Chapter 106 Annie Apologizes To Jane
Chapter 106 Annie Apologizes to Jane
"Patrick, I knew it all along. You have feelings for me," Florence couldn''t contain her excitement and
leaned in towards Patrick.
Patrick nced at her with a hint of disdain, his eyes fixed on a beautiful figure in the corner.
As Patrick and Florence danced tightly together on the dance floor, Jane felt an inexplicable
annoyance growing inside of her.
Out of sight out of mind, she stood up and walked towards the door to the banquet hall.
"Jane, where are you going?" Osborn noticed and followed after her.
Jane paused for a moment before turning around coldly. "I''m not feeling well. I want to be alone."
With that said, she left the banquet hall without looking back.
Watching Jane''s retreating figure, Osborn couldn''t help but feel uneasy. Was it because of Patrick?
He had seen how ufortable Jane was since he took Florence onto the dance floor with him
earlier that night.
Although Jane didn''t say anything about it directly, Osborn could sense that there was more to their
rtionship than just contractual partners. If she truly didn''t like Patrick as much as she imed to
be then why did her face turn sour when he danced with Florence?
Osborn''s heart felt heavy as he thought about this situation while holding a ss of red wine in his
hand. The reflection from the wine showed off his handsome features mixed with sadness.
Just then Erica approached him wearing an admiring expression on her face saying "Hi Osborn!
What a coincidence!"
Erica had been eyeing Osborn ever since she entered into the banquet hall; now finally finding an
opportunity to be alone with him.
Osborne gave Erica a cold nce before replying: "It''s you?"
"Yes... it is me," Erica replied shyly yet excitedly while asking if they could dance together.
"No we can''t," Osborne replied icily crushing any hope or expectation Erica might have had.

Ignoring Ericapletely now Osborne sat down where Jane previously sat holding onto his ss
filled with red wine reflecting upon everything happening around him including what happened
between himself and Jane earlier tonight which only made things worse for everyone involved
including himself.
Erica''s expression turned from hopeful to angry clenching both fists at each side; everything was
caused by Jane! Osborne liked only one woman -Jane!
What did this woman possess that made so many men fight over themselves just for attention?
Erica''s eyes glinted maliciously thinking about how tonight would not only make Patrick see who
Jan really is but also make sure Osborne sees clearly too!
With these thoughts brewing inside herself , Eric searched everywhere trying to find Annie''s
whereabouts .
Annie was eating something when Erica walked over, pretending to grab something and standing
next to Annie. "Have you seen Jane?" Annie couldn''t find Jane and asked Erica, knowing she was
Florence''s best friend.
"Jane...," Erica pointed to the door of the banquet hall as if it were a coincidence. "I just saw Jane
leave."
"Left?" Annie frowned. Could Jane have left so soon?
Annie was anxious. If Jane had left so quickly, wouldn''t tonight be ruined? She had begged Bruce to
bring her here for the dinner party and had prepared thoroughly. She couldn''t let all that effort go
down the drain!
"Do you need something from Jane? She just left not long ago; you might be able to catch up with
her if you hurry," Erica hinted.
"Thank you." Upon hearing this, Annie hurriedly walked towards the door.
The night was quiet and serene. On the second-floor terrace, Jane leaned against the railing,
looking up at the stars in a daze.
Patrick and Florence were dancing; what did it have to do with her? Why did she feel so
ufortable?
A cool breeze blew by, making Jane feel a little chilly as she prepared to return to the banquet hall
when suddenly she heard a woman''s voice say: "Jane! So that''s where you are! I''ve been looking
for you everywhere."
Jane frowned as she looked over at a blonde-haired woman who appeared in her line of sight - it
was Annie.
Thinking back on their unpleasant past experiences together made Jane wary deep down inside
herself.
She looked at Annie indifferently: "Do you need me for anything?"
"Yes," said Annie as she approached with a tray holding two sses of red wine in hand. "Miss
North, I came here today to specifically apologize to you."
"Apologize?"
Annie apologizing? How is that possible?
But Annie nodded earnestly nheless while holding out one ss towards Jane: "I know I wasn''t
nice to you before, but Bruce has already criticized me enough about my behavior then… Now
though I want this drink here is my way of showing how sorry I am."
"That''s okay," said Jane coldly after ncing briefly at Annie''s wine ss before averting her gaze
again."I ept your apology but there''s no need for us both drinking."
She didn''t believe that Annie woulde all this way just apologize like this – there must be some
kind of trick involved somewhere along these lines…
Jane didn''t take the ss from Annie''s hand, which made Annie a little anxious. "Miss North, I
sincerely apologize to you today and this ss of wine is specially for you. If you don''t drink it, it
means that you''re not giving me face."
A sarcastic smile appeared on Jane''s lips. "Why should I give you face?"
"You!" Annie was about to lose her temper but she remembered her purpose tonight and
suppressed her anger. She continued to act pitifully, "Miss North, you still refuse to ept my
apology. If Bruce finds out, he will be angry. I really love Bruce and I don''t want to lose him."
Jane looked at her coldly. "What does that have anything to do with me?"
Annie bit her lip and looked pitifully at Jane again. "Actually, Bruce asked me toe here and
apologize to you today. I promised him that I would get your forgiveness no matter what happens."
She pleaded with Jane again," Miss North please pity me and drink this ss of wine so we can
forget our grudges between us."
Seeing how hard Annie was trying in front of her eyes made Jane curious.
What did Annie want?
Since Annie wanted to y games, then she would y along with it too just see what kind of tricks
were up in thetter''s sleeves.
"I see..." After thinking for a few seconds, Jane pretended as if she had been convinced by Annie''s
words and took the ss from her hand," Since you are apologizing so sincerely, then reluctantly
ept it."
As soon as Jane took the wine from Annie''s hand , a glint shed across Annei''e eyes which went
unnoticed by anyone else present there.
She raised the red wine in front of herself towards Jane ,"Cheers!"
"Cheers!" A faint smile appeared on Jane'' lips as she raised the ss too but secretly sniffed its
contents.
Just as expected! The wine had been drugged!
