In the stillness of the night, a black Cayenne discreetly pulled into the underground parking lot of the

hotel where the film crew of Cloudwater City was staying.

The driver stopped the car. Catching sight of the resting Zachary in the rearview mirror, he informed, "Mr. Fuller, we've arrived." "Mm-hmm."

Zachary responded with his eyes closed, and then there was silence, as if he had fallen asleep.

The driver, overwhelmed by the strong scent of alcohol in the car, hesitated, unsure whether to continue reminding Zachary.

Two minutes had passed, and Zachary began to move in the back seat.

His eyes squinted into a slit, his hand randomly searching his body a couple of times. He then pulled out his phone from the inner pocket of his suit. After tapping on it a few times, a dial tone echoed from the device. Quickly, the call was answered. The voice on the other end was tired but couldn't hide its surprise. "Zack?"

"I'm at the ground floor of your hotel,"

After Zachary sent over a bodyguard, Susanna realized that if Zachary no longer indulged her, she wouldn't be able to see Zachary at all if he didn't want to see her.

Her previous method was no longer effective. She had no choice but to pretend she was fine and continue filming, biding her time.

Unexpectedly, on the second day of joining the film crew, Zachary sought her out in the middle of the night.

Susanna was overjoyed, her fatigue instantly evaporating. "I'm coming down to see you right away!"

She quickly got up from her bed, intending to change her clothes. But then, as if struck by a sudden thought, she walked over to the mirror and studied herself carefully.

Her chest-length hair was messy, a clear sign of just waking up. Her eyes were still half-closed, her expression sleepy. She was clad in a floral strappy nightgown, the hem of which was quite short, reaching only to her thighs in teasing allure. After some thought, she applied a simple coat of lipstick to her lips. She rummaged through her wardrobe and put on a short jacket. Grabbing her room key, she beaded straight out the door. "Zack!"

In the quiet underground parking lot, Susanna's shout was particularly clear.

Zachary glanced outside through the car window before opening the door and stepping out.

"Why didn't you come up?" Susanna approached him, eyes alight with joy, yet she dared not get too close.
