the contract signed
1569 Words
The crowd looked at each other in silence, not daring to say a word, even their breathing became lighter.
Adam’s fingers holding the document turned white, and he slammed the document he was holding on the conference table, his voice slightly cold.
“You can all leave first.”
Upon hearing this, the few people felt as if they had been pardoned and left with big strides.
Adam’s voice, like shattered jade, contained a hint of anger, “Miss Gray, the share transfer agreement is still being drafted.”
The implication was that she was too reckless.
“Don't worry too much handsome,” Anna smiled lightly, her foxy eyes revealing a hint of playfulness.
Swaying her long legs, she walked up to him, slightly bending down, her tone light with a French accent and seductive, “Or is it that Mr Peterson is in a hurry?”
Was he in a hurry?
The man’s eyes deepened slightly, squinting at her.
She raised her red lips slightly, and when she leaned down slightly, the neckline of her black suspender dress opened slightly, revealing a beautiful butterfly bow on her collarbone, which was very alluring and sexy.
Adam’s breathing became unsteady, and he felt a little annoyed but surprisingly turned on.
This woman was too ostentatious and had no small amount of courage.
It seemed that she could do anything for a certain purpose, even more outrageous things and it made him wary of her.
Could Anastasia be like this?
He had always believed that things were made by people, and there could not be such a coincidence in the world.
Their faces were so similar, and their names were only one letter apart also she had a slim figure but it was just hard to believe on his end.
He lightly rubbed the pen in his hand, his expression dark and obscure.
Anna stared at him without blinking, and lightly raised her lips, “Mr Peterson, why aren't you speaking?”
Suddenly, the man stood up and approached her.
His big hand held her chin, looking down at her petite face with a cold gaze and an oppressive voice, “Anastasia, are you done pretending?”
Anna felt her throat tighten and her heart skip a beat.
“yes and…Mr Peterson, sometimes you are funny who are you even calling that? Do I look like that person so much that you are mistaken?”
In just a moment, she slightly hooked her lips and gracefully sat on the desk behind her, crossing her legs elegantly after throwing that sentence.
Her slender hand rested on the thin Adam’s abdomen, slowly sliding up. Her fingertips lightly twisted around his tie.
Then she pulled him towards her with force and lazily hooked her lips, “Is Mr.Peterson pretending?”
Her voice was both sweet and charming, with a hint of casual laziness. Her gaze traveled from Adam’s Adam apple to his cold eyes.
Without avoiding or dodging, even with a hint of teasing, she rubbed her chin against his palm, and said ambigiously, “You brought me here, didn’t give me a contract, and even got rid of the troublemakers….”
As she spoke, she pulled his tie and circled her fingertips around it, raising her eyebrows, “Mr . Peterson, could it be love at first sight for me?”
At the words, Adam’s grip on her loosened unconsciously.
The two of them were very close, and the atmosphere gradually heated up.
Adam’s Adam apple moved rapidly, and his probing gaze carried a hint of disgust and anger.
Anna’s smile deepened at the sight.
This was exactly the look she wanted.
Disgust?Disidain?
Then push her away quickly, sign the contract, and leave.
Unexpectedly, a tingling sensation suddenly came from her waist.
After releasing her, Adam held onto her waist and suddenly tightened his grip.
In the next moment, Anna’s heart was pressed against his broad chest, and a familiar yet unfamiliar scent surrounded her nose. She couldn’t help but think of the man she had saved before…
At the same time, Adam’s nose twitched. When she leaned in, the breeze that brushed past her carried a familiar fragrance.
Adam’s throat rolled up and down. This kind of breath inexplicably reminded him of what happened five years ago.
The outskirts where he couldn’t see his fingers.
The girl who saved him.
In a daze, he could still hear her voice.
He was stunned, and the breath disappeared in an instant, like an illusion.
He examined her face, and there was no place that was different from Anastasia, except for the teardrop mole under the corner of her eye, which made her look more charming and tempting. Also, her short hair and slim figure showed a difference.
His eyes darkened, and his low, magnetic voice lingered in her ear, “Miss Gray, sitting on my desk is not the proper posture for signing a contract, is it?”
His black-as-obsidian eyes fell on her cheek, and his warm breath carried a sense of oppression.
“Miss Gray please do tell me what you want, hmm?”
Her slender waist was held by his warm palm.
In the man’s eyes, there seemed to be a deep and bottomless pool, and one could easily fall into it.
Anna was somewhat surprised.
In his eyes, Anna was the enemy who had killed his mother, a woman who made him feel disgusted with just a glance.
But now he could still interact with her calmly.
Was he testing her or did he have other motives?
If this continued, she would not be able to escape. Anna took a deep breath.
She lifted her eyes lightly,half-probing and half-serious, and said, “I heard that Mr . Peterson seems to have had a fiancee before am I right?”
The fingers that were entwined with his tie loosened, leaving some red marks, and then climbed up Adam’s neck.
She exhaled like an orchid in his ear, and her voice became more lazy and charming: “It’s a coincidence, but I look very much like her. You wouldn’t still have feelings for that woman who is said to have killed our mother may her soul rest in peace, would you?”
As she spoke, she looked up at his eyes, and the dark color in them seemed to want to engulf her.
She suppressed her inner panic and just wanted him to dislike her.
Thinking of this, she slowly approached him, her smile becoming more and more enchanting and casual, and said slowly, “If that’s the reason, it's understandable that Mr.Peterson has other thoughts about me, maybe am thinking the same.”
Her bright lips were like full and fresh roses.
She leaned in, extremely tempting.
“I don’t mind using this face to have some romantic affairs with the esteemed Adam Peterson..”
Adam’s gaze moved from her thin lips to her fox-like eyes, but he didn’t move, as if he was waiting for her to continue.
Anna’s heart suddenly panicked.
Why was it not what she had expected?
Shouldn’t he feel disgusted by a woman who looked exactly like his mother’s murderer?
What should she do?
Just as they were about to kiss, suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
In the next moment, Alfred saw the ambiguous distance between the two.
The alarm bells rang in his heart, and he turned around to leave.
Adam coldly said,” Come back.”
Alfred nodded and walked back in with a stiff face.
Anna lightly curved her lips, turned around, got off the table in the conference room, sat in the position closest to the main seat, crossed her legs, and tapped the chair with her fingers, without any embarrassment, but rather comfortable and playful.
Adam asked in a cool and flat voice, “Is the contract drafted?”
Alfred’s heart tightened and he handed the contract to him. “It’s done.”
Then he looked at Anna. “Miss Gray, the contract is ready. If there are no problems, please sign on the last page.”
Anna casually pushed aside a strand of hair behind her ear, didn’t even look at the content of the contract, and went straight to the last page, signing her name.
She then handed it to Adam. “Please sign Mr .Peterson.”
Adam took the contract, and his gaze fell on her three lively and vigorous words, gradually becoming profound.
Her handwriting was comfortable and unrestrained, casual yet grand.
The handwriting of Anastasia was a completely different version from the elegant and upright handwriting of before.
He remembered her fearless demeanor in front of him just now.
Five years…
Could a person change so much from the inside to out?
Or was she not Anastasia?
His eyes grew deeper and he picked up the pen, signing his name.
Alfred couldn’t help but ask when he saw Anna sign the contract so casually, “Miss Gray, this contract involves a considerable sum of money. Are you sure you don’t want to take a closer look at the content?”
Anna picked up the signed contract, her red lips curling into a smile, “ I trust Mr . Peterson’s character and financial strength. He wouldn’t play dirty tricks on a weak woman like me.”
After speaking, she got up and left with the contract in hand.
Adam looked at her back.
