Semua Bab Love in the dark: Bab 281 - Bab 290

To Zoey, the look in Laurence’s eyes seemed to say, "I don't even mind yet, so why are you acting up first?" Laurence snorted and said dryly, "There's no need." She pretended not to hear him and carried a pillow to the couch. He glanced at the time and said impatiently, "Get in bed." She stayed motionless. Laurence didn't have much patience with her and grabbed her arm, picking her up horizontally. He tossed her onto the bed roughly, the hem of her dress riding up to her thighs. Her long hair cascaded over her shoulders, and she blushed. He hugged her waist tightly and warned into her ear, "Don't play this game with me."Zoey couldn't beat his strength, and her breathing quickened. It wasn't that she couldn't bear sharing a bed with him, but she worried he would act up again in the middle of the night. She couldn't deal with his impulsive bursts. "I'm tired, Mr. Scott."Laurence stared at her red lips and said nothing. He switched off the lights and slipped his finger into he

Matthew had worked for Laurence for many years, but he had rarely seen such a dark expression on the CEO’s face. He felt as if the temperature in the room had fallen a few degrees. He didn't know who Laurence was talking to on the phone, but they could ruin his mood so drastically in minutes.Laurence was so furious that his chest ached like a fire burned in it. However, he had started it. He gripped his phone so hard that his knuckles turned white. He let out a cold laugh and smirked, suppressing his rage and saying nonchalantly into the phone, "You really impress me. I must say, you have my respect."Zoey said, "I must find a way to continue living my life, mustn't I?" She felt exhausted and no longer wanted to bother with him. She hung up and put her phone face-down on the table. Arielle couldn't stop herself from slapping the table and bellowing, "How could he be so rude? Why are his words so venomous? He's so ruthless that I really can't stand him!" Zoey comforted Arielle as i

Zoey wasn’t going to acknowledge the fake words coming from Rick’s mouth. He noticed her cold expression and sneered, “Don’t you believe me?” She didn't want to continue this argument. Expressionless, she reminded him, "Rick Preston, it probably isn't good for the Preston family to find out we go way back.” His mother died in truly questionable circumstances. He probably didn't want his misdeeds revealed. Rick smiled. "Indeed, it's not. But the Preston family only have me now." That was why even though they looked down on him as an illegitimate son, they still brought him back home from abroad. Zoey retorted, "Are you sure your father has no other illegitimate children out there?" The way she spoke with a tense, serious expression was reminiscent of Laurence. Not only in the indifferent gaze they shared, but even their aura was similar. She smiled again and continued, “Mind your own business when you have your own problems to solve.” Rick was rendered speechless. Masking

Sweat appeared on Zoey’s forehead due to her furious struggle. Gradually, she sensed the change in Laurence as she heard his low voice calm down. She quietly lied on the couch and stared at him. “Get up,” she said.Laurence wasn’t one to listen to her, and he trapped her in his embrace, unable to move. Zoey was angry; she wouldn’t have anything to say if Laurence had waited for her downstairs just to sleep with her. She looked at him exasperatedly. “If you cling to me like this, I’m going to suspect that you just can’t leave me.”Laurence’s gaze stilled, and he dug his thumbs harder into her face. A moment of silence later, he let out a cold chuckle. “Who do you think you are?”Zoey let out a huge breath. This couldn’t get any better. She continued to rile him up. “So what are you doing now?”“Can’t I torment you?” Laurence asked as he dug his hands into her chin, his grip not at all gentle.Zoey turned her face away, not wanting to look at him. “Is there a limit to how long thi

Zoey still hadn't found a job. However, she was determined in her pursuit of a new job, unwilling to believe that Laurence could have so much power over her life.After a break, Zoey went to the shopping mall toilet to swap her high heels out for a pair of flats that she'd just bought to continue job hunting.Finally, at 3 pm, Zoey got an invitation for an interview.The invitation was from a well-known entertainment company, and the job opening was for the position of manager.Zoey wasn’t particularly interested in being a manager for a celebrity, but she accepted it since she hadn't received other offers. After all, beggars couldn't be choosers.Zoey got the company address and hastily made her way there using the subway.Perhaps it was because the entertainment company was well known, but it was situated in the busiest area of the city.She called the human resources department once she arrived at the company. The staff quickly rushed to greet her, looking more excited for th
