Annalia sneered at him as she rolled her eyes and said, "You don't need to come here, you know." Adam did nothing more than give her the side-eye while he ignored her complaints. Annalia stared at him in shock, as she could not believe how shameless he was to behave in such a manner. As far as she is aware, this is her penthouse and allowing anyone, much less Adam is not an option under any circumstances. God! Anna adds to Adam, "You can place the paper bag on the table before you leave." Anna then retrieves her robe from the couch. She completely forgot that she had left it there. Now, Adam is going around the apartment, inspecting all of the nooks and crannies of the space, and occasionally furrowing his brows, especially when he spots the long floor windows on the side of the room. What the hell is wrong with him, seriously? "Hey, are you paying attention to what I'm saying?" "Why are your windows open to such a huge extent?" Adam ponders with a concerned expression, "someone migh
“Ma’am? Are you okay? We'll start after 10 minutes." When she was called by the staff, Anna promptly returned to reality. She was unaware that her thoughts had already reached an excessively profound level. Since yesterday, Annalia has started acting in this manner. After what had happened, she found that she couldn't even look at Adam without directly thinking that he was a bad guy and a criminal. However, he reasoned that the man wasn't actually dead, but he had been shot so they could interrogate him first before Adam decided to end his life. Anna wasn't sure if Adam was being serious about it, but she was under the impression that the person in question was still alive. That gave her some cause for relief, at least. Yet, Annalia is still utterly concerned and has a lot of questions regarding the situation. She asked Adam multiple times what was going on and why they had attempted to kill the man. But he would not respond to any of her queries at all. It's almost as if he's hidi
"What are you talking about? Your what?" Don inquired once more, which was the seventh time he'd done so. After learning that Caroline and Adam are dating, Anna remains quiet throughout the conversation. Although Caroline may not be aware of it, it appears that she was serious about it. Annalia feels a twinge of pain in her heart but pushes it to the back of her mind. Isn't that what she has in mind for herself? Annalia has always desired to be apart from Adam and now possesses a sufficient reason for doing so. However, Adam did not mention anything at all. Is he playing her in any way? Gosh! She finds it so unbearably irritating—not because Adam has a lover, but because Annalia allowed herself to be seduced by him. She might be getting messed up by destiny again. Hell. “Why? Is there something wrong with that?" Don stealthily glances at Annalia as though he were trying to convey something to her about it. “No! Nothing.” Caroline, Don, and Silas spent some time in the office, chatti
When Adam first walked through the door of the company, the mood immediately changed for the worst. Even though Adam is staring at Annalia with such fervor that it seems he is staring into her body and soul, she dares not to look at him. Especially after learning that Caroline and Adam are in a relationship, it was disturbing to see Caroline cuddling Adam. Now that Adam has arrived, Annalia is at a loss for what to do with herself. What exactly is it that she needs to do? What should she say to Caroline when I tell her that her boyfriend is just playing with her? Honestly, this is really annoying. She smiles at Antonio as she raises her head to gaze at him and whispers something to him. "Let's go?" Antonio did not display any emotion but only nodded his head in agreement. As soon as Adam realized they were getting ready to go, he promptly let go of Caroline. "Where are you going?" Adam asks, glancing at Annalia. Caroline casts a puzzled look in her direction as she looks at her. Damn
When Annalia and Adam arrived at the company, the tension that had been building up between them intensified. They made no attempt to converse with each another and simply stood there, allowing the other to feel the cold. Anna is even more irritated by him now. Anna may despise Caroline, but she is not a bitch who would want to take Adam from her. Annalia can't stop thinking about the best way to explain the relationship between her and Adam. Because of this, Anna is doing everything in her power to steer clear of him. Even though doing so causes some unexplainable twitch of pain in her heart. In addition, Anna does not consider Adam to be one of her top priorities at the moment. Adam stated, "Mr. Santiago is patiently awaiting your arrival." Anna did little more than nod her head and then went ahead of Adam. As he was walking in the opposite direction, she overheard him let out a drawn-out sigh. This is likely the last time Anna will have any involvement with Adam. No matter what t
Annalia tries to regain her composure by clearing her throat and straightening her back. Adam's expression suggested he was confused about why she was behaving in such a way. He stared at her with a frown. "Are you okay?" Adam asked. Annalia only gives a slight nod of her head before turning her attention to the treadmill. She lets out a gasp as it is still moving at rapid speed. Fuck! Before she even lets out a long sigh, Annalia s quick to switch it off. So, what should we do now? God! She yearns to return to her house. Annalia was able to catch a glimpse of Adam as he was picking up the dumbbells, and she saw that he was shaking his head. While Anna releases the breath that had been caught in her throat, he has returned to the other side of the room to continue his workout. Even though she was making an effort to be quiet, she could still hear a very loud hammering in her chest. After a while, Annalia decided to continue her workout routine, and she is currently focusing on workou
"Are you sure everything is okay? We can simply reschedule the appointment so you can relax," Don remarked worriedly. They are now in Don's office preparing their next move, which will take place in three days. Annalia recently learned that Marcel's restaurant will launch its doors in a few short days. She already has a clear picture of what will take place on that day. Since the previous evening, Annalia has been working on putting together her game plan. She pondered the various things she could do to cover their tracks so that Marcel wouldn't observe what they were doing. For the time being, all she needs to do is elaborate further on these intentions for Don and Silas. "I'm fine, Don. It hasn't swollen up too much, "Annalia promised. After Adam had brought Annalia to the S.S. company, he insisted on placing her in a wheelchair to prevent the swelling in her legs from becoming even more severe. However, Annalia promptly declined it and decided to rely on the personnel working insi
"What on earth do you think you are doing? Let go." The demand came from Annalia. Adam was muttering something incomprehensible to her as his hand was busy trying to divert her attention away from the reality that he had no business being there in the first place. "I want you." The unexpected outburst from Adam causes Annalia's eyes to widen, as though the statement shouldn't have been made under such circumstances. She takes a few breaths as she feels Adam's bulge prodding her abdomen; although she tried to ignore it, it was distracting. Additionally, Annalia is affected by this! "No. Let go now, Adam. I will accompany you to your room. God, you stink," Annalia groaned while making an effort to appear as though the situations in which she found herself had no effect on her. Even though they may have progressed a great deal further, Anna is not going to allow Adam to have another shot at beating her in this non-existent relationship with him. She is making an effort to avoid him! "
