even eat this desk.”Paige spent the entire time trying to matchmake Zion with someone but she ended up being tortured instead of him. At that rate, she might end up becoming the first person to die in their own company. Just when Paige felt dizzy, she heard Vincent calling out to her. Though he especially enjoyed teasing her, Vincent was still a reliable friend. Seeing how Paige was in a bad condition, he comforted her. “Don’t worry too much. Mrs. Flynn guessed that you were not doing well, so she had me check on you.”Earlier that morning when Estelle woke up, she felt ominous. After going through a list of people that she knew, Estelle thought that there was a high chance for Paige to be in trouble. She did not want to trouble Skyler to go to Remington, hence she contacted Vincent ins
She wanted to stop Vincent but she thought that it was not a good idea to tell an outsider that Yoel Fabian had no say in the company. Hence, she could only watch Vincent walk into the office and do nothing. Even though only twenty minutes passed, Paige felt as if she waited for an entire decade. As soon as she heard a knock on the door, she stood up from her chair right away. After seeing that it was Vincent, she said excitedly, “Hurry up, where’s the stuff? You might need to bring me a coffin instead if I were to wait any longer.”“You don’t look like you’re dying from hunger,” Vincent could not help but laugh. He pushed the luggage to her and said to her pleasedly, “Here, everything you need is in there both food and drinks. Oh and the fast food that I got for you is on the way.”Vincent planned to add more stuff into the luggage but he was worried that the luggage might burst if he were to add more. However, to Paige, the stuff that he got her was already more than enough. Wit
