Chapter: CHAPTER 68“What happened? Don’t I look good in this dress?” Anna asked nervously. It was the first time in her life that Anna had worn a golfing outfit. “Oh no, ma’am, not at all,” Patrick replied instantly, trying to make her feel comfortable. “This dress suits you perfectly. And look at the skirt—it's matching sir’s outfit exactly. Honestly, it looks like both of you are wearing coordinated outfits, like a cute couple.” Patrick finally said what had been on his mind, flashing a wide grin. Both Anna and Mark shot him a sharp look, and Patrick immediately fell silent. At the moment, Anna was wearing a white one-piece dress. The upper half, with collars, looked like a half-sleeved polo shirt, while the lower half had a pleated skirt attached to it. However, Patrick’s comment about her outfit matching Mark’s didn’t sit well with her at all. The skirt barely reached her knees. The white color looked striking against her fair skin. Her long black hair was tied into a high ponytail,

Chapter: CHAPTER 67Anna was sitting in her class at that moment, her entire attention fixed toward the front. Special classes had been announced for the day, and the Dean himself was taking the lecture. Naturally, the classroom was completely packed. Except for the Dean’s voice, no other sound could be heard. Suddenly, a loud song blared through the room, making all the students jump at once. “Girl, you’re beautiful, you’ve stolen my heart…” Anna looked around in panic. Every single person in the class was staring straight at her. Oh God, she thought. I always put my phone on silent before coming to class. And of course, the call had to come today—the one day I forgot. Everyone’s gaze felt like needles piercing into her. Anna felt like digging a hole in the ground and burying herself right then and there , Leslie who was sitting beside her, nudged her elbow urgently, signaling her to silence the phone. Flustered, Anna pulled her phone out of her bag. The name “Crazy Person” was flashing on t

Chapter: CHAPTER 66Worried about the meeting being canceled, Patrick began speaking without thinking. “Sir, can you please stop all this childish talk and listen to me seriously for a moment? Sir, we’re not talking about just any ordinary company here. We’re talking about Pre-Eminent Properties. Businessmen all over the world are ready to pay any price to work with this company. Yes, I know you are in no way less than Mr. Vicky Roy—but right now, he is the only one who can get us property in the city center. “Sir, you know very well how much benefit our business will gain if we get that property. And you’re willing to let go of such a huge opportunity over such a small thing? Sir, you know this too—according to me, you are the hottest and most handsome man in the world. If only I had even one percent of your looks, I would at least get a little attention from a couple of girls. Do you really think a small injury can ruin your beautiful face? Well, that’s impossible, sir.” Pausing briefly to catch

Chapter: CHAPTER 65“So, you pretended to faint. You were conscious the whole time, weren’t you?” The moment Anna said that, the color drained from Mark’s face. But he couldn’t afford to let her see the truth—that everything had been an act, staged only to trouble her. Masking his reaction instantly, he straightened and replied in a firm, controlled voice. “Your imagination is far too powerful,” he said coolly. “Who made you a fashion designer? You should’ve been a writer. You spin stories beautifully.” Leaning closer, he gently patted her cheeks and met her eyes with a dangerously charming smile. “Here’s a free piece of advice—don’t think about me too much. I enter girls’ hearts and minds very easily… and hack them. Later, you’ll be the one suffering.” Anna stood frozen, like a statue carved out of shock. Mark turned away with a faint smile and made his way back toward the stairs. A fall from such a height couldn’t go without consequences. Every step sent a sharp pain through his body, and c

Chapter: CHAPTER 64If she had known this would happen here, she would never have tried to snatch the sketch from his hand. She was angry at herself now. Filling her wide eyes with tears, she looked at Mark again. And for a moment, it seemed to her as if a slight smile had spread across Mark's face. Slightly startled, she looked at him once more. But this was probably her delusion. Mark was still unconscious. This time, Anna patted his cheeks a little harder. But Mark did not move. "Oh my God! What do I do? What do I do now?" Anna thought, collapsing completely and placing her hands on the floor. But she quickly composed herself and, wiping her tears, tried to remember how to give first aid to a patient in such a situation. Anna immediately got up and went to the couch nearby, bringing back the largest pillow from there. She placed the pillow under Mark's legs so that his feet remained higher than his head. After this, she started unbuttoning Mark's shirt so that he could breathe easily. Although her

Chapter: CHAPTER 63Seeing Mark step forward and hold her hand gave Anna a lease of life. But before she could even breathe a sigh of relief, Mark's own balance was lost. The stairs had very rough tiles. The mere thought of breaking her hands and legs made Anna tightly close her eyes. However, she didn't feel much pain while falling because, before she hit the ground, Mark had turned and pushed her behind him. He had tightly wrapped Anna in his arms and covered her head well with his hands. He was quite aware that falling from these stairs wouldn't affect him much, but Anna could get seriously hurt, and he absolutely did not want that. There must have been only about 16 steps on the staircase. But as Anna fell, it felt to her as if she had fallen from an unknown height, and the stairs seemed endless. When the stairs finally ended, and they both tumbled down onto the floor, only then did Anna breathe a sigh of relief. She was still in Mark's arms. At this moment, she was lying on top of Mark, trying to
