Anna spent the rest of the afternoon studying some of her clients' cases. She buried herself deep in work, trying to forget about her conversation with Rachel. "Ma'am, it's almost closing time," Leane informed her. "You may wrap up and go home. I'm going to stay here for a while." Leane packed her things, and after saying her goodbyes, she left the office. A minute later, she was back at the office. "Ma'am," she called out. "Sir Dalton is waiting for you outside." Anna looked at her. "Okay, I'll be out in a minute. Thank you."Leane said her goodbyes once more and left the office. When she got out of the building, she saw Dalton waiting in front of his car. She approached him."Sir Dalton, Ma'am Anna will be out in a minute."Dalton thanked her, and after saying 'your welcome', she went to her own car.Leane burst out giggling when she got into her car. Sir Dalton was indeed very handsome. He was even more handsome up close. His features were quite manly and he was oozing with un
Anna and Rachel sat on opposite sides of a restaurant table. Their orders had already been served, and there was a plate full of food in front of each of them. "So, I heard that you were suing Khea." Rachel started. "Not me, Dalton." Anna replied. "Girl, why?" Anna explained all that had happened yesterday at her father's company. Rachel nodded at her every word, her eyes wide. "So," Rachel took a sip of her drink. "What's all this about Dalton driving you this morning?" Anna exploded at that. "I told you! The man lost his mind!" "Well, what happened after he dropped you off?" Anna looked at her in surprise. "You didn't see the photos? The media was in front of my building this morning." "I told you, I avoid the media! I only knew about Khea because the other models were talking about it." Rachel explained.Anna let out an exasperated sigh. "I don't know what Dalton is even thinking about. He insisted that I ride in his car earlier, and his reason for that wasn't eve
Anna and Dalton ended the breakfast after a bit more back and forth. Anna wiped her mouth and grabbed her bag. She walked to the garage, looking for her keys in her bag. Dalton strode behind her. When they reached the garage, Dalton walked past her, and opened his car. He stood in front of Anna, holding the car door open. Anna glanced wearily at him, before walking to her own car. "Let's use one car this time." Dalton said. Anna turned to look at him. "No." "Let's use my car." Dalton insisted. Anna heaved a sigh. "Why?" "To... to conserve fuel," said Dalton, scrambling for an answer. Anna was unbelieving. "Since when were you so concerned about fuels?" "Since you were so concerned about blueberries." Dalton shot back. Anna inhaled a shaky breath. Is this, she thought, what it means to be married? Can someone give her the five years back? She'd gladly suffer those cheating rumors once more than deal with Dalton right now! "Come on, Anna. Grandpa's proba
The next day, Anna woke up with Dalton's arm around her. She rose quietly, taking Dalton's arm off carefully. He insisted on staying in Anna's room last night. He didn't budge no matter how much Ann protested. In the end, Anna had to let him stay. She's going to deal with that later, but for now, she needed to get ready for work. When she stepped out of the bathroom, she saw Dalton getting ready inside her room. His shirt was unbuttoned, and his hair was still a bit wet. Anna grabbed her bag. She was already ready. She decided that she'll just grab breakfast on her way to work. Dalton eyed her from the mirror. He was fixing his collar when he saw Anna fixing her bag. His eyes drifted back to his reflection as he fixed his sleeves. "Are you not eating breakfast?" he asked. "No, I'll just grab one on my way to work." "Are you in a hurry?" Anna paused for a bit. "Not really." "Then stay for a while, I'll make you breakfast." Dalton walked past Anna out of the room.
The media was buzzing with news an hour later. The rising model, Khea, was getting sued! It was reported that she caused a commotion inside the Delgado Company, and tried to harm Anna Delgado-Guevarra. Dalton was present and threatened his supposed mistress, Khea, with a lawsuit. After five years, it had been proven that the cheating rumors will simply it: rumors! Ivan stood on one side of the Delgado building, in front of the cameras, he was telling them the events that had happened. "I normally wouldn't give out interviews like this for the sake of the Delgado family's privacy, but I'm just quite overjoyed for Ms. Anna!" he told the reporters. "So are we!" agreed the reporters. "Can you tell us more about what happened?" "Well, Khea tried to slap Ms. Anna so we had to remove her from the situation. After a while, Sir Dalton came and announced that he didn't know who Khea was! "We actually cheered when he said that. And then, he took Ms. Anna away. He was so gentl
Khea's mouth actually dropped. She slowly turned towards Anna. She's the daughter of Mr. Delgado? she thought. She turned around to look at the people around them. Then that means that they were referring to Anna earlier, not her. A staff member approached her. "Miss Khea, we will be pressing charges against you for not only causing a commotion inside a respectable establishment, but more so for antagonizing Ms. Anna.""Just wait for the official lawsuit. Since you dared to raise your hand towards Ms. Anna." Ivan added. Khea's face drained out of color from what she heard. "I-I... "she stammered. "Is there a way to settle this quietly?"The people glared at her. "No." Khea looked like she was about to cry, then she saw someone approaching them. Her face immediately lit up. She looked like salvation was coming to her. Selene hurriedly walked towards Khea, her heels thudding forcefully. "What is going on here? We are guests in this company. How dare you treat her like this!" She
