She did not want to talk any further.The more she said, the more fault they would pick.She stood up intending to leave."Stay right there." The actress ran toward her. "Shouldn't you apologize to Yvonne?""Why should I?" Zoe found it ridiculous."You took her spot. Don't you think she deserves an apology from you?""The judges were the ones who gave me that spot. If you find it unfair, you should look for the judges and not me.""You're great at passing the buck, aren't you, Zoe?""I'm telling the truth.""Let me tell you another piece of truth. If you don't formally apologize to Yvonne today, you can forget about leaving this place."Zoe furrowed her brows."Let's see who wins this time." The actress blocked Zoe's way to the exit with a smug look on her face.Zoe tried to compose herself. If this had happened three years ago, she would have kicked the woman aside. What an eyesore!But now, she had to admit that she did not have the guts to.She did not have the guts

"I'm back now, aren't I?" Zoe smiled cheekily."I thought you were never coming back!" Quinn complained.Of course, Zoe would never dare to admit that she had considered that possibility before.She had become a lot more tactful over the years."I just went elsewhere to get a breather. Now that I'm in a better mood, I'm back." Zoe tried to explain herself."Why didn't you reach out to us over the past three years?" Quinn could not get over herself."Can't I just wallow in self-pity for a while? All of you ended up rich and famous, while I'm down and out. Can't you give me some time to be jealous of you guys?" "Zoe! Be serious!""Yes, yes. I was just afraid that if I reached out to you, you would betray me. There are many people in North City I don't want to see, so I had to hide.""Who are they?""Don't you already know?" Zoe tried to skirt the topic."Jay Parker?" Quinn cut straight to the chase."Not just him, really.""Did you know that back then, Jay…""Can we not ta

The three of them left the restaurant."I'll send you home," Cordy and Quinn said to Zoe at the same time.Three of them exchanged glances and smiled.What chemistry.Zoe shook her head. "I'll head home myself. This place isn't far from my apartment and it's quite convenient to get home.""Why don't you let us send you home?" Quinn's eyes narrowed. "Are you going to refuse to meet us again from tomorrow onward?""How could that be? I've set my mind to taking root here," Zoe said exaggeratedly, "I forgot to tell you guys, I'm participating in this variety show called Actors on Set and I just progressed to the next stage.""So why aren't you letting us send you home?" Quinn was adamant."My house is shoddy and I'm afraid I won't be a good host to you both. After I strike it rich and buy a huge mansion, I'll invite both of you to my house and extend amazing hospitality.""I'm afraid I won't live so long to see that day come." Quinn joked with a roll of her eyes."Hey, how can yo

Zoe's eyes shifted.All of a sudden, she saw Jay appear, and he was surrounded by many cameras too.They were probably filming behind-the-scenes of the rehearsal.There was not much footage to offer here, though, given that she was all alone. "Where are Candice Lowe and Wynn Yaden?" the director asked."They aren't free.""You're the only one rehearsing?""I don't have anything else to do anyway," Zoe said with a smile.The director did not say anything further, and he led the camera crew away without a word."Wait," Jay suddenly called out."Mr. Parker, what's the matter?" the director asked politely."Since we're already here, let's have a look at Zoe York's solo performance.""All right." The director agreed before turning to Zoe. "Give your movie excerpt a shot."If Zoe were honest, she would have said that she was not willing to do it.There were many scenes of conflict which made it hard for her to get into the mood all by herself."Zoe York, put your best foot fo

In the midst of screaming, Zoe heard a familiar voice."It's me.""Jay Parker," the voice said in a low tone.'Jay Parker?!'Zoe was stunned for a moment.So that thing was Jay.No, no. Jay wasn't a 'thing'.All right.Regardless of whether it was a 'thing' or not, what was Jay doing here?!Did he need to rehearse his scenes in the middle of the night as well?"I dropped my phone when you pushed me just now. Help me find it, it should be nearby," Jay told her.Zoe furrowed her brows.Could he not look for his own phone?!How could she find it in this darkness?But she agreed at that moment.How could she dare offend Jay?That would immediately cut off all paths in the entertainment industry for her.She tried to walk around in search of his phone.The moment she stepped forward, she heard a suppressed grunt from Jay."I'm so sorry." Zoe immediately apologized.She probably stepped on him.Zoe was flabbergasted at how dark everything was. A power outage had cut off
