When she woke up the next morning, she found herself in Zayn's embrace and felt unsettled. She quickly Composed herself and eased herself out of his embrace trying not to wake him up in the process otherwise she would have a hard time explaining the situation."Hoof.." She exclaimed in relief and picked up her shoes and left.Zayn woke up soon after she left. He was still feeling drowsy and realized that he was covered in a pink-colored blanket. He picked up the blanket and went to the bathroom to wash up. By the time he was out of the bathroom, his phone had been vibrating non-stop on the coffee table.Zayn dried his hair as he answered the call, "What's up?"Mr. Meyer, you were right. It was Bent who wanted old Mr. Meyer's burial ground." Gael reported.Zay narrowed his eyes and asked, "What's his objective?“According to the person I sent to survey the land, there may be crystal ores beneath the burial ground.”"Crystal ores? Zayn paused for a moment and then scoffed, "So that's t

“Yes, the Downey family not only has its fashion business, but its cloth material business. Because of Mr. Downey's relationship with the company, our company's requirements for cloth are provided by the Downey family," The colleague explained. Bethany nodded and said, "So that's the reason. I understand now. Thanks." "Don't mention it." The colleague waved. After he left, Bethany kept the name card in her bag and then went to look for Joanna to apply for a business trip. She had thought that Joanna would make things difficult for her but unexpectedly her request was immediately approved by Joanna. She did not think too much into it and took the approval to visit the Downey family cloth factory Due to the minuscule particles created by the clothing factory, it was built at a remote location It was already midday when Bethany arrived. After coming down from the car, she looked at the place and quickly dip her hand into her bag, and brought out her phone. She looked at the time and it w

Bethany walked over to Zayn's table and said, “Mr. Meyer, to control the usage of the fabrics for the Oceania project, I'd like to apply for a dedicated storeroom to which only I have the sole access”. Apart from this reason, she also wanted to do this because of Joanna's evil intentions. In her understanding of Joanna, Joanna would try to do something to the material after she had obtained it. Joanna would do anything to force Bethany out of the Blue Ridge company and she can't afford to have her way just yet. “Okay” Zayn agreed without thinking twice and then he went ahead to say, “Next time you don't have to bother with all these arrangements. Just look for Gael and he would have everything arranged for you”. Bethany was surprised to hear the coldness in his tone and then nodded, “Okay. Then leave if there isn't anything else. I'll have Someone deliver the keys to you. ” Zayn instructed and waved his hand. Bethany was dazed as she looked at him and then turned to leave as instructe

Joanna noticed Zayn's unusual behaviour. Then, she traced his stare and saw the red marks on Bethany's neck. Suddenly her pupils constricted and she felt a strong sense of danger. She was so gripped with fear that she struggled to breathe. As an observer, Joanna was able to see clearly what was happening. The way he looked at Bethany's marks on the neck showed that he was jealous. He had known Bethany for such a short time and now he already had feelings for her. In comparison, Danica was on this side for five years and he had no interest in her. She decided there and then that she had to drive Bethany away as soon as possible otherwise she would not have a moment's peace. Thus, Joanna clenched her fists tightly and began to scheme. The meeting ended and everyone started to leave until only the three of them remained. Bethany approached Zayn and was about to discuss something regarding the models. Suddenly, the conference room door opened and a tall man entered. "Zayn! It's b

"Shush!" Bethany placed a finger to her lips and signalled her to remain quiet. " Joanna, we're just outside the CEO's office. Do you want to attract Mr. Meyer to come out and see your nasty behaviour and hear your filthy words?” Joanna froze on hearing and quickly composed herself as she said softly, "Just you wait, Bethany, we're not done with this!" She had always thought that Bethany was just an ordinary woman. However, the past few days have shown her a different side of this weak woman. "Great, bring it on!" Bethany replied calmly and walked past her towards the elevator. Once she was back at the design department, those rumour mongers had already cleared their workspace and left. The others looked at Bethany differently and became more respectful. They could not help but change their attitude towards her, as not only could she remove those troublemakers, but she also took over Joanna's position! Bethany did not care that the designers maintained a distance from her.
