A few hours ago…
In the office, Annie sat on a chair, holding detailed reports about Vinwind and the PT workshop.
Assistant Steve stood beside to report:
“Vinwind and the PT workshop are on a real estate project contract, it is a chain of interconnected hotels. In addition, the PT workshop is also intending to shake hands with your husband’s company- SC Tech to enhance their position as well as expand the market.”
Annie turned the report over and then she asked: "Did the PT workshop have any grudge against us?"
Assistant Steve did not know what his manager was referring to, but he was still calm:
"No, they did not.”
"Is that so ..." Annie threw the report on the desk.
"Inform them that the project is suspended this time."- she continued.
“What? Are you sure? Why do we have to stop this project? Is it going very well?”- Steve was shocked when hearing the announcement.
“You don’t need to know about the reason, just do exactly what I did say? If the shareholders have any idea, tell them to come here to see me.”- said Annie.
Steve wanted to say something, but when he saw his manager’s steadfastness, he decided to keep silent.
Annie did not care about Steve, she was too busy with all the documents, information, and so on…
All the employees also felt the pressure but they couldn't do anything. They still had so many documents and the deadline to deal with, they didn’t have enough time to take some rest also…
Finally, under all efforts, the employees successfully proposed to Steve to report to the manager. They couldn’t stand it anymore!
Assistant Steve also knew that forcing employees to work too much will make them want to quit the job. That can affect this company a lot, so he asked Annie to let the staff stop working on time.
When hearing that requirement, Annie thought for two seconds, then she decided to satisfy the request.
…
Now, Annie was standing in the bathroom, thinking about the problem that Steve had said to her. Suddenly, she splashed the water on her face, forcing herself to stay awake. Looking at the beautiful girl in the mirror, she felt regret. She has a pretty face, she is talented, and she has everything that a businesswoman has, but she couldn’t find true love. Her marriage is terrible, everything is just for money, and she never feels happy even for a second.
Her thoughts shifted from work to her beauty and finally turned to dinner today. Then she couldn’t remember what she was thinking at first.
After that, she dried her hair with a towel and stood on the side of the bed, looking over at the furniture which had been thrown on the bed. She sat on the bed, pulled the computer, and continued to deal with the remaining work.
Annie was looking for some information about her partner, she felts something wrong… Annie looked at the information on the computer. She read carefully all the information about the designer that the owner had collaborated with, then relieved. This information is almost useless. It was just about some interviews.
Annie put the computer aside and lay down on the bed. Her mind had all kinds of thoughts, but they all drifted away. She did not understand why Bella chose this brand. Although it is very famous, Bella must have a reason to sign with this brand, because FC Group is also…
Annie thought for a moment, suddenly discovering something. That's right, this is a very famous brand, FC group is, just in the beginning of development, so it is very hard to trade with these famous brands.
Cam Y began to search for some memories, but she discovered… she didn't have any memories of the owner. She glanced at the phone over there and intended to ask the system, but as soon as she picked it up, someone knocked on the door.
“Who is that?”- she asked.
“It’s me!”- said the butler.
“Mr. Dustin wants to meet you now. Please go to his room!”-he continued.
Annie thought for a bit and then she said:
“Alright! Let’s go!”
They went through a hallway and then to a room at the end of the second floor. The butler opened the door, bowed politely, and said:
"Madam, please."
Annie looked around the room until she saw Dustin sitting in the office. She slowly walked into the room. Dustin was still busy with work, he just constantly typing on the computer, completely oblivious to Annie. The atmosphere in the room became so quiet that Annie just wanted to get out.
Damn it! Damn it!
“Hey, hey. you called me here for what, I stood here for a very long time and you didn’t tell me any words! What’s wrong with you? I’m so busy, you know! Please hurry up and then let me go!” - thought Annie.
“Take a seat! Why are you just standing there?”- said Dustin.
“Alright, I can wait, just tell me what you want.”
“Take a seat! This is going to be long! I’m still busy now so… I’m afraid you have to wait…”
Annie didn’t think much but went to the sofa nearby.
After a very long time, Dustin finished his work, he saw Annie was in the land of Nod. He turned down the computer, went to the sofa, sat down, and asked: "Are you okay?"
Suddenly he was startled. Why does he have to worry for her? This wasn’t him.
Annie nodded but then shook her head.
“Hm… No, I’m ok, I’m good!”
“If you are sleepy, go back to your room. We’re going to talk later!”
“No…No, look at me! I’m still awake!.”
Dustin sighed, patted her head, and then said:
"Listen to me! Go back to sleep. We can talk tomorrow, ok!"
Right now.
Annie was sitting on the bed holding the computer, talking to the system, she looked calm and comfortable, completely no longer looking as tired as before.
[Why did you tell a lie?]- the system suddenly asked. But Annie didn’t reply.
She threw the phone aside…
Outside, the moonlight shone brightly, and the wind blew, making the curtains up and fly, drawing a beautiful curve. The street lights flashing from outside made the pitch-black space in the room become a bit of a freak...
The result of staying up late was that the next morning, Annie felt very tired. She looked at the mirror and found herself turned pale. This couldn’t be her! Impossible! Annie really admired Bella’s ability and her health. This’s only one night! If she keeps doing like this, she can even die.” Annie took a deep breath, sat down at the dressing table, and began to dress up. She tried to use powder to hide the exhaustion and boredom under her eyes. After getting ready, she went downstairs to have breakfast. As soon as she got there, she was startled by her husband's appearance. “Hm…Aren't you going to work today?" Anyway, Dustin really doesn’t like to wait for anyone. Just when finishing his work, he will leave immediately. But today, he was sitting here to have breakfast with his wife, there was only one case: he had a day off. “Yeah… I have time today, I mean… I worked very hard so I just need to relax.”- said Dustin. “Don't I still have to go to work today? Come here! Take a
Annie was in the room. She closed the door and checked the two windows. She laid down on the sofa, talking to the system:“Hey, hey, tell me, what was that announcement?” If you don’t give me the answer, I’ll quit.”The screen lighted up, a message appeared on the phone:[Wait, wait, I can explain…]A few hours ago…Before manager Michael came, Annie was still sitting in the room, talking to the system.[Hello lovely Annie, you have 1079 days 25887 hours 1553220 minutes 93193200 seconds to complete the task. Try your best! Good luck!]Annie was about to ask when manager Micheal came, she had to start her meeting in confusion about the announcement.“Hey! Hurry ap! I’m so curious right now! I can’t wait anymore…”[It's like this... your mission has a limited time. If the task is not completed on time, you will fail. The time limit is three years.]Annie was very angry, she continued to poke the screen: "Tell me, why don’t you announce me sooner?”[I’m so sorry, that’s just a system err
Annie was staring at the phone, waiting for an explanation from the system. But she wasted her time waiting, the system had no intention of explaining it to her. Finally, she gave up and decided to ask first:“Hey, tell me how can I use that five-star lucky bag? I’m so curious right now!”[The amount of money that the five-star lucky bag provides will be enough for you to live for the rest of your life, so you don’t need to worry about that! Understand?]- said the system.“Yah! I got it.”Annie sat on the sofa thinking about something, at the same time, assistant Steve brought her some necessary documents. So, now she turned her attention to the documents.“Micheal manager is not a normal person, he has outstanding ability and long experience in this industry. And I’ve heard a rumor that people used to think that he couldn’t be successful in Vinwind.”- Steve said.Annie: “Do you know exactly when it was?”Steve: “Three years ago.”“I think his career can’t grow so rapidly like that, t
“Bella, what do you mean by looking at me like that?”- said Nancy. It turns out, that Annie was looking at her with cold eyes which scared her a bit. "Uhm... Alright! Forget that! I'm just worried for you... your dress is dirty and... I'm so sorry for that!" "Never mind! That's my dress and I don't need your care. I mean... people like you who always try to harm others."- said Annie. "What...what do you mean? You mean that I intentionally poured water on your dress?"- Nancy was a little panicked. "Nothing, I just wanted to remind you of something."- Annie smiled. There were many people gathered around, they pointed and talked about them. The way that Annie looked at Nancy, really scared her. "Bella! Bella!"-said, Dustin. His panicked voice startled Annie. "I'm here. What's wrong with you?" "Nothing... I'm just... what happens to your dress?" "Yeah... Don't worry about that! There is a lady who intentionally poured wine on me." "Who did?"- asked Dustin. He took off his coat
Then, he looked at Annie again: "Mrs.Bella, it's our fault, I hope you can forgive us."“This time?”- Annie glanced at the woman standing behind Micheal and smiled."Of course, this time and right here, I won't blame you. You know, I've always been generous!”“But I’m not sure about the future…”- she continued."Thank you, Bella."-Micheal let out a breath. Annie didn’t want to be here anymore, this party should be ended here. She looked for her husband, then walked towards him with a smile: "Honey, let's go home."Dustin looked at her expression, he could feel something wrong but he didn't know what to say…Annie and Dustin quickly got out of the palace. Before leaving, she did not forget to look at Nancy with provocation.You will never have Dustin. He is my husband and holding my divorce petition! Nancy was so angry at the same time… she believed she could take revenge on Bella.…Annie was sitting in the car, holding the phone, not paying attention to the surroundings. “Are you
Annie hasn't come home for 2 weeks, Dustin was very worried for her. Sometimes she didn’t come home or even came back very late. She even went straight upstairs, not even looking at his face. He felt extremely uncomfortable and angry. He also hired a stalker but it didn’t work, he couldn’t find anything strange because Annie only went to the office and shopping mall every day.He sometimes suspected his wife of adultery…But he didn’t know that man…The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, but he couldn't force himself to think differently.Dustin sat in the meeting room but his soul flew away. He was unable to hear what the people in the room said. Even when the assistant called, he couldn't pay attention to the meeting. It wasn't until the phone rang that he was startled, quickly grabbed the phone, and rushed out. When the assistant saw his boss like that, he could only sigh. Dustin cared so much about his wife, but always pretended that he would never love her…Rich people
Annie was sitting in the car, Assistant Steve was holding a tablet, watching the video that has just been received. Then he said: “Bella, why don't you expose them? Why do you have to take so much time to find out…”“You know… everything has its price.”-she said.The car continued to run...But right after that, Annie was attracted by the flickering light. Despite Steve's confusion, she quickly pulled over the car to the side of the road. “Wait for me here!."…In the alley, there was a man lying on the dirty ground, his body and clothes emitting a strange smell. A broken camera lay on the cold ground nearby and broken glass was scattered everywhere, reflecting faint rays of light from outside, hitting the wall and the man's face. A girl slowly walked in. She did not show her face. The atmosphere around is very gloomy. “Hey… don't be so sneaky! If you want to take photos, why don’t you take them directly?” Annie stepped on broken pieces of glass, and the crackling sound resounded.
Annie made an appointment with Justin at the restaurant where she saw him with his other lovely girlfriend.“You want to tell me something?”- he gasped.Annie has just ordered some dishes. “I don’t need a reason to meet you. I just miss my boy.”-she smiled.Justin was a bit surprised: "Bella, you've never been like this before... Is something wrong?" Annie was startled, her movements suddenly stiffened.She has no memory of Bella, so she couldn’t know exactly how the real Bella treats people, the system hasn’t mentioned it either…This time…If this guy could see that she was acting, that would be a mess.Annie tried to be calm, putting the cup of tea on the table and smiled: "Is there anything different? Shouldn't girls be more open and attractive? Don't you like me like this?”"No... not really." Justin was startled: "It’s just... not very familiar...""Yeah, that’s okay… You'll get used to it soon."-she said."So the purpose of our date today is just... to see me?" Looking at he
