Chapter 13

• Zoe left the Century Entertainment.
• When she left, there were a few co-workers who came to see her off, but most of them did this out of respect.
• After all, although she quit her job here, she wasn't leaving the industry. They might meet her again in the future.
• Having a friend was better than having an enemy!
• Zoe didn’t blame them.
• After reaching the parking lot, she put her belongings in the trunk, and drove directly towards the Anderson Group.
• Michael Anderson was an honest man and had already prepared the transferring documents and cheque.
• When Zoe arrived at the Anderson Group, Michael was in a meeting, and it was Chandler who received her.
• There were three subsidiary companies under her name. Two of them were liquidated as she had requested last night, leaving only one.
• Zoe readily signed the document and handed him her marriage arrangement paper.
• The marriage arrangement was reached between her mother and the Anderson family with carrot and stick when Zoe’s mother was still alive.
• At that time, she and Steven had just been together for a short time. They were too young to get engaged with each other then, so it was done in the traditional way.
• Half a month after signing the marriage arrangement paper, Zoe's mother died unexpectedly in a car accident.
• Zoe wondered that maybe her mother had anticipated the accident, and that was why she made the arrangements before she left.
• It was a pity that her mother's wish didn't come true. Right now, she lost not only her family, but also her fiancé.
• Thinking about it, Zoe smiled to herself with self-deprecation.
• After all the formalities were handed over, the meeting Michael was in was not over yet.
• Chandler asked her if she wanted to sit down and wait for a while to greet the chairman before leaving, but Zoe politely declined his suggestion.
• She had already gotten what she wanted, and there was no need for her to meet anyone from the Anderson family.
• After leaving the Anderson Group, it was still early.
• Zoe went to her store again, and the assistant who had returned to work stood up happily behind her desk when she saw her.
• "Sister Zoe, our business is good today! We have dozens of orders within half a day."
• Zoe smiled and encouraged her, "Good job, keep it up!"
• The shop assistant, Charlotte, was a young girl at her eighteen or nineteen. After receiving her encouragement, her excited face flushed with joy.
• Zoe picked up a white A4 sheet from her bag and posted it on the window.
• Charlotte came over to look at it with curiosity and was startled when she saw Zoe was going to transfer this store.
• "Sister Zoe, are you really going to transfer this store? Will you stop running it?"
• Zoe nodded.
• "Well, not anymore, but you can keep working here. I'll talk to the new boss personally to keep you."
• Charlotte's face changed slightly.
• In fact, Zoe had no choice but to make this decision.
• If she wanted to start her own agency, she would definitely devote all her time to it. She was afraid that she wouldn't have time to run this store.
• And even if the store was doing well, she had to transfer it considering her current situation.
• After posting the transfer notice, Zoe chatted with Charlotte for a while before leaving.
• She had nothing to do this afternoon, so she asked Victoria out and went shopping together.
• Victoria, the No. 1 beauty in the entertainment industry today, was once named by a media magazine as "a rare beauty of our time".
• She was the daughter of the chairman of the Topsun Group, and was Zoe's high school classmate. They were very close friends.
• As soon as they met, Victoria asked her and sighed twice.
• "Well, sister, as soon as I heard that you were dumped by a man, I rushed over to comfort you. But look at you; you are not sad at all!"
• Zoe was a bit surprised. “How do you know that?”
• "Well, the whole world knows that. And it’s hard for me to ignore it!"
• Victoria handed her an invitation to a birthday party. Zoe flipped it to see that it was sent by Annie and Steven.
• Zoe was speechless, but Victoria smirked and said.
• "Just tell me! When did you bump into this bitch's adulterous affair?"
• "A few days ago!"
• Zoe looked at her gloating look and was a bit depressed.
• "Well, why are you so happy after I am dumped by someone?"
• "Of course I'm glad you've been dumped! Steven is simply a dreg in society! It is good to break up with this kind of person, saving you from the foolishness of the past years."
• Zoe remained silent.
• Victoria always disliked Steven, and Zoe knew it for a long time.
• When Victoria first found out they were together, she had advised her a few times.
• However, women in love were blind. Zoe was enthusiastically in love and wouldn’t believe a word from her mouth.
• Now it seemed what she said was true.
• Zoe smiled sardonically and didn't say anything.
• They went shopping at a nearby mall.
• Just then, a black Rolls Royce passed by, and Jack caught a glimpse of the two who were walking inside the mall and said in surprise.
• "Well? Isn't that Miss Zoe?"
• Henry lifted his gaze, which was focusing on the documents, to the direction where Jack pointed, and paused slightly.
• "Stop the car!"
• Zoe and Victoria were wandering around for a long time and finally entered a women's fashion store.
• It was a luxury store with an elegant interior decoration and a clean, luxurious smell in a light, cool palette.
• Victoria had ordered a long dress earlier and came over to pick it up today.
• The shop assistant knew her, and after greeting her, she took her to the VIP room on the second floor to try the dress on, so that they could modify it if it didn’t fit.
• Victoria greeted Zoe before she left, "Zoe, just wait for me for a while. I'll come down soon."
• Zoe nodded.
• After Victoria went up, Zoe was bored waiting and simply wandered around the store.
• It was Monday and there weren't many customers in the store.
• The sales assistants were buried in conversation or playing with their phones, and no one came to serve her.
• Zoe didn't care, and after browsing around, she saw a dark blue dress hanging in the window with a uniquely nice style, a bit like a certain French designer's works she'd seen in a magazine before.
• She had always taken a fancy to that designer’s works, and was kind of a big fan of him, so she couldn't resist reaching out her hands to touch it.
• "Hey! It's okay to look around, but don't touch it. You can't afford it if you damage it."
• A woman's voice suddenly came from behind her.
• Zoe froze and turned around to see a young sales assistant standing there, glancing at her with displeasure and disgust.
• She frowned slightly.
• "Don't you hang your clothes out for your customers to try on? How come I can't touch it?"
• The sales assistant sneered, "It's okay for the others to touch, but not you."
• "Why?"
• The sales assistant rolled her eyes, seemingly annoyed with her for making a fool of herself.
• "Do you know how much this dress costs? And how much you can earn as an assistant? Your salary in a year wouldn't be enough to buy it, do you know?"
• The sales assistant came up and snatched the fabric out of her hand. Then she pushed the rack full of dresses to the other side while saying this.
• She grumbled, "I am tired of you hanging around and not buying anything. What's the point of shopping if you can't afford it? It's so annoying!"
• Zoe was exasperated.
• It wasn't the first time that she had been out shopping with Victoria, but it was the first time she was treated as her assistant.
