Chapter 21 In Her Dreams

The woman was stunned.Chloe's dresses were typically pricey, but she hadn't expected Julia's dress to be so expensive. Her face reddened.At first, Joey did not want to stick her nose into the matter, but since Chloe's reputation was at stake, she couldn't help but approach the two women. "Ms. Fisher, there's a lot of people at the banquet. I think you should go and change. You can talk about this when you come back."She didn't remember designing Julia's dress. The other woman's blue dress was one of her designs, though.She had put a lot of effort into the butterflies on the hem of the dress. Even so, she'd only sold it for 30 thousand dollars.80 thousand dollars? In her dreams!"Oh, it's you." Julia recognized Joey as the assistant at Emmen who had helped her try on her wedding dress. She was also one of the women at the entrance Zachary had been staring at!Angered, Julia frowned. "Do you know where this is? Regular people can't be here."Eastwell's fashion banquets wer

Chapter 22 Don't Touch Her

The security guards did not hesitate. They grabbed Joey and the woman in the blue dress, and tried to drag them out.The woman was frantic. She sounded close to tears as she said to Julia, "Ms. Fisher, I'll pay for your dress! Please don't get other people into trouble!"She held onto Joey and said in a low voice, "I can't let you get kicked out. Besides, it wasn't easy for me to get this opportunity. If I get kicked out, I'll have to pay much more than 80 thousand dollars for breaking a clause in my contract."Before this, Joey hadn't really cared about Julia. She knew Zachary did not love her, so she didn't care that he was seeing Julia. However, she was toeing the line right now. Julia felt her temper rise. She wrenched herself from the security guard's hands and said coldly, "You shouldn't pay for anything. That dress doesn't cost 80 thousand dollars. She's extorting you!"Julia's expression changed. "Extorting?" she said angrily. "I can afford to buy that 700 thousand doll

Chapter 23 Embarrassed

The woman's voice was soft and calming. Joey couldn't help but be amazed by her beauty. She smiled and said, "It's alright. You're very pretty."The woman went to the front of the group and led them to her trailer. Even in her long dress, her quickened steps were as elegant as ever.When they arrived at her trailer, she took out a new dress and placed it on the bed. Joey recognized it as another one of her designs."You really like Chloe's designs, don't you?" she laughed."My manager rented this dress," the woman said sheepishly."Everyone loves Chloe's designs," Julia butted in with a gratifying tone as she glanced at Selena."Thank you for the appreciation, but Ms. Fisher, I have to say that your makeup does not suit this dress at all," Selena said professionally, ignoring Julia's attempts to suck up to her. "I can help you to fix the dress you have on, though, if you don't mind."As the dress was rented, the woman would probably have to pay for it if she gave it to Julia.

Chapter 24 Are You Jealous

When Joey and Selena got back to the banquet, it was time to dance.Selena did not give Joey a break. She pulled her right into the crowd.Joey had cut off most of the feathers on her dress to fix Julia's dress. Now, without the cover of the feathers, the dark lines of her tattoo were visible, giving her a mysterious vibe. Joey was pretty and had a great figure. When she appeared on the dance floor, she attracted many eyes."May I have the honor of a dance, miss?" A man who looked like a foreigner approached them and politely asked for a dance."Um, no …" Before she could finish, she caught Selena's murderous glare out of the corner of her eye and changed her answer quickly. "Yes, of course."The man pulled her onto the dance floor. He put his hand on her back chivalrously. Due to the open back of her dress, she could feel his skin against hers.Joey felt uncomfortable. After getting married, she hadn't had close contact with any man other than Zachary. It had been some time si

Chapter 25 Your Wife Is Chloe

However, Joey was wary of Kent. In some ways, she felt he was in league with Zachary, as they were best friends.Joey cocked her head to the side and stared at Kent. "You know that I'm divorcing Zachary, don't you?"Kent looked taken aback, but he quickly spread his hands out in a gesture of nonchalance. "Yeah, I found out a few days ago. Don't worry, though. I don't like mixing my private and professional affairs. "Inviting Chloe isn't just my idea. The whole team decided on it. We don't want to bother her since she just lost her husband. We decided to try our luck with someone close to her.""Out of curiosity," Joey said, "Would the show provide her with an assistant, or …?"Kent gave her a meaningful look. "She'll have to bring her own assistant. The audience doesn't care. They want to see how efficient the designer is and how good the final product looks."If the show provided an assistant, it would definitely cause problems and conflict that would make a buzz, but that woul

Chapter 26 Staying Alive

Joey had tried everything in the last three years to get pregnant. She'd done health checkups at the hospital, and they had only found some follicular development issues. She'd even tried artificial insemination, but nothing worked. Right now, though, she understood something."I think you'd know if I were infertile," Zachary said, his anger apparent in his expression.Joey raised an eyebrow. "I don't know. Why did I have so much trouble trying to get pregnant over the last three years, then?""Is this all you think about?" Zachary had never been this frustrated before. Every time they spoke, she talked about kids and getting pregnant.They were getting divorced because she couldn't get pregnant. It was as if he was nothing but a tool to get her pregnant.Joey was stunned when she heard his question. When she came to her senses, she realized Zachary had picked her up. She began struggling. "Let me go, Zachary! Let me go this instant!"Zachary ignored her. He took out a car

Chapter 27 Divorce

Joey called Selena and told her she wanted to go home. She asked Selena if she wanted to leave with her.Selena seemed to be busy with something. Her voice sounded muffled. "Sure, you head home first. I need to deal with something … Oh, you tease!"Joey was speechless. She knew Selena must have met a handsome guy and gotten distracted. Selena was good at a lot of things, but her biggest weakness was handsome guys. She couldn't resist them.Exasperated, Joey said, "Then I'll head home. I'll take a cab and leave the driver for you.""Okay." Selena hung up.Relieved, Joey left the banquet.The next morning, she dressed up and went to the Gray Group.Zachary must have informed the receptionist about her arrival, as she was led to the top floor when she told the receptionist her name."Mr. Gray is waiting for you in his office. You can head on in." The receptionist knocked on the door and left her there.Joey entered the office. Zachary was still wearing the suit he had worn to t

Chapter 28 Playing Hard to Get

Monica had been taking care of Charles all this time. She had never been to the city before, so of course she had gotten lost.Joey was anxious when she heard her grandmother on the phone. She was worried about her safety if she stayed at the taxi stand, so she said hastily, "Grandma, can you give your phone to the driver? I'll talk to him.""Okay, okay!" Monica handed her phone to the driver.The driver sounded impatient. "What is wrong with you?" he scolded. He continued, "How could you let your grandmother roam around without supervision? She doesn't even know where she wants to go. You're wasting my time!"Joey apologized, "I'm so sorry for the trouble, sir. Can you drop her off at Watersgate Apartments? I'll be waiting for her there. I'll pay you three times the fare when you arrive. Is that okay?"Watersgate Apartments was a luxury neighborhood. Mollified by Joey's politeness and the offer of a tip, the driver agreed. "Fine. If you're not there, I'll leave her by the side

Chapter 29 All Good

Joey arrived just in time to meet Monica's cab. She felt relieved when she saw her getting out of the cab."Grandma, you should've told me you were coming. I would've picked you up myself. I worry about you, you know."She paid the cab driver his fare before turning to take Monica's bag from her. "Come on, let's go home. Take it easy."However, Monica did not move. She shook her head. "It's alright, I don't want to go to your apartment. I'm here to drop off Zachary's chamomile."She opened her bag with a trembling hand and showed Joey the contents. There were several plastic bags of dried chamomile flowers in the bag."The last time you brought him home, I remember he really liked the chamomile tea that I made him. We had a lot of chamomile blooms this year, so I got Leonard from next door to pick and dry them." Monica looked happy at the mention of her grandson-in-law. Her smile was warm and kind. "Don't worry, they're clean. I washed them several times, and covered them with

Chapter 30 A Deal

Monica cooked dinner and made chamomile tea as the evening approached. However, when dinner time came around, she did not start eating. She kept looking over at the door. "Why isn't Zachary home yet?"Joey looked at her. She felt sad when she thought about what Leonard had said.She couldn't imagine how she had made her way to an unfamiliar city half-blind with so many things. She'd never even left their little town.Monica was worried about her. She was worried Joey would be all alone and left with no family after her death.Did Joey think she was going to die soon and wanted to see if her granddaughter was having a good life? How could she let Monica worry about her?Holding back tears, Joey forced out a smile and stood up. "He's busy. Don't worry, I'll call him."She went to her bedroom and wiped away her tears. After some hesitation, she called Zachary. She knew what she was doing. She needed Zachary to come over, even if it meant having to beg. All he had to do was have a
