"The workers here are so good and professional" Anna mumbled in soft voice, and that made her wonder who the man from yesterday is, he must super rich from how his workers are professional. Anna creased her brows as she became more curious.
Anna exited the bathroom after her bath, she picked her cloth and wear it. Right after she finished dressing, the maid came in after knocking at the door. She then escorted Anna to where the boss is.
Anna looked around the house as they walk in the hallway.
The house is gigantic and filled with contemporary furnitures. Everything in the Manton is perfect and of value.
The more she walk the more her curiosity is piqued.
Soon, they reached the living room. The maid bowed her head a little and left Anna.
Anna saw a man sitting on a couch, he has a perfect figure even though she just saw his back frame. She walked slowly towards the couch, the more she walk the more she felt intimidated by him, he gives off an intimidating and cold aura.
"Sit down" Sean said to Anna when she came to the couch while gesturing for her to take a seat without looking at her.
Anna sat down silently, she didn't have the time to ponder on how manly the man's voice beside her sounded or how handsome he is.
'What should I do, he is more wealthy than my family, what would I do of he asked for a compensation' Anna's thoughts is running wild in her mind. She cursed her bad luck silently.
Anna's hands began to sweat from nervousness, she didn't know how she got herself into this situation.
Sean seeing how nervous she looked decided to talk to her. He is amused at her reaction because she didn't look like she is scared of been around him yesterday.
"Miaa Anna Brown, let's talk about business" Sean said in his calm and intimidating tone.
Anna's eyes went wide in shock as she heard the voice. She turn her head slowly and saw Sean's handsome face beside her.
'How can it be' Anna thought and began to try to remember what happen yesterday. She knew that she is not drunk, but she is in an absent minded state that she didn't seem to notice her surrounding.
'why did she look like she saw a ghost' Sean thought to himself when he saw her shocked expression.
"I...I am sorry for causing you trouble yesterday" Anna said after she snapped neck from her dumbfounded state. She didn't know why but she felt secured and intimidated by him. 'what business did he mean' Anna thought and she began feeling scared and nervous. Sean is known as the ruthless CEO that mno one could take the risk of offending him. So when he said they should talk about business she felt panic and insecure with the thought that she might have done something to his dislike yesterday, so she figured it's best to apologize.
"I want to give you a chance to prove yourself guilty of the plagiarism you are accused of" Sean said all of a sudden.
"Huhh" Anna is stunned at his words, her expression dumbfounded by his words. 'why will he want to do me a favor' Anna thought but couldn't find a suitable reason for that.
'I think I must have missheard him, he can't be serious' Anna thought in her mind.
"I won't repeat myself, I am giving you two weeks to do so" Sean said with his tone cold.
Anna is stunned again, now she knew that she is not hearing things, but she is bothered by it.
'Why is he doing me this favor' she kept repeating the question to herself but couldn't understand. 'Someone that is prominent and wealthy like Mr Cullin would not do me a favor out of kindness's she thought again and a frown forming on her face. 'What will he gain from this' this matter keep bothering Anna.
Anna knew that she is stupid for thinking all this now instead of grabbing the opportunity to prove her innocence, but she couldn't help it, she is a businesswoman, and she knew that the people in the business circle always do thing for benefits, but she couldn't figure out how this would benefit the Cullin's.
"What will you gain from this" Anna asked the question bothering her before she realized it, she raised her head and look him in the eyes while waiting for his reply.
*****
Anna and Toby are walking after her examination with doctor Lucas from the hospital.
"So what happened yesterday" Toby asked Anna when they entered the car.
"I was devastated and my father set up a blind date" Anna said and sighed exasperatedly.
Toby looked at her without saying anything. He already knew how difficult things are for her and this date will only add to her problems.
"So you are planning to reject it directly or sabotage the date" toby said more like a question.
"I am just tired of all this set up and hopefully this is going to be the last date I will have to go" Anna said.
Toby chuckled at her statement and commented "I am not sure it is going to be the last though, your father will not give up that easily".
"We have two weeks to prove our project guilty of plagiarism" Anna said as she changed the topic.
"What happened" Toby asked. He didn't looked surprised at the revelation.
"Why are you not surprised" Anna asked.
"Because I already predicted it" Toby said in his flat tone.
"Huh" Anna is clearly surprised 'How could he have predicted it' she thought. "Why would you predict it" she asked.
"Did you forget who I am" Toby asked and looked at her like she is stupid for asking him that question.
"Ohh" Anna said as the realization hit her.
