“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

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.

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

Phyllis silently listened to him. Hearing him show his displeasure with his mother is a first for her. Though she knows that he doesn't have a good relationship with his mother, she did not realize it was this bad because he never speaks about her. She can see that he is upset, just because his mother is trying to involve herself in his life. As far as she knows, she doesn't have any reason to visit GEM Entertainment. She is a virtuous wife of a senator, who stayed away from the entertainment industry. She never had any connection with showbiz aside from Zacharias, who's a famous singer. “I don't understand her now, babe… All my life she told me not to speak of her because she doesn't want to be involved in the dirty entertainment industry…” “And yet, she's here. Getting involved with our company. What am I supposed to think?!” “Yes, it was not a secret that I'm her son. But she doesn't want to be involved with me…” he opened up. It was difficult for him to open up about his di

Phyllis sighed. Exhaustion is evident in her eyes as she leans back on the couch. “I don't know…” “I mean, you've always been so involved with Luna, so I thought you'd do something about it. My dear, let's not play dumb. This article insinuates something more, and you know that.” Phyllis completely understands Leila's point. It's just that, now that his mother is involved, she cannot do things like before. She has to take into consideration that she is her husband's mother. So, even if Zacharias has bad blood with his mother, she cannot make a move on her own. At the very least, she has to consult him first. 'As much as I want to help, it's not like Aias will ask for my help…' 'Even if he knows I'm capable of solving his problem, I don't think he will ask.' “I'm sure Zacharias has a plan for that.” She briefly answered her friend to end their questions about his mother and the mayor's daughter. She'll wait and see what will happen next. For now. … Weeks passed and Phylli
