Jessy's café.
Jessy pulled over in Ana's car and Ana got out first and walked towards the café while Jessy looked for a parking space. Ana got to the entrance and looked into her bag to get the keys. She saw Daisy standing in front of the door and asked.
''Daisy He?''
''Ana, I came to tell you that Lin Shen had nothing to do with those photos. I was the one who released them and also sent them to your brother. As for the other things, I don't how they happened. I am here to tell you that the Yu family, Yu Shiao and Yu Lin Shen has nothing with do with what happened to you. Also, if Yu Lin Shen asks you, make sure you tell him clearly that I came to explain things to you''
Daisy finished and walked to her car. She got inside and drove away.
Ana turned and looked at the driven car with a confused expression. Jessy walked over and asked.
''Ana, who is that? What did she talk to you about?''
''Daisy He. She said a lot of things, I didn't understand clearly but she said what happened wasn't the fault of the Yu family and that if Yu Lin Shen asked, I should tell him that she came to make things clear''
''Then, is she saying she is the one who sent those pictures to your brother?''
''Yes, she did say that''
''That little thing''
''It's alright, let's go in. Don't bother with her''
…
Jessy turned to look at Ana and asked. ''Ana, now that you know Lin Shen didn't have a hand in what happened, what are you going to do?''
''He didn't have a hand in it doesn't mean he didn't bully me and accuse me of hurting his brother. Nothing has changed. My feelings about the Yu family is still the same. I hate them''
Jessy looked at the door when she saw someone entering. Her eyes widened when she saw Yu Jiajia walking towards them at the counter.
Of course Ana didn't know about this and continued to talk. ''The first time he saw me, he already held a prejudice against me. He insulted me with all kinds of words. The second time we met, he made me drink and I ended up at the ER. If I wasn't taken to the ER earlier, I wouldn't be alive by now. Do you think I would be grateful that he wasn't the one who destroyed my life this time around? Only a fool will be happy''
''Ana, are you done with the mugs yet?'' Jessy asked, trying to alert Ana.
''I just started washing them, do you need a…'' Ana turned and her body froze when she saw Yu Jiajia across the counter.
''Is that so, Ana?'' Yu Jiajia asked.
….
Ana sat across Yu Jiajia quietly. She fumbled her hands nervously under the table, waiting for the woman to speak first.
''Ana, we haven't had time to chat since two years ago, right?''
''Mm'' Ana nodded her head. It wasn't that she was afraid of Yu Jiajia, but she respected her a lot. Before becoming Yu Shiao's fiancée, Ana was close to Yu Jiajia and the latter treated her like her own daughter.
After cancelling the engagement, Ana avoided the Yu family like a plague. Hence Mrs. Yu never got the chance to speak to her until now.
''How long has it being? Two years, but it feels like just yesterday. Don't you feel the same way?'' Jiajia asked and studied Ana's face keenly.
''I…'' Ana lowered her gaze, not daring to look at Yu Jiajia.
''I heard what happened to you. You should know that no one in the Yu family would stoop so low to make things difficult for you after two years''
''That is true, but lately, Yu Lin Shen has become a nightmare in my life''
Jiajia smiled and lifted her mug. She sipped the coffee and spoke. 'That is true. I saw that for myself when we met a few days ago at the restaurant''
''Mrs. Yu, may I ask what you want to see me for?''
''I heard what happened and I felt that it was unfair for you to be dismissed just based on some pictures someone took. So, I am here to present to you a proposition''
''A proposition?''
''Yes. I've observed you for some time now and I know for a fact that you are good at what you do. PR wise, you are topnotch in your field. You have a lot of talent and experience when it comes to handling artistes and writing PR proposals. So, I want to propose a job for you''
''A job for me?''
''Yes. You did the interview with Lin Shen and you know how he is. Lin Shen is supposed to join the Yu agency as a singer and a Director at the same time but he is avoiding it''
''Mrs. Yu, what do you mean?''
''Become Lin Shen's manager and I will let you back into Glow up as a Director''
''Huh?'' Ana exclaimed.
….
Ana stirred the coffee in her hand with a teaspoon as she reminisced on Mrs. Yu's words.
''The truth is, Lin Shen hasn't sung for a long time and his voice is failing him. He doesn't want people to know because of the pressure on him so he needs someone he can trust to help him come out of his block. In short, he has lost his voice, his inspiration and the motivation to sing''
''But Lin Shen and I don't see eye to eye. No, he hates me. He thinks that I…''
''Ana, you know the Lee family wants to get rid of you, right? They see you as a threat so they want to take you off the company. Your father is retiring next year. You don't know about this, right? He is retiring and if you are no longer a worker there, do you think you will get anything from the Lee family?''
''Still…''
''You are one of the toughest girls I know and I believe that you will be able to help Lin Shen find his spark again. Just become his manager for three months. After three months, you can return in glory to take the Director position at Glow up. I will make it happen''
