Her tone did not contain any emotions but he knew that she was challenging him openly. She did not back off like he had expected and suddenly, this made his heart warm up.
'Does she not hate ? then why did she agree to do this project with ?' he can't help but wonder but at the sa ti, everyone's eyes were fixed on both of them.
Standing on his seat as well, he buttoned up his coat and then shook the hand with Anna with a firm grip of both of their hands. Their eyes are looking into each other, and a mining other feels cold suddenly.
"I will work with you, Mr. Walker. After all, I would like to know how capable are Walkers to handle such a big project with . After all, we are all old acquaintances, right?"
This suddenly made Anna shudder but she didn't back off instead replied with the sa seriousness, "Right, we are old acquaintances and know each other for so long. This will surely help us in the future!"
"That is great! You both know each front back ti? This will make this real estate project reach another height for sure! Drinks for this occasion?" Mr. Adm was feeling very good when he saw both of them shaking hands and fixing the deal finally.
But no one was aware of the turmoil inside Anna's mind. She was feeling that she was committing any mistake because his touch, on the other hand, made her rember all the ti she had seen on the foothill within. The past glimpses were once again coming back into her mind which made her retreat her hand back.
Alex frowned but he didn't raise any objection but he saw how nervous she suddenly was and his suspicion grew stronger.
'You are surely going through sothing Anna!' He figures this out very easily for the change of expressions on her face and it is hard.
On The other hand, Mr. Adam ca to them with drinks as Anna fixed the glass in one go without giving a second thought and sourced everyone's restraint in the room.
"Ms. Anna, you should take it easy! It's a celebration ti and we all should go sowhere for dinner, what do you all say?" Mr. Adam suggested but Anna only smiled.
"I'm really sorry Mr. Adam. I can't accompany you there because there is SOONE waiting for at ho. I need to quickly go back. I hope you will understand!"
"Oh, no problem Anna. You should go back to your family while I think Alex you can co with ? Are you free right now?" Mr. Adam turned to Alex.
anwhile, Alex's eyes beca more cold when he heard Anna saying that soone was waiting for her at the back ho. He had kept a track over her and knew that she had nobody in her life; she was single as well!
Who will wait for her at ho? her husband? This made Alex's heart ache but he did not reply. Instead, his eyes were simply glued to her face, trying to read through her soul but his eyes shifted when Mr. Adam also asked him sothing.
"Sorry, Mr. Adam but I have so work as well. My girlfriend wanted ti to accompany her sowhere." When he spoke this line, he deliberately allowed Anna, trying to see the expressions.
But to his dismay, she doesn't eat at all. Her friendly face made Alex think twice why the hell is she not eating now? she was absolutely fine just a few minutes ago!
This aloof face of hers was giving him a lot of doubts but he did not raise his suspicion. Here, except for him, no one knew he was real Anna and he has no intention of revealing to everyone who exactly Anna is.
Instead, Anna only smiled at . Adam and without answering anyone present here, she walked off with the topal prunes covering her face which was making him think twice before doing anything wrong.
Most of the peel present here aren't aware of the intention and his past, the only information that they all had was, he is the heir of the Steve business and has made another company for himself and nothing else.
Taking her leaves, Anna wt away from everyone's eyes as Alex kept his eyes fixed on her back but in the end, he smiled back at Mr. Adam and spoke, 'It is a wonder to work with you, Mr. Adam. I would collaborate with Ms. Anna and will make sure I will present you with the best work of mine. You won't be disappointed with us!"
"I expect the sa from you both. Your young generation needs to make a na for themselves and I can see that it will be the best opportunity for you both. God bless you both!"
Alex smiled in return and walked off the eting area with his secretary but then, his eyes landed on the figure that was standing in the lobby alone while talking to soone.
Her back we faced towards him as sothing stricked inside his mind which made his eyes littered and he turned around to see his secretary, "You go down. I will co back when I'm free."
"Okay, Sir."
When his secretary left, Alex walked over to listen to so other conversation with soone he doesn't know.
"Yeah. I will co back as soon as possible. Hmm, give her sothing to eat also!... Well, that isn't in my hand... Okay done! But-" The lady wasn't given any chance when she looked around, to find her hands were locked with Alex blocking her way, making her stand against the wall.
"Alex! You fucker! What are you trying to do?!" Anna hissed as the pain of his breaking her arm ca into her mind. His grip was too tight to make her cry!
"What am I trying to do? Well, I ask you the sa. What are you trying to pretend to be Ms. Walker?"
