Despite being caught red-handed, he still maintained his calm countenance, he presumed that the worst might happen if he ever got swayed. However, Jennifer was still worried after he almost called her by her name, perhaps he did call her by the name. She never expected that to happen since it was their first meeting after being missing for months.After she enquired what she had done wrong and received no response from him, she suspected something peculiar about him. Although he seemed perfectly fine, his face was pale yet he was glowing like a rose, his eyes were devoid of emotion which left her completely speechless, pondering what could be wrong.He tried all he could to articulate his words in a way she wouldn't have to get worried but it was quite difficult to always pretend everything was right when it wasn't, especially when he desperately wanted to recall all his forgotten memories. If none of it was going to flash across his head, he wanted to at least catch a glimpse of what
After getting ready to leave, she sauntered casually to his room to inform him before heading out. It wasn't something she used to do but she had the yen to talk to him before leaving for the location she wanted to see him and ask about how he was feeling. As she entered, it came as a big surprise to find him still in bed which was quite usual. It aroused her anxiety. Staring at him as he slept, he looked pale than yesterday. She leaned over and tapped him gently on his bare arm since he was shirtless and the duvet was half close to his chest. Gwendolyn didn't have the time to drool over him, it was something she couldn't resist ever since she set her eyes on him but today, she was concerned to know about how he was truly feeling. “Good morning, Zayn.”Although he wasn't fast asleep when she spoke, her voice echoed in his slumber. Slowly his long eyelashes began to move as he tried to figure out how close she was through his vague vision, if she was leaning so close he would have to b
When he requested an explanation, Mr. Robert didn't know what else to tell him as the conference was urgent and they only had forty minutes before it was initiated. His persistence in doing what he wanted wouldn't let him surrender to anyone, or accept what he was saying. The moment he made up his mind to leave the mansion and the butler couldn't stop him, his phone rang and when he checked the caller ID, Zachary was the one calling, like he knew that with amnesia, no one could still control his grandson.He informed him about the situation, the new vice chairman was presumed to attend the meeting but Zachary wanted to announce his return as everyone already thought Lucien Redgrave was dead after he went missing for months. Back then he was the vice chairman of all Redgrave's companies before Mr. Carey was appointed to take over the position after what happened. Mr. Carey was the only one he could trust with the company's finances, now that his grandson had returned, he hadn't decided
There was a minute of awkward quietness that evolved after what Zachary said, while waiting for a response from Zayn, none of them was ready to interrupt; they were anticipating Zayn's reaction. Not him, because at that moment he was trying to apprehend what his grandfather just said. None of them ever spoke about his marriage with the lady before, including Jennifer. He inferred everything was cooked up just to make him return home. When he gaped at Mr. Carey gave a nod to what Mr. Redgrave said. The truth sounded more like an outburst to his ears, it was something he had never foreseen or ever thought about and it left him speechless for a minute. If he had a wife before, then that implied the marriage with Gwendolyn was void. His body pulsed with ire, prompting him to extend his hand to his neck and loosen his rose tie. Somehow the office strangely felt hot, perhaps because he was shocked. Nothing made sense to him, he assumed all of them might be playing a trick on him. None of
“Thanks for coming tonight. How's Zayn doing?” Kathryn asked, on her way to the dining room. She drew a seat for herself while Gwendolyn also did the same. The maids came over and served their food before leaving. “He's doing well. He sent his regards. I don't think I'll be waiting for Dad to return, if he doesn't join us for dinner, I'll give him a call tomorrow.” Kathryn checked her watch, and with a long sigh, she gazed at the entrance. “He didn't say he'll be late tonight. I told him you're coming home to have dinner with us, he thought Zayn would be present too because he intends to have a conversation with him. Is it important?” She asked curiously.She shook her head vigorously. “No. Since it's been a while we talked, I want to ask how he's doing.” She paused for a while, recollecting what she said about Zayn. She couldn't think of anything her father would want to discuss with him. He didn't tell her anything. “Did he by any chance tell you why he wants to see Zayn?”With a
Ever since they had the conversation during their ride, a series of thoughts had overwhelmed his mind. When he thought of what Jace told him, he was still perplexed. No chance, the person Jace might be referring to couldn't be his grandfather. On the other hand, there were a lot of people he had been close to for the past few days but none of them appeared to be dangerous. After all, people knew how to conceal their intentions. He was in his office while having a smooth conversation with Kevin, Jace returned to his office after meeting his grandfather. Zayn insisted he wouldn't be tagging along because he had other important business to attend to, although he hadn't officially taken over business because Mr. Carey was the acting vice chairman, Zayn had some major work that couldn't be neglected now that he had returned. The moment Jace slumped onto a couch, Zayn dismissed his executive assistant with a gesture. Kevin handed over the files to him before exiting the office. “Did grandf
“We don't have many scenes left to shoot. I just think that the shoot is almost over. Gosh, to be honest, I wish it wouldn't end this soon. I have so much fun working with you, Gwen.” Shane expressed his dissatisfaction, looking straight into her eyes. Ever since they arrived at the restaurant, sitting at the VIP's he had been talking nonstop. Gwendolyn wasn't as enthusiastic as he was, however, she didn't want to ruin his moment, it appeared that he was enjoying himself. Thinking about right from the moment the director introduced them, at that instant she knew Shane idolized her more than anyone else. After all, she was mostly everyone's favorite and always left a remarkable impression on anyone she ever had a shoot with.“Have we met before?” She enquired. She presumed their current shoot shouldn't be the first thing that brought them together. She couldn't recall if they had met before, but she knew it was not their first time meeting.“Mh-mmm, I can't say we've met before and I
“What was that earlier?” Gwendolyn shut the door behind her, dropped her heels on the floor, slumped against the door, and then buried her face in her palms. Recollecting the event that happened two minutes ago, her heartbeat rapidly. She couldn't believe they kissed. “What's wrong with me?” She lowered a hand to her chest which was beating faster than before, pouting as she soliloquized while gazing on her feet as she curled up. She couldn't believe that she kissed him even though the first kiss was a mistake. However, it was certain that she didn't regret it but why was she feeling strange even after the kiss? She was pondering what Zayn would think of her after she took the opportunity. Gwendolyn tried to snap out of it but her mind kept drifting back to Zayn no matter how hard she tried to distract it. ‘Am I in love with him?’ Even though the question was an absurd question to ask herself, she still contemplated the answer. She could scarcely deny her feelings for him if she didn
