Chapter 69 The Shoes Are Broken
Robin was stunned for a moment, and he was amused.
He didn’t expect that Anaya would be so humorous.
“I’m talking about the woman who left your house that night when Bryant and you were in conflict.”
Anaya naturally knew who he was talking about. “Did Bryant ask you to come here?”
Robin nodded. “That person is very important to Bryant. If you know about her, please tell me.”
“I have nothing to tell.”
It meant she did know who that woman was.
Robin tried to persuade her, “Anaya, Bryant has been looking for Shiloh for two years. In two years, he has searched almost every place in America.
“I know that you’re angry with Bryant because of his behavior, but this matter…”
“Bryant searched every place in America to find Shiloh,” Anaya interrupted him, “But have you ever wondered why Shiloh was so desperately avoiding him?”
Robin only knew that Bryant was looking for Shiloh everywhere, and Shiloh had once been his girlfriend
And he had no idea about other things.
However, judging from Anaya’s attitude, Robin guessed that Bryant had done something guilty to
let Shiloh down.
He shook his head honestly. “Bryant didn’t tell me about it.”
Anaya did not like to criticize others behind their backs, so she did not explain to him. She only
said, “Please go back and tell Bryant that I won’t reveal anything about Shiloh to him.
“And it seems that she does not want to see him again.”
Seeing that she was unwilling to tell the truth, Robin did not insist and left.
Anaya was about to return to Adams’s side when Albert walked towards her.
‘Ms. Duti, here’s a phone call for you.”
He handed her cell phone over and Anaya glanced at it.
It was a call from Hearst
The phone rang for a long time, and it was automatically hung up, so Anaya called him back.
Soon, Hearst answered the phone, asking, “Are you free now?”
“What is it?
I’m outside your house.”
“I’m not at home. It’s my grandfather’s birthday today, so I went back to the Dutt’s house.”
“I’m at the entrance of the Dutt’s house.”
“What is it. Hearst?”
“I’ve prepared a gift for your grandfather.”
Anaya hesitated for a moment, then said, “Please wait a moment. I’ll be there.”
She put away her phone, then walked out of the crowd, passing by the fountain and the newly trimmed lawn and arriving at the main entrance.
Beside the black Bugatti stood a gentleman.
Hearst looked at Anaya with a gentle expression as she approached.
“Since you‘re here, why don’t you go in?” Anaya stopped in front of him and asked.
Hearst replied indifferently, “I was not invited.”
Anaya then realized something.
Frank did not know Hearst, so of course, he wouldn’t send him an invitation
Hearst handed her the gift in his hand. “It’s a birthday gift for your grandfather.”
Anaya took it and opened it for a look.
Inside the antique box was a bracelet with a glass cover.
Strange words were engraved on the bracelet, which looked ancient and mysterious.
Where did you buy it from?”
“From a friend.”
Anaya did not ask more. “Do you want to come in?”
Since Hearst was there, it would be rude for her not to invite him in
“Is it appropriate?”
“Of course, let’s go.”
“Alright.”
Anaya turned and left. After taking two steps, her body suddenly tilted.
She lowered her head.
Her right shoe was stuck in the drainage canal.
Shit.
She pulled it a few times.
The shoe was so good in quality that it was not broken.
But Anaya couldn’t pull it out.
Hearst’s chuckle came from behind her. Hearing it, Anaya blushed.
That was so embarrassing.
Anaya pulled her feet out of her shoes and squatted down to deal with the shoe.
Finally, the lid of the drainage canal was pulled up by her.
Anaya was speechless.
It was the first time that she had been so embarrassed in her life.
She decided to give up on this shoe.
Anaya tried her best to maintain her composure, stood up, and smiled at Hearst, “Mr. Helms, could
you please help me back?”
She couldn’t show any trace of embarrassment at the moment.
Hearst did not tease her, but replied, “Sure.”
He walked over and held her right hand.
Anaya jumped a few steps with one foot,
Suddenly, a sound appeared
The heel of her left foot was broken.
Anaya twisted her ankle and threw herself into Hearst’s arms.
She heard him laugh again.
She felt so ashamed.
It seemed that the quality of the shoes was not that good.
Hearst asked her, “Can you walk by yourself?”
Anaya tried to move her feet.
A heart-wrenching pain came.
“I don’t think so.”
Hearst suggested, “Do you want me to carry you in?”
Anaya hesitated for a while and nodded. “Let’s take the path of fewer people. The house has a back door.”
The path was paved with stone, and if she jumped barefoot, her right foot would be crippled.
“Alright.”
He held her waist with one hand and her leg with the other, carrying her easily.
Anaya had seen the surveillance video of Night Pub, and he had hugged her like this last time.
It was so easy for him to do so.
She looked up at him and suddenly asked, “Have you never been in love before?”
Hearst answered honestly, “Yes.”
Anaya continued, “At a time like this, the sudden movement makes people touched.”
“So you are teaching me to chase after you?”
Anaya kept silent
The laughter came again. She was held by him and felt the trembling of his chest.
It was the first time that Anaya had seen him smile so many times in such a short time.
Perhaps he didn’t even need to learn any flirting techniques.
He was a walking hormone himself.
Anaya lowered her head and whispered, “Hurry up. Don’t let anyone see us.”
“Okay.”
Hearst said with a smile.
Anaya buried deeper into his arms.
Hearst walked along the path that Anaya had pointed out and went smoothly.
When they came from the back door to the second floor, Joshua saw them.
He pursed his lips and glared at them with a darkened face.
‘Anaya, how dare you flirt with another man on the birthday banquet of your grandfather,” Joshua tried hard to suppress his anger and said.
Hearing the words, Anaya looked at Joshua’s cold eyes. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
If Anaya bumped into someone else, she might be nervous and worried that she might ruin
Hearst’s reputation.
But it was Joshua. That was a different case.
In Joshua’s eyes, she and Hearst were both despicable, so what did she have to worry about?
Anaya asked Hearst to put herself down, stepped on the smooth floor with one foot, stood firmly against the wall, and asked leisurely, “Did you see I’m flirting with him?”
Joshua sneered, “Weren’t you preparing to enter the room to have sex?”
,
“My shoes are broken. Can’t I go back to my room to change shoes?”
“No one would believe in such a lame excuse.”
Joshua had been paying attention to Anaya when he was in the hall. He saw her leave after she answered a call
She had left for half an hour,
What had Anaya been doing for the past half hour…
Joshua looked at Hearst next to Anaya and clenched his fists.
Believe it or not, it’s up to you ‘Anaya wouldn’t try to explain since it never worked, so she didn’t
intend to waste any more time talking to him. Then she said to Hearst. “My room is the one behind
him. Let’s go.”
Hearst nodded and helped her pass Joshua
Joshua gritted his teeth and suddenly reached out to pull Anaya back
