You Need to Wake Up

Wolf cursed in surprise. Suddenly, someone forcefully opened his door."Are you so bored with life?!" Wolf scolded.Usually, Iris would be afraid of Wolf's outbursts and reprimands. The only person who could control Iris was indeed Wolf. But this time, Iris was truly furious. She immediately stood in front of Wolf and slammed her hand on the table."Why did you kick me out of the Big Four?! I fulfilled your wishes even though the schedule was intense!"Iris vented her anger; she remembered how Wolf had arbitrarily asked her to come at night and sing. Changing her schedule just like that. Iris felt unjust, as if she had already complied with Wolf's wishes."But did you comply when I asked you not to drink alcohol and smoke before recording?" Wolf asked.Iris seemed to be silent, as if swallowing her own tongue. That bad habit was still something she practiced on a regular basis.Wolf closed his laptop and looked at Iris."Do you know what the requirements are to stay in the Big Four? T

Your Life has been Set

“Why do you still have to ask me? Isn't it clear that the most devastating thing for any artist in any field—whether actor or singer—is scandal?” Sanchez looked at Wolf in astonishment.“The problem is, he's with Billy. I'm sure Billy will defend him tooth and nail,” said Wolf.Remembering how Billy was so meticulous in covering up the incident with Zoe, Wolf was confident that Billy would do anything to cover up Max's next scandal.To be honest, Wolf understood Billy's point of view very well. He would typically respond in a similar manner when one of his singers made a mistake. He would hide the mistake until the cost of covering it up exceeded the artist's income.“Why do you want Nova's artist to be destroyed? I've never seen you want to destroy artists from other companies before.”Sanchez was surely puzzled. Up to this point, Wolf had solely utilized him to generate news that favored Wolf. Like media plays that blow up successes to gain attention, or publishing news that defends

You're Not There

Wolf entered his house, took off his shoes, and walked upstairs while unbuttoning his shirts one by one. However, he stopped at the top of the stairs leading to the second floor. This was because he realized that his house was empty. There were no lights on the second floor. The lights in his room were not on.He did come home later than expected because he met Sanchez, but just because the lights weren't on doesn't mean Zoe is already asleep. She usually kept a nightlight on.Wolf grabbed his phone and dialed."Where are you? Why aren't you home?" Wolf asked, puzzled. Earlier, Zoe clearly said she would come home first."What do you mean? I'm at home," Zoe replied groggily."Where are you sleeping?" Wolf pressed on, moving forward and opening his room. Zoe wasn't there as expected."In my room," Zoe lazily answered."You're not at home! Where are you, actually?" Wolf was clearly annoyed."I'm at home! I spent some time with Darcy earlier. I'm already home!" Zoe snapped back, understa

You Can Cook?

Zoe diced the ham and quickly added it to the stir-fry on the stove. All her movements seemed swift, as she was in a hurry.She tried to focus on preparing the food, but occasionally her eyes glanced at the wall clock. There were less than twenty minutes left before Darcy arrived to pick her up.Actually, it was enough time to cook, but perhaps Zoe chose the wrong type of cuisine. She found herself stuck. She couldn't cancel her cooking, and she had to finish it quickly. But at least it was progressing well. The food's aroma began to spread inside the apartment."Are you cooking?" Zoe looked up and saw Wolf, shirtless, stepping out of the bedroom. The aroma had awakened him from his sleep."Yes, don't you need breakfast?" Zoe said, stirring the eggs in the bowl."But you've never cooked breakfast for me before," Wolf said, surprised.Zoe had never really cooked for Wolf—not even the simplest of meals. She often prepared food for Wolf, but never truly from scratch. Usually, Wolf pays

You Have to Keep the Secrets

Zoe, who was also very surprised, momentarily froze. But as the apartment door swung open, Zoe pushed Wolf until he fell behind the sofa next to the dining table."Stay there!" Zoe hissed, just as Darcy peeked in and stepped inside with cheerfulness."Morning! Wow, you're already ready. I thought I'd have to wake you up," greeted Darcy cheerfully.Wolf had chosen the right type of manager for Zoe. Darcy was very cheerful but firm, balancing Zoe, who sometimes still felt awkward and shy when facing new environments."Yes, I'm ready." Zoe nodded stiffly."Oh? Did you make breakfast? I thought we were going to have breakfast outside." Darcy exclaimed, pointing and approaching the dining table."No!" Zoe panicked, jumping up, startling Darcy and stopping her in her tracks. It was so close. Just a little more, and Darcy would have seen a half-naked man lying on the floor—Wolf."Why? Is something wrong?" Darcy asked, confused."No, nothing's wrong. I mean, no, we're not having breakfast. Le

You Can't Change It

"Wolf, of course, could only gape in disbelief.Pro bono cases are cases in which a lawyer will handle clients who are unable to afford legal representation. Usually, the police appoint them. Handling so many pro bono cases is an act of charity that can be considered very rare. Cliff's choice was clearly unusual for a lawyer."So, what do you want to consult about? Sorry, but I have another appointment shortly."Cliff looked genuinely regretful."It's Zoe's case. My wife.""Oh, so you finally accepted the divorce?"Regardless of Cliff's behavior, like an angel—willing to handle many pro bono cases—Wolf still wanted to throw the staples on the table at his face.The remark was too bold and sensitive."Didn't Zoe tell you that the divorce was off? There's no divorce whatsoever. Zoe is still married to me!" Wolf retorted."Oh, sorry. I thought Zoe changed her mind. These things happen often. Many women want a divorce but then change their minds. Then they filed for divorce again. It happ

You're There?

Initially, it felt unreal. A stunning daytime dream. But slowly, Zoe returned to reality as the person in front of her continued to ask questions. Although Zoe had to force herself several times to stay focused on answering the questions, slowly she became comfortable and enjoyed it.Margot, the person interviewing her, was very calm. She didn't ask much beyond what had been agreed upon earlier. The interview session lasted about thirty minutes and was nearly over. For her first experience of a live interview, Zoe felt not bad at all."I'm sure many people were surprised to hear you joining Wolf, especially after Mr. Wolf said he wasn't aiming for the champion of that event to join his company. But in the end, you joined him. What do you think about this?"Zoe smiled. That was a question not on the list, but she could still answer it while also clarifying things for Wolf."But Mr. Wolf wasn't looking for a champion. I received the offer before the final night happened."Margot immedia

You Changed Your Wish

"I received an offer from Mr. Wolf a few days before the final happened."Emily's eyes widened."You're close to him," Emily hissed, straightening her back.She no longer wondered. She had found out who the woman Wolf cared about was.But the fact that she had found the woman didn't make Emily happy, because she also saw how the woman turned out to be close to Wolf. The woman wasn't just passing by.Seeing how the woman still talked about Wow with a nonchalant tone—not with hatred like other women of Wolf's when they were heartbroken—Emily knew that the woman was different.Emily reached for her phone, trying to contact Wolf, of course. But the result was still the same—not connected. Wolf still blocked her number."Give me your phone!" Emily demanded, pointing at Cade, who had just arrived with wine for her.Cade looked surprised but handed her his phone.Unfortunately, that method didn't work either. Wolf wouldn't easily accept an unfamiliar number contacting him."DAMN!Emily threw

I'm Not Expecting You

"Cut!"Zoe sighed and lifted her head upon hearing the shout, signaling the end of the recording. The camera had stopped rolling."Thank you." Zoe bowed several times, expressing her gratitude to all the staff who had been involved in the filming process.Her kindness was, of course, reciprocated and warmly welcomed by all the crew. It was rare to find any artist or singer willing to thank the crew and staff behind the scenes for their hard work. Usually, artists tend to feel more important than anything else because they are the center of attention in their work. But Zoe was different.And this wasn't the first time Zoe had done this. Wherever her work took her, Zoe would always do the same thing after finishing. She'd express her thanks to everyone. Zoe was never met with any unpleasant responses."That was amazing. Even though it was just a recording, I could feel the power of your voice." Darcy praised Zoe as she followed Zoe into the dressing room."Thank you. It was still lackin

Your Chance is Over

"Hi!" Zoe tried to greet Max as warmly as possible."Remember, it will only be a short while. Loria needs to leave soon," Darcy reminded, and this time Zoe had to thank her. The reason for the meeting not being prolonged had become apparent."Yes, I understand." Max smiled in agreement, and then Darcy left them."I'm sorry I couldn't respond to all your messages." Zoe spoke softly and politely. She couldn't just snap or shoo Max away.Zoe apologized even though she wasn't sorry because she didn't want anyone overhearing Max's complaints about her unanswered messages. Zoe didn't want any misunderstandings to arise."No problem. I understand," Max smiled understandingly."I've seen how busy you've been performing here and there. I understand why you couldn't reply to my messages. I'd be the same when I'm really busy."Zoe didn't want to hear that understanding. She assumed Max would give up and stop sending messages.After her agreement with Wol
