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 seat!”- he continued.
Facing this attitude, Annie felt a little pressured.
Dustin looked at her for a while and was about to say something, but when facing her eyes, suddenly he didn't know what to say.
“What’s wrong with you? Is there something on my face?”- she asked.
Dustin shook his head and continued eating his breakfast.
It wasn't until Annie finished eating that her husband asked her, his voice was so soft:
"Are you busy today?"
“Yes.” Annie took a tissue and said: “I have an important meeting today, it’s kind of urgent.”
What was the matter with him? Why was he suddenly asking her like that? That’s so weird.
But then, Annie realized that she needed to deal with a lot of documents, she quickly ran upstairs, grabbed a stack of papers, and quickly went to the office.
Annie was driving while calling assistant Steve:
"Michael will come to discuss about the project soon, and at seven o'clock tomorrow morning, Joyce of PT workshop will also come.”-said Steve.
“Well, I’m thinking about making Micheal get stood up.”
“...What do you mean? Are you kidding?”-he confused.
“Yeah, just kidding haha, why do I have to do that? I’m always polite!.”
…
It was ten o'clock.
Now, on the twelfth floor of the FC group, Annie was sitting on a chair, sipping a cup of tea. She was waiting for some special guests. And they arrived on time. Steve was knocking on the door:
"Manager Annie, Mr. Micheal is here."
“Come in, please!”- said Annie.
Annie put her teacup on the table and adjusted her face. Then the door slowly opened, assistant Truong and two more people walked in. Annie stood up and smiled:
“Nice to meet you, Micheal!”
“Yeah, it’s my pleasure!.”- said Micheal.
“We are all here, so can we discuss our project now?”- Annie asked the man.
“Yes, of course, I don’t want to waste your time.”
They sat down and started to discuss the upcoming project. Looking at the plan from Vinwind, she felt that her employees were still lacking too much. They need to work harder.
Annie read the plan carefully and finally shook her head. She put it on the table:
"This plan is very detailed. However, I am not interested in the project of your company. I’m so sorry for that."
Micheal even was not angry, he just smiled:
"But aren't you intending to transfer the development direction of FC? I think this project is very suitable for your requirements right now. Believe me, my company is always prestigious.”
“Yeah, I know that.”- she said.
“Unfortunately, you’re information is not accurate anymore. It’s the truth that I intended to change the direction of our business. But that was the past, I have a new direction now. And… I just want to say… I’m so sorry but we can’t cooperate this time. Thank you so much for coming here!”- she continued.
“Alright…Maybe we don't have the grace to cooperate. Thank you for spending time with me. I’ll try to create more projects that can interest you.”
“Okay, I’m waiting for your news! Sorry for wasting your time. I hope one day we can cooperate on an interesting project.”
“I hope so…”- said the man.
Then they shook hands and said goodbye to each other.
When ensuring that Micheal had left, Annie told steve to investigate Vinwind's foreign partner and report back to her.
“But for what? You don’t want to cooperate with his company, then you told me to investigate his company? Don’t say that you want to sabotage his business.”- Assitant Steve wondered.
“Yeah… You’re right!”- said Annie.
Although he knew that his boss is crafty, he still have to complete the mission.
Being an assistant, he doesn’t have other choices…
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
Fifteen minutes later…Annie was listening to the voice coming from the phone.“He used me as bait, wanting to lure you into the trap he laid out…”“Dustin said he chose me because I look like your ideal type.”“He wants to destroy your career…”Annie had this record because she forced Justin to reveal everything. Turns out, the rich are so interesting…This time, the divorce will not be so simple anymore.She stood up, put the money on the table, then left.Just when walking out of the door, Annie was hit by someone. Looking at a familiar man running past, she felt so strange and decided to follow him.The man ran into an alley, tried to avoid people's eyes, then he started to open the camera. Looking at the pictures, he showed a satisfied smile. He's about to get rich, really, he's going to be rich.“Hey, you've been exposed, haven't you? How can Dustin still hire you?” A hand rested on the man's shoulder, and a terrifyingly familiar voice slowly resounded. The man shook his head, w
