Way Back Into Love (Essie)

Chapter 94 Be Friends Only (Part Two)

Zac had always refused to talk about private matters. What was more, he also hated it when others

made trouble out of nothing. She didn't want him to be annoyed, and she always knew exactly how she

should act in front of him.

But how could Essie do whatever she wanted in front of him without hesitation?

Knowing him, he should have hated this kind of woman the most, but how come there was no disgust

in his face whenever he looked at her? How could he indulge her, even?

"Zac, have you come up with a way to deal with Valery?" Leila asked as if she had thought of

something. He had Essie here and Valery in Dragon City. One was as cunning as a fox and the other

was as vicious as a tiger. Leila couldn't feel at ease wherever he was.

"Not until her men have finished traveling the world," Zac said with a sneer.

"I'll go back to Dragon City with you. Tell them that we're going to get married. After all, we used to

be..." Zac instantly interrupted her by saying, "Don't worry. I have found a solution, but it's just not the

time for it yet. Just wait."

Leila was shocked to hear this. 'He has a solution?' she thought. What method was he talking about?

Leila was confused, but she refrained from asking because she could tell from his well-thought-out

expression that he was not going to say anything.

For now, the most important thing for her to do was to get rid of Essie, her other rival in love.

Essie had participated in Beauty on Runway, and she had been invited to be the guest for the second

phase. At that time, she would teach Essie an unforgettable lesson.

In the hotel,

Essie was just about to go to bed when her phone rang all of a sudden. She looked at the caller ID and

saw that it was Hanson.

They were over. There was nothing between them anymore, so why was he calling her?

Essie was just about to turn down the call when she suddenly heard Nicole's voice in her ear. "Answer

the phone now! Hanson is one of the judges. He might have some good news to tell you."

Essie was stunned. She was not sure if Nicole had heard the gossip or if she thought there might be a

back door.

She had heard that the entertainment circle was very complicated, so those who had worked in this

circle would probably get more sensitive.

Under Nicole's eager gaze, Essie braced herself and went to the bathroom to answer the call so that

Nicole wouldn't be able to eavesdrop.

"Essie, would you like to have a cup of coffee with me?" Hanson said in a low and deep voice.

"It's late, and I have a competition tomorrow. I'm going to bed," she said lightly. There was no need for

them to meet again.

"Just for a while. It won't take long." Hanson sounded like he was almost begging her. He would go

crazy if he failed to see her today.

"Hanson, you are a judge, and I am a competitor. It would be better for us not to meet each other.

Besides, we wouldn't want to be seen by the paparazzi," Essie said in a roundabout way.

Hanson fell into silence.

Ever since he saw her and Zac looking in love with each other in the morning, his heart had felt like it

was being bitten by thousands of ants. He was in so much pain that he actually felt uncomfortable. The

fire of jealousy had destroyed him. It had made him lose his mind. The only thing he could think of was

that he wanted to see her, explain everything to her, and beg her to forgive him.

"Essie, do you hate me?"

"No, I'm not blaming you for anything. I know you had no choice." Essie paused for a while, then she bit

her lips and said, "It was also a good thing. Let us face reality. We're better off as friends, and there's

no need for us to meet each other ever again."

She was completely awake now that her dream was shattered. There was never going to be any future

between them. He told her that he loved her very much, but she knew that she was his last priority in

his heart. Bella, his family, and his own self were much more important to him than her. So the only way

he was going to choose her was if he gave up everything.

"Essie..." Hanson's eyes were already red, and the last sentence Essie said broke his heart into pieces.

Never meet again!

Was she just angry? Or did she really not want to see him anymore?

Despair devoured Hanson like a black tide rolling towards him. Without her, there was no more pride,

joy, and hope in his world, and his life was slowly drying up like a river that had been cut off from its

water source.

"I'm going to bed. Bye," Essie said lightly after hearing no response from him. She hung up the phone

at once. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

When Essie came out, she immediately saw Nicole staring at her in confusion.

"Is it okay to be unsatisfied with the judge now?" There was a touch of reproach in her tone. Although

the door was closed, she still managed to eavesdrop on their conversation.

Essie had no idea what to do. She realized that Nicole was much more eager to win than she was.

"We were nothing more than schoolmates." She tried to explain. Nicole smiled at her and put on a

facial mask as she said, "I don't care what happened between you two. All I know is that you should

seize every opportunity you can to get ahead."

"I want to win with my own strength," Essie said seriously.

Nicole shot a sidelong glance at her and sneered. 'Is she really stupid? Or is she just pretending to be

stupid? In this circle, strength cannot be relied on. She shouldn't even be thinking that!' she thought.

It was late at night.

Only a few staff on the night shift were left on the TV station.

The design studio was dark, and the unfinished clothing were scattered all over the large desk in a

disorderly manner.

The door made a creaking sound, and a strange figure sneaked in.

Its malicious and insidious eyes sparkled in the darkness, and it had a malicious smile on its face.
