Zayn slapped the application form on Gael's body and ordered, "Send someone to give her this. Let her choose the models and hand it up."
"Yes!" Gael grabbed the form frantically and wondered why Zayn did not send someone and insisted on bringing it over. However, when he was here, he did not take it over to Bethany.
Gael held onto the form until they were back at the office.
He looked for his assistant and told her to send the form to Bethany.
Bethany had driven Bent off just before she received the form.
She increasingly felt that Bent was insane. Not only did he lay a hand on her, but he even said that he liked her and wanted to court her.
“I thought I only had to deal with Zayn. Never had I imagined that I would have to deal with the entire crazy family. She thought.
She would be a fool to believe him.
She was not blind and could see his coldness.
It was obvious that he only used the excuse that he liked her to get close to her.
Though she did not know his purpose for getting close to her, she knew that she had to keep a distance from him.
Bethany pursed her lips and took the form and returned to the design department.
When she passed by Joanna's office, she suddenly heard, "Rest assured, Zayn doesn't know yet. The last time he was just protecting Bethany. My mother was too surprised and believed him."
What does Joanna's mother have to do with her?
Bethany could not help but stop. Joanna said again, "Yeah, She is just here for the main time and her stay here is a time bomb. Zayn will know the truth sooner or later. I can't keep it from him forever."
Bethany's heart skipped a beat on hearing this and dropped what was in her hands. Joanna heard and stood up.
”Who's outside?”
Bethany came back to her senses, picked up her things, and into the room beside the office.
She quickly pretended that everything was and continued to tap on the keyboard.
Joanna ran out and asked everyone, "Who was here just now?"
"No one!" Everyone looked at each other and someone said.
Joanna was not easily fooled and narrowed her eyes as she observed everyone. She wanted to see if someone looked guilty.
After glancing at everyone, she could not detect if anyone was lying.
Did she imagine it?
Joanna turned to leave and Bethany heaved a sigh of relief.
Luckily Joanna did not notice anything. What did Joanna mean in that call? Why did Joanna say that my life was a time bomb? Why does Joanna think that I have something to do with Zayn? Could Zayn be...... How could it be?"
Bethany clenched her fists as she stood up and became increasingly unsettled.
Then her phone rang and she calmed down when she answered, "Jeff.”
“ What's wrong?” He could hear from her quivering voice and was concerned.
Bethany grinned and answered, "I'm okay. Why did you call me?"
"I just called to inform you that I will go back in a few days. I will not leave in the future, Jeff said.
Bethany laughed, “That's great. Dina will be very happy to know this.”
Jeff became sullen. Bethany realized that she misspoke and smacked her forehead, "Jeff, I...”
“It's okay. Why don't you ask me why I won't leave anymore? Jeff interrupted her.
“I know you were invited to work at the City delight Hospital, right” Bethany sat down on her seat.
Jeff was stunned and said ``How do you know this matter?”
Bethany explained, “I met Dr. Clinton when Jenna was sick. I heard that he was looking for you to perform a Surgery." She remembered that the patient was named Jessica.
“I see” Jeff sighed and said, “I wanted you to guess”.
Bethany smiled, ``When would you be back so I can pick you up?”
"Let's see when the visa will be approved, I will inform you when I get it”
“Okay,” Bethany answered and then chatted with Jeff before ending the call At this moment, a colleague walked over and said, "Ms. Quest, the seamstress said that there is a problem with the mold. Can you go over for a look?”
"Okay, I'll head over immediately." Bethany grabbed her bag and left the department.
On her way out of the building, she called someone.
“I've sent a picture, find out the details as soon as possible” She instructed before ending the call at once.
Later that afternoon, she called Erica for her to pick up the little girl.
Thereafter she took a taxi to the hotel where she was a scout five years ago.
"Excuse me." Bethany asked at the reception, "Is your manager around?"
"Yes, please wait a moment.”The receptionist smiled politely and then called the manager to come to the lobby.
The manager sized Bethany up and asked politely, "How can I help you, Miss?"
Bethany took a deep breath and asked, "Can I look at your security footage?"
The manager was stunned and rejected, "I'm sorry, Miss. I can't let you watch the footage to protect the privacy of our guests. Unless there are special circumstances."
Special circumstances...? Bethany looked down and said, "What if I were to say that I was violated five years ago and now want to find out the culprit?”
On hearing this, the manager's face twitched, and was startled.
He then said, "Then, of course, we'd gladly help. He must cooperate as this was a criminal offense. If Bethany reported the case to the police and the police came to investigate, it would affect the hotel's reputation.
"Please come this way, Miss." The manager gestured.
Bethany thanked her and went to the control room. The staff in the control room took a long time to find the footage from five years ago. They played the footage and Bethany watched with her fists clenched tightly.
"Stop!" The manager shouted. Bethany looked at him and asked, "What's Wrong?”
“Ms. Quest, just now you said that you were staying in Room 206 right?" The manager asked.
"That's right." Bethany nodded and felt unsettled. She lied. She told the manager that her sister booked a room at the hotel for her to rest and then someone came into the room and raped her.
Then the manager would not feel that she had entered the room on her own accord.
After all, it was a shameful act. The manager did not question what Bethany said but he pointed to the room and said, "But the room that you entered was not 206. It was 209."
"What did you say?" Bethany looked puzzled at him with wide-open eyes.
The manager looked apologetic and said, "It was the hotel's mistake. At that time, the number 9 in room 209 was loose and it became 206. We realized this when we checked later”
Bethany shuddered and her mind blanked out "Then who was in room 209? Bethany asked as her voice quivered.
The manager was about to answer and then he pointed to the screen, "That's him!"
She staggered out of there.
……….
Bethany did not sleep the entire night and was very tired when she went to the airport.
Zayn raised his eyebrows when he saw her tired eyes.
'Was she so excited about the conference that she could not sleep? He thought.
"Have you collected your boarding pass?” Zayn asked as he walked over to Bethany. Bethany did not reply and just sat on the bench.
Zayn frowned and waved his hand in front of her. She soon came to her senses, looked at him, and lowered her head again. She then said You're here, Mr. Meyer... "
"What's wrong with you?" Zayn asked. He felt that she was avoiding him.
"No… I'm fine..." Bethany grabbed her skirt tightly and appeared very tense.
Ever since she found out that he was truly part of the gang she could no longer behave normally in his presence.
Zayn could see that she was lying and pursed his lips.
Before he could ask her again, he was interrupted by the airport's public announcement.
His expression turned gloomy and said, "Come, it's time to board the plane."
"Okay." Bethany nodded.
After boarding the airplane, Bethany noticed that only they were in the first-class cabin and realized that something was amiss.
She then asked, "Mr. Meyer, it's just the two of us?"
Zayn was flipping through the magazine and answered, "Gael will come tomorrow."
"Oh, okay." Bethany bit her lower lip. So she would be alone with him for the next few hours? Zayn could see her expression and his gaze turned cold.
Why did she react in that manner? Was she unwilling to be alone with me? He thought.
“Mr. Meyer, can l ask you a question?" Bethany took a deep breath and asked as she did not know what Zayn was thinking. Zayn replied coldly, "Go ahead."
Bethany mustered her courage and asked with gritted teeth "What would you do if one day you found that the person you gave up everything for, has been deceiving you all along? What would you do?”.
Zayn slapped close to look at her, and asked, "Why does Bethany look down to hide her thoughts and try her best to sound natural? I'm just curious. I watched a TV series last night. In the show, the lead actor found out that she had an enemy from within the family and didn't know what to do. I'm just asking for your opinion, Mr. Meyer"
Zayn said calmly, "Take everything back. Those people do not deserve any pity at all."
