Chapter 78
“Yeah, it’s been over a year since Winona vanished, and Zane’s been all wrapped up in his career. Not a single whiff of scandal around him, which is pretty remarkable if you ask
1. me.
I heard there was this intern who had a thing for him and tried to make a move. Scared the crap out of Zane–fired her on the spot that very night. Then he went and posted this long memo at work, declaring he was a married man.
And get this: the memo was like some grand love letter to Winona. There was nothing crude or sleazy about it; it was pure poetry. Knocked the socks off half the female fans in the company.
He even hung their wedding photo all over his office–on the back wall, desk, and even the screensaver on his computer is a picture of them together. Dude’s like a one–man wife appreciation society, haha.”
Elysia chuckled, “Winona sure picked the right guy, and it wasn’t for nothing she married him under all that pressure back then.”
“True that. It’s only when I see Winona and Zane together that I believe marriage can actually be beautiful.”
Blossom gave Elysia a look that said a thousand words.
Elysia knew what she was getting at and teased, “You can’t judge the whole forest based on one withered sapling. Love can still be a beautiful thing.”
“Nope, it’s not love that has to be beautiful–it’s true love that counts. Plenty of fake love
out there.”
Elysia teased back, “And here’s a bachelor giving love advice.”
“What do you know? The observer sees all; the player is blind. Us single folks are the real
love critics.”
Elysia laughed. “Sure you are.”
As they chatted, the waiter came over, accompanied by a lady doctor and two nurses. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Elysia was taken aback. Doctors and nurses in a hotel?
It was just a little scratch, and they’re making such a fuss?
This place was the crème de la crème of Jindale City’s hotels, alright. The service was impeccable.
The doctor carefully treated Elysia’s wound and asked gently, “Any other injuries?”
Elysia shook her head with a smile, “No, that’s it.”
Elliot watched Elysia, frowning.
There was clearly a bruise on her neck!
After giving Elysia some advice, the doctor left.
Elysia was impressed. “No wonder it’s pricey here; the service is top–notch.”
“Obviously, it’s the service industry. If we’re paying, we better get treated like royalty.”
“Exactly; only with money can you be a princess; otherwise, you’re just Cinderella.”
“Cinderella had her comeback, too. I’m rooting for you, girl. You’re gonna be a rich lady one day.”
Elysia was grinning ear to ear. “With a little luck from you, if I do strike it rich, you’ll be the first one I’ll repay. I’ll get all your heartthrobs to call you ‘sweetheart.”
Elysia was money–minded, Blossom was into young celebs, and Winona was all about her
career.
Those were their quirks.
At the mention of heartthrobs, Blossom’s eyes lit up like Christmas trees, “Hurry up and get rich, will you? I can hardly wait.”
Seeing that lovesick look in her eyes, Elysia reminded her, “Easy there, tiger. The kids are around; don’t corrupt the young minds.”
Blossom winked at her, then got serious. She handed the menu to Elysia and said, “We’ve already ordered. Take a look and see if you want to add anything.”
Elysia didn’t hold back, taking the menu and casually asking, “Haven’t seen Evan around.
Is he in the restroom?”
Without a second thought, Blossom replied, “Yeah, he’s off doing his business.”

Elysia didn’t think much of it.
Meanwhile, Evan had just arrived at Tarquin’s private room door.
