“Why didn’t you tell me?” Clifford was somewhat displeased. He wasn’t too satisfied with the
reunion either, especially since ine had saved Zendaya. They should be confronting each other
right now instead of this wind situation. Had I known earlier that ine woulde I’d have
certainly made good use of the opportunity.
When his train of thought ended there, Clifford suddenly felt an unease stirring within him. His gaze
involuntarily swept over Zendaya, who was standing quietly to the side with her head lowered. I
knew it Despite what Zendaya said earlier, she thinks only of me. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have
uddenly felt inferior and be quiet upon seeing ine. I bet she realized that there no way she
can return to my side noe that ine har returned. She shouldn’t have tried to have a temper
tantrum with me. Not everyone can y hard to get. Even if she cries now, I can’t be soft–hearted
with her anymore.
Isabe was confused when she noticed Clifford stealing nces at Zendaya, so she decided to
use her power. As a result, she almost fainted from holding back herughter. She’s just trying not
to be involved by lowering her head awkwardly. Besides, she’s currently a service staff on duty.
Now that the issue has been resolved, it’s only natural that she stepped aside, waiting to serve. Is
Clifford seriously expecting her to enter the spotlight and put on a show? Zendaya, lift your head
quickly. Let him see if there are tears on your face. Otherwise, you’ll be subject to nder, which is
more terrifying than serual rumors!
With a numb expression, Alexander patted Isabe’s back, responding to Clifford’s earlier question
in an even more weary tone. “I mentioned it, but you didn’t ask.”
Clifford was about to say something but was abruptly interrupted by Isabe.
Isabe felt that if she didn’t speak up, she would dieughing. “Are you all right, Zeya?”
Zendaya lifted her head, her countenance devoid of any signs of mncholy. Instead, she said
anxiously. “I’m fine.”
Isabe then said, “Can you please bring a ss of wine for ine?”
ine nced over and ordered a drink with a smile, interacting with Zendaya in a natural manner.
Zendaya immediately responded with a sweet smile and then turned around to prepare the drink.
The atmosphere gradually returned to that of the party when the crowd noticed there wasn’t any
more gossip to indulge in.
Meanwhile, Clifford was dumbfounded by the harmonious scene and theck of conflict between
Zendaya and ine. This shouldn’t have happened!
I bet you’re surprised. Those two don’t care about you. Please, stop your wild imaginations. Isabe
grinned.
At that moment, ine paid no attention to Clifford. Instead, she moved directly to Isabe’s side,
grinning as she pulled out her phone to show off a picture of a handsome guy.
“Since you’re an artist in the entertainment industry, do you know him?” ine asked excitedly, her
eyes practically sparkling.
Isabe was stunned, not understanding why ine suddenly blurted out such a sentence.
When the perceptive Clifford heard that, he turned his zing gaze toward the two women.

The others also shifted their attention to the two.

The edge of Deborah’s lips twitched when she saw the photo because that handsome guy was just
ine’s type.
“This is what held me up earlier. I ran into him as soon as I stepped out. I found him quite
appealing, so I tried to strike up a conversation, but his manager stopped me. Unfortunately, I’m not
familiar with local celebrities. It’ll be great if you could introduce me to him.” ine said, then acted
as though she was ready.
for a romantic chase.
ine’s voice was loud enough for all her surrounding friends to hear what she said.
The atmosphere suddenly fell into an ceric silence.
That was a development Isabe didn’t anticipate. She stealthily cast a nce around and
discovered she wasn’t the only one sneaking peeks. Others were doing the same.
It seemed as though everyone could hear the sound of a heart shattering into pieces.
K.O.! Clifford should understand what’s going on now. Isabe thought.
As expected, Clifford’s expression changed. It was as if there was a fire in his eyes as he stared at
ine. Even when Millie tried to pull him back to his seat out of jealousy, hepletely ignored
her.
At that moment, Zendaya came over, carrying the drink that ine had ordered.
Just as ine was about to thank Zendaya, she paused. A look of confusion and resignation settled
on her countenance as she tapped her long fingernails against the wine ss.
She then addressed Zendaya, who was about to step aside. “Could you pour me another cup,
Pretty?”
Zendaya was already feeling nervous serving ine. Upon hearing ine’s request, she
responded, “Is there a problem with this drink?”
Isabe was also perplexed. ine seems friendly with Zendaya earlier. Why is the dissatisfied with
the drink Zendaya prepared now?
Before ine could speak, Clifford suddenly appeared, slinging an arm over Zendaya’s shoulder.
He turned to ine with an “I knew it” expression, his voice cold as he said, “What’s the meaning of
this? Why are you targeting her deliberately? ine, don’t tell me you didn’t know she’s my
girlfriend?”
As soon as the crowd heard that, they were delighted and cheered in their minds for the start of
more gossip.
Did his brain short–circuit again? Wait a minute. D*mn, did he think that ine was intentionally
using another man’s picture to provoke him and make him jealous? Is that why he’s dragging
Zendaya into his little y? My goodness, who’s going to plug this guy’s wild imagination? If he
needs a sidekick, shouldn’t he turn to Millie? Oh, he thinks that ine is troubling Zendaya right
now, so he thinks involving Zendaya in his act will be most effective. D“mn. I don’t know whether to
call him smart or stupid, but he sure did get everything wrong! Isabe furrowed her
brows.
The sudden shift in the atmosphere had everyone on edge. After all, they all assumed ine had
finally reached her limit and was about to confront her recement,
Meanwhile, Clifford was also having a tiff with ine by using his rebound.

Upon hearing Isabe’s thoughts, Alexander felt awkward for his buddy.
ine was dumbfounded after listening to what Clifford said.

She was no pushover and immediately said, “Clifford, do you have a loose screw in your head?
First, I’m not targeting anyone. Second, isn’t Millie your girlfriend right now? I saw you two holding
hands earlier. How could it be this prettydy? You guys are clearly ganging up on her.”
Having regained her senses, Zendaya swiftly turned and left Clifford’s outstretched arm. It was as
though she was avoiding a contagious disease, immediately distancing herself by three steps,
signifying that there was no connection between her and Clifford.
Deborah nced over and came to her friend’s defense. “The cocktail she ordered is usually served
with lemon in our country, but not abroad. She must have forgotten to mention it when she ordered.
She’s allergic to lemons, you see.”
Zendaya was originally still in shock, but that moment left her stunned. The look in her eyes
flickered with a momentary change. She wanted to say something, but he stuck to the rules and
kept her mouth shut.
ine yfully suggested, “Could you get me another one without lemon? Don’t waste this one,
though. I think you’ll like it. It’s on me.”
“All right. I’ll prepare a new one for you right now. However, I can’t drink while I’m on duty. I’ll save it
for after work. Thank you, Ms. Graham, Zendaya replied.
“Don’t call me Ms. Graham. Call me ine,” ine said amiably.
Even Deborah could sense that ine seemed to have fallen for Zendaya.

The crowd was whispering among themselves, disappointed that there were no confrontations and
that the rumors were fake.
Watching ine and Zendaya conversing affectionately, Clifford, who just a moment ago was ready
for a confrontation, seemed like a mere backdrop at that moment, ignored by everyone.
