By seven, the hall was filled with almost unknown guests. Anna only knew it was Josh Barnes, the ruthless but talented director, and she was Miranda Loose, the leading actress in his last movie. Another was Chloe Atkins, the leading actress in his next project, still a secret. And many more. But no one she had interacted with directly. Hey, who was she to make them recognize her?Therefore, she was stranded in the desert. No. It was like being alone in a crowd. As a birthday girl, Chelsy had to go here and there to greet her guests. Lucien sometimes accompanied her or was left behind in the circle when his girlfriend left him, while Dave... He was actually willing to be by her side. But it made guests come to him, and she ended up leaving him.Oh, she and Chelsy were the same, leaving their own partner."Anna."The call instantly caught her attention from the monotonous view of the party and her glass of wine as her best friend. She found Giana Ford five meters away, smiling at her. Gi

Anna followed Kate at a distance, ensuring unnoticed. The darkness made it easy to watch out for her target. Oh, she felt like a spy in an action movie. Nervousness and anticipation mixed, but she must continue to ensure the target was in sight. Also, she must create a plan."Hi, everyone," Kate said, joining the Byrne circle. Those were Dave, Chelsy, and Lucien. The birthday girl had just returned from their dance. "This is an amazing party. I don't know pirates will be as fun as this." Her praise sounded doubtful because she didn't even wear a dress code.However, Chelsy must be friendly to her guests. So she gave her smile and said, "Thank you.""Happy birthday."Chelsy only replied with a smile. "Why don't you try to dance?"Kate laughed. "I want, but I don't have a partner to be taken to the dance floor.""You are an artist. It's impossible if no one asked you to dance.""Well, if Dave asked me, I would definitely accept it." Kate glanced at Dave as she said that. "This is for yo

Her response was forced to activate as soon as the realization came to her. She had to leave the place now. Thus, she exited the toilet in a hurry. But her feet stopped as soon as she found Dave outside. Was he waiting for her?Yet she couldn't show herself. She was too messy and hot, and it was terrible if Dave saw her like that."Anna," he called, walking over to her. He sounded worried, as did the look on his face.Anna tilted her body slightly with her hand covering her eyes. Her eyes were puffy, and she didn't want him to see that. "Why are you here?" Even her voice was hoarse from crying. That was really the messed-up version of her."I am waiting for you."Yes, anyone knew that was what he did. He chased Anna as soon as she left them. And he saw her enter the toilet, so he waited patiently and anxious outside without intending to interfere with her own time inside.Anna wanted to answer him by questioning his behavior. She clearly said she would go home alone. But she couldn't

After passionate sex was a time to relax their body. Anna and Dave bathed in the Jacuzzi, feeling the warmth as it hit them lightly. It took fatigue away and refreshed their body to be ready for the day. It was a little late because it was already ten, and they had just breakfasted.Sex makes them lose track of time."Your flight is tonight, right?" she asked while pouring warm water over her shoulder.Dave chuckled and then shook his head. "Anna, it's Saturday. My flight is Sunday night, as usual."Oops, she forgot. The birthday party was Friday night and after Friday is Saturday. What did she think so that she had miscalculated the days?Anna showed him a grin and said, "Forget it.""Be happy. We still have tomorrow to spend together. Maybe I can teach you some business while we have sex." He said lightly.Instantly, she kicked his leg. They sat facing each other, so their feet touched each other. "That's impossible. We can't do two things at the same time." Mainly it was sex. She c

"Anna," Rebecca called her name as their call connected. That was around dinner time.Instantly, her eyebrows furrowed. Rebecca's way of speaking showed her disappointment. But what was wrong?"What?" Anna asked, acting innocent. She did not want to be too explicit, showing she could read that."I was calling you a few times, and I also left a message for you to contact me. But why didn't you do that?"Oh, Anna remembered. She forgot her message. "Sorry. I forgot." That was the truth. Her day had been too overwhelmed since the incident. She even only replied to her sister's message once."Kate had a schedule for the weekend?""Sort of." That part was a lie. She had always used Kate as an excuse since Dave routinely visited her on the weekend. Sorry, Bec. "Why call me?""I want you to accompany me shopping. Soon there will be an anniversary of Matt's company, and I need a new dress."The wrinkles reappeared as Anna recalled Rebecca's collections. She had a lot of clothes in various sty
