"Alright!"
Mama Langdon frowned, what should she do, Young Master Warner had instructed her to show him Annelise’s daily als before he left.
Annelise got up and left.
Uncle Ford was already waiting outside.
"Miss Winter, get in the car, I’ll take you to work!"
"Uncle Ford, there’s no need, I’ll just take a cab to work!"
Annelise disliked bothering others, especially since Uncle Ford was quite old.
"Young Master instructed when he left not to give a hard ti!"
Uncle Ford smiled and gestured for Annelise to get in the car.
Annelise got into the car.
Uncle Ford drove Annelise towards The Airline.
Annelise chose a less conspicuous spot to get off, dragging her weary and aching body into The Airline.
The Airline
She entered the office and saw Chloe Joyce.
Before she could sit down, Chloe approached.
Her face was quite displeased, and she complained to Annelise, "Annelise, did you hear any rumors when you arrived? Don’t listen to their nonsense!"
Annelise was already used to it.
It wouldn’t be surprising if no one at The Airline was gossiping about her.
"Annelise, that woman you t at the bar the other night, with the surna Lowell, is she your best friend? Why is she so close to Captain Warner? Is she really Captain Warner’s girlfriend? Are they engaged?"
Chloe gossiped.
It was because that night, she clearly saw Elias Warner cared about Annelise.
The rumors at The Airline, she believed, were false.
Soone was jealous of Annelise.
Elias Warner liked Annelise.
Instead, rumors said Annelise was seducing Captain Warner.
All of them were people who couldn’t see talent.
"She was my best friend, but now she probably isn’t anymore!"
Annelise said, then fell silent for a while.
Sylvia Lowell hadn’t told her about her and Elias Warner, hiding this from her for several years.
But she seed to have kept a lot from Sylvia Lowell as well.
Last night... she and Elias Warner experienced sothing like that.
Annelise suddenly felt a bit guilty toward Sylvia Lowell.
How could she make such a grave mistake?
"I think that beauty is very scheming, it’s better not to be friends with such people!" Chloe, though thinking ill of others wasn’t good.
However, that night, she specifically asked Annelise to dance too.
Since she’s your dear friend, why publicly humiliate her?
Such a friend isn’t worth keeping.
Annelise did not reply.
She picked up the dical kit, preparing to replace it on the plane.
As she walked through the corridor, everyone was gossiping about her.
This ti, she heard it clearly but did not respond.
Because, indeed, she felt a bit guilty.
She walked with her head down, accidentally bumping into Chase Perry’s arms.
"I’m sorry, I didn’t an to..."
When she looked up and saw Chase Perry, she was surprised.
She thought Chase would only start working a few days later.
Unexpectedly, he started today.
"Annelise, what on earth is going on? I was just about to find you to clear things up!"
Chase frowned; at the bar, eting Sylvia Lowell, he learned that Elias Warner was engaged, and his fiancée was the daughter of the Lowell Family.
"I don’t know, I really don’t know, I haven’t had much interaction with Elias Warner!"
Annelise explained; she just didn’t know how to explain to Chase, especially now in The Airline’s corridor, if overheard by outsiders, it would create more issues.
"Is that so? But... isn’t Sylvia Lowell your best friend?"
Chase knew Sylvia Lowell was Annelise’s best friend.
In the past, when in Breslin, Annelise used to receive calls from Sylvia Lowell.
"That was before, not anymore, anyone close to Elias Warner won’t have much interaction with ! Chase, I appreciate you taking care of Luna, but you’re already married, and I don’t want to trouble you further!"
Annelise just wanted to make things clear and leave quickly.
After all, previous rumors about her and Chase were not good for Chase’s reputation.
She didn’t want Chase to be left with a tarnished reputation after helping her.
"How’s Luna doing? My brother hasn’t found out about Luna, has he? Where is she now; I kind of miss her!"
Chase shifted the topic to Luna.
He had already learned that Flora and others had returned to Breslin, and they had inford him about Luna’s recovery.
However, in this country, Luna’s identity was easily discovered.
He stared at Annelise, waiting for an answer, but caught a glimpse of the red kiss mark on her neck.
Though Annelise wore a tie to hide it, he still faintly saw it.
He felt a pang of heartache and disbelief.
Recently, though he hadn’t concerned himself with Annelise’s life while in Breslin, after returning, he inquired about her from others.
He heard she had a new boyfriend.
Lucas Lowell.
Chase knew who Lucas Lowell was.
When he heard this news, it felt like a stab to the heart.
The heartache was unbearable.
If soone had to be by Annelise’s side, he wished it were him.
He even hoped Annelise would never find a boyfriend again, giving him the chance to stay close to her.
But now, the kiss mark on her neck...
Was it from Lucas Lowell?
He didn’t believe it!
He knew, after Annelise parted ways with Elias Warner, she hadn’t been with anyone else.
Even though he was willing to take care of her then, regardless of her status, and even if scorned, he wanted to marry Annelise.
Even accepting Luna, he was willing.
But Annelise had refused him.
"Annelise, are you with my brother or that Lucas Lowell?"
Chase clenched his fingers, digging into his palms, consud with jealousy.
"What are you talking about? I’m not with Elias Warner; I have to replace the dical kit quickly; let’s talk when there’s ti!"
Annelise left Chase’s side.
Chase stood there, unable to calm down for a long ti.
Not with Elias Warner?
Then the kiss mark on her, it’s Lucas Lowell’s?
How was he inferior to that Lucas Lowell?
He stood there in a daze.
June Winter saw all of this.
The way Chase looked at Annelise just now sparked jealousy in June Winter.
Just getting to work and rushing to see Annelise made June Winter more suspicious that the little girl she saw in Breslin was indeed Chase and Annelise’s child.
Recently, she had instructed people to keep an eye on that little girl’s situation in Breslin.
The information she received was that the girl had returned to the country for treatnt.
She also saw reports here that Elias Warner brought the little girl to the hospital and was even mistaken by the girl as her father.
What were they discussing just now?
She vaguely heard Chase asking, "Is she okay now?" and ntions of Doctor Flora, making her suspect they were discussing that child’s situation.
