"I just wanted to know!! After all, you entered your house pretty shaken up" Allen mocked.
"Yeah, it went very well that my heart started to beat so fast. I wanted to sleep with him but his hand is fractured" Anna said with a smile, not giving up. She is so angry and confused that she had to vent out on him.
"Maybe I will sleep with him after he recuperates," she added as she walked into the kitchen to get a beer from the refrigerator.
At last, Allen could only give up. He knows that nothing happened and Anna is just lying.
She isn't someone who makes impulse decisions and acts without thinking.
Moreover, she would never do anything that might hurt Aiden and herself anymore.
Following Anna into the kitchen, Allen held her shoulders and stopped her.
He made her turn, so that he could look into her eyes, which were already red and swollen.
He gave her a comforting smile and then patted her head.
"I know it's tough, Ann. But you need to let him go. It's safe for both of you" he whispered to her.
Anna averted her eyes and nodded her head.
But, she knows the truth.
She could never let go of Aiden.
Whether he is in front of her or far away from her, her every thought would be of him. She could never move on.
He is like a part of her, always following her around. But the warmth and love from him is what she lacked everytime. The more she thought of him, the more she craved it.
But, she always controlled herself all these years and it was relatively easy for her as he was not in front of her till now. She would comfort herself that leaving him was the best choice and he would move on one or other day and find himself a wonderful and peaceful life.
However, it's a different case now.
She found out that he never moved on and is in no position to move on. To be more precise, his love for her has increased in her absence. And, hate has also grown alongside.
She could feel it in his eyes.
Meeting him again, it was not her plan.
This unexpected encounter made her life more complicated. However, it is addictingly complicated that she wanted to dive more into it.
So, she could never let him go.
But she knows that it's a selfish and dangerous decision.
"Good that you know where you stand right now," Allen told her, giving her a smile.
"Now, shall we have some drinks? It's been week's" he asked.
During their time on the island, they used to go for drinks once in a while. But the past few months had been so hectic that they didn't had time for drinks.
"Next time, maybe. I am exhausted now" Anna said, slipping out from his grip and walking to her room with a can of beer.
It is obvious that she wanted to drink alone to numb the pain.
Allen stared at her till she closed her bedroom door and, after she totally vanished, he stopped feigning his smile and sighed.
"Why the hell did they meet again!! Is this really destiny?" he asked himself as he sighed and shook his head.
Who would have thought that Aiden is someone close to Anna's grandparents?
The background check on Anna's family didn't inform him about this.
"I didn't think that the organization did such a lousy background checking" he scoffed as he made his way to his house next door.
If he would have known that Aiden is someone close to Anna's family, he would have never let her meet him. He would have tried his best to chase Aiden away from Anna's family.
He loves Anna so much.
He was almost there. He almost had her heart but now....
Allen sighed and then went to sleep.
….
Next morning, Anna got ready for her first day of work.
This is her first day as secretary of her brother, Kyle. And, no one in the company knows that she is the true heiress who should be taking over the position as CEO legally.
And, everyone in the company is excited and looking forward to working with Global pharma and laboratories.
But only she knows that her grandparents company, Danvers corps got this opportunity just because of her.
This Global pharma and laboratories is the company which is far from Danver's reach. They wouldn't have shown interest in Danver's pharma which is still considered novice in pharmaceuticals and research.
They are many century old and billion dollar MNC's waiting to work with Global pharma and they would have provided a much better and productive collaboration. A businessman would always think of profit and Global Phrama shouldn't have selected Danvers corps but more than profits, they give importance to her, Anna.
Allen has the closest connections to Global Pharma, so he cooked this plan to keep an eye on her and make sure she wouldn't do something impulsive.
Next comes another reason why her brother Kyle is sitting in CEO'S chair. Aiden Fletcher.
If not for Aiden who came forward to help Kyle and assist him in all the work, other board members wouldn't have placed their trust in Kyle.
Everyone is thinking that Aiden did this out of generosity but only she knows that he did this for her.
He would have sent someone from his father's company to assist Kyle if it really wasn't for her. After all, his family business is no less than Global Pharma.
Thinking of all this, Anna felt her headache coming back.
