Chapter 143
…
“Huh?”
“What is this news? How dare this man sit together with my woman! Just you wait!”
Alexander glared at the news about Hendry Harold sitting with a woman inside a library. Gossip quickly spread, wildly speculating about a relationship between Hendry Harold and the mysterious girl.
Of course, the mafia boss, Alexander De Graham didn’t like this at all. He didn’t want his woman’s name linked to anyone else but himself.
“Freddie …”
He called out coldly. His blue eyes were sharp, and his hand clenched tightly.
Freddie, who was with his boss after they had just finished an important meeting at the company, waited for Alexander’s command.
“Do something about this news!”
The order was short and firm, and Alexander immediately grabbed his phone to call his woman.
“Yes, Boss!”
Freddie frowned slightly. He had already seen the news that was currently trending on social media. He let out a long sigh, it seemed his boss was extremely possessive over Anastasya.
Even a rumor like this was enough to make Alexander jealous, simply because it claimed that Hendry Harold had a new lover—who turned out to be Alexander’s woman.
Bzzz ... Bzzz ... Bzzz
Alexander dialed Ana’s number. He stood in front of the grand glass wall overlooking the metropolitan city, his eyes sharp, his brows deeply furrowed.
But as if to complete the situation, Ana didn’t answer the call.
“Huh?”
“That little witch, how dare she not answer my call!” Alexander growled. He hated it when his calls went unanswered. He reached for the suit jacket on his office chair, intending to go meet Ana immediately, but before he could...
“Boss, don’t tell me you’re going to meet Ana right now? You have a very important meeting with Kennedy Harold shortly,” Freddie reminded him, having watched his boss closely the entire time.
Alexander clenched his jacket tightly. His sharp blue eyes looked like a demon ready to devour something.
“Damn it!”
He closed his eyes for a moment, trying to calm himself down. His jaw tightened, making Freddie who was still in the room shake his head helplessly.
“Can love really turn someone into a madman? Tch!” Freddie muttered to himself.
He then returned to his office to handle the important tasks and the order Alexander had just given.
Meanwhile, Alexander was still struggling to control his emotions. He desperately wanted to meet Anastasya, but there was an urgent matter he had to deal with first.
…
At the same time …
Like it or not, Ana had to take Hendry Harold to the hospital. She stopped studying and immediately contacted Camila about Hendry’s condition.
“What did you do to Hendry? He has never fainted before. Did you reject him so badly that he went into shock?”
Camila had already arrived at the hospital. Her expression was relaxed as she crossed her arms and looked at Anastasya with a cynical gaze.
“Huh?”
“Reject him? I didn’t reject him. Mr. Hendry didn’t even confess his feelings to me, how could I reject him?”
“I only said that I’m fine and … umm …”
Anastasya explained everything in detail. Then, her cheeks flushed as she continued,
“That I already love another man…”
“Ahem.”
Anastasya looked a little nervous. In front of Camila, she once again mentioned that she loved Alexander. She was sure Camila knew exactly who she meant.
“Anyway, after that, Mr. Hendry suddenly fainted,” Anastasya continued seriously.
That made Camila bite her lower lip. Once again, this woman was flaunting her relationship with Alexander.
Even though Ana was simply explaining what happened, in Camila’s ears, Anastasya sounded like she was showing off her relationship with Alexander and how deeply she loved him.
Camila didn’t like that.
She lifted her chin and stared sharply at Anastasya.
“I understand! You may leave. I’ll handle the rest,” Camila said coldly, clearly wanting Anastasya out of her sight.
“Umm…”
Feeling dismissed, Anastasya didn’t say anything else. She wasn’t hurt by Camila’s cold attitude at all.
She simply obeyed and headed toward the exit. She still needed to continue studying.
But as Anastasya passed by Camila...
“Ana, I’ll say this one more time. You and Alexander are completely incompatible. I’m not saying this because I want to take Alexander from you, but so you understand your position. Sooner or later, you’ll realize how different your worlds are…”
“When that time comes, you’ll be hurt again. I’m sorry, but you’ll never be able to be with Alexander. Even if you love each other, there will come a day when he lets you go.”
“That is the bitter future waiting for you.”
Camila’s words made Anastasya fall silent. Camila said all of this because she was convinced that no matter what Alexander did, he would never be able to be with Anastasya.
Alexander’s life was far too dangerous, and Anastasya’s existence would only become his weakness.
Sooner or later, Alexander would let Anastasya go and that would be Camila’s chance to replace her.
Hearing that, Anastasya didn’t respond. She simply walked away. Her hands clenched tightly, her expression clearly annoyed.
“I know Alexander is powerful and wealthy, but I’m sure he won’t abandon me! No!”
“No matter what happens, he’ll keep his promise to make me the only woman in his life!” Ana muttered to herself.
She refused to dwell on Camila’s words. She chose to believe only what Alexander told her.
Because no matter what, Alexander was the one who always stayed by her side and protected her.
…
After that, Anastasya returned to the library. Her phone was on silent mode, so she didn’t see that Alexander had called her many times.
By then, the sun was nearly setting. Ana packed all her books into her bag and prepared to return to the apartment.
She looked at the beautiful orange sky and smiled.
“So beautiful …” she whispered as she walked, enjoying the late afternoon. She couldn’t wait to go home and wait for Alexander to return from the company.
As she walked along the sidewalk, a car suddenly stopped beside her.
“Huh?”
The window rolled down, and Ana immediately recognized the man as one of Alexander’s mens.
“Boss Alexander asked me to pick you up and take you to the apartment,” the man said. Ana nodded.
She got into the car. For some reason, there was a slight disappointment in her heart, it wasn’t Alexander who came to pick her up.
The luxury car then drove off.
Without to Anastasya and Alexander’s men known, someone disguised as a street cleaner was watching her.
After seeing Anastasya get into the luxury car, the man immediately reported it to his boss.
“So that girl is more interesting than I thought. Who would have guessed she has close ties with the Harold heir and also the owner of that luxury car …”
“Hmmm.”
The man smirked sharply and ordered an investigation into the owner of the luxury car that had just picked up Anastasya.
