Chapter 100: Unexpected Meeting
Yareli was taken aback by A''s request.She had thought that it would be more convenient for them to
cooperate because they already knew each other.But now that she had refused, it only meant that she
wasn''t willing to do this.
"Wenny, can''t you reconsider?"
Yareli believed that A would regret it if she didn''t seize this opportunity.
"Ms.Evans, you do know that I''m still studying so I can''t go back to A City yet.I suggest you choose
someone else.I''m afraid that I''m not capable of such a great responsibility on my own.I think Linda
would be more suitable for this than I am."
In reality, A didn''t need to go to school anymore.She was able to work full-time.She was just making
up an excuse not to go back to A City.
Yareli looked at her and persuaded her, "Wenny, please think twice about this.I think you''re the perfect
candidate for this job!"
If A wasn''t going to take this job, she''d rather not assign it to anyone else.
Anna looked at Yareli, and said, "Ms.Evans, may I have a word with Miss Wenny alone?"
"Of course."
Yareli had arranged for them to meet, and considering the fact that the two of them had already known
each other before, there was no need for her to stay.
Perhaps things would turn out better after they had spoken.
Once Yareli had left, only Anna and A were left in the room.
"I never imagined that you''d be here.It''s so unexpected," said Anna.
"To tell you the truth, I was also surprised."
At that time, the only detail A knew about was that the partnerpany of Starlight Fashion Hub
would develop a business in Antawood.
It never crossed her mind that it would be the rk Group, and that Anna would be their
representative.
Perhaps this meant that there really were some people that were hard to avoid running into.
Last night, Lucas took her away from them, but today, facing Anna was inevitable.
"I think you''re already aware of my rtionship with Brian, right?"Anna nced at the ring on her
finger.
It was a beautiful and brimming diamond ring.
Naturally, A also looked at it.She had initially thought that she wouldn''t care about it.
A year ago, she was heartbroken when she found out about their engagement.
But after a painful struggle with heartbreak, she eventually got over it.
She had believed that it could no longer hurt her, but in the end, she still felt pain.
"I do know, and I congratte you for it." A tried to conceal her pain with a faint smile.
"Thank you.Without you in the picture, Brian and I have been so happy,"
Anna reluctantly remarked.She was a selfish woman.She had hoped that Brian would be hers for the
rest of her life.
As long as A didn''t show up again, her rtionship with him wouldn''t change.
ncing at her, A replied, "That''s why I can''t go back to Antawood.Just consider me dead.I can''t go
back, and I refuse to go back."
Escaping might be the better option for her.
There was no way she would go back there.
"I didn''t mean for you to go back there.I won''t tell Brian that you''re alive, and I won''t tell him that you''re
here in Mn.I think you understand why I''m doing that, right?" Anna said bluntly.
A shouldn''t have returned to her and Brian''s life.
"As long as you love him and the two of you are happy, that''s good enough for me.I have nothing more
to do with you two.So please convince Ms.Evans that I can''t be in charge of this cooperation,"
A responded.
If she went back to Antawood, eventually, she would run into Brian one way or another.
Anna couldn''t see any nuances of emotion on A''s face.
This woman had changed so much after two years.
She was no longer the same powerless and submissive woman she once was.
After leaving the coffee shop, A didn''t take a car.
Instead, she slowly walked towards her apartment.
Seeing Anna didn''t just leave her uneasy, it left her heartbroken.
Upon seeing A walking along the street, Lucas honked the car horn to get her attention.
"Hi, L!"
"What are you doing here?" She looked at him in surprise.
"I''m here to pick you up."
Lucas was aware that she had a meeting with Yareli in the coffee shop today, so he came to pick her
up.
He knew that she didn''t like taking a bus or a taxi.
After sitting in the car for a long time, A broke her silence.
"I saw Anna just now."
"Did she say anything to you?"
As a matter of fact, he wasn''t worried that Brian would find out that A was still alive because Anna
loved him.
That woman probably wouldn''t tell him that she ran into A today.
She would just pretend that it never happened.
"She didn''t say anything noteworthy.I don''t want to go back to Antawood and I don''t want anything to
do with the cooperation project with the rk Group."
A turned her gaze towards the window.
It turned out that Brian''s sudden appearance wasn''t just a coincidence.
It was actually rted to the partnership between Starlight and the rk Group.
Pulling over, Lucas said, "You don''t want to see him? But this is your chance.Are you really willing to
give it up?"
He didn''t want her to see Brian, but he also didn''t want her to ruin her future.
"It doesn''t matter.I just don''t want to go back to that sad ce.It reminds me of too much of my painful
past."
A looked at him with a faint smile on her lips.
"If you want to go back, I cane with you.You have to remember that you''re Wenny now, not A,
right?"
Over the past two years, Lucas ensured that she was safe and sound.
And even if she returned to Antawood, he would still take care of everything for her.A shook her
head.
"I''m still A.Nothing has changed, and I''m still heartbroken."
Meanwhile, Yareli refused Anna''s proposal to rece the designer.
In her mind, A was the best designer for this project.
And so, Anna was left with no other choice but to contact A for help again.
"Miss Anna, what can I do for you?"
A and Anna were sitting face to face in a coffee shop again.
They had met each other so many times, but they still kept each other at arm''s length.
"I''ve spoken to Ms.Evans, and she said that you''re the only designer she''d want to work on this
project.As much as I hate for you to go back to Anita Wood and stop you from meeting Brian, I''d rather
not hinder his career because of my selfishness.You have to ept this project and go back!"
Anna''s attitude softened.
It was true that Brian''s career needed to be established little by little, and she would do anything for it to
happen.

Shaking her head, A responded, "You, of all people, should know that this isn''t the right time for me
to appear in Antawood."
Indeed, her reemergence in Antawood would cause problems, and she wasn''t willing to go anyway.
"I am aware of that, but I''m fully responsible for this cooperation.I''m the only one you need to talk to
and meet.You wouldn''t have to meet Brian at all!"
It took Anna so much courage to make this decision.
It was a big risk and she was trying her Juck.
Still reluctant, A said, "I need some time to think about it."
The truth was that she was still afraid that the worst could happen, so she was still hesitant to do it.
Anna stirred her coffee.
"I will give you three days to decide.After that, I have to go back to Antawood.If Ms.Evans speaks to
Brian directly, I think by that time, even if both of us don''t want it to happen, you''re bound to meet with
him."
This was what worried Anna the most.
No matter what happened, Yareli and Brian''s'' partnership would definitely proceed.
Even though Brian hardly cared about this project, since he had already reached an agreement, he
probably wouldn''t let it go that easily.
‘''Three days?''’
The only choice A had right now was to run away again.
However, doing so would let Yareli down after she had given A her trust and mentored her for so
long.
