Jenny flushed, "I met him when we were in high school. After so many years, he must have forgotten me."
"So you should do your best to make him fall in love with you." Cherry refrained herself from laughing. She knew that he must not do anything that would make him unhappy with her. He must put her into the blacklist and then he was dumped by Mary.
"I remember that he didn't talk to girls before. He was as cold as ice. Will he still be like this?" Jenny was a little nervous.
"I believe he just hasn't met the girl he likes. If he met the right girl, he must be gentle to her," Cherry patted her shoulder to comfort her.
A tinge of expectation appeared on her face. "In fact, I fell in love with him at the first sight of him. He is so handsome. I have never seen a boy as handsome as him."
"Yes, he is so handsome and excellent. The girl who can marry him must have saved the universe in her previous life because she is so lucky," Cherry said. She took a peek at Essie. She was so jealous.
Hearing what they had said, Essie felt her heart skip a beat. Had she saved the universe in her previous life? Or did she just destroy the universe, so she was punished by God. She was sentenced a life imprisonment in this life. So that was why she was imprisoned, worshiped, and enslaved by Zac.
After she paid the deposit, Jenny left with Cherry. After she got out of the exclusive shop, Cherry was extremely confused, because Essie kept a straight face from the beginning to the end and she didn't seem to know Zac. She could not help wondering whether her relationship with Zac was just like the one between her and Jim, who was only involved in gossip? Or, was she too sophisticated to hide her real thought?
She hoped the latter was the case. Mary was so mean that she deserved a good daughter-in-law to teach her a lesson!
Standing in front of the window of her studio, and seeing them get on the car and leave, she said a few words to Amy and Jacy and left the studio.
When she went back to the Rong Mansion, Zac was also arrived at the same time. He stretched out his arms to hold her, but was pushed away by her immediately.
If she guessed it right, Cherry was indeed prepared for him by Mary. She had planned to ask her to sneak into the CEO's office. What a deliberately plan!
But he acted like nothing had happened and didn't tell her at all. Maybe he had accepted all of them like Walt and then cultivate another one as the potential backups!
She was upset and went upstairs, ignoring him.
Sensed something different in the air, and Zac followed her promptly.
She went back to her room, closed the door, picked up the pillow and closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep. Zac went to her side and gently stroked the disheveled hair on her face. "Honey, what's wrong?"
Essie ignored and pretended to be dead.
He pulled her into his arms from behind and asked, "Are you tired or unhappy?"
She raised her eyes, and the cold light flashed through her black eyes. "Go away, don't touched me, and stay away from me." She grabbed his hand on her waist angrily and threw it aside.
Zac was surprised. The tone sounded like that she was mad at him?
