"Another place like this."
Anna muttered looking at the meeting place with Hans.
Now his footsteps echoed along the hallway in the private area of a nightclub owned by Edgar Greg. Although the atmosphere here is different from the downstairs which tends to be very crowded and noisy, but Anna knows that in the room on the left right there are people who are carrying out activities that they call "business".
Every time Anna stepped her legs, along with that her heart beat was racing faster. The nervousness that had attacked him earlier now tried to hide him so as not to make his pride fall in front of people he would soon meet.
"Drink as much alcohol as Anna can so that you will not be ashamed of having dropped your dignity in front of the brengs*k people."
Anna stopped her steps as Bob stood before her, bowing respectfully.
"Master's waiting for you, miss."
Anna nodded, her reluctance making her stare for a moment at the big door before her. Then with the weight of his steps carried his body to enter.
He, who was none other than Hans who was waiting to grin when he saw his target woman finally coming.
With a sharp look Anna stared dislikefully at the disgusting sight before her,
the comforting women stared at Anna indifferently.
"Get out."
Anna said coldly.
Edgar gave a cue with his hand. Now with a heavy heart the women moved from the sofa occupied by the men.
And now in the room lived Anna and the 9 young masters who were looking down on her.
"What's wrong? If the good news you want to tell me, you can stay here. But, if it's bad news you want to give, get out of here right now."
Said Hans still with his bossy sitting position.
Again, Hans pulled the corner of his lips. Appearing a grin that never left, also his gaze as if to say "You will say no to my offer the other day, right? Then be prepared I won't let you go. I'll make you have nightmares all your life."
Anna walked over, now her position was right in front of Hans. Throwing him a little rough on the table of the agreement documents that Hans sent to him the other day. Yes, the other day Hans sent him 2 documents at once. One document was a cooperation agreement between Lyn and 10 ruling companies that Anna had discussed with Arthur and the other a "special" document intended for Anna.
"I agree to it."
Said Anna.
"Wedding. Your offer the other day, I agreed to it."
Now a stubborn woman with exorbitant self-esteem like Anna is willing to throw herself to her enemy.
Neither Dean, Dev, Eric, Ernest, Darren, Felix, Glen, nor Edgar were surprised. However, Anna's quick good news makes them distrustful. Especially Hans who had thought Anna would say no.
Hans frowned and then retrieved the document. Sure enough there is already a signature and some additional terms written directly by Anna. Hans threw a glance at his friends, then looked back at Anna.
"Why?"
Hans asked doubtfully.
Anna pulled up a chair, and now she was sitting opposite Hans.
"You ask why? Isn't this what you wanted? I'm helping to find your Cinderella, Hans."
Anna said cynically, then sipped a glass of Wine that she poured on the glass on the table that became the barrier between her and Hans now.
"You came here with a face without the slightest fear, Miss Lyn, I think you know for yourself that the woman who already has a contract with us will not be able to get away with it."
Said Felix who felt Anna had other intentions of the deal that had been made.
"Of course I know Mr. Glover clearly, I don't agree to it for free anyway."
Answer Anna.
"You are a human being who is always overwhelmed with a high sense of alert, Arrianne . Tell me what your real purpose is."
Hans said full of questions.
"You're presumptuous to call me by that name stupid!"
Now Hans had to be careful, the decision Anna had taken this time was far from her estimation. From the moment he first met, Hans had already realized that Anna was not an indiscriminate woman.
Especially if recalling her last meeting with Anna, this woman vehemently rejected her request. And now with no burden Anna came to approve of her marriage.
Anna laughed, it was so funny for her to see Hans' cautious face when talking to her.
"Why laugh? Is there something funny?!"
Hans was upset when Anna mocked him.
Once satisfied Anna stopped her laughter and returned to drinking the Wine on the table.
"Where have I written down the 3 conditions I want and I do not accept rejection from you."
Said Anna.
"I'm lazy to read, tell me directly what your terms are."
The answer did not care and immediately got a look of dislike from Anna.
"First, when Victoria and her mother are back, I want you to never interfere if one day she and I have a disagreement.
Second, Because the 9 young overlords of the 10 ruling families requested with great cooperation to Anna Lyn. Thus, Anna Lyn as the second party wanted no foul play resulting in losses to the second party."
Anna paused her speech for a moment, then she looked at everyone to see the response from them.
Brisking Darren to Glen next to him.
"Your doubts are no longer needed Darren. We have already targeted him and half of our plans have been successfully guessed by him. Just imagine how messed up our plans were before they even started."
Glen replied a little annoyed at Darren's words which now even made him worry.
"And the third, I want the decision to end our cooperation I decide. The decision of when we should part is in my hands."
Said Anna with a gaze that still pointed at Hans.
A hostile look was already seen on Hans' handsome face. Once Hans's movements instantly got up and slammed the small rough table that made the distance between them. With a quick movement he was now clutching the collar behind the coat Anna was wearing. It was obvious Anna's shocked face, with all her might she was trying to shake off the firm grip of Hans' hand on her shirt.
"You want to be by my side forever? You forgot what I'm getting married to?"
Said Hans furious on the last condition Anna mentioned.
"You Crazy? what the hell are you doing? Unhand me!"
Unfortunately, when it was felt the grip of Hans' hand began to squeeze his neck.
"Who wants to be your wife forever?!"
The next is full of frustration.
"Then why? You want to disturb the peace of my relationship with Victoria in the future?"
Hans never stopped asking questions to the woman Hans thought was sneaky in front of him.
Anna stopped her attempt to escape Hans' grip, her gaze now no less fiercely staring at the man. At this time his ears were already hot with the words of purity that Hans had thrown for his half-sister.
The atmosphere there was silent for a moment, no one intended to disturb Hans if he was emotional. To the point where Hans continued the remark again, this time with a mocking smile.
"Or can't you just throw your old love at me?"
Anna rounded her eyes unexpectedly because Hans knew about her feelings first and was upset why her enemy knew about her embarrassment. Yes, now Anna is really embarrassed to realize she used to like a Hans Loud, 1 of 9 popular male idols at the high school where she attended school.
Instantly his mind floated on the incident that made him fall for the man. The incident which was originally just a coincidence, long ago made him enjoy and know the warm nature behind the cold and haughty nature at school.
The incident along a slum alley on the edge of the city sidewalk. With his own eyes he saw the haughty one sharing with the town bums. Wearing the same school uniform as him, wrapped in Hoodie who also covered his head. And the first time when it was also a teenager Anna could see directly a sweet smile and polite speech out of the spicy mouth Hans that he always heard at school.
Then his consciousness returned as Hans' voice broke the silence, further strengthening his grip that was now almost strangling Anna's neck.
"Why silence? You admit?"
"You even dared to make a fuss with Victoria, weren't you avoiding everything Wallis was related to back then? How big was your love for me until you dared to tease Victoria back then? Lucky Victoria begged me not to repay you."
Anna was still busy with her thoughts.
"Oohh, look. Now I know the reason why these assholes didn't count on me back then. Hey, jackass! You should have come running amok on me so you know the reason why he and I are making such great news at school."
Feeling annoyed not to get any response from Anna, now Hans slammed Anna's body levels from the chair.
Anna grimacing.
"Even your fingernails aren't even comparable to Victoria's."
Again, Hans again flattered the woman who was somewhere.
Anna gave a rough snort then laughed and got up from her seat. There was actually some pain she felt when she heard Hans adoring Victoria so much, but Anna quickly brushed him off. Now he was hard-earned he stood withstanding the pain in his ass that had just landed hard on the floor.
Like watching the Opera about the dilemma of love stories, the young masters seem to enjoy the quarrel that Hans and Anna are playing. It was as if they were waiting for the winner of this debate. If only Hans would lose, it was certain they would bully the man.
"Do you believe that I ever loved you? Oh well young master, if indeed you believe, then please be proud that I once loved you."
All who heard him stared in amazement at Anna who seemed to have no fear at all for Hans.
"Oh my god, my ass hurts. You're a brash Hans. Look, I'll get you back later."
"Let's put aside the story of the past and go back to discussing our cooperation plan. If you're still curious and want to talk about it. Let's finish our main discussion."
Anna said with a smile on her lips.
"Mr Hans, if you feel any objection to the additional terms I'm giving you. You can cancel it."
Further again.
"Ck."
Hans clucked, with his hands on his waist and a face that was still emotional, he looked at his friends. They compactly nodded their heads which even further upset Hans.
"Can't they help me in the least? You are useless!"
"How about Mr Hans?"
Anna asked, this time with a winning tone.
"Okay, I agree."
Hans' reply was unfriendly.
"It's nice to work with you, young master."
Anna grinned. Not to forget too, like a businessman who is full of manners himself thrust his hands to shake each other and greeted by a man who still displays annoyance.
"At the end of the day you're gonna get caught up in your own game, Hans."
And at that moment, with his half-drunk consciousness. As strong as his energy, he endlessly mengawum smile and resist the nausea that began to attack. Hope his entrails won't come out this time either.
