Chapter 248


    Christy curled her lips into a smile and said, “You guys can go do your work. I’ll take my leave first.”


    Crystal nodded. Aletta nced at Crystal before following Christy upstairs.


    Time passed very fast in the morning. At noon, Crystal was having lunch with Anaya. Crystal was


    looking at the menu when Anaya’s phone rang. She saw the caller ID and hesitated for a moment


    before saying to Crystal, “I’m going out to answer a call.”


    Crystal nodded.


    Anaya didn’t go far. Although Crystal didn’t want to eavesdrop, she still heard most of Anaya’s


    conversation. “What’s wrong?”


    “Didn’t I put the rice in the microwave after I left? I made it myself… Why would I lie to you? I can’t go


    back now. I’m really busy. I’ve been rushing for an important job recently. If I ask for leave again, the


    boss will definitely be unhappy…” Anaya’s voice was tired, but she still tried to say gently, “I’ll go back.


    after work, okay? You can eat first. Didn’t you say you wanted to eat the braised pork ribs I made


    before? Have a try.”


    The person on the other side of the phone probablypromised. Anaya added, “I have something


    else to do, so I’ll hang up first, okay?”

    “Your mother ising?” Anaya paused for a moment. “Didn’t you say that she would take care of your


    sister who was going to deliver the baby, so she wouldn’te to Fairby for the time being?” “I didn’t


    mean to stop them froming. How could I think like that… Yes, I know. You eat first. I’ll pick them up


    at the airport after work.”


    Crystal had


    Anaya hung up the phone with no expression on her face. She sat back opposite Crystal. already


    chosen the food she wanted to eat. She looked up at Anaya for a while and said, “Anaya, I just heard


    your conversation. Is it your boyfriend?”


    and “Yeah.” Anaya forced a smile and said, “It’s my boyfriend. We’ve been together for many years


    we’re nning to get married. He said that his mother and sister areing to Fairby. I’ll have to pick


    them up after work.”


    Crystal propped up her chin. “Anaya, why aren’t you happy when you mentioned your boyfriend?”


    Anaya pursed her lips and whispered, “No, I’m afraid I’ve been too tired recently.”


    Crystal didn’t say anything more.


    Anaya was about 25 or 26 years old this year, but her eyes were very old. She looked like an old


    woman who was dying. She always showed no spirit which caused her original outstanding


    appearance to no longer be eye-catching.


    It seemed that she always had a very heavy burden on her body. Life made her unable to breathe, but


    there were other heavy things on her shoulder.


    Crystal looked down and took a sip of lemon water. Then she said to Anaya with a smile, “Anaya, you


    should eat more.”


    Anaya took a deep breath and said, “Okay.”


    At about five o’clock in the afternoon, Anaya left in advance. Aletta saw it from upstairs and clicked her


    tongue. “Did the one in her family cause trouble again?”


    Christy nced at Aletta and scolded her, “Didn’t I say that you’re not allowed to mention this again in


    the studio?”


    Aletta held Christy’s arm and said, “Miss Bolton, you can’t stop the gossip. Previously, Anaya seduced


    someone else’s boyfriend, and her fiancé made a scene. It’s such a shame. It’s good enough that


    you’re willing to take her in. Why are you still protecting her reputation?” Christy looked at Anaya’s back


    and said with a smile, “I just…”
