Way Back Into Love (Essie)

Since the opening ceremony of the fashion week, Leila had not been able to sleep or eat well. All of the theories she had in her mind almost drove her crazy.

She knew that the relationship between Zac and Essie was very special.

Zac had always been a very cold person. In fact, when he was in America, a girl showed her love for him by cutting her wrist in front of him. Blood spattered everywhere right away, but Zac simply walked away without even batting an eyelash because he thought blood as dirty.

But this time, he actually announced to everyone in the place that she was his woman, and even carried her away in his arms.

It was unusual, too unusual.

She wanted to figure it out at once.

So she asked Essie to go out with her.

Essie speculated that Leila must have misunderstood the relationship between her and Zac since he carried her away in his arms in the opening ceremony of the fashion week.

Essie had no idea how Zac explained it to her, but she felt like he had been in such a good mood over the past two days, so she guessed that they must not have quarreled with each other.

Sitting opposite to Leila, Essie quietly stirred the coffee in her cup and waited for Leila to say something first. Once she knew what was in Leila's mind, she would deal with it. She wanted to avoid creating any misunderstandings and making things worse at all costs.

"Miss Essie, I hope you can tell me the truth. Please don't play hide and seek. What on earth is your relationship with Zac?" Leila asked straightforwardly.

"Miss Leila, you two lived together for almost a week. You spent all day and night together, yet you still suspect him. I feel bad for his feelings for you." Essie shook her head and sighed.

Leila was speechless.

Essie actually thought that she was living with Zac?

'Oh my God! Not even in my wildest dreams!' she thought.

Still, it was a nice misunderstanding.

And Leila was willing to let her misunderstand everything.

"Yes, we were together for that long. I know he loves me very much, but I'm just worried that you will fall in love with him."

"Miss Leila, I think you know that I love someone else. Why would you even make that assumption?" Essie had a faint smile on her face that made her look natural and calm.

Indeed, while Hanson was not as exceptional as Zac, he was definitely outstanding, handsome, tall, and noble. Even though he was about to get married, she could still be his mistress. With her identity, she only deserved to be his mistress anyway.

Leila felt slightly relieved.

Then, Essie lifted her left hand which had been under the table, and felt the weight of the ring on her finger. She was very aware of its existence, as if it was a reminder that she was married. The trick of the ice guy really was terrible!

Even though he had a girlfriend, he still didn't want to let her go, so he put a ring on her so other men would leave her alone.

Leila's eyes fell on her ring.

All of a sudden, Leila felt like she had been struck by thunder. Not caring about her image at all anymore, she reached out to grab Essie's hand and pulled it towards herself. "This is..." Startled by Leila's sudden gesture, Essie withdrew her hand at once and said, "It's a crystal ring. I bought it from Taobao." Essie made sure to answer in an indifferent tone. Leila already seemed dangerously excited, and she hadn't even told her that it was ice guy who gave her the ring. If she told her it was Zac who gave her the ring, she would probably cut her into pieces right then and there. She couldn't say it for her life!

Leila's eyes widened. "Crystal? TaoBao? Are you kidding me?" Essie might be able to fool others easily, but not her. She was a professional jewelry designer and examiner. She could tell at a glance whether something was crystal or diamond.

"If they are not crystals, then do you think that they are diamonds? Miss Leila, I won't be able to afford such a thing even if I sold myself. I was surfing on the internet and saw it by chance, so I bought it," Essie said.

"Which store? Tell me. I'll go and buy one, too." Leila raised her voice unconsciously. She was definitely lying!

"I don't remember. I'll have to check the transaction records." Feeling a little embarrassed, Essie touched her neck. Even though she was Zac's girlfriend, Leila had no right to act aggressive towards her. She was still his wife in the eyes of the law, and Leila was nothing more than a mistress in that respect!

Now, Leila's pretty face was distorted with disbelief.

The purple diamond was the rarest, most expensive, and most precious diamond in the entire world. Only destiny could decide whether one would be able to see it in their lifetime or not. In fact, a lot of senior jewelry appraisal masters had never even seen a purple diamond in their entire lives.

It was said that Zac's family had a family heirloom.

It was a perfect heart-shaped purple diamond that weighed 8 carats, and there was nothing like it in the entire world.

It was as mysterious, aesthetic, and romantic as its name: Purple love.

She had never seen the heart-shaped purple diamond before, but she was one hundred percent sure that it was on Essie's finger now, because there was only one heart-shaped purple diamond in the whole world.

He actually gave this priceless treasure to a woman who was nothing more than a roommate?

Was he crazy? Or crazy? Or crazy?

Leila's expression became more and more ferocious.

She was immensely shocked.

It seemed to her like what happened at the fashion week actually meant something.

Terrified for her life, Essie paid the bill and ran away before Leila could kill her!

When she got home, she would have to tell ice guy that his girlfriend got so angry that she lost her mind, and he needed to take care of her.

Leila stayed alone in the coffee shop for a long time.

Roommate!

She gritted her teeth.

Essie, the green tea bitch, was so cunning and good at acting. She probably spent every second of every day trying to seduce Zac whenever she was around him.

There was no way she was going to let that girl get what she wanted.

Now all she had to do was find someone else to deal with her. She couldn't get her hands dirty.

By the time Essie arrived back at their apartment, Zac had already come back from his business meeting with William.

"Where did you go?" he asked casually. She usually shut herself in the studio every day and he rarely saw her go out.

Essie couldn't wait to tell Zac about Leila's abnormality, so she immediately said, "I just drank coffee with your beauty Leila." "Are you acquaintances?" Zac asked lightly.

How was that possible? She was hostile towards Essie.

Hearing that, Essie just curled her mouth and didn't answer his question. This was not what she wanted to talk about. She sat down on the sofa and stretched out her hand with the ring on it towards him. Then she said, "I'm afraid that Miss Leila might have mental problems. She looked so scary when she saw my ring today."

Zac frowned. "What did she say to you?"

Essie didn't answer his question. Thinking that what he really cared about was whether she had said anything that his girlfriend could misunderstand, she patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry. I didn't say that it was from you. I told her that I bought it myself from Taobao."

Zac was shocked.

What a good excuse!

"I'm smart. Don't belittle me. I know what I'm doing," Essie said proudly.

"I don't know." There was a hint of mockery on Zac's face.

'Hum, what a snob,' Essie thought.

She stood up, attempting to go upstairs. Then he pulled her back to the sofa, took out a phone out from his pocket, and threw it to her. "Here you go," he said.

Essie was surprised.

He had thrown her a birthday surprise and given her a ring. Now, he was giving her a phone.

The sugared stuff were thrown all over her body. Did he want to get a divorce tomorrow so that he could be free?

Essie couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. "No, I have a phone," she refused in a fit of pique.

"This is for me. My number is the only one you can have on this. It must be available 24 hours a day. Don't turn it off." He seemed like an emperor who was giving orders.

And those orders were assertive, overbearing, and utterly unreasonable.

"Who do you think you are?"

Essie exclaimed at once.

"Your husband." With just two short, but strong words, he was able to confine her to the private sector and monopolize her.

How could he be so hard on her?

Essie picked up the phone and looked at it. It was a silver and black phone without a logo on it. There was one character carved on it that was like the one engraved on his credit card, phone, computer and tablet. It showed that all of those things were his, and it seemed like this, too, was customized especially for Zac.

'What a conceited and narcissistic man!' Essie thought to herself.

"I'm going to bed." She put the phone into her pocket and went upstairs as her mouth twitched.

At the same time, there was a weird smile playing at the corners of Zac's mouth.

The phone he had given her was not an ordinary cellphone. It had the most advanced GPS tracker in the world. As long as she was in a place reachable by satellites, he would be able to find her. Even if the phone was turned off, the data could still be transmitted.

He would never allow the whole bar thing to happen again.

Meanwhile, Essie lay on the bed. Just as she was about to go to sleep, she suddenly received a WeChat video call from Mandy.

"Let's go to the coastline tomorrow. I've entered your name for the tour," Mandy suggested.

"Aren't you on the new show these days? You must be very busy. How come you have time to go out?" Essie said. Mandy was one of the guests for the new TV show called "Running Show". Essie and Eva were even planning on visiting her on set. Among the three of them, Mandy had become the most popular one. Her career had gone smoothly, and now, she had been promoted to official host from intern anchorwoman. In addition to that, she had also been put in charge of the most popular show in Yang City, The Fake Singer.

"I haven't exercised in a long time. I'm free tomorrow, and I wanted to take this opportunity to lose some weight," Mandy said in a calm tone. The dim light masked the strange look on her face.

"All right," Essie agreed. She chatted with Mandy for a while then hung up.

On the other end of the line, Mandy had a furious look on her face.

Leila had visited her today, and shared a lot of stories with her.

Essie, that green tea bitch, dared to attack her in secret even though she was her best friend. She had to punish her tomorrow.
