"Actually, I’m quite tight-lipped. Gossip goes in through my ears but never cos out of my mouth, so don’t worry!" Florian thought it necessary to make a statent.
"However, I have another question." He shifted his gaze from Anna Thornton to Conrad Sterling: "What exactly is your relationship now? Are you a couple? Lovers? Friends with benefits?"
"None of the above!"
Seeing Conrad deny it, Florian was a bit skeptical.
He then looked at Anna Thornton, seeking confirmation.
"I’m pursuing him, and he’s pursuing soone else, that’s all!"
With this explanation, everything made more sense.
"So you guys actually have no relationship at all?" Florian sighed in relief, "Then I can relax."
"So, if I want to pursue Miss Anna, you wouldn’t have any objections, right, President Sterling?" He asked Conrad.
Upon hearing this, Conrad’s brow instinctively furrowed: "Do you know what you’re saying?"
"I do. Kevin said after I turned eighteen, I could start dating. Plus, I’ve already fallen in love, and whether he agrees or not, he can’t stop my love for Miss Anna!"
Love at eighteen cos so fast, like a whirlwind!
Conrad couldn’t understand this childish view of love; Florian and Anna hadn’t even interacted much before.
Just fild a music video together, and he fell in love so easily?
But Anna really may have such charm that makes n fall for her at first sight, just like Finn Grant?
Finn Grant is just crazy. He’s probably been driven to the brink by family pressure to marry, and just grabbing onto Anna, refusing to let go, insisting she marries him.
Compared to him, Florian seed more like he was just joking.
Even if he was serious, Conrad thought Anna wouldn’t be so naive as to believe what a kid says.
However, the ’not so naive Anna’ in Conrad’s imagination actually believed him: "Whether others have opinions doesn’t matter much, it mainly depends on my mood. If you perform well, I might consider giving you a number card to pursue ."
"I’ve already asked my agent to book hotel rooms for you guys, is that considered a good performance?"
"Not bad."
"Let’s go, I’ll ask the assistant to drive you over to check them out."
Just like that, the two joked and laughed, agreeing to go to the hotel together. Anna decided not to return ho, leaving Conrad Sterling standing there.
President Sterling’s expression was really not good, and if Anna turned back at this mont, she’d find she had just set a new record for increasing his anger level.
He specifically ca to pick her up, and she actually didn’t go back with him?
Fine!!!
Conrad was fuming when his phone rang.
Seeing it was a call from ho, he answered.
"President Sterling!" Granny Chandler spoke on the other end, "The young miss is asking when you’ll return with Miss Thornton; she misses you."
Upon hearing Pop, Conrad’s heart softened a bit: "I’ll be back soon."
But thinking of Anna, his anger surged again: "She... isn’t coming back!"
Granny Chandler sensed President Sterling’s tone wasn’t good and was confused by his words.
Was it that Miss Thornton wasn’t coming back today? Or not coming back ever?
But she dared not ask; after hanging up, she noticed Pop looking at her expectantly: "Don’t worry, Daddy will be back soon."
"Mommy?"
"Um, not sure if Miss Thornton will co back?"
Upon hearing this, Pop ran off in a hurry, and when she returned, she was holding her toy drawing board, on which Anna’s phone number was written.
Pop tugged at Granny Chandler’s sleeve, signaling her to call Mommy again.
Actually, Granny Chandler didn’t need to call; Anna had already called back on her own.
Busy with work during the day, Anna was now finally able to rest and actually missed her child too.
If Conrad hadn’t had such a poor attitude earlier, Anna really would have planned to return with him.
But now it was too late to regret, so Anna could only ask Granny Chandler to start a video so she could see her little bun.
"Baby, Mommy’s in the car heading to the hotel now. I won’t be coming back to sleep with you tonight, can you be good and sleep on your own?"
Pop moved closer to the cara, staring at Anna intently, and nodded obediently, "Okay~"
"Did I hear you wet the bed today?"
"Mommy... shh!" She imdiately felt embarrassed.
Anna chuckled: "Alright, I won’t ntion it again. But, did soone change your pants and sheets for you?"
"Daddy!"
Conrad actually personally changed them?
Anna couldn’t even picture that scene.
Mary also missed little Pop, leaning in to greet the child.
In the car with them were also Florian, the agent, and the assistant, who was driving.
Anna and Mary sat in the very back row of the family van, so the people in front couldn’t see the video content.
But hearing the distinct child’s voice coming from the phone, they couldn’t help but glance back frequently.
After Anna hung up the phone, Kevin Jacobs asked her: "What were you thinking? Having a child so young! You have no idea how many female artists go through so many asures in private to avoid pregnancy. And after giving birth, you even publicized it, aren’t you afraid of damaging your career?"
"Pregnancy was an unexpected event for , but since she’s already born, of course, I must give her an identity."
Upon hearing this, Kevin Jacobs disagreed: "I bet it’s because you were young and naive, tricked by a jerk. Attempting to use a child to win back and trap the jerk’s heart, girls like this in the entertainnt industry exist, but all have tragic endings."
If Kevin Jacobs knew Anna’s child’s father was Conrad Sterling, he probably wouldn’t say that.
Anna wasn’t foolish; she had seen through Conrad Sterling, and it’s uncertain whether that man could win over Marilyn Ford.
With that bad temper, he might end up lonely for the rest of his life.
And Conrad Sterling didn’t have the spirit to benefit society and humanity by donating all his assets.
In the future, Pop would beco the sole heir to his estate, wouldn’t she?
As Pop’s guardian as the heir, Anna would also be a winner in life.
Once Dynasty Entertainnt fell into their hands, Kevin Jacobs would surely regret his biases against Anna.
Florian didn’t plan to remind his agent about it since he promised to keep it a secret.
Once they reached the hotel—
After completing the check-in process, Florian lingered at Anna’s room door unwilling to leave: "Miss, are you scared to be alone at night? I can stay to keep you company. Especially if you’re worried there’s sothing unclean at night, I have a secret weapon to help you ward them off."
"What secret weapon?" Anna asked curiously.
"It’s my masculinity! After all, I’m a virgin; I can drive away any evil..."
"Alright, alright!" Kevin Jacobs interjected, unable to let him continue with nonsense, "Florian, seeing you so exhausted, how could you have the energy to protect others? Your fans would feel bad seeing you like this. Let’s go back and rest early; rember you promised the director to wake up early."
However, Florian still wouldn’t leave, pressing against Anna’s door with sothing to say: "I know you must have been hurt before. Those successful older n just love tricking young girls. But fresh at is different; I’ve seen less of the world and can’t possibly trick you. Dating ans you can hold in the palm of your hand. Most importantly, I am still a virgin!"
Kevin Jacobs had had enough!
He forcibly dragged his naive, senselessly amorous young cub away.
In the elevator, Kevin Jacobs asked Florian: "Do you really have an interest in Anna or are you joking?"
"What do you think?"
"Joking, right? If you truly fell for her, I’d jump off a building!" Kevin Jacobs threatened.
To let him live a few more days, Florian smiled without responding.
Just as the elevator doors closed in front of them, a shadow wearing black clothes and a cap suddenly ca up the hotel stairs.
Sneaking closer to Anna’s room...
