Chapter <b>1121 </b>


    Mona Silva asked, “Why aren’t you saying anything? Is there a problem with your phone signal? Or is the bar too loud for you to hear me? Forget it, I’ll wait for you for ten more minutes. If you’re not here in ten minutes, I’m going home.”


    Mona sounded a bit irritated. When she hung up, she grumbled that no man should keep a girl waiting for so long.


    Annie’s hand trembled uncontrobly as she held her phone. Hearing Mona’s attitude toward Steven, it felt like she was being coy. Their rtionship seemed more than just ordinary friends or colleagues.


    As the realization hit her, Annie’s expression changed dramatically. She immediately looked at Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.


    Steven.


    No wonder Steven had been so cold toward her during theirst encounter. He treated her with less warmth than a stranger.


    Taking a deep breath, she felt tears prick in her eyes.


    “Steven, after realizing my feelings for you, you’ve already moved on, haven’t you? You’re treating that woman well, aren’t you? Does she…pare to me?” Annie whispered.


    But her words felt like a soliloquy. She knew Steven wouldn’t hear her and wouldn’t respond Just then, Steven’s phone rang again. Her expression shifted when she saw that it was another call from Skr.


    Skr…


    Suddenly, she felt a sense of calm wash over her.


    “177-”


    Joe read out a phone number. Skr noted it down and then dialed it.


    The ringtone sounded a few times before a familiar voice came through.


    “This is Annie. I still have your number saved,” Annie said.


    Skr was surprised by Annie’s casual admission


    This was Annie’s new number, which Paul had just obtained.


    “Ms. Silver, my brother is with you, right?” pleasantries.


    Skr cut straight to the chase, skipping any


    It had been over half an hour since Natalie had texted her, and she knew there was plenty of

    Annie chuckled softly<b>. </b>“Are you worried I might get back together with your brother?”


    Skr paused for a moment before answering, “I respect my brother’s choices. Who he chooses to be with <b>is </b>his decision.”


    “You and your brother have quite simr personalities. You both seem to make decisions you stick to. When you love someone, you love them. When you don’t<b>, </b>you don’t,” Annie said, a hint of nostalgia in her voice.


    For some reason, despite being on the phone, she felt no hesitation in sharing her thoughts with Skr.


    Even after her breakup with Joe, Skr didn’t seem to have lost herself. She hadn’t aired the issues online or tried to leverage the situation against Joe.


    From what Annie knew, many people still didn’t even know Skr existed. While everyone was busy discussing Lizzie and Vera, no one mentioned Skr.


    Skr asked, “Where are you and my brother staying?”


    “You’re still as sharp as ever. Who helped you find my new number? Was it Joe? Never mind who it was. What matters is that Steven is indeed with me at the hotel. He drank something spiked, and I saw it happen, so I took him away. Rest assured, nothing happened between us.” Annie assured her.


    Skr replied simply, “Okay.”


    She quickly received the address that Annie sent her. As she looked at the location, her impression of Annie changed.


    “It seems like Annie has transformed into someone else. If it were the old her, she would have seized the opportunity to do something,” shemented as she nced at Joe.
