[PRESENT TIME]
Before Zoey could reach the VIP Lounge, she halted as soon as she felt the vibration inside her purse. Without a second hesitation, she took her phone out and glanced at the phone screen.
"Hey darling~!" Zoey answered, her tone from earlier changed drastically as the side of her lips stretched from ear to ear.
"Not home yet?" From the other side of the line, Matthew's ever inexpressive tone caused Zoey to chuckle.
"I'm at The Palace. It's a nightclub." Zoey informed, not feeling the need to lie about her whereabouts.
However, before Zoey could explain, she immediately sensed the sudden shift of mood. Even from 'miles' away, Zoey knew Matthew was displeased.
"I trust you, love." Matthew replied after the long stifling silence.
"Hey, are you trying to guilt trip me?" Zoey humored, shaking her head as the 'young' Matthew surely gets jealous easily.
