Anna walked out of the Grey family villa and looked back at her former home, her eyes cold.
Then she looked ahead and saw a black Maybach driven by Adam.
She gently touched her wrist, which had been pinched by Adam earlier, and her skin turned red. She couldn’t help but think of the night five years ago when he had pressed her hand against the wall.
Everything seemed like it had happened yesterday, vividly in her mind.
She thought she had no more feelings towards him when she saw him again, but now she realized that she still remembered everything from the past.
She felt nervous about sitting in the same car as him.
She took a deep breath, cleared her mind, and was about to walk over.
Alfred got out of the car and walked towards her, saying directly, “ Miss Grey my apologies but Mr Peterson is not used to riding in the same car with others, so he asked me to send you.”
Hearing this, Anna breathed a sigh of relief. She thought she would have to sit in the same car as him.
She smiled politely and said, “Thank you.”
Alfred looked at her smile and was momentarily stunned.
She looked too much like her!
If it weren't for her stunning aura and the subtle sense of oppression she exuded, he would have mistaken her for Anastasia, the woman who had killed her future mother-in-law.
Although she looked too similar to Anastasia, she had a more charming temperament.
Especially her eyes, even when she looked at him lightly, they were still fatally attractive.
This made him reluctant to tell her directly that Mr Peterson didn’t want her to ride in the same car as him.
After getting into the car…
Anna leaned against the window leisurely, tapping the car window with her bright red nails absentmindedly. She narrowed her eyelashes and looked outside, lost in thought.
She thought of Alfred’s words.
Ha
Not used to sharing a car with others?
He was disdainful and disgusted.
For her, this was a good thing.
If she could dispel his suspicions, she wouldn’t mind making him even more disgusted with her.
With this in mind, she closed her eyes and prepared to face what was to come.
Meanwhile. at the children’s clothing store. Little Arnold was wearing a white T-shirt and gray overalls, lowering the brim of his cap and looking left and right in front of the dressing mirror.
Finally’ he smiled sweetly, satisfied with his look.
“This is good enough.”
The sales assistant stood by his side, bending down gently.
“little guy, if you buy this scarf that matches your hair, you'll look even cooler.”
Arnold covered his hair, which he had managed to stuff into the duckbill cap, and shook his head firmly.
“No need, being cool is good enough!”
The sales assistant's lips twitched, not quite understanding why this little guy was acting this rude towards her.
Arnold happily admired his cool look. At this moment, he saw a mother and son not far behind him in the mirror.
The boy was about his age, and his mother stood beside him, looking a little impatient.
He wore a duck-billed cap just like him. He could only see his profile from his angle. At first glance, he felt a strange sense of familiarity and lost himself in thought.
“When is your mom coming to pick you up? You mentioned earlier that she’ll be here soon,” the store clerk interrupted his thoughts.
Arnold blinked his black and white eyes and instantly understood. The auntie was urging him to find his mom to pay.
In the end, Arnold put on a pair of large black sunglasses and raised his wrist to reveal a white children’s watch. He casually said, “My mom can't come, so I’ll pay with my own pocket money.”
After saying that, he clicked a few times on the watch screen and displayed a payment code.
“Scan me, auntie,” he obediently looked up and said.
The store clerk was stunned. This set of clothes cost over ten thousand yuan. Even if it was a rich kid, they wouldn’t casually put ten thousand yuan in their pocket money, right?
But she still picked up the scanner.
At this moment, Arnold suddenly heard a woman behind him impatiently raising her voice, “Hurry up and choose, don’t waste time here.’
He turned his head and looked.
It was the mother from earlier and her son.
The woman was loudly scolding the poor boy, looking terrified.
His mommy would never scold him like that.
At this moment, the little boy pursed his lips and remained silent, lowering his eyes even more.
“I told you to choose, don’t you understand what people are saying?”
After Anita finished speaking, she reached out and twisted the little boy's arm.
The boy frowned but didn’t resist remaining silent.
It was as if he was used to this kind of abuse.
-Ding Dong, the payment received, is 20,678 yuan.
At this moment, the sound of the payment rang out.
The several salespeople in the store all looked over, their eyes full of envy.
He also looked over at the sound.
The one making the payment was a kid about his age, wearing a duckbill cap and looking cool, staring at his watch.
Although he couldn’t see his face clearly, there was a special sense of closeness in his figure that made him suddenly want to get closer like the pull of a magnet.
His feet unconsciously moved two steps.
Suddenly, he was forcefully pulled back by Anita.
Anita frowned and firmly grasped his shoulder, “Where are you going? Did I tell you to leave?”
“you don’t have to buy anything, but you haven’t told me what your dad likes yet?”
Her nails were sharp, and she dug into his collarbone, making him feel pain.
He took a deep breath and looked up at the boy who made him feel familiar, but he had already walked out with two shopping bags.
He felt a panic and an inexplicable sense of loss as if he had lost something.
But his shoulder was still being tightly pinched, and in his anxiety, he turned around and bit down on Anita’s wrist.
“Ah! You little mute! Are you crazy?!”
Anita let go and looked at her wound.
Without thinking, Hayden looked in the direction that Anorld had left.
The Peterson Corporation.
Adam had arrived already.
Alfred parked the car downstairs and opened the door for Anna. “Miss Gray, this way please.”
They went upstairs together.
Alfred hesitated whether to inform Mr Peterson or not as he led her to the conference room.
Anna pushed open the door directly.
Adam was sitting in the man's seat in the conference room.
There were several people in tailored suits standing beside him, looking like the management personnel.
They were whispering something, but when they heard the sound, they stopped and looked towards the door.
Anna walked in gracefully on her high heels making a clicking sound as the tip of her shoes touched the ground.
Adam, however, did not look at her and kept his stubborn eyes fixed on the documents in his hands.
Snap.
Anna casually threw her handbag with tens of thousands of dollars on the table. Her slender and white legs were crossed comfortably, and she sat in the closest position to Adam with a provocative posture, watching him work with interest evident in her beautiful eyes.
Several managers were startled by her direct behavior.
They couldn’t help but look at her with admiration.
She was wearing a black Chanel-style suspender skirt, lazily draped with a matching casual suit on her shoulders, with a devilish figure and an angelic face. It was probably her they were talking about.
Especially the slightly narrowed eyes, she was so beautiful that it made people’s hearts tremble.
Who is she?
Why did she dare to barge into Mr Peterson’s conference room?
The question was, Mr Peterson didn’t even kick her out.
Could it be….his lover!?
Everyone felt like a storm was coming and they started the shipment of these two right in front of his nose.
