shawn was such an idiot to even think about asking Zayn. Didn't he realize he was pushing her into a comer?

Nadine gritted bet teeth. "Shawn, we're in this together now. If this mess gets exposed, do you have any idea how much trouble you'd be in?"

shawn panicked. "If Mr. Forbes replaces out about what you did, it won't end well for you either."

Nadine chuckled. "Do you think you can compare to me? I'm Zayn's woman Who the hell are you? If anything happens, Zayn will probably just scold me, but you? You'll wish you were never bom" Shawn hissed, "You-"

Seeing that she had pushed Shawn to his limit, Nadine softened her tone, trying to coax him, "Okay, okay, I'm not out to get

By the time Zayn returned, Shawn had already taken care of the sho

Nadine felt a wave of relief now that everything was settled. She took the plastic bag from Zayn and said softly, "Thank you, Zayn."

Zayn shot her a sharp glance. "Have you thought it through?"

Nadine smiled. "I remember now, Zayn. I must have left the shoes at the checkout while I was shopping. Let's go check later."

Zayn tugged at his tie and let out a cold laugh. There was no way the cashier could have missed the large shoebox, even if she didn't notice. It was a temble excuse, and he knew it.

He never believed the shoes were lost. He just couldn't be bothered to dig deeper. Dealing disliked how attached Josephine was to it.

It only irritated him more to see how much she cared about it. Thus, he was fine with letting the shoes disappear.

He just didn't expect it to cause so much trouble.

Zayn tossed his tie onto the couch and leaned back, folding his arms. "Aside from getting the shoes back, Mrs. Shaw has one more request." Nadine walked over nervously and sat beside him. "What is it?" Zayn indifferently said, "She was to kneel and apologize at the entrance of her villa

"Kneel?" Nadine's face paled in shock "Zayn, did you agree to it?

Zayn raised an eyebrow. "Do I have a choice? Do you want to quit the entertainment industry?"

"L" Nadine hesitated. Of course, she didn't want to quit,

Yet, she couldn't believe that Zayn didn't have other options. He just wasn't willing to put in the effort for her

Knowing Zayn wasn't one to resort to forceful tactics, she forced a smile and said, "If kneeling is what it takes, I'll do it. I'll do anything to make you happy. I'll leel for a whole day if you want." Upon hearing that, Zayn's hard demeanor softened. "Don't worry.

Nadine snuggled into his arms and whispered, "As long as you make a small space in your heart for me, and remember me every now and then, that's enough." Zayn smirked and said nothing more. Nadine pressed against him, trying to seduce him. However, no matter how much she tried, Zayn's gaze remained fixed on his phone.

She bit her lip in frustration. Despite Josephine and Zayn's relationship deteriorating, she felt that he seemed to be drifting further away from her as well
