Damon was the only person left in his office, surrounded by silence. However, with that silent atmosphere, the heartache within him became more and more apparent. ‘This isn’t just my office, but her office in the past as well… There are also many things related to her here. ‘There’s the pink glass that’s built quite cutely. It’s the style she likes. There’s also a faint trace of her lipstick on it as well. I can still imagine her picking up the glass and drinking the water from within.’He then reached out his hand and caressed the faint lipstick stain on the glass. When the slightly cold sensation from the glass touched his fingertips, the heartache within him became even more intense. Damon heaved a sigh and was filled with sorrow. “You really are cruel, Jeanette.”…Meanwhile, Mimi was sitting by the bed in the hospital as she watched Zeke diligently and helplessly pursed his lips. “Mr. Russo, I told you I can handle it on my own. Why did you have to come all the way he
It was only at that moment when Zeke awkwardly turned around. When their eyes met, the atmosphere became even more awkward. Zeke scratched his head and said, “Um… You go ahead and sit on the bed. There aren’t that many things left to pack up. I’ll be alright on my own.”“Okay.” Mimi nodded and turned around after sitting on the bed with her reddened face. The atmosphere at the time was a little less than ideal, but the two of them still put on a straight face and pretended as if nothing had
That was also the first time Zeke had the urge to want to get closer to a particular woman. He wanted to get close to her, understand everything about her, including her interests, her lifestyle, literally everything. Although that would not be Zeke’s first time pursuing a woman, nor was it his first time being in a relationship, Mimi seemed to be the only person up until that moment whom Zeke found the most attractive. However, this was not because they were suitable for each other but becaus
Mimi had only just realized that she had been completely wrong about Zeke.Mimi always thought that Zeke was a workaholic who only cared about work and nothing else. He always looked fierce and extremely strict with others and had seemingly no empathy.However, today, she realized that Zeke understood life more than she had imagined, and he was more considerate.The restaurant he had chosen was first-class in terms of ambiance and cuisine. Even the dishes were comfort food and gentle on the tummy. He had shown absolute consideration for a patient like her, who was frail and needed to recuperate.The decor in the restaurant was both romantic and high class. The walls were filled with French windows, which made it look bright and clean.Sunlight streamed in from outside the window, illuminating the entire restaurant brightly. A strangely fresh fragrance permeated through the air. The restaurant was filled with beautiful music, and it made everyone feel surprisingly comfortable.“Wh
Mimi was chattering excitedly away until she lifted her gaze and suddenly caught sight of his intense stare.The pair locked eyes. The air was filled with ambiguity.Mimi was taken aback. The look in Zeke’s eyes held a hidden sense of complexity, a stark contrast from his usual stern demeanor.This was her first time enjoying someone’s care and concern. Now, she was the only thing in Zeke’s eyes. She could sense it. The man’s attention was focused squarely on her.She was taken aback. For some reason, she felt a sense of rejection, even though she should feel happy and blessed.She stared into Zeke’s impassioned gaze and felt no happiness at all, only an endless sense of awkwardness and discomfort.She should have expected this when she agreed to permit his advances.Initially, Zeke may have intended on merely giving it a try, thinking they were compatible. But now, she could clearly sense that Zeke truly had feelings for her. In fact, he liked her, very, very much.He was deep
The assistant had been with Mini when she was at her peak of popularity to her downfall to a has-been female celebrity. This assistant had suffered a lot of grief for her sake. A while ago, when she had been struck with a huge scandal, the company decided to take her assistant away and send her off to a more popular celebrity in the company. She had heard that the assistant had burst into tears at the office.Later on, the matter had changed for the better, and the assistant immediately sent a request to return to her side.However, Mimi had never let anyone tell the assistant about the hospital she was staying at. After all, she was a highly sensitive person. If she saw her lying wretchedly in bed, she might have burst into tears at the ward.Mimi gently patted her on the shoulder. “Don’t worry, you silly goose, I’m fine. I’ve made a very good recovery. Look, I look perfectly fine, don’t I?”The assistant burst into tears.“Miss Mimi, why didn’t you tell me what happened? It wa
The assistant’s mind exasperated Mimi. It’s not like she didn’t understand Mimi.In her eyes, love was love, work was work. No matter how much she wanted to become famous, she would never mix both together.If she were the kind of person to betray her own feelings for her own benefit, she would have agreed to this long ago. She wouldn’t have needed to wait until now for Zeke to pursue her.Besides, if she were that kind of girl, she would have enjoyed a smooth-sailing career like Britney. She would not have fallen to a C or D-list actress. She had avoided agreeing to Zeke’s request because she didn’t want to mix business with pleasure. All she wanted was a pure, romantic relationship.Even though Zeke’s position in the entertainment industry was so formidable that many famous producers had to grant him some leeway. If he were unhappy with any actor, he would recast straightaway, regardless of how powerful they were.He was the only director in the industry with power and persona
“Mimi…” He sighed and said, “You don’t have to be like this. I never intended to pressure you with my confession. I just wanted you to know how I felt. I said you had three days to consider it, right?”Mimi lowered her head. “I know. Don’t worry, I think it over seriously, and I’ll give you an answer once I’ve thought it through.”“That’s good.”Zeke’s heart was still in turmoil. In reality, he was well aware of the situation. The woman before him had no feelings for him at all. However, he refused to let go so easily. He liked her, even if her heart belonged to someone else. He still wanted to try capturing her heart and replace Elias.After all, this was his first time actually having feelings for a girl. If he lost this chance, he might not experience another again.He stared at her. For once, he was at a total loss over how to deal with a woman.“Uh… How are you getting home? I can drop you off.” Zeke offered. “No need, Mr. Russo. My assistant can take me home. I was just
