Chapter 148: She Enjoyed Independence And Financial


    A crawled out of bed and draped a night robe.


    "Mr.rk, you have nothing to worry about.I get paid to work so I will fulfill my obligations."


    What did he think of her? She was an independent woman who earned her own living!


    "That''s fine," Brian nodded.


    Leaving her alone at home to her own devices could spell trouble.She might as well apany him to


    the office.


    After freshening herself up, she sat alone at the dining table for breakfast.Brian was sipping on some


    strong coffee.


    "I''ve decided to go to the airport and send Ms.Evans off this afternoon," she said softly.


    She believed it was necessary to inform him in advance of her decision so that he would be aware.


    There was then no need to inform Anna.


    Taking a sip of his coffee, Brian told her, "Wait for me in the office.I''ll go along with you."


    Since Yareli was returning to Italy, Brian needed to see her off.


    A almost choked on her milk when she heard those words.Had she said something wrong? Why


    didn''t it ur to her that he would want to see Yareli off?


    "Is something wrong? Are you unhappy?"


    Her surprised expression did not escape him.


    Were his words so frightening? She seemed to be avoiding him more these days.


    A took a bite of her sandwich and said, "Not at all.I can''t refuse your order anyway."


    He would definitely go and see Yareli off, irrespective of what she said.


    Linda was patiently waiting at thepany gate for a while.


    Although she had only spent a few days at rk Group, she had observed that Brian''s car was always


    parked at thepany gate, never in the underground parking lot.


    However, she was surprised to see the car pass the gate and head straight for the underground


    parking lot, with A seated in it!


    "It''s her!"


    Linda whispered.


    She was well informed about everything.


    Word got around that before she and Yareli had arrived, A had been given a private studio in


    another building and now she had transferred to the rk Group''s head office.


    Wenny was actually A and she had returned from Italy to her hometown.


    Perhaps she was in a veryplicated rtionship with Brian.


    But it didn''t matter whether she called herself "Wenny" or "A", Linda would ensure she didn''t


    seed that easily.


    Mr.rk belonged to her only! As soon as Linda turned around, she saw Anna.


    "Oh, Miss Anna, what are you doing down here?"


    "What? Can''t I?"


    Anna red at Linda.


    She only came downstairs because of Linda''s strange behavior.


    "Of course you can! I just thought you might witness something disturbing but all seems to be in


    order.I''ll go upstairs now.If you wish to stay, then by all means! " Linda turned around, walked into the


    hallway and headed for the elevator.


    As soon as the car stopped, A alighted and said, "Thank you for bringing me here, Mr.rk.I''ll go


    upstairs now."


    She had no choice but to travel with him in his car.


    But now she could take the elevator without him, couldn''t she? Brian was fully aware that she was


    deliberately trying to avoid him.


    But she couldn''t avoid him for much longer.


    As he rushed towards the elevator, he was toote to join her as she had already touched the "close"


    button.


    As the elevator doors closed, he only managed to catch her victory smile.She stepped out of the


    elevator.She had had two days of solid rest and was feeling much better now.As she entered the office,


    she was weed by Linda''s fierce gaze.She calmly ignored her, walked to her desk and sat down on


    her chair.


    Anna walked in and saw A.She was not the least bit surprised because she knew that A was a


    very dedicated worker.


    Linda could certainly notpete with her in this regard.


    However, she was still upset about the fact that Brian had spent almost two days with A.


    Anna had waited like a pet puppy the whole night for him to return to the vi, but he had chosen to be


    with another woman! Anna addressed A, "Miss Woodsen, you are back at your desk! If you are still


    feeling unwell, please feel free to take off a few more days to rest."


    "How do you know that I''m ill?" she questioned Anna.


    "Did you go to the hospital to visit me?" Anna nodded.


    "Yes, you were seriously ill. And your symptoms were a little unusual."


    When Anna asked the doctor about A’s medical condition, he exined that A ran a high fever


    and that there was no cure for it.


    In the time that Anna had spent in the entertainment club, bars and other rowdy ces, she learnt a


    little about what these symptoms meant.


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    A''s hand froze for a second as she reached for the ss of water.


    "Miss Anna, thank you for your concern but rest assured that I''m as fit as a fiddle and ready to


    commence with my work." Anna had been in the society long enough.


    Surely she could be more discerning? A questioned her random bouts of severe fever.


    Very often she would just feel feverish without cause and no medicine could break her fever.


    Even a general checkup could not diagnose her problem.


    As a result, she didn''t dwell on it.


    Anyway, her fever would subside by nightfall.


    She didn''t mind anymore because it was not as painful as it was a year ago.


    Anna sneered and retorted, "All right then.Now that you are in good health, let''s get back to work! I''m


    looking forward to seeing your new designs."


    "I''ll certainly live up to your expectations this time." A nodded.


    Yareli had clearly spelled out her future to her.She walked into the tea room with a pill in her hand.


    Brian had given it to her before they had left in the morning.


    She was indifferent to consuming it.


    It was her decision whether to take it or not.


    From outside the tea room, Linda spied on A throwing the white pill into the trash can.


    She then poured a cup of hot water and walked out.


    "Wenny! Or should I call you A? I didn''t know you came from Antawood.How resourceful you are!


    You are so conniving that Mr.rk bows to you!"


    She pretended as if she were justing out of the office and identally bumped into A.


    "Linda, you are so wrong.You havepletely misconstrued the rtionship between Mr.rk and


    me."


    A knew that Linda would misunderstand her.


    It was senseless even trying to exin it to her.


    "Oh! I hope so.Let me not bother you then."


    Linda turned around and went into the tea room.


    Peeping into the trash can, she noticed the white pill and immediately assumed it was a contraceptive


    pill.


    She stood in front of the window and pondered, ‘Is A staying with Brian just to have his child? How


    naive is she! Is she trying to uplift her status by getting pregnant with his child? It seems this is her


    strategy to always keep Brian by her side"
