Annie was in the room. She closed the door and checked the two windows. She laid down on the sofa, talking to the system:
“Hey, hey, tell me, what was that announcement?” If you don’t give me the answer, I’ll quit.”
The screen lighted up, a message appeared on the phone:
[Wait, wait, I can explain…]
A few hours ago…
Before manager Michael came, Annie was still sitting in the room, talking to the system.
[Hello lovely Annie, you have 1079 days 25887 hours 1553220 minutes 93193200 seconds to complete the task. Try your best! Good luck!]
Annie was about to ask when manager Micheal came, she had to start her meeting in confusion about the announcement.
“Hey! Hurry ap! I’m so curious right now! I can’t wait anymore…”
[It's like this... your mission has a limited time. If the task is not completed on time, you will fail. The time limit is three years.]
Annie was very angry, she continued to poke the screen: "Tell me, why don’t you announce me sooner?”
[I’m so sorry, that’s just a system error, so I forgot about that…]
[Hm… to be honest, there is one more announcement, do you want to hear?]- the system continued. It seemed not to care about her anger.
“Of course!”-she patiently said.
This time, she received the announcement very quickly.
[Actually... her time in each world will change in a decreasing direction.]
“More details!”- she said.
[In the first world, you have three years to complete your task, but as time flies, the limited time in other worlds will decrease. When time runs to zero, you can return home.]
“So…., the limited time to complete my mission will decrease over time?"- Annie thought for a while.
[That’s it!]-said the system.
“If only you said to me sooner…”
[Alright! I said I’m sorry, it’s my fault, Ok… I promise I will report to you on time! And…to compensate, I'll give you a five-star lucky bag.]
“Five-star lucky bag? Why is the name so weird?”
[Alright! Be quiet and listen to me!]- Being a professional system, it had to explain clearly.
[The five-star lucky bag is a gift for the host when he/she passes the first five worlds. There are five bags in total, given the host throughout the world. You're still in the first world, you shouldn't have received this benefit bag, but I made a fault… so you deserve it.]
"Okay, then I'll accept this as a bribe."- said Annie.
[Ting ting- the five-star lucky bag has been delivered- please check your bag and choose the thing you want!]- New notifications are displayed on the phone.
[Now, choose the item you want! The five-star lucky bag will satisfy them all!]
Annie thought for a while and then decided to choose money:
“Money, I want to have money!”
[Are you sure?]- said the system.
“Hm… yes”
Immediately, a new message appeared on the phone screen.
[Ting ting- your request was fulfilled, thank you for using the five-star lucky bag service. Hope to see you soon! Good luck and bye!].
Annie was staring at the phone, waiting for an explanation from the system. But she wasted her time waiting, the system had no intention of explaining it to her. Finally, she gave up and decided to ask first:“Hey, tell me how can I use that five-star lucky bag? I’m so curious right now!”[The amount of money that the five-star lucky bag provides will be enough for you to live for the rest of your life, so you don’t need to worry about that! Understand?]- said the system.“Yah! I got it.”Annie sat on the sofa thinking about something, at the same time, assistant Steve brought her some necessary documents. So, now she turned her attention to the documents.“Micheal manager is not a normal person, he has outstanding ability and long experience in this industry. And I’ve heard a rumor that people used to think that he couldn’t be successful in Vinwind.”- Steve said.Annie: “Do you know exactly when it was?”Steve: “Three years ago.”“I think his career can’t grow so rapidly like that, t
“Bella, what do you mean by looking at me like that?”- said Nancy. It turns out, that Annie was looking at her with cold eyes which scared her a bit. "Uhm... Alright! Forget that! I'm just worried for you... your dress is dirty and... I'm so sorry for that!" "Never mind! That's my dress and I don't need your care. I mean... people like you who always try to harm others."- said Annie. "What...what do you mean? You mean that I intentionally poured water on your dress?"- Nancy was a little panicked. "Nothing, I just wanted to remind you of something."- Annie smiled. There were many people gathered around, they pointed and talked about them. The way that Annie looked at Nancy, really scared her. "Bella! Bella!"-said, Dustin. His panicked voice startled Annie. "I'm here. What's wrong with you?" "Nothing... I'm just... what happens to your dress?" "Yeah... Don't worry about that! There is a lady who intentionally poured wine on me." "Who did?"- asked Dustin. He took off his coat
Then, he looked at Annie again: "Mrs.Bella, it's our fault, I hope you can forgive us."“This time?”- Annie glanced at the woman standing behind Micheal and smiled."Of course, this time and right here, I won't blame you. You know, I've always been generous!”“But I’m not sure about the future…”- she continued."Thank you, Bella."-Micheal let out a breath. Annie didn’t want to be here anymore, this party should be ended here. She looked for her husband, then walked towards him with a smile: "Honey, let's go home."Dustin looked at her expression, he could feel something wrong but he didn't know what to say…Annie and Dustin quickly got out of the palace. Before leaving, she did not forget to look at Nancy with provocation.You will never have Dustin. He is my husband and holding my divorce petition! Nancy was so angry at the same time… she believed she could take revenge on Bella.…Annie was sitting in the car, holding the phone, not paying attention to the surroundings. “Are you
Annie hasn't come home for 2 weeks, Dustin was very worried for her. Sometimes she didn’t come home or even came back very late. She even went straight upstairs, not even looking at his face. He felt extremely uncomfortable and angry. He also hired a stalker but it didn’t work, he couldn’t find anything strange because Annie only went to the office and shopping mall every day.He sometimes suspected his wife of adultery…But he didn’t know that man…The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, but he couldn't force himself to think differently.Dustin sat in the meeting room but his soul flew away. He was unable to hear what the people in the room said. Even when the assistant called, he couldn't pay attention to the meeting. It wasn't until the phone rang that he was startled, quickly grabbed the phone, and rushed out. When the assistant saw his boss like that, he could only sigh. Dustin cared so much about his wife, but always pretended that he would never love her…Rich people
Annie was sitting in the car, Assistant Steve was holding a tablet, watching the video that has just been received. Then he said: “Bella, why don't you expose them? Why do you have to take so much time to find out…”“You know… everything has its price.”-she said.The car continued to run...But right after that, Annie was attracted by the flickering light. Despite Steve's confusion, she quickly pulled over the car to the side of the road. “Wait for me here!."…In the alley, there was a man lying on the dirty ground, his body and clothes emitting a strange smell. A broken camera lay on the cold ground nearby and broken glass was scattered everywhere, reflecting faint rays of light from outside, hitting the wall and the man's face. A girl slowly walked in. She did not show her face. The atmosphere around is very gloomy. “Hey… don't be so sneaky! If you want to take photos, why don’t you take them directly?” Annie stepped on broken pieces of glass, and the crackling sound resounded.
Annie made an appointment with Justin at the restaurant where she saw him with his other lovely girlfriend.“You want to tell me something?”- he gasped.Annie has just ordered some dishes. “I don’t need a reason to meet you. I just miss my boy.”-she smiled.Justin was a bit surprised: "Bella, you've never been like this before... Is something wrong?" Annie was startled, her movements suddenly stiffened.She has no memory of Bella, so she couldn’t know exactly how the real Bella treats people, the system hasn’t mentioned it either…This time…If this guy could see that she was acting, that would be a mess.Annie tried to be calm, putting the cup of tea on the table and smiled: "Is there anything different? Shouldn't girls be more open and attractive? Don't you like me like this?”"No... not really." Justin was startled: "It’s just... not very familiar...""Yeah, that’s okay… You'll get used to it soon."-she said."So the purpose of our date today is just... to see me?" Looking at he
Fifteen minutes later…Annie was listening to the voice coming from the phone.“He used me as bait, wanting to lure you into the trap he laid out…”“Dustin said he chose me because I look like your ideal type.”“He wants to destroy your career…”Annie had this record because she forced Justin to reveal everything. Turns out, the rich are so interesting…This time, the divorce will not be so simple anymore.She stood up, put the money on the table, then left.Just when walking out of the door, Annie was hit by someone. Looking at a familiar man running past, she felt so strange and decided to follow him.The man ran into an alley, tried to avoid people's eyes, then he started to open the camera. Looking at the pictures, he showed a satisfied smile. He's about to get rich, really, he's going to be rich.“Hey, you've been exposed, haven't you? How can Dustin still hire you?” A hand rested on the man's shoulder, and a terrifyingly familiar voice slowly resounded. The man shook his head, w
It was about 6:30 p.m.Annie texted her husband that she would come home late. After that, she set the phone to vibrate mode and drove to the airport.It only took her 15 minutes to drive to the airport, so when Annie just arrived, she saw her sister coming to her.Bella has a younger sister named Millie. They are twins, so they look very similar. Bella looks a bit more mature, but her sister is cuter."Get in!"Annie reminded her to get in the car. Millie smiled and said: "Sister, I haven't rented a house yet, can I stay in your house?. I don't like the hotel at all, it's not comfortable, you know!"Millie is so cute and innocent, looking at her can make our hearts flutter.Unfortunately, Annie was an exception.Annie gave Millie a blueprint of the house: “I bought it, you don't have to hesitate. This is for you.”“...”Millie was a little awkward, she just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to be with Dustin. She wanted to see her talented brother-in-law up close. For a l
On the way back home...Annie was still staring at her phone, completely ignoring Dustin.This made him extremely uncomfortable.He cared about her so much, but she didn't care at all. Is she really his wife?"What are you looking at?" Dustin suddenly reached out his hand to Annie, intending to take the phone.Instinctively, she leaned over, catching the arm that was aimed at her:"What are you doing?"Dustin pay attention to her expression carefully.Seeing her like that, Dustin felt very… familiar.It seemed that he and she had met before... a long time ago.But he could not remember when.After all, his memory of her was a bit hazy.Dustin froze for a moment, then shook his head slightly: "Nothing, I'm just curious about what you're looking at."Annie looked at him for a moment, then released her hand and returned to her original position: "It's just the company's business."After saying that, she turned off the phone, put it in the bag, closed her eyes and rested for a while.Dust
This news was so shocking and spread so quickly that everyone in the party was extremely surprised.All the orders were canceled?Stock prices falled?The shares were bought?This was such a shocking news, there was definitely someone behind these actions, but it is impossible for a stable growing company like Vinwind to encounter this situation.Even Michael stood unsteadily, his expression changed constantly. But the phone still hasn't turned off, the assistant's voice still came in, along with some new news.“You should access to the internet now! Thing's going to be wrong!" After finishing the report, the assistant quickly hung up, probably still busy with something. Just then, Michael's phone rang again. But he was not in the mood to answer the phone anymore, quickly went online to watch the news.This news is related to Vinwind.Michael tried to quickly scroll through the news, he felt cold, shocked and scared...This... who did it?People around also quickly spread the news, th
Annie had just returned to the party when she saw the worried face of the butler. The butler quickly walked over to and said: "Mrs. Bella, please, there are so many guests, I can't handle all . I know you're tired, but…”"Okay, where's Millie?""She's in the room." The housekeeper said, then waited to see what Annie would do.Annie nodded: "Tell her to get ready, I'll receive the guests first."Then she went out into the lobby...Right now, there were some people who are talking extremely excitedly...In one corner, Dustin stood in the dark, avoiding most people's eyes, slowly drinking. From time to time, there were a few people who wanted to meet him but he rejected all.He's not here to talk to them, he's here to find his wife.That's all...But his wife didn't know, wasn't even happy to see him. This made him feel very uncomfortable.So, when he saw his wife talking to another man, Dustin seemed to be crazy...When she talked to him, she wasn't like that...She even rarely talked
It was almost seven o'clock when Annie arrived at the party.Today's party was organized not only to welcome the twin sister of Bella, but also to confirm Millie's position in this elite.Previously, because of her unhealthy body from birth, she had to go abroad to live since she was a child, not being able to interact with the elite in her hometown. But because of that, she received more love from her parents. Annie has no memories of Bella so she doesn't know much about this relationship.But based on the documents she got her assistant to investigate, it seemed that her parents cared more about Millie.After all, Annie doesn't learn too much because her mission is only to deal with Dustin and those who want to harm her.In the mansion, Annie stood in the great hall, directing the maids to organize the party."Sister!" Millie wearing a blue dress, ran downstairs with a smiling face: “Sister! I miss you so much! But I can't contact you these days! Are you busy?"Annie patted her head
Millie hadn't seen Annie for several days, so she became impatient and resentful. She even called the company but still couldn't find her sister.She hasn't worked at FC for a few years, so her shares belong to Bella.Therefore, she is also not allowed to enter the FC without permission from the management.Millie worried for days. She was busy thinking about her sister planning to harm her, or thinking about how to deal with her sister.But the truth is...Annie was drowning in work, she has no time to think about that stuff.Right after that, Annie suddenly sent her a party dress.Millie looks at the red dress...The dress was beautiful, it complimented her perfect body."But why did Bella choose this dress?" Millie wondered.Or is there something hidden inside?Millie was not sure, so she checked the dress very carefully, but still found nothing. Millie hesitated, finally decided to throw this dress away, get another one to replace it. Although it is unknown what Annie's plan is, it
Then Micheal realized that Annie also came. He was startled for a moment: "Bella, you come too." Annie looked at his fake smile, then at those people at the party, she suddenly showed a beautiful smile, walked over to Dustin, and said: “Oh, you ask me?”- she tried to be calm. And after thinking for a while, Micheal realized her meant. He smiled: "I'm sorry for making you uncomfortable. But what happened to you today? I don’t remember Dustin said you would be here, so… So you mean I’m uninvited, right? Dustin glanced at Micheal. How can he say that? He said he would bring his wife here but he is acting like he doesn't know anything? But when Dustin was about to say something, Annie said: "Is that so? Can't my husband bring me here for dinner? We don’t need your invitation to be here! You overestimate yourself.” Micheal looked a bit uncomfortable: "But unfortunately, we hire the whole restaurant today, I’m afraid you will have to go to another place for dinner…” Annie stroked her
Annie was sitting at the dining table. She kept thinking about the word “darling” that Dustin said last night. Dustin used a sweet voice to talk to her, that’s unbelievable! That was the first time he'd called her “darling” since they married. But what did he mean? It was beyond her calculation as well as her logical thinking. Therefore, Annie could not guess the next step and she didn’t know what her husband was thinking either. Then she decided to ask him directly… Annie put down the chopsticks and asked the maid: "Did Dustin go to work?" “Yes, Mister went to work early, before leaving, he told us to make lunch for you. If you want it right away, I'll get it."-said the maid. Annie suddenly fell into contemplation for a while. After that, she stood up and said: "Clear the table, and then sent my lunch to the company.” The people quickly put away the things on the dining table. Annie took her coat and drove away. Thirty minutes later… At her old house… Annie parked the ca
That evening... After meeting Annie, Amber and Justin went out for a date and didn't return to their luxury apartment until ten o'clock at night. While walking up the stairs, Amber immediately saw something wrong, the apartment was deserted today. Usually, everyone still hasn't slept, the neighbor girl even often watered flowers at this hour because she often gets home at this time… But why is it so quiet today? However, she didn't think much of it, she just thought that everyone was busy or changed their habit or something… Standing in front of the door, she took a key from her bag, then opened the door… But as soon as she entered, she immediately saw an elegant girl sitting on her sofa, slowly drinking a cup of tea. Annie smiled: "Good evening! Where did you go? I've been waiting for you for a very long time." "Bella...you… why are you here?" Amber was a bit shocked: "You… this is my house, you can’t be here without my permission! I’ll call the police!” "Huh?...No, no. Calm
