Chapter 92

Zoey had no idea how long they'd been making out, but she was seriously running out of air. She pushed Henry away. "Mr. Windsor, this is the lounge. What if someone walks in?"

By now, her clothes were all messed up, and Henry's hand was already working on her bra clasp.

Henry's eyes were intense. "I heard Bobby kidnapped James because someone told him James is your lover?"

Zoey was taken aback but quickly realized why Henry had been so worked up while kissing her.

Her lips were numb from his rough kisses.

"Mr. Windsor, are you jealous? It's just a misunderstanding. James and I are nothing."

Zoey laughed, suddenly finding Henry not so intimidating.

She calmly explained to Henry.

Henry knew Zoey and James had nothing going on, but seeing James still made him uneasy.

"Stay away from him from now on." It meant Henry admitted he was jealous.

Zoey couldn't help but lean in and kiss him. "Alright."

Seeing her agree so easily, Henry's expression softened.

He knew this was the lounge and it wasn't the best place.

So he helped Zoey fix her clothes and whispered in her ear, "Tonight, after Gabriel and Travis are asleep, come stay with me."

Zoey got the message.

Even though they'd already been intimate, Zoey's cheeks still turned pink.

Seeing her look down, blushing, Henry found her adorable. He lifted her chin and kissed her soft, red lips again.

After half an hour, Henry finally let her go.

Zoey leaned against his solid chest, trying to catch her breath, while Henry held her soft hand, not wanting to let go.

"Put on the ruby bracelet I got you. When I saw it, I thought it would look perfect on you."

Henry looked at her beautiful hand and thought of the ruby bracelet he'd bought.

Zoey remembered she had something to tell him.

"Mr. Windsor, if you give me gifts in the future, don't buy anything designed by Cindy."

Henry frowned. "Isn't she a famous designer? Did you have a fight with her? Did she bully you?"

Even though Henry knew Zoey was skilled in combat, he still worried she might get bullied.

Zoey quickly denied it, "No, I just wanted to tell you that I am that designer. While I'm happy you like my designs, the money was kind of wasted."

Henry was stunned, then smiled at her. "Zoe, how many secrets are you keeping from me?"

Zoey just blinked, her eyes full of mystery. "Mr. Windsor, no rush; you'll find out in time."

Even though she left him hanging, Henry wasn't mad.

He just held Zoey close and kissed her. "Alright, I'll take my time. We've got all the time in the world."

His words hinted that they'd be spending their lives together.

Zoey thought it was a long shot, but she couldn't help but wonder if it might actually happen.

After a bit, Zoey had to head to the recording studio, so she asked Henry to hang out in the lounge while she was gone.

The producer saw Zoey come out of the lounge alone, his eyes flickered, and then he quickly sent a message on his phone. When he got a reply, a smug smile spread across his face.

Two hours later, the crew wrapped up their work. The producer approached Zoey with a big grin. "Ms. Cavendish, thanks for your hard work today. I've booked a private room at the Majestic Peaks Hotel. They've got a lot of fresh seafood today, especially lobsters. You and Mr. Windsor should join us."

Zoey wasn't keen on going at first, but when she heard about the seafood, especially her favorite lobsters, she hesitated.

Plus, she hadn't been on set for a while. Even though the crew didn't mind because of Henry, she still felt a bit guilty.

So she told the producer she needed to check with Henry first.

She wasn't sure if Henry was free that evening, so she couldn't decide for him.

The producer nodded eagerly. "Alright."

Zoey then went to the lounge to talk to Henry about it.

"You want to go?"

Henry immediately saw through Zoey's thoughts.

Zoey admitted, "Yeah, it's not just about the food. I haven't spent much time with the crew, so I feel a bit guilty. The film is almost done, and we might work together again in the future. I don't want to have a cold relationship with the crew."

Zoey had other plans in mind, but she intended to discuss them after the film was completed.

Henry nodded. "Then I'll go with you. I'll call Lally to have her bring dinner to Claire, Gabriel, and Travis, so you don't have to worry about them."

Zoey happily hugged Henry and kissed him. "Mr. Windsor, you're so good to me. I don't know how to repay you."

"Repaying me is easy."

Henry put his arm around Zoey. "You'll have the chance to repay me tonight."

Zoey glared at him playfully but didn't say anything to refute it.

Henry smiled and left the lounge with Zoey in a good mood.

The producer relaxed when he saw them come out.

After all, the main focus of tonight's dinner was Henry. If he didn't go, nothing could be accomplished.

Emma asked the producer to leave and didn't join their dinner, saying she needed to go back early to prepare for tomorrow's important scene. The producer agreed.

Her assistant held back but finally couldn't help asking Emma in the van, "Emma, it's just a dinner. Do you really need to avoid it?"

"Avoiding unnecessary gatherings can prevent a lot of trouble."

Emma said this and then closed her eyes to rest, leaving her assistant to sulk alone.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Zoey noticed Emma wasn't there. "Isn't Emma coming?" 

Beckett told her, "Emma said she wanted to go back early to prepare for tomorrow's important scene."

Zoey nodded, her impression of Emma improving.
