Chapter 196


    Julian took Annalise skiing and arranged for two photographers to follow them. Three years ago,


    Annalise and Madeline went skiing once, but they did not spend too much time, and she was not good


    at skiing. Three yearster, she had to learn how to ski again.


    Julian was very patient. He squatted in the snow and thoughtfully helped Annalise put on her protective


    gear. The photographer captured the entire scene of Julian helping Annalise put on her gear. Annalise


    saw the two photographers. She smiled and waved at them. The photographers immediately ran over


    and asked politely, “Mrs. Parks, what can I do for you?”


    “There’s no need to edit today’s photos. Other than the photos, you can also record some short videos.


    After you’re done, hand them directly to the executive assistant Simon.” Annalise also informed the


    assistant on Whatsapp to upload the photos and videos as quickly as possible without editing. Pictures


    taken by the photographer could be uploaded directly.


    Their Twitter followers would be able to see what they were doing immediately. It was almost in real


    time. Over the past few days, as the poprity of thepetition increased, their Twitter ount


    gained another influx of fans. Especially a few days ago, when Annalise had a bet with Gwen about


    traditional and modern medicine. That day, they gained more than a million fans.


    On the day she won the bet, many of their followers ced orders to show their support. However,


    Simon said that Timothy’s sales had suddenly soared because he had finalized a contract with a


    company with many chain stores. Simon had asked around. All of them were luxury goods shops that


    operated under the Xander family’s corporation.


    Timothy’s wife was the Xander family’s daughter, Jasmine. It was normal for the Xander family to help


    him. with sales. “Don’t think about work today. Let’s have fun.” Julian saw that Annalise was always


    thinking about boosting sales. He said gently, “Don’t worry. I’m going to win!” “Alright.” Annalise smiled.


    “Come on,” Julian wanted to hold Annalise’s hand.


    The coach immediately stopped him. “Don’t hold hands. It’s easier to fall if you do.” “It’s alright.” Julian


    insisted on holding Annalise’s hand. His skiing skills were good. She would fall less if he was with her.


    Besides, at most, he would fall with her. What was the big deal?


    Annalise did not give her hand to Julian. She smiled sweetly at him. “No, I’ll ski on my own.” She would


    be fine after settling down and taking her time to ski. “I’ll hold your hand,” Julian insisted. Annalise


    shook his head. “No, I’ll skate ski my own. Show me how to do it first.”


    “Okay.” Julian was about to give Annalise a demonstration, but he thought that if he were in front of her,


    he would not have a chance to help her up if she fell. He said, “I’ll get the coach to show you.” “Please?


    Show me,” Annalise whined. How could Julian say no to her? He agreed readily. “Okay.” He gave


    Annalise a demonstration. He leaned forward slightly and slid.


    Annalise was a quick learner in everything. She saw Julian’s movements. Coupled with the fact that


    she had tried it three years ago, she tilted her body and slid forward. The coach was anxious and


    immediately chased after her. “Slow down. Don’t be so fast. You’re a beginner.


    It’s easy to fall if you’re fast. Although you’re wearing protective gear, it still hurts if you fall. You have to


    be careful. If you fall too hard, you’ll easily have a concussion…” Before the coach could finish,


    Annalise sped up because she had already slid in another direction.


    The other direction had a higher slope than the coach’s designated location, so she naturally went


    faster. Julian slid down and quickly stopped. When he turned around, he saw Annalise sliding down


    extremely fast. He was shocked. Before he could call out to her, he saw her slide past him and


    continue to slide down the slope. Julian was so scared that he immediately chased after her.


    Annalise was sliding quickly. At first, she was nervous as the slope increased in steepness. But toward


    the end, she began to enjoy the feeling of galloping. It was as if her entire body was flying. The wind


    whistled in her ears and blew on her face. She became strangely alert. The surroundings were white


    and clean. It was magniicent. It was so pure that she wanted to live in such a world of ice and snow


    forever.


    Julian quickly chased after Annalise. When Annalise saw that Julian had caught up with her, her lips


    curled up and she slid even faster. “Annie, slow down,” Julian shouted from behind. Annalise smiled


    and continued to slide forward.


    The two photographers carried their cameras and ran as fast as they could. After taking photos of their


    silhouettes, they wanted to run in front of Annalise and Julian to capture their romantic moments. But


    just as the photographers managed to rush in front of them, they slid away again and left the


    photographers with nothing but their silhouettes.


    The photographers could only run as fast as they could around the resort. One of the photographers


    fell and quickly protected his camera. The other photographer rocked back on his heels withughter.


    “What are youughing at? Hurry up and follow them. Focus!” The photographerughed and reached


    out to pull his colleague up. The two of them continued to take pictures.


    After running a few rounds, they could not run anymore. They began to send the photos and videos to


    the executive assistant Simon. “How was it? Did the photos look good?” “It’s awesome. Mrs. Parks is


    so good at skiing. She was a little rusty at first, but now she’s almost as good as Mr. Parks.” “She’s


    really smart. She’s business-minded, too.” “Most importantly, she’s good-looking.” “And she’s also a


    doctor.”


    “Speaking of this, I regret it so much. If I had known earlier, I would have bet all my assets that day. If I


    had gone all-in on Mrs. Parks winning, I would have saved many years of hard work.” “Haha. I bet 20


    thousand dors and made a small profit. I’m going to my hometown to make a down payment for a


    house on Christmas.” “Damn. I’m so jealous.”


    “Mate, if there are simr bets in the future, don’t be afraid. Just bet on Mrs. Parks winning.” “Yeah.”


    The two of them chatted as they retrieved the photos and videos from the cameras and sent them to


    the executive assistant Simon. When they were almost done, they looked up and saw Julian and


    Annalise skiing far away. “Are we still shooting?” one photographer asked the other.


    The photographer who was asked smiled helplessly. “We have to. It’s our job. December 20th is


    coming, and it’ll be ourst day. When the boss wins, we’ll earn some winnings, too.” “Come on, then.”


    The two photographers quickly ran to catch up with Annalise and Julian to take more photos.


    Annalise was now skiing well. The coach did not believe that this was her second time skiing. Julian


    had been on tenterhooks for a long time. Now that he saw Annalise skiing quickly and steadily, he was


    relieved. As he started enjoying himself, he chased her path and finally skied alongside her. Suddenly,


    Annalise turned her head and smiled gently at Julian. Then, a tragedy happened….Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.
