Chapter 66 In A Private Place
Everyone around wondered why she stood up and was staring in shock.
Fernando did not notice Silvia's situation because he too was busy staring at Ana. He had only seen the picture sent to him but seeing her in real life he could not help but think this is Ana.
But unlike Silvia who was in more shock and was standing. He was seated and was staring at her calmly.
Ana suddenly turned to their direction and stared at Silvia.
Fernando's eyes went to Silvia, he saw she was standing and was staring at Ana in shock. She was surely shocked that she was seeing someone that looks exactly likeAna who was dead.
Ana looked at Fernando who was now looking at Silvia before her eyes moved away and she went to the front with Emiliano.
Ana thought about the woman she just saw, she doesn’t look like Silvia. But the way the woman stood up to look at her in shock made her feel that it was Silvia and that she just had another plastic surgery to change her face.
Maybe staring at the face of the person she killed haunted her everyday so she decided to change her face to look different again.
Emiliano helped her to the platform and she thanked him.
They both stood and faced everyone present as the clapping died down.
Emiliano spoke "Thank you everyone for coming to this event. We held this event to mark a new beginning for our company E&A Tech. We now officially have a branch here in the country's capital city which is a great achievement since our company only started 5 years ago and has grown this much. We want to thank you all for coming to celebrate with us and we also hope that you all present today will partner with us so we can grow together and bring about change in our society," everyone clapped.
“And also to add, I want to show a heartfelt gratitude to my business partner here who has supported me just as I have supported her. I would not have thought of anyone better to create this company with than her. She is the best” Emiliano smiled at Ana and Ana smiled back.
Everyone waited for Ana to speak including Fernando. He needed something else to convince him that this was Ana and that the person on that grave was fake.
Ana whispered in Emiliano’s ear and he smiled and turned to the crowd.
“My partner here was so busy that she forgot to prepare what to say” Emiliano smiled and the audience laughed.
Ana smiled too and bowed in apology.
Fernando clenched his fist. He felt like getting up and dragging her to a corner to confront her of her real identity.
Emiliano did a toast before the event started properly with food and drinks and live performances by artists.
Ana and Emiliano went round to greet their new business partners and other people came to greet them too.
“How come this woman looks like Ana Fernando?” Silvia said but her voice was shaking. Ana was dead and buried so it’s not possible that she would be alive but how is there someone that looks like her?
Fernando did not reply and only walked towards Ana when he saw Emiliano left her side to go speak to Mr Blanco.
Silvia was scared and had to drag her feet and follow Fernando. She had to confirm that that woman was not the Ana she knew.
Ana was speaking to a beautiful young entrepreneur when Fernando came.
“Mr Buenavista, it’s nice to meet you face to face” the lady greeted him feeling excited.
Fernando was busy staring at Ana completely ignoring the lady speaking.
Feeling embarrassed from being ignored, the lady walked away.
Ana looked at Fernando and smiled, she stretched her hand to create him “Hello Mr Buenavista, it’s nice to meet you. I have heard a lot about you maybe we can seat to discuss so I get to learn from you on how you were able to dominate the business world”
Fernando was shocked when he heard her speak. Same voice and same mannerism, just a slight difference. “How is this possible?” he murmured.
Silvia was behind him she heard when Ana spoke and stood in shock again. It was Ana, it was her voice. There is no way this was someone else.
So who exactly had died, who was occupying her grave. Silvia's eyes moved to Fernando, she could see the shocked look on his face too. She clenched her fist tight “No no no, Ana could not be alive” she said in her mind.
“What are you talking about, what’s possible?” Ana asked in confusion.
Fernando clenched his fist tight “Who are you? tell me that you are the woman I knew years ago and I will not doubt you” Fernando said pleadingly.
He wanted her to tell him she did not die and the person he buried was fake. He wanted to believe so much that he did not lose her years ago.
Ana smiled “Emiliano had told me about the other Ana. I had met him in country A and my resemblance with her made him approach me. He was also shocked just like you" Ana lied.
Silvia suddenly sighed in relief "Of course it can’t be Ana, Ana was confirmed dead by the authorities. She had seen her body so this person was surely someone else. She must have done surgery that made her look like Ana just as she did before. Although the voice was weirdly similar, it is possible for two people to sound alike, she convinced herself.
Silvia became calm. She walked closer to Fernando and wrapped her hand around his then smiled at Ana.
“You really look like her. But I knew there is no way you would be her because you are rich and more refined unlike the other Ana that was from the slums and only got to make money from my misfortune” Silvia said hatefully.
Ana was angry at what she said but she stayed calm “Oh I see”
Silvia smiled and looked at Fernando. Her face changed when she saw how intently he was staring at Ana.
“I will be in the rest room” She said and kissed him on the cheek before walking away but that was after she gave Ana a warning look.
Ana laughed inwardly “I need to greet other people” Ana said and was about to walk away but he held her hand.
“We need to talk, I need to speak to you alone in a private place”
Ana looked at his hand and gently pulled her hand away “I’m very busy. If you want to book a business appointment you have to do it with my partner, Mr Rodrigo”
“Fernando held her hand more firmly “No, you are the one I want to talk to and it’s very important” he said seriously.
