When Zachary got off work yesterday, he brought home some documents from the marketing department. With some free time on his hands now, he decided to review them.
During the three hours he spent on the documents, Molly came in twice. The first time, she brought him a ss of warm water.
The second time, she brought in a fruit tter.
For dinner, she prepared roasted chicken along with some side dishes. The
dishes she prepared were all nicely seasoned.
As they ate, Zachary struck up some small talk with her.
In their conversation, he learned that Molly was majoring in acting at the University of Film and Media.
Molly exined that her life n was to start as a social media influencer. She thought it was an easy field to get into and would bring in money quickly.
Once she built an online following, she nned to transition into the entertainment industry.
Hearing her ns to enter the entertainment industry, Zachary immediately told her the truth behind the industry.
In short, he told her it was a toxic environment. An innocent girl like her would definitely suffer in it.
Seeing how strongly Zachary opposed the idea, Molly quickly decided to let go of her n.
"Then, I won''t go into the entertainment industry. How about the film industry? I''m willing to work hard and take on small roles. As long as I keep at it for ten years, I believe I can make money from acting!" she replied.
"The film industry has its challenges too, but it''s a lot cleanerpared to the entertainment industry. As long as you don''t go down the wrong path, I think it''s worth a try," he advised.
Zachary offered her a rational analysis.
Hearing this, Molly nodded and promised she would neverpromise her integrity.
But as soon as she made her promise, she was reminded of her current rtionship with Zachary. Her face flushed with embarrassment at that thought.
Zachary realized the same thing too. He cleared his throat and said, "Alright, let''s eat."
"Okay," Molly replied softly, ending the conversation.
...
When Zachary had first rented this apartment, he hadn''t noticed any issues.
But now, he saw a major w in itsyout.
Normally, a two-bedroom apartment had either one or two bathrooms.
If there were two, one would be in the master bedroom and the other near the living room or kitchen.
However, this apartment only had one bathroom. To make things worse, it was located inside the master bedroom.
This meant that Molly had to pass through his room whenever she needed to use the bathroom or to take a shower.
"I was too careless. No wonder the agent mentioned it was a one-bedroom apartment. I thought she made a mistake. Turns out that I was the one who overlooked such an important detail," Zach thought to himself, speechless at his own. carelessness.
Since it was summer, they had to shower daily.
After all the shopping and running around today, the two were drenched in sweat.
Zachary turned on the air conditioning in the room.
After he finished his shower, Molly went into the bathroom immediately.
Perhaps it was the exhaustion from
the long day, but as soon as

almost instantly.
In the middle of the night, he woke up to use the bathroom.
When he climbed back into bed, he was startled to find Molly in his bed. He had
no idea when she had ended up there.
She slept soundly, her breathing steady. There was a slight arc at the corner of her lips as though she was smiling.

He felt conflicted for a few minutes.
But before he could decide what to do, he drifted back to sleep.
The next morning, Zachary rolled over and heard a soft moan near his ear.
"Mm..."
He opened his eyes in surprise.
The first thing he saw was Molly''s innocent, blushing face.
"Zac!" she called sweetly when she saw he was awake.
Then, looking a bit embarrassed, she added, "I''m sorry, Zac. Did I wake you?"
Zachary was about to say no, but his expression suddenly shifted.
"Why aren''t you wearing anything?" he asked in shock.
