It had been a month since James' affair with Rachel. Anna deliberately kept herself busy with her work and also accepted a job that required her to travel to a branch office in another city. She no longer wanted to remember the affair. But on the contrary, the image of her touch and crazy one-night stand with Rick, never disappeared from her memory.
This made Anna still remember the handsome man, still remember Rick's touch. But, of course, the woman tried to get the wild thoughts out of her brain. The important thing now was to work on forgetting all the bad memories and wild memories of her one-night stand with Rick.
"Anna, are you going to work late again today?" Asked Claire, one of Anna's coworkers. As of this moment, Anna was still in the office.
"I'm not going to work overtime, but, I still have to finish this work of mine first before going home."
Now, Anna shared a living space with Alice, so going home meant going back to Alice's apartment.
"Alright, then, I'm going home first!"
"Yeah, be careful on the road."
"See you."
"Okay, bye!"
Anna took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
The woman deftly finished her task and afterwards, she would hand it over to her manager, after which Anna would return back to Alice's apartment, so that she would no longer meet the two traitors. Jennifer also left her house, so Rachel could stay there.
Arriving at Alice's apartment, suddenly her body was pulled by someone, then quickly the woman's mouth was smothered.
Of course Annabelle rebelled, the woman immediately hit the person who pulled her and hoped that the person would let her go.
"Hey ... hey ... listen to me! Don't scream, okay? I'll let you go!" whispered a man whose voice Anabelle recognized. Yes, that man was James Smith. Annabelle could only nod her head as she agreed to James' wishes. James slowly stretched his arms, but suddenly Annabelle pushed James' body so hard that James' shoulder hit the wall.
"Get away! Don't come near me again. What exactly do you want?"
"Shush, I just want to talk to you," James whispered while putting his index finger in front of his lips asking Annabelle to obey and be quiet.
"Say it right away and don't think that you can get close to me."
"Okay... but aren't we going to talk about this inside Alice's apartment?"
"Don't dream!" Annabelle exclaimed in a rude tone.
"Shhh... keep your voice down, do you want the whole apartment to hear your voice?" James raised both hands in front of his chest, trying to calm Annabelle down so that she wouldn't scream.
Annabelle finally shut up and didn't say anything else. She gave James a chance, even though she was sickened by the look on his face.
"Please, I don't want to part with you. I don't want to marry your sister either. Really, I only love you!" James said in a pleading tone. Then the man continued.
"What happened that time, it all started with your sister. Baby, I..."
"Stop! Go away or I'll yell for everyone to come and beat you up." Annabelle smiled wryly and gave James a dismissive look. James hesitantly left Annabelle, fearing that the residents of the apartment next to Alice's would come out and beat him up.
Annabelle herself assured herself first that James had left the place, before finally dialing the lock code of Alice's apartment door, and immediately entered and closed it with a double lock.
"You're crazy!" Annabelle's jaw hardened as she remembered the words her ex-husband had said. How could that man say that he didn't love Rachel, and felt that Annabelle's sister was the one who set him up. Just thinking about it made Annabelle sick so she said, "Bullshitt!!!"
"Does he think I'm an i***t, that he could say something like that? You're crazy!" Annabelle continued to swear and grumble before flinging herself onto the sofa. She was still ruffling her hair in annoyance, having grown tired of James.
"What does he want exactly? Already enjoying Rachel and having a child with her, but still bothering me? Oh God, please help me!"

Meanwhile at one of the tables on the 2nd floor of a nightclub, a group of men were talking, accompanied by expensive drinks and sexy women. The meeting hadn't started yet, they were just casually chatting with each other.
Maverick's assistant came immediately when the boss called him.
"Have you investigated the person I asked for?" Rick asked Lukas, his assistant and confidant.
"I have, her name is Annabelle Wilson, she is an orphan and lives with her sister. She already has a fiancé named James Smith, and reportedly they have broken up, because James had an affair. But, the hot rumor is that James Smith's mistress is Annabelle Wilson's sister Rachel Wilson. And her sister is also pregnant from her affair with James."
"Then, have you investigated James?"
"I did, he's just a silly heir to the not-so-famous Smith company..."
Rick understood the assistant's meaning, that James was not his opponent at all, so the man grinned coldly.
"In that case, get rid of that silly man. Shake up his company, maybe then, he won't bother Anna anymore." He said in a low voice.
His assistant just nodded, but out of curiosity, he asked again,
"But anyway, why are you so eager to help that woman named Annabelle? Is it possible that you've fallen in love with that woman? Is it because her service is satisfactory to you? Do you want me to pick her up and bring her here?" asked his assistant in a teasing tone, but Luke's question made Rick stare at his assistant's face sharply. His assistant immediately cleared his throat, because the gaze of his boss seemed to want to kill him. There was no one who dared with Maverick, especially when the man was angry. So to be on the safe side, Luke chose to shut up and leave.
"B-Boss, I'm going to carry out your orders right away. "Luke quickly walked away rather than get angry with his boss.
After seeing his assistant leave to do what he wanted, Rick, who was sitting holding a drink glass, just turned it around while sipping slowly.
The woman who was there was no longer interesting to him. In Rick's mind right now was only Annabelle and her body that made him satisfied, especially when he knew that Anna was still a virgin.
It had been a month since the events of that hot night, Rick refrained from meeting the woman and asking her out.
This was uncharacteristic, because usually Rick would easily forget the woman he slept with.
Why couldn't he forget Annabelle?
Why did he still remember what happened on that hot night?
