Laurence was certainly determined to make Zoey suffer. In just half a day, Zoey was both physically and mentally exhausted. She wasn’t pleased with any of the properties that the agent had introduced to her. Even though she had dramatically increased her budget, she still hadn’t found one that she liked.Zoey wondered if she had been insulated from society for so long that she had lost touch with the market—she was just looking for a one-bedroom apartment, but all of them so far would eat up close to half of her monthly salary. It wasn’t like Zoey couldn’t part with the money either. She just thought it was excessively expensive.When she returned home at night, Zoey peeled off her high heels. She was so tired that she wanted nothing more than to lie on the couch and rest, but then Laurence came out of his study to see her staring at her phone. “Have you found a place yet?” he asked, feigning concern.There was no way Zoey was going to admit that things weren’t going smoothly, so

Zoey felt as if a storm was heading her way. She could only grip the person in front of her to the point her knuckles went white. At the same time, she forced herself not to make any noise.When Laurence noticed how her bottom lip had gone white because she was biting it, he bit her earlobe, commanding softly, “Moan for me.”However, Zoey remained biting down on her lip stubbornly and did her best not to let out any sounds no matter what. Laurence seemed to have let out a soft chuckle before he started using more force in his actions.He was venting, but at the same time, he didn’t seem to be doing that.Zoey wasn’t used to the increased force. She gripped the bedsheets beneath her and bit Laurence when she couldn’t withstand the intensified pleasure.It was as though Laurence wasn’t afraid of pain. Even after blood seeped out of the bite mark left by Zoey on his shoulder, he felt it was nothing but a sting.When the woman woke up the next day, she regretted having bitten Laurenc

Zoey had nothing else to say to Laurence besides a hum of acknowledgment.However, the latter was still unsatisfied with her response. He forcefully tilted her head upward, fixing her with an icy stare. “What do you mean by that?”Zoey perked up so that she could reply to him. “Yes, I heard what you said.”All she could think of right now was to move out of Laurence’s house as soon as possible. No matter what the man said to her face, she could accept everything nonchalantly.Zoey would let Laurence be if that was how he saw himself. After all, he wasn’t wrong.The duo decided to drop the topic, albeit reluctantly. Laurence then glanced at Zoey’s suitcases. “Is this everything you’re taking with you?”Zoey explained, “I can always buy the necessities at the supermarket.”She could slowly buy the electrical appliances and furniture for her apartment. She wasn’t in a rush.Laurence helped in loading the suitcases into the trunk of the car. After getting into the driver’s seat, he

Zoey wasn’t very good at making people feel good.She had always been somewhat clumsy and slow in this regard.The way Laurence looked at her made her feel ashamed of herself, and the heat radiating from her face refused to go away.As she slowly dragged her feet toward him, she pursed her lips. “I don’t know how,” she muttered truthfully. Laurence looked at her stiff expression and then asked, “You still haven’t learned anything after all this time?”That caused her to look down and avert his gaze. After a short pause, she broke the silence and said, “No one’s ever taught me.”He didn’t like how she put herself down every time she spoke, so he lifted a thumb and used it to hold her chin gently. “Haven’t I taught you many times before?” he probed.She immediately froze up at his reply, and it took her a while to understand what he meant.He loved staring at her eyes, which were crystal clear and devoid of impurities. Her pupils were dark yet transparent. Every time she looked

Zoey’s clothes weren’t completely dry yet as she met Laurence’s gaze calmly without a word. Everyone couldn’t stop themselves from looking at her, and the atmosphere in the office seemed to have turned to ice. She followed Laurence into the CEO’s office. Subtly, he locked the door and turned around, fixing her with a sharp gaze but remaining silent. Zoey met his solemn gaze and spoke up first. “I threw water at her.” There was nothing to deny or to be afraid of. The wrath she had expected him to hurl at her did not come, and there wasn’t much expression on his face. He tapped his finger against the surface of his desk and said, “How did she provoke you? Tell me, I’m listening.” He spoke so calmly that he seemed merely to be dealing with a trivial work matter. Zoey went blank for a few seconds before collecting herself and saying calmly, “It was because she threw water at me first and said it was an accident. So I did it by accident too.” She looked up slowly and gazed at him steadi
