Their appearance could be compared to a meteorite falling into the Pacific Ocean and causing enormous waves.
Since Valery was pregnant with Zac's baby, everyone thought that she would marry Zac. But now, Zac had actually brought another woman with him to a high-end party. Besides, the woman standing next to him had always been Leila. They did not expect him to have a new girlfriend!
Everyone in the party had their eyes on the couple. Zac was always the focus of celebrities and the center of the topic in this kind of gathering. So naturally, the new woman standing next to him would be targeted by the crowd.
Before Essie and Zac could settle down, the socialite divas rushed over to greet them. They looked at the woman next to Zac with the same expressions: envy and hate.
With furrowed eyebrows, Essie pretended to be playful and annoyed. "If you ever take me out again, you must buy an unexpected insurance for me in advance because if looks could kill, I would already be dead."
With a charming smile playing at the corners of his mouth, Zac said, "I will keep you safe."
"You are obviously a high-level elixir that constantly releases a seductive aroma anytime and anywhere, so you are always attracting rotten peach flowers."
While Essie was mumbling to herself, a gentle and magnetic voice suddenly came from their side. "We meet again, little beauty!"
Essie turned around and saw Jim walking towards her.
She was a little shocked to see him there, but then she realized that the reason Jim came to the show was because Zac had asked him to.
There were two beautiful women standing beside Jim. They made no attempt to disguise their graceful gestures. It was easy for Essie to see that Zac liked to keep a low profile. At the very least, he never spent time with anyone he had nothing to do with.
"Nice to see you, Jim." She smiled.
"Do you want to come over to me, my gossip girl?" Jim said with a teasing smile on the corners of his mouth, reminding Zac in secret that he still owed him a big piece of gossip.
Zac rolled his eyes and lifted Essie's chin up to kiss her. His action surprised Jim so much that he was not able to react for a long time.
The exaggerated expression on Jim's face frightened Essie.
It was just a kiss. It wasn't like they did anything inappropriate for children right then and there. Was it necessary to be so shocked?
Of course, Essie did not know that Jim was shocked because of Zac's hidden disease. Zac didn't even let Jim, whom he had been friends with his entire life, touch him, not to mention others. And now...
'Oh my God! What shocking gossip!' thought Jim.
"Have you cured it?" Jim asked.
Zac didn't reply. Instead he just flashed him a sly and profound smile.
"But how?" He was extremely curious.
