She Got A Better Man

Chapter 236

Elvira woke up feeling rested, with Zach lying beside her. Having him nearby made her sleep more soundly. As soon as she woke up, she grabbed her phone to check the latest news. As expected, the scandal involving Morris and Cheryl had exploded overnight, becoming the focal point of public attention. This, in turn, had brought Elvira's new TV series into the spotlight, making it more famous than ever-though mostly for all the wrong reasons. But negative attention was still attention. And attention meant success.

Elvira was satisfied with how things were unfolding. After putting down her phone, she decided to get a bit more sleep. She wanted the storm of online gossip to continue brewing while she took her time. There would be plenty of work to do once she woke up. Zach reached over and pulled her into his arms again. "Isn't it time to wrap things up today?" he asked.

"Yes, honey. I'll need you to help me out, especially when it comes to the security details. I'll rely on you for all of that." She made sure Zach knew he had a role in all of this, that he wasn't just a bystander.

Zach loved how Elvira, even when she could handle everything on her own, still leaned on him for help sometimes. There was something about that softness that drove him wild, and before he could help himself, he kissed her gently.

Elvira shifted in his arms and kissed him back, and the two spent a few more minutes playfully tangled in the sheets before getting up.

Zach made them both spagetti. Elvira ate eagerly, savoring the moment. Over the past few days, she had received a lot of calls from concerned friends. Even Rowena had called, though Elvira didn't even bother to answer the unfamiliar number. As soon as she heard Rowena's voice, she hung up. She wanted nothing to do with Rowena anymore.

Another unknown number rang through, and Elvira answered, curious to see who it was. To her surprise, it was her father's voice on the other end. "Elvira, I wonder what can you accomplish? Look at what you've done-following Judy's lead in making movies, and now this whole mess is all over the place. Even Mr. Gilbert's money going down the drain in it. Can't you just lay low for once?" Vincent scolded.

"Mr. Willis, you've got a real knack for surprise calls," Elvira replied, her tone light. She was in a good mood today, and hearing Vincent's voice didn't grate on her as much as usual.

Knowing Vincent had been cheated on for twenty years, supporting another man's daughter all that time, and now treating that child from his wife's affair as precious, made Elvira more lenient towards him.

"What? Did you hear
