Wendy had just finished making music sheet notes on her program when Danielle called her.


    "Miss Larson, could you pleasee to the studio?"


    "Why?"


    "Miss Kaylee was supposed to meet some clients, but..."


    "But what?"


    "She decided not to assist them and locked herself on the fifth floor."


    "What?? Why would she do that?"


    "I don''t know, miss. But she had swollen eyes when she arrived. I think something bad happened to her."


    "Okay, I''ll be right there."


    Not long after, Wendy arrived at the studio and met the clients, who were supposed to have an appointment with Kaylee. Wendy tried to be patient when the first words that came out were theirints about her tardiness.


    "Why are you sote? So unprofessional."


    "Where is Roe?"


    "I want to talk to Roe."


    Wendy showed a professional smile and exined that she would provide their wishes regarding the music they wanted to have for the day.


    At first, they didn''t like her, but after persuasion from Wendy and Dani, they finally agreed.


    Unfortunately, they are incredibly chatty, and they rejected anything Wendy proposes and arranges. It was as if they would never be satisfied with the kind of music Wendy had to offer.


    "Dani, are they unbelievably annoying like this?" Wendy asked Danielle in a whispered voice, feeling suspicious these people were deliberately giving her a hard time because they didn''t want her to serve them.


    "Yes, miss. They behave the same way towards the young miss."


    "And Kaylee can stand them?"


    Danielle smiled softly at that. "You know, her patience is god-like level."


    That''s why the one who often meets clients and listens to what clients want is Kaylee. The girl was a good listener and had a higher level of patience than Wendy.


    Wendy couldn''t be patient with a client who wants and acts at will, so she chose to program mixed music on herputer.


    Wendy stroked her temples, trying her best not to explode. These people were musicians in charge of famous film production. They were very talkative, but they were Kaylee''s regrs and the biggest ''assets.''


    Therefore, the poor impatient girl could only seal her mouth tightly while trying to catch any words thate out of her best friend''s clients'' mouths. But… it felt like she was a toddler and couldn''t grasp what they were saying as they spoke as fast as a rocket.


    After suffering for what seemed like hours, their meeting time finally ran out. Wendy couldn''t wait to go to the fifth floor to check on her best friend''s condition.


    There was a restroom with a small but big enough for Kaylee to sleep in inside her workroom. Wendy entered the workroom and kept walking before opened the smaller room, only to see Kaylee lying on her bed with her back facing her.


    "Kaylee, how are you feeling?"


    Kaylee quickly rubbed her wetted cheeks before finally getting up to meet her best friend. She didn''t want to cry, but tears kepting out, thinking about the scene where Den touched another girl… a girl much younger and beautiful than her.


    "I feel fine," she answered with a dropped head. She didn''t want her best friend to see her grieved expression.


    "I feel fine is not the right words."


    "Why? People can say, ''I feel fine.'' Everybody said it."


    "Yes, it''s true. But I know that''s not your real feelings."


    Kaylee was silent without giving any furtherment. Realizing that her best friend looked so depressed and didn''t want to lift her head, Wendy walked over to her and sat next to her best friend.


    "Did something happen on campus?" Wendy remembered Kaylee going on a date with Den with a cheerful heart. By the time the love-struck girl came home and called her, Kaylee sounded very happy and satisfied with their date.


    But suddenly, this girl became gloomy and sad after returning from campus. Wendy could only guess that something unpleasant had happened on campus.


    "It''s nothing. I want to be alone. Please." Kayleeid down and positioned herself facing the wall while her back was facing her friend.


    Even though Kaylee had stated her desire to be alone, Wendy could not leave her. She put a hand on Kaylee''s arm and gave her a soft pat like a mother who wasforting her saddening daughter.


    The two of them remained in that position in silence. Although usually, they would continue to chat endlessly while gossiping happily, this silence still made themfortable.


    Not long after, a ringing sound from Kaylee''s phone rang. It seemed that the gloomy girl didn''t care if anyone called her or not, so it was Wendy who grabbed the girl''s phone to see who had contacted Kaylee.


    "It''s Mister ck." Wendy tried to provoke the girl''s reaction by saying Den''s name.


    Kaylee''s reaction made Wendy stunned because now the girl pulled the pillow and covered her ears as if rejecting any sound about reaching her.


    Wait a minute. Why did Kaylee react like this, knowing that Den had contacted her? Did they have a fight?


    Is that why Kaylee locked herself up here?


    Wendy decided to let Kaylee rest without interruption. Therefore, she activated silent mode on Kaylee''s phone.


    At the same time, Den kept trying to contact Kaylee while standing leaning on his car in front of Kaylee''s studio building. His eyes were fixed on the fifth-floor window as if hoping he would see the face he yearned, but he knew… that girl would not appear, considering the girl didn''t pick up his call all day.


    "Kaylee, why didn''t you pick up my call?" Den exhaled his heavy sigh while shaking his head.


    "Mister ck. It seemed someone already fired that man." reported one of his men after finding out about the existence of the stalker who has long worked in this studio.


    "Who fired him?"


    "It''s Miss Larson."


    Den was silent for a while and gave credit to Wendy Larson.


    "Track him down and keep an eye on him. Let me know if he approaches Kaylee." a maniac stalker like that man wouldn''t stop just he got fired.


    "Yes, sir."


    Den took a deep breath for the umpteenth time while looking at the fifth-floor window before deciding to return home.


    Arriving at his apartment building, he saw the figure of a girl sitting in the apartment''s lobby. The girl approached and greeted him with her best smile.


    "Den, I''ve been waiting for you for a long time."


    Den didn''t expect this girl toe, but he still weed her in a friendly manner. "You could call me if you came to visit."


    "I already called you many times, but you didn''t pick my call."


    It is true. Den didn''t pick it up on purpose because he preferred to reach out to his wife.


    "What''s the asion?"


    "Be my date for tonight''s party. The Reeves sibling is having a party tonight and inviting everyone toe."


    "I''m sorry, Louisa. But I can''t be your date. You can ask Axel for help, who I''m sure he will be happy to help you."


    "Why? I know you have free time tonight."


    "I''m engaged. I''m sure you already know that."


    "So? Are you afraid she will get jealous? Aren''t we just friends? I''ll help you exin it to her." coaxed Louisa in a sweet voice that could melt everyman but Den.


    The only girl who could melt his heart and stole his breath was Kaylee, and it will be her only.


    "I remember Maximillian Reeves also invited me. I think I''lle with my wife."


    If only Den hadn''t stood face to face with her and could see her expression, Louisa would have put on such a terrible face that it would make everyone who saw her feel afraid of her.


    What does this Kaylee Zouch like? Why can this girl wrap her finger around this man?


    Before the girl''s appearance, Louisa felt that she was the only girl who could approach the cold, unapproachable Den.


    Whenever Mrs. ck arranged a blind date for Den, the man would sometimes call her to act as a fake lover to make his date go and wouldn''t bother him.


    Den called her often, and almost every night they met… even though their meeting was never alone because Den always contacted Axrd, at least she was the only girl he was looking for.


    But… since the appearance of that unknown girl, Den rarely contacted her or asked her to meet.


    At first, she thought she still had plenty of time to win over him, but who would have thought… the news of Den''s engagement to the Zouch family''s only daughter spread like wildfire.


    Louisa had repeatedly searched for this famous Kaylee Zouch but could not find anything about her.


    There were no photos, biographies, or the slightest news about Zouch''s only daughter.


    Even when she held a high society gathering and indirectly invited Kaylee Zouch so that the girl wouldn''te to Mister Old ck''s birthday, that girl didn''te to the show!


    Her family was not in business with the ck corp, so the ck didn''t invite her, yet they invited the Zouch family. Louisa tried everything to lure Kaylee Zouch out of the ck range. She thought Kaylee would choose toe to the gathering instead of to the same boring birthday party of Mister Old ck.


    Apparently… Kaylee Zouch was not someone who was easily tricked by high-ss social events. She would instead be engaged to Den ck than join her society club.


    What a cunning bitch!


    Little did she know, Kaylee never fond of high-ss society clubs and preferred to stay low.
