So, before she went into the office, she made coffee and brought it to the Director's office. Xander took one look at her with surprise. "What's up?""What's up? Making coffee for the Director is part of my job," Anne said with a straight face. Xander nodded, took a sip of coffee, and said, "Tastes good, thank you."Bianca recovered fast, and as soon as she was back to work, she called Anne, asking her to go to the filming scene. The filming scene was in the Marwood office tower. The Marwood Group rented the place specifically for shooting. It was convenient for Anne to go over too. Bianca asked her to get her coffee as soon as she arrived. She also specifically said that she did not want the office coffee.Anne could only go out to get her the coffee.After more than half an hour, she finally handed the coffee to Bianca. Bianca looked at her slightly pink cheeks after running back scornfully and felt disgusted by her. She lifted her coffee cup and took a selfie while
The other crews looked over. Bianca immediately pretended to look sorry. She said gently, "I'm sorry, you asked me to exert force, and I did not expect to kick you accidentally, are you okay?"'Accidentally? You did it on purpose!'She also felt that Bianca's job was easy. It was something that they could complete within a day, but she had to drag it up to a few days. The first day, they were not even halfway in, and Bianca already said that she was tired and wanted to rest. The next morning, she asked Anne to go to her studio and retrieve her jewelry box, saying that she would need it for the shooting on that day itself.Anne took the jewelry box and headed to Bianca's residence. It was located in a high-end residential area. After going inside, she found Bianca's unit, pressed the doorbell and waited. She waited for quite a while, but there was no one opening up the door. Anne pressed the doorbell a few times more. She heard the footsteps inside. They were heavy and un
What was the reason?"Look at my career, my lifestyle. Are these something that you could even come close to? If it was not for Sarah, how would you ever be able to cross paths with Anthony, given your humble background? I am sure you are not unfamiliar with the concept of a perfect match?" Bianca asked the apparent."Please don't worry. I don't dream of marrying Anthony. I am only his play toy. I am truly sorry to get you on your nerves just because of this." Anne put more food into her mouth, expressionless. Perfect match? What?Bianca looked at her, disgusted. "What are you even thinking? Of course, you would not have a chance to marry him. Even if I don't exist, you would not have the chance either, but I will not allow him to be surrounded by a bunch of flies! No matter if it's you or Michelle.""Some women are funny. It is obviously the man's problem, but they just have to pick on other women. As long as you can handle Anthony, other women should not be a problem to you." A
It was a red light again, and they had to wait for one more minute.The driver was not in a hurry at all. "Is she not breathing at all?"The other crew member placed his finger under Anne's nostrils. "I cannot… I cannot feel her breathing anymore. What should we do?""This is an emergency. Can we not care so much about other people? If she dies, we cannot bear the consequences!" "Exactly. Plus, she is an employee of the Marwood Group. We cannot afford the interrogation after that!"The driver replied casually, "What does this have to do with us? We did send her to the hospital. She just did not make it in time. I am trying my best to make it quick already, but this is the traffic light."The crew member was nervous. "How far are we?""Let me see…" The driver pulled out his phone. "Half an hour more."They would probably not be able to make it under even forty minutes, judging by the driver's driving skills. Anne's condition could not wait. The crew members exchanged a lo
She would have to wait until the next day to be discharged.After that, she called the nanny, saying that she worked overtime and could not go home on time. She did not want the kids to worry. After hanging up, the door opened unexpectedly. Bianca appeared condescendingly. "I thought it was very serious, but it seems that you are just fine.""You seem disappointed?" Anne ignored her and played on her phone."Disappointed? Don't you forget, I was kind enough to let my driver send you to the hospital.""Were you touched by yourself?" Anne looked at her. "Planted seafood in my lunch and then pretended to get your driver to send me when you actually intended to make sure I die along the way. If Tommy did not appear on time, your wish would have been fulfilled."Bianca snickered. She did not deny it. Her eyes only had the anger of defeat. "You could get away this time, but not every time. This will be your consequence for staying in Luton!""I am just thinking if Anthony knew ab
She recovered swiftly and was soon discharged from the hospital.She stood outside the hospital and contemplated if she should head home by taxi or subway. Her lower abdomen was still hurting, and there was a distance from the subway station. However, a taxi would cost far too much.Anne was instantly overcome by sorrow at the realization that she lived a pathetic life where she needed to act so cautiously over spending a few more bucks.When she thought of the fact that she could spend the money on buying snacks for the children, she white-knuckled through the pain and headed toward the subway station slowly.It was barely noon by the time she arrived home, so she returned to her room to rest and made herself some soup when she started to feel hungry. After taking her medication, she went back to bed to rest.Anne placed her palm on her stomach while lying on the bed and thought to herself, 'The blood clog has been removed, so why does it still hurt? Did they leave something in t
By nine, they all went to bed.Anne was not in a hurry to head back to work because the entire office knew about what had happened to her, so she had no issue with staying home on leaves.Though she did not think that Anthony would come to visit her, she still kept an eye on his location using her phone all the time.Xander called her from time to time to check on her. Eventually, Anne could not keep pretending that she had not recovered any longer, so she headed to the office to check how much she would get as compensation for her injury.Xander returned in the afternoon after a visit to the tax office and spotted Anne right away. "You came back? Are you okay?""Still a little weak, but it won't affect my work," she said and followed him into his office. "Director, do you have time now?""I'm free for now. I happen to have something that I want to discuss with you. I am going to Archduke Group to report the latest update in the Marwood Group. You are going to come along."Anne
The careless expression on Bianca's face slowly transformed into a panicked one as she turned to look at Anthony.Anne turned the recording off and put her phone back into her pocket as she enjoyed Bianca's frantic state, knowing that Bianca must not have expected her to record their conversation.She happened to have her phone in hand when Bianca entered her room in the hospital at the time, so she decided to record them.Taken by surprise, Bianca immediately tried to explain herself to Anthony. "I didn't do it. I just didn't deny it. Anthony, you need to believe me. You know who I am better than anyone."Xander, who remained standing on the side, adjusted his spectacles and held his breath at the cold, intimidating aura oozing off of Anthony."Anne provoked me into saying those things. She is framing me." Bianca put on a victim's face, which anyone would admit that she seemed innocent on the outside.To Anne, however, everything about Bianca looked fake."Of course, I trust yo
