    Chapter 697


    Although Patrick brought Cordy home to her mansion, his request to go inside or for a drink was


    summarily refused.


    She really was ruthless.


    Fortunately, she received her roses, although that was because he threatened to go in the mansion if


    she did not.


    Cordy waspelled to take his roses, and that put Patrick in a good mood.

    She probably didn’t notice, but her guard against his courting and his presence in general was easing.


    Before, Cordy would look at him as if he was an idiot no matter how hard he tried, and strode off into


    the distance.


    The path before had certainly been long and harsh, but now… There was hope.


    Meanwhile, filming for the second stage of ’Actors on Set’ was under way at North City Channel’s


    studios.


    Viewership on the first season crushed every other variety show, and shot straight to trending


    searches.


    Naturally, Zoe was mentioned to some extent as well, since many were curious about her sudden


    disappearance from the spotlight. However, she had too few scenes; it was clear who the production


    crew wanted to lead the show. They even went out as far as to advertise themselves on search


    engines while pushing Zoe out of the spotlight.


    However, Zoe still managed to make the first eight most searched actors and actresses.


    It was a rtively safe spot for her, which was why her performance was calmer in contrast to the first

    Zoe was one of them, since she had been ced eighth-smack dab in the middle.


    A little further down, and she would be tenth.


    And she was very sure that none amongst the judges’ panel would pick her.


    Although her best hopes were in Hailey, she had a nagging feeling that Hailey had be biased


    against her during the rehearsals. In turn, this made her even less confident, i


    ‘Forget it,’ Zoe thought to herself as she inhaled deeply.


    Whatever will be, will be. There was no helping it if she really was going to be eliminated. She just had


    to rx and give a proper show.


    She was the fourth act, and she prepared to take the stage.


    Her partners Wynn and Candice were nervous as well, and they did a group cheer before going on


    stage.


    They were ying a part in Jay’s movie, and Zoe was ying Cora’s role. She had considered a great
