It had been 3 days since Anna 'expelled' El from her company and 3 days had passed since she had met the young masters. His mind could never once stop figuring out what exactly they were planning.
Starting from looking for the origins of the leadership of Lyn Group, the company that can be spelled out with a short time develops very advanced. Even those, business competitors who had underestimated Lyn were amazed by the extraordinary development of the company.
Understandably, since the great master Albert Lyn the father of Ny. Charlotte died 4 years ago, the company lost half its life. Mrs. Charlotte, the only daughter of the Lyn family who was so devastated to lose her father who so suddenly could not think clearly to save the company that was ready to be pounced on by his business opponents.
If only Mr. Hendry did not quickly realize the condition, maybe now Lyn has been completely destroyed. Strictly during the early 2 years of his father-in-law's death, he is forced to have Arthur take care of Lyn. Although at that time his son refused loudly, but thanks to Jean and Anna who coaxed Arthur, he finally gave up and was willing to defend his grandfather's company.
Until 2 years ago Anna joined Lyn group behind Arthur's name, she could make Lyn's situation much better. The girl prefers to be a shadow of her sister rather than having to take over the lead Lyn. Until now, Lyn is a large company known to people as a company in the field of industry and retail.
Not to mention tracking Elvaro to return to fill the position of leader of the Glover Group which at that time turned out to be led by a shadow heir or successor heir. At least it makes Anna think it's a little awkward, the incident she thinks too has the same timing.
Plus, since the meeting Mr. Hendry had planned with someone who gave some facts about the death of his biological family. Herding instincts within Anna to explore the mystery of what enveloped the massacre. Since his first and last meeting with Aiden, the younger brother he met at the end of his life. The words from her seemed to tear down the fine world that Anna was living in. Making himself reject the truth about the treatment of Jonas and Alice all this time to him.
Anna closed her eyes trying to calm her feelings, feeling the silence that had enveloped her room. Those thoughts made his head dizzy, his feelings suddenly emptied and his chest hurt. He wanted to cry but somehow his tears seemed reluctant to come out.
Geck... Geck... Tok
There was a knock from the door of his room. Clara, El's replacement personal staff temporarily entered Anna's face.
"What's wrong?"
Anna asked Clara who was currently convincing herself that the boss in front of her was not okay.
"Young Master Loud wants to meet you, Miss. At the moment Mr. Loud is waiting in the waiting room on the 2nd floor."
Clara's words made Anna a little surprised.
"Hans Loud?"
Anna asked, and Clara made sure.
Anna breathed a sigh. Just now he was grateful because Hans was no longer bothering him, either directly or indirectly.
"How's Miss?"
Ask Clara when Anna doesn't answer.
"I'll see him myself."
Anna replied confidently, making Clara a little worried.
"Miss, is that okay? Should I accompany you?"
Ask Clara.
Clara's concern isn't without reason. As Lyn Group's personal staff, Clara knows exactly which parties are on the list of people they should avoid. Yes, the list that Artur suddenly made and announced to the staff since the events of Anna fell into their trap.
"He wouldn't dare hurt me, don't worry. Please clear my schedule for the next 2 hours."
Anna said and got a doubtful nod from Clara.
"Ah yes. Don't let Arthur or Jean know, I'm lazy to face their scolding. If this information is leaked, the bonus for you will not be liquid. Understood?"
And then a little threatening.
Clara's stunned.
"Me... Understand Boss."
"Good."
Anna replied satisfied.
Hans seemed a little annoyed at having to wait a long time for Anna who never came. This was the first time he had to wait for someone to arrive. No one had ever dared to make him wait like this. Anna was the first to get Hans to try everything for the first time.
Already 2 times Hans sat and stood up so that his sense of regret could be reduced. From behind the large glass facing the ground floor, right now his eyes revolve around the state of the company he once heard almost bankrupt because it can no longer compete with rival companies.
But now with his own eyes, Hans was amazed by the condition of Lyn whose position was almost equivalent to other large companies. Busy employees passed by on the ground floor with the various files they were carrying, but not one bit Hans saw the burden from their faces. It seems Lyn really guarantees the welfare of her employees not only about income, but also a comfortable work environment. The corner of his lips lifted as he recalled this condition was created none other than thanks to the existence of the girl in the midst of Lyn crisis.
A few seconds later his body reflexively turned around when he heard the sound of the door automatically opening. From the doorway Hans could see Anna who always put on a face he did not like to meet him. Hans stared at Anna from top to bottom, from the beginning of the meeting when in the bar there was actually nothing special about this woman. But for some reason, Hans judged Anna to have an attraction that made him always curious. The ordinary clothes that Anna used, somehow always fit her taste. It was just that the short hair that had already passed through that shoulder that he did not like.
Anna walked up to her guest, in her heart she felt a little uneasy. However this was the first time Anna had made her guests wait for such a long time, even if it was only 10 minutes.
"You want to bother me again?"
Ask Anna without further ado.
"Don't want to apologize after making me wait a long time?"
Hans's backlash embarrassed Anna.
"Sorry sir for making you wait."
Anna finally said, although it still sounded cold. Hans who heard it only smiled cynically and turned back his body.
"What exactly was the purpose of coming here? just want to hear my apology?"
"After seeing it firsthand, I felt a little amazed by Lyn's current condition. I can't believe you made it like this."
Hans said, looking back at the people down there.
Anna aligned her position with Hans.
"Arthur made it this way, I'm just doing the rest."
Answer Anna.
"I know all the truth about you."
Hans disagreed with Anna.
Anna doesn't like it.
"What's your purpose in coming here?"
Anna asked looking at the man who had once amazed her.
"There's something I want to talk about."
Answer Hans.
"If something isn't important, I don't want to hear it. This is the umpteenth time you've disrupted my precious time, Hans."
"You think my time is worthless? Come with me now. I don't want your sister to suddenly come bothering."
Hans said as he walked ahead of Anna.
"You have no intention of kidnapping me, do you?"
Anna asked suspiciously.
"If I had meant it, I wouldn't have come here to pick you up."
Answer Hans.
Anna thought for a moment, fondling Hans' invitation. But when viewed from his arrival who was only alone, without the presence of Bob or one of the young Lords. It seems like something quite interesting.
"You're refusing?"
Hans asked annoyed.
"That's chatty!"
Reply Anna ketus.
Now the girl walked hand in hand with Hans, stepping out of her nest. Accompanied by whispers and gossipy gazes among his employees. This is what Anna does not like, things like this will quickly reach Arthur's ears if they continue to be left.
"You look agitated, Miss."
Temptation Hans on Anna who is uncomfortable because of the behavior of her employees.
"If you want to meet, next time there is no need to come directly here. Your arrival makes me even more dizzy."
Answer Anna.
"Is that so? Then I'll visit often."
Said Hans who got a sharp delicacy from Anna.
In Anna's heart continued to curse, never understanding the way this man thought. The impression released by Hans who was now was completely different from the Hans he had known a few years ago. Ever since she was reunited with him, Anna had only felt the aura of a dictator that was so dominant to Hans.
If without great courage, perhaps that night Anna had already lost her pride. Does this have anything to do with Victoria's disappearance? That question Anna never lost if she looked into Hans's sharp eyes.
"Please come in."
Anna's consciousness instantly returns as Hans's voice breaks her daydream, gallantly opening the door of the car Anna was about to enter.
"There's no need to be overreacting like that."
Anna said ketus, get into the luxury car type Ferrary Spider owned by Hans.
Hans clucked in annoyance, again only Anna the woman who harshly reciprocated her sweet treatment. It's the umpteenth time Anna has dropped the dignity of a Hans Loud, the self-respecting conqueror of a woman.
After he got in the car. As soon as possible, Hans starts the engine of his vehicle, driving away from the Lyn Company before the girl next to him changes his mind.
Along the way neither Hans nor Anna wanted anyone to open a conversation. Once in a while Anna glanced at Hans who was focusing on his wheel. This kind of atmosphere really made him awkward.
"No need to look at me like that. Tell me what you want to say."
Hans was still staring straight ahead.
Anna who felt caught off guard with a heavy heart had to start the topic of conversation.
"I want to ask you."
Said Anna.
"Say."
"What do you think of the Wallis massacre?"
Anna's questioning made Hans a little unexpected.
"Why ask that?"
"Jawab only. What's difficult?"
Anna sewot.
"I still remember a few days ago that you were making a fuss that their deaths were nothing in your eyes. But now, why do you want to know?"
Sneaky Hans.
"I'm just asking, if I don't answer yes already. I'm not forcing."
This time Hans' words upset him.
Anna turned her eyes out, she should not have asked Hans that. Forced however this man will not answer, let alone the fateful event involved his woman. Hans glanced at Anna who was wasting face, from the look on his face now Hans felt Anna was a little disappointed by his reply. But because of his lack of pity, Hans ignored him. His gaze again focused on the path he was pursuing.
