Annalia did nothing but gaze at Adam for a few moments before she realized that Antonio had noticed her preoccupation with something else and abruptly switched the focus of her attention.Anna cleared her throat and muttered "A-ahm" before pulling her hand from Antonio's palm."Well, would you like to join me?" She asks him while doing her best to ignore the icy glare that Adam is sending her."Sure," was Marcel's response. Annalia asked them to walk ahead of her before she did. She attempted to glance at Adam, but it was too late—he had already disappeared. The Delatorre were shown to their table by Donovan, standing right next to her at the time."Ann?""Yes?""What are you doing? Let's go," Don said. The only thing Annalia did was nod her head before she followed them.Fortunately, their father grabbed Marcel and Antonio for a chat, so she wouldn't have to deal with them for the time being. Annalia is tense for no apparent reason—no, she is nervous. And she doesn't know why. Anna
"Cut!" "Annalia, come here," said the director. They have just begun filming their newest movie. This is the first day of production. Annalia is, as is her usual routine, extremely busy with work. "Yes?" "This scene right here. I want you to show as much affection toward the male lead! It seems as though you're unsure whether or not to kiss him," the director scolded. Annalia heaves a sigh and bobs her head in agreement. Since the encounter with Adam, Annalia has had trouble concentrating since the beginning of filming. She used to be very professional in her job, but she feels a little hesitant being intimately close to someone of the other sex at this moment. Annalia responded with a simple "Okay, noted." "Okay! Let's get back in position. Chop-chop!" After a little break, Annalia reappeared at the scene. Her partner, Lorence, gave her a reassuring grin as if he were trying to console Anna. "Hey, it's okay. You don't need to kiss me as much as you have been. Just show some si
Because Adam is a jerk and lacks professionalism, Anna has no choice but to drive herself to the restaurant where she and Antonio will meet. She is unable to wrap her head around how audacious Adam was to behave in such a manner with her. God! After what he's done, he's definitely getting fired.When she enters, a group of bodyguards gathers in front of the restaurant's entrance. Annalia shortly jumped from her car in the parking lot. This restaurant is impressive, and the parking lot does not have to be accessed from the street, which is convenient for high-profile guests like her. As soon as the bodyguards caught sight of Annalia, they made their way toward Anna, ushering and directing her inside the restaurant. Annalia noticed that Antonio was standing there and staring at her with the tiniest smile on his face, although his rugged facial aspect was still very evident.Antonio welcomed Anna by saying, "Hello, Ms. Davis," while extending his arm and opening his palm in a way that s
When they arrived at the nearest hospital, Annalia quickly unbuckled her seatbelt and prepared to leave the car. However, Adam unexpectedly seized her and prevented her from leaving."No. There are still quite a few people inside, and the situation is extremely precarious, given that the offender of the shooting has not been caught," Adam gasped in pain and hissed due to the wound he got."No, Adam. It's okay. We have no choice but to bring you inside so that the bullet lodged in your arm can be extracted," Anna harped on him. But Adam did nothing more than shake his head and groan at the pain in his arm."Have you given Don a call?""Yes. Don is on his way," Annalia responded with a worried tone. Adam merely nods before leaning his head back on the car seat. Because Adam's face was visibly pale, which caused him to suddenly lose consciousness, Anna rushed over to him."Hey, hey. Look at me. Adam, wake up. I need you to stay with me. I'll leave the car and help you find your way int
"What...what are you doing here?" Adam is taken aback upon first sighting Annalia in front of his home. He then immediately wears his sando shirt, looking at Anna in surprise. How did she get to know his address in the first place? "I believe I heard you were released from the hospital on your own accord. So, I came over to see if... if everything is going well for you," while Annalia spoke, her attention was drawn to the arm sling Adam wore. "Don't worry, I was the one who went through your document to find your address since Don...won't tell me." She continues clenching her knuckles to stop the electric vibration in her palms. The realization that her presence here may cause Adam to become irate has caused her anxiety and fear. It took him some time to react while Anna's gaze remained focused on the arm sling that Adam was wearing. The young man makes her feel too ashamed to stare at him, so she avoids doing so. Fuck! She is now feeling both regret and a sense of realization. Don h
As Adam saw Annalia place the meat in the frying pan, he commented, "You really are a good cook." Annalia offered to make him dinner before she planned to leave his house. Adam mentioned to her that he hadn't eaten anything until this evening, which was now eight o'clock. Since there were no cooks or even a maid to take care of him, Anna couldn't say she blamed him. After all, there was no one else here to do it. Also, Annalia asks Adam if he can simply order his people outside to get him food, but he refuses to do so, noting that even if there is food, he can't eat properly due to the wound to his arm. "I learned," is all Annalia has to say in response. Adam stands up and walks toward the refrigerator before he leans against it and turns his head to properly look at her. Adam examined Annalia from her feet all the way up to her face, thinking to himself how stunningly gorgeous she was. Adam caught a lumpy, dry, taut skin on her neck as he continued to stare at her. With a frown, he
"Where did you sleep last night? You actually went to Adam, didn't you? I warned you that it was perilous!" Following Don's preaching, Annalia lets out a deep sigh and rolls her eyes while giving him the side eye. They have arrived at the location where the next set of shots will be taken. To her great relief, she arrived at the company at just the right moment. While traveling from Adam's residence to the workplace, Annalia had severe anxiety because she knew perfectly well that she would be late for the shooting. What can she say; she lucked out. Speaking of Adam, he made the point that he needed a day off before going back to work, and Anna was more than happy to give her approval of his decision. Adam was the one who cooked for them when they had breakfast earlier, and he was the one who made it. Annalia was astounded to see Adam moving around deftly in the kitchen, even though his wound had not yet healed. He assured her that he was feeling absolutely well and that it was not in
Silas and Donovan headed to Annalia's penthouse to provide the clothing she would wear to the dinner later tonight. She puts on her platform stiletto heels and her ruched chain dress with a crisscross tie backless and split thigh halter dress after she has completed applying her makeup and putting on all of her accessories. And with that, she is finished. Since Adam is still not here, and Silas has already visited the Delatorre at the venue, Don offered to be the one to drive her to the restaurant on his own. Annalia intended to ask Don whether or not Adam would be present, but she thought that the topic might make him curious and weirded out. When Anna and Donovan arrived at the restaurant, there were no people, which confused her. Is this exclusive for them? Donovan assists Annalia in stepping out of the car, and while she is doing so, she rests her hand on Donovan's forearm and looks around the restaurant. This location is enormous, exudes an air of luxury, and radiates grandeur
