Please Come Back, Honey!

Chapter 165

Meanwhile, the discussion among Wesley's fans could be seen in the comment section below the post. While Wesley's sickly look suggested that he might be ill, they all thought he must have had a tough time recently. Therefore, they all reckoned the lady who stayed with him must be truly in love with him. For that, they all decided that they should ease up on their idol's mysterious girlfriend as she stayed and went through a hard time with him.

In fact, the last time Wesley was caught together with Emma was when he visited her mother in the hospital earlier, but ever since then, no one else had seen them together as Wesley had been in his hometown previously. Thus, many fans began to cast doubts on their idol's relationship, which they thought was going to be a fling that wouldn't last long. However, now that Emma was caught by the paparazzi to be visiting Wesley's house at night with his cat, it indirectly confirmed her identity as his girlfriend. After all, the fact that the lady was entrusted with Wesley's cat was a sign that added to the convincing confirmation.

As soon as the video was published, it went viral and became one of the top searches on the internet. Although Wesley was slowly shifting his focus to off-screen positions, it would appear that he was not any less popular than those young male celebrities.

At the same time, the video was met with a mixture of positive and negative responses from the fans. While there were those who were happy that Wesley could find a girlfriend for himself, some didn't share the joy, just like Zola, who was overwhelmed by her jealousy upon watching the video. In fact, when the pictures of Emma visiting her mother in the hospital went viral, Zola remembered the former's face and was able to quickly recognize her in the video. For that, her mood was ruined as she vented out her anger by hurling anything she got her hands on across the living room.

This is not how it should end! Not the way it should end! Emma is only just a few years younger than I am. She is merely a tiny bit prettier than I am. What's so good about her other than that? How come Emma gets all the attention even though I have known him longer than she does?! To Zola, she didn't mind if Wesley remained a bachelor, finding peace in the fact that no other lady had the man's heart, anyway. Deep down, she even thought that the man would likely end up being single for the rest of his life since he was already 40 years old. Because of that, she chose to accompany him by staying single, only to be disappointed by the official announcement of his relationship with Emma. While the news was not exactly an official announcement from Wesley, Zola considered it otherwise because the man didn't deny it after he was caught visiting Emma's mother with her in the hospital. For that, Zola had cried more times than she could count and eventually made up her mind to leave Alpha Productions in an attempt to draw Wesley's attention and make him keep her.

When Wesley learned about her intention to leave, he was surprised and asked to have a word with her about it in private after his return in a few days. Upon hearing the man's reply, Zola was over the moon, thinking that was a sign of concern that the man was showing her. However, her happiness was short-lived when the news about Emma visiting Wesley's residence that night came like a bolt in the blue. After all, she had arranged for facial treatments and made appointments for manicure therapy in order to make herself look prettier and younger when she met Wesley. "Why?! Why is this happening to me?!" Zola angrily snarled and growled like a beast in her house. On the other hand, her assistant, Becky Jensen, was doing some research for her, pretending as if she didn't hear the jarring screaming.

In fact, Zola already had a deal with Crystal, who wanted her to come up with a script similar to Emma's 'The Love Story of Imperial Consort Rose'. Besides that, Crystal also told her to get her script done as soon as possible so that the drama could be released around the same time as Emma's drama to see if they could outperform her work. Nevertheless, when Crystal got her hands on Emma's script and gave it to Zola to plagiarize, she refused to do that, thinking she had no problem writing a story that centered around an ancient female protagonist. Thinking she could produce a better script than Emma did, Zola decided to prove her worth by requesting Crystal to let her write a different story, to which the latter agreed. However, if Zola's drama failed to receive a higher rating than Emma's, she would have to pay a sum of money as the ultimate price.

While the deal between Zola and Crystal was nothing much too different from a dangerous bet, Becky advised Zola to take precautions about that. After all, Zola seemed to struggle to keep up her good work ever since she managed to create a big hit with that one and only drama she produced. Therefore, her assistant was worried that Zola would find herself on the losing end should her drama fail to outperform Emma's. Nonetheless, Zola was blinded by her rage about the ostensible relationship between Wesley and Emma as she even pledged her mansion, which was her biggest asset, for the deal, yet she let Becky do all the research as soon as she accepted the deal, completely ignoring all preparation at the beginning of the project. Needless to say, Becky was left unhappy by her boss' irresponsibility but decided to bury herself in work and pretended that she didn't hear Zola's frustrated screaming.

On the other hand, there was another person who also shared Zola's bad mood—Trevor. When he read the comments about how much Emma was in love with Wesley, he got so angry that he nearly hurled Zachary's phone across the lounge. Nevertheless, Zachary quickly snatched his phone back from his angry friend and said, "Calm down, okay? Just keep a cool head."

At that moment, Trevor felt as if the whole world had crumbled around him because he didn't think Emma would visit Wesley so late at night after he told her to take care of her messy relationship with the celebrity. Did I make the wrong move, or is she really in love with Wesley? At the thought of that, the man covered his face with his palm, weakly leaning back on the couch while speaking with a disheartened voice. "Do I really have to give my life in exchange for her forgiveness?"

Scared by his friend's words, Zachary immediately became serious and asked, "Seriously, Trevor? You want to die because of that?"
