Joey did not wait for Zachary. When Zachary was done comforting Rose, only Kent and Julia remained at the corridor's entrance.At the sight of Zachary, Julia approached him with concern, asking, "How is Grandma doing?"Zachary's gaze was not very friendly. However, he maintained a normal tone of voice when he replied, "Nothing too serious. But in the future, you're not allowed to have any contact with my grandmother."Julia, feeling a bit hurt by his words, replied, "Zachary, Grandma might need someone to talk to because of her age. I could keep her company and talk to her."Her words caught Zachary's attention. Under his serious scrutiny, Julia felt a bit flustered, and her eyes began to dart around the room. Biting her lip, she softly asked, "What's wrong?"Kent stood nearby, calmly observing the situation."I don't like people who cross boundaries," Zachary replied nonchalantly.Hearing that, Julia gulped. Quietly, she replied, "I got it.""As long as you abide by the

Zachary did not have any intimate interactions with Joey that night, which was rare.Until three in the morning, he still couldn't figure out why Joey had changed. She had been using the pseudonym "Chloe" for the past three years when taking orders. It wasn't something that happened after she started working. After much contemplation, he thought it might have slowly changed after Julia appeared. Could it be that she was jealous of Julia?Suddenly, Zachary seemed to have an epiphany. He glanced at Joey, who was asleep, and inched closer to her. Joey felt herself being pulled into Zachary's embrace. Instead of resisting, she chose to comply.The next morning, when Joey came out of her room, she was surprised to see Zachary having breakfast with her grandmother. He was gentle as if nothing had happened between them last night.As she sat down, her grandmother grinned at her as she served her a bowl of stew. "Thank you, Grandma," Joey said."I feel relieved that you two are fine.

After the assistant hung up the call on Joey's phone, she shook her head and muttered under her breath, "Ms. Linton is not married. What the heck is he saying?"Having said that, she glanced into the office, where Samuel was chatting with Joey. Instantly, a smile appeared on her face. Even though Ms. Linton had a great on-screen chemistry with Mr. Gray, Julia was a fan of pure romance. Zachary buying a bag for Julia during the show had turned the assistant against their ship.Hence, she decided to support the Samuel-and-Joey ship instead. When she heard that Samuel was Joey's senior, she envisioned a heartbreaking campus romance.When the phone rang again, she picked it up. Realizing it was the same number as before, she impatiently answered."My dear sister-in-law!" Kent called anxiously."Who are you? Ms. Linton is not married. What are you calling her?" the assistant said fiercely.Zachary took Kent's phone to ask, "Where's Joey?"The assistant paused for a moment. That voi

Joey picked up the plate and stood up. With an indifferent expression on her face, she replied, "Because, for three years, I've told you so many times and never bothered about it. I don't want to talk about it anymore. I feel it's pointless that you want to know now."She walked into the kitchen and started washing the dishes. When she was just done with the dishes, Zachary hugged her from behind and kissed her ear."Joey, tell me. For the past three years—""If you want to do it, do it quickly. Don't delay my sleep; I have to get up early tomorrow," Joey interrupted his soft words of service.Zachary pinched her waist. "Stubborn, aren't you?"Joey winced from the pinch and furrowed her beautiful brows. "Are you doing it or not? If you're not doing it, get out. Anyway, I wasn't home for a week, and neither were you. You came home for a different taste after you got sick of Julia, right?""I was at the Gray Estate this week. Why are you making wild guesses? You keep denying

Joey instinctively turned off location sharing. When she was pacing back and forth, debating whether to call back, Zachary's call came through.Joey took a deep breath, answered the call, and casually asked, "What is it?""You do know I'm on my way, don't you?" Zachary sounded displeased. It was evident he was upset about Joey turning off location sharing."Well … what's the issue?" Joey asked calmly.Zachary replied, "Then why did you turn it off? Share your location and wait for me.""Why are you coming over?" Joey's voice held a touch of annoyance. She wasn't exactly thrilled about Zachary dropping by."Your location."Pursing her lips in mild annoyance, Joey reluctantly shared her location with Zachary, Baffled by his insistence to show up, Joey was a bit puzzled and annoyed.Zachary pulled up in his car, spotting Joey by the hotel entrance, looking at her phone. He honked. Joey furrowed her brows and looked in his direction.The evening streetlights cast a glow on he
