Zacharias's brows furrowed. “What news?” “You might want to check the trending posts right now. It's about your episode in Show Me Your Guts that was broadcasted earlier and people are talking about it.” “Among the latest posts about it is about another dating scandal of yours again. You can check it out if you have time.” He heard Eli exhaustedly spit out those words. And with his tone, he could discern that this news is about him. Again. “Alright, I'll check,” he uttered before ending the call. He placed the phone down on the bed again and opened up the strawberry yogurt he got for his wife. “What did they say?” asked Phyllis, who was quietly eating on the side. It was not unusual for Zacharias to answer phone calls in front of her. He's been more open to her ever since the filming of the show. “It's just about the broadcast of our episode. Eli informed me that a lot of people are talking about it, so I want to check.” “Oh, really?” she dejectedly responded. She's not
After settling the inheritance paperwork, Zacharias drove Phyllis back to the Lu Estate. The processing of documents went smoothly. Partly because before Grandma Sandra's passing, everything was already settled. They drove back slowly to the residence with a gloomy atmosphere. Of course, understandable, dealing with all these after a loved one's passing is stressful. However, Phyllis had to guard the property up in fear that her grandmother's sister would claim it. Her grandmother's sister is by no means a simple character. She's a powerful woman backed up by a brigadier general. Of course, she would have the power to swallow up any property she wants. Phyllis understood that the land is important. It's an important asset in the city suburbs. What she just couldn't get is why this specific land. Why would she covet this specific land? Is there something wrong with it? What value does it have for her to go far for a piece of land? Phyllis racked up her brain thinking about her gran
“Thank you, Elli,” she smiled at her friend, completely understanding the reasoning behind this whole ordeal. Ellianna jokingly hit Phyllis' shoulder. “Oh, dear, I know you're thankful~” Phyllis showed the picture of Aria and Eon “Did you know that when they were taking this photo, Eon has a bruise on his tiny arm?” Hearing this made Ellianna's eyes widen in disbelief. “The audacity?! How could she do this to our cute and adorable Eon?!” Phyllis looked at the photo in disdain. “Right? I get that she likes my husband but I hope that she does not involve the child.” “How did she manage to do that to Eon? Did you tell Rui?” Phyllis shrugged her shoulders. “The bruise is so visible on that kid's porcelain white skin, how can I hide it from her?” “How about your husband? What did he say?” Phyllis paused. She immediately recalled her husband's previous reaction when the evidence was shown to him, and it instantly soured her mood. Just the thought of it irritated her. Sure, it w
The elegant lady clung her arms to the young lady beside her. “Thank you for entertaining us today, President Lown. Tiffany and I will get going now. We were just strolling around the city and passed by the building. I figured we would drop by for a second.” “My pleasure, Mrs. Emory.” The young lady beside Mrs. Emory stepped forward and shook Taylor's hand. “It's a pleasure meeting you, Mr. Taylor.” He accepted her hand politely. “Likewise, Miss Klein.” Then, he cordially escorted the ladies to the elevator with a professional and bright smile on his face. “See you again, Mr. Taylor,” said Tiffany as she waved her hand goodbye. He just smiled at her in response. And that bright and friendly smile instantly dropped as soon as the lift's door closed. 'Fucking ruined my schedule,' he cursed in his thoughts as he approach the people he was supposed to meet. “Phyllis, I didn't know you'd be here,” he commented. He knew that her grandmother just passed away and so he was no
Phyllis comfortably sat on the swivel chair and ran her fingers across the keyboard in front of her. She scanned the whole room filled with musical instruments. “Are you using this studio with your groupmates?” she asked, curious about the activities that he was doing in this studio. Zacharias casually flumped on the sofa. “This is my personal studio. I make music here.” “Our group stays on this floor. So our dance practice room, recording studios, and other stuff are here. So I mostly spend my time here on this floor,” he explained. She nodded her head as she spun the swivel chair to look around. “Ah… I see…” “So, do you go to other floors?” she asked. “Sometimes, when there's a need,” he answered. She squinted her eyes and stared at him. “Are you sure you're not meeting your mistresses?” Zacharias jolted up from his seat from surprise. He did not expect to hear this from Phyllis. “What mistresses? I don't have one, babe!” She continued to spin the swivel chair around.
R18 content ahead! His hands playfully caressed her nape as he awaited her response. Phyllis' heart skipped a beat. Perhaps it was nervousness or excitement, she cannot differentiate the emotions she was feeling at all. Between lovers, it was normal to miss one another. However, Phyllis felt her yearning grow the moment she saw him. With every step closer, she felt more and more drawn to him. She wanted to dive into his arms immediately. It was a peculiar feeling that she only felt with him. Maybe it was because they were still in the honeymoon phase, but she wanted to embrace this fe
Zacharias and Phyllis arrived at the Eno family mansion after a brief ride from the office. Zacharias was very familiar with the way to his in-law's house because he is always here whenever he was taking care of his nephew. After parking the car, the couple alighted the car and entered the mansion following Taylor's lead. In a jolly mood, Taylor whispered to them, “They said it was steak night so of course, we have to join them~” “Hey, Taylor! You're here early, huh?” said a strict-looking old man, who was walking down the staircase. He took a quick glance at the people behind Taylor and saw Zacharias and Phyllis. “Oh, the Lohrs! Hello, dear Phyllis!” he excitedly greeted. Phyllis politely approached him to help him out. “Yes, hello, Grandpa Greg. Aias and I are going to join you guys for dinner, is that alright?” He gently patted Phyllis' hands. “Aiya~ of course, it's alright! You're always welcome here at my house, my dear.” “Your father rarely visits me nowadays, how
“Hey—” Zacharias was about to interject but he stopped midway because he felt another pinch on his thigh. His head slowly turned to his loving wife and saw her beautiful smile. It was very refreshing and harmless that he did not realize that he was staring at her. “Do you want to help her out?” asked Phyllis with an innocent and soft tone of voice. “No…” he unconsciously blurts out. Satisfied, Phyllis gently caressed his thigh. “Then, good.” Rui and Chase curiously watched from the sidelines. Rui leaned in and whispered to her dear husband. “She tamed that guy real quick, it's amazing.” “That's because your cousin is a simple man,” he whispered back. Rui giggled in agreement. “True.” Chase placed the teacup back on the table. “Taylor said that he will release an official statement later.” “So, Zach, please don't pity that girl. She took advantage of the situation and we all know that” he continued. “It's also normal to limit the resources of an opportunist artist
