Annette blushed and covered her face. She looked at Connor with a hurt look.She said, "Connor, can we stop talking about this? We agreed on this, right?""Are you so disgusted about sleeping with me once? In your eyes, am I a bad man? Or do you really hate me so much?" Connor seemed to care about Annette's reaction.Annette said seriously, "I don't hate you, nor do I think you are a bad man. On the contrary, I think you are a very good man. I don't like the fact that I used you because another man hurt me. This has nothing to do with you."Connor looked at her and smiled."It's good that she doesn't hate you, but we need more than that. We need her love," Leo said in Connor's mind."By the way, I'll be discharged in the afternoon and go back to work," Annette said."No, you can't return to the company. You haven't recovered yet. You need more rest." Connor simply refused."You are so overbearing!" Annette looked at Connor with dissatisfaction. She said, "I'm not like you. I need to m
Annette quickly used her phone to check the company's forum. Then, she saw the post.She looked at Catherine from across the table.They looked at each other, and their eyes were full of resentment.Annette didn't know that Catherine was so despicable. Her affair was exposed. Was that an excuse to slander others?Amanda came back from outside at this time.She walked behind Annette and saw her looking at the phone.Amanda patted Annette on the shoulder and said, "Annette, come with me."Annette got up and followed her out.They went to the corridor where no one was around. Amanda said, "You saw the post just now. I'm afraid it will have a bad influence on you."Annette nodded and said, "I know.""I have reported this to Mr. Norman. The post will be deleted soon. So, don't think about it anymore, OK?" Amanda said.Annette took a deep breath and said, "It doesn't matter. I don't care what others say about me. Anyway, my temporary work is about to end."Annette forced a smile and continu
"Catherine."Annette thought for a moment and called Catherine's name.Catherine stopped and turned to look at Annette. There were still tears on her face."I will ask Austin if he has a position suitable for you in his company. I can introduce you to his company. Will you accept it?" Annette asked.Catherine was stunned for a moment. "Are you serious?"Annette nodded. "I will try my best. If it doesn't work, I will think of other ways.""Why do you want to help me?""Because I don't want to feel guilty.""Didn't you just say that you had a clear conscience?""Before I knew your situation, I hated what you did. After all, it is shameful to be a homewrecker. Though I couldn't agree with you about that, what you did for your family touched me. So, I am willing to help you."Catherine choked and looked at Annette gratefully.Annette looked at the bus coming from not far away and said, "I will leave now. I will call you when I have good news for you."Annette walked past Catherine and lef
"What if I insist on eating at your place?" Connor asked.After taking a sip of water, Annette said calmly, "Then you are leaving me no choice but to move.""Do you think that I won't be able to find you after you move? Don't underestimate me." Connor snorted."What I meant is that you aren't someone who will cause trouble for others, right?"Connor looked at Annette in front of him.Annette had a harmless smile on her face. "Besides, I have to go for training. I'll be very busy. I don't want to waste my precious time in the kitchen."Connor could accept her explanation, but he was just unhappy."Then let's make a deal. You have to eat with me every weekend." Connor said, leaving no room for doubt."Why?" Annette frowned."Because I'm afraid that you'll forget about me if you don't see me for too long. I want to appear in front of you as often as I can. It is settled then." Connor then ended the topic.Annette still wanted to say something, but Connor had already started eating the to
Getting Annette's promise, Marcus hugged her excitedly and then jumped up.Annette patted him and said, "Well, stop acting like a child. Hurry up and call Connor to ask him out."Marcus dialed Connor's number."Connor, come out and have lunch together.""I'm busy.""Connor, don't hang up. It's Luna Annette who wants to invite you for lunch. She said that she misses you," Marcus said with a smile.Annette patted him on the shoulder, trying to grab the phone and speak to Connor directly.However, Marcus ran away and did not let Annette reach the phone.Connor was silent for a full ten seconds. He said over the phone, "Ask her to call me."Connor then hung up the phone.Marcus looked at Annette and sounded upset, "Connor asked you to call him."Annette took out her phone and called Connor.Staring at the incoming number, Connor's expression eased.He let the phone ring for a while and then picked up the phone."Um... Connor, have you had lunch?" Annette said nervously."Not yet.""Do you
When she returned to Werewolf University in the afternoon, Annette called Marcus and told him about Connor's condition.She thought that Marcus would think for a while, but he agreed instantly.She was surprised. Wasn't Marcus unwilling to study at Princeton?Why did he agree so quickly?She shook her head and let it go.In the evening, Annette left Werewolf University and took a bus home.Upon arriving at the apartment building, she saw two men in black walking toward her.She stood still and looked at the familiar car behind them. She was somewhat agitated.One of them stepped forward and said, "Ms. Fisher, Alpha Lance asks you to go home for a chat."Even if Annette refused, she would be dragged into the car anyway.Annette simply followed them into the car with a calm face.After being taken to the Black Thorn Pack, she got out of the car and walked in.Leslie and Austin were not there.In the living room, only Lance and a young man were sitting on the sofa, chatting.As Lance saw
When Austin opened the door, he saw Damon about to help Annette up.He walked forward with a cold face and asked, "What happened?"Jessica pointed at Annette and said, "Austin, let her be. That bitch is nothing but ungrateful. Alpha Lance just introduced the Beta's son in Wintering Pack to Annette, but she embarrassed Damon in every way."Austin glanced at Lance. He walked to Annette and helped her up.Austin looked at Damon and said, "Mr. Goodman, I apologize on behalf of her. Annette is not suitable for you. Please go back.""Austin." Lance sat in the wheelchair and patted the handle.Damon saw this and said to Lance, "Alpha Lance, I think it is indeed not a good time. Ms. Hall was suddenly introduced to a stranger and she might feel offended. I will go back now. Please excuse me."He left after saying so.As soon as he left, Lance raised his hand and pointed at Annette, "Annette, are you trying to piss me off?""In fact, I do. But I didn't provoke you in the first place. You were t
"Ann, don't tell me that you have feelings for him?" Austin asked."Why not?" Annette looked up at him and asked, "Why? Just because I am a rogue, a hybrid, and the Black Thorn Pack and the Blood Moon Pack are enemies? But I don't even know why they are enemies. What does this have to do with me? I am not a member of the Black Thorn Pack, so the hatred between the two packs has nothing to do with me.""He knows that you are a member of the Black Thorn Pack. He must have an agenda when approaching you. And why would I lie about it? Annette, even if everyone in the world wants to hurt you, I will never be one of them. Do you understand?"Annette fell silent at his words.She knew that Austin meant no harm to her.But what else could she do?She refused Connor more than once.She had been trying to keep a distance from him.Connor was a good man. Was she going to hurt him because of the Black Thorn Pack?Why would she hurt someone who cared about her?Annette bit her lip and said, "Austi
