Turning time back to an hour ago, Anna’s housekeeper knocked on the door and informed her that dinner was ready just after she had her fill of looking at herself in the mirror.
Anna had her housekeeper, Amy, enter the room. She then whispered a few words into the latter’s ear.
Amy had been serving Anna since young and had never dared to go against her orders. This time, however, she was rather hesitant after listening to Anna.
“Ms. Anna, if your father were to learn about this…”
“I believe you’ll make it so that he wouldn’t learn about it!” Anna snapped, shooting her a glare.
Don’t think I’m ignorant to your capabilities!
Amy’s heart lurched. Subsequently, she relented in a low voice, “I’ll go and do it right away.”
Ten minutes later, Anna came out of her room. Right then, Vinson was sitting on the couch. When he saw her coming out, he merely glanced at her impassively.
Unfortunately, that only amplified Anna‘s interest toward him.
Ever since young, I’ve always gotten what I want.
“Come and dine with me if you don‘t want to starve. No matter what, filling your stomach is the most important thing,” Anna remarked with her eyes trained on him.
That comment of hers resonated with Vinson’s thoughts.
While he wanted nothing more to do with her, he was in her territory at that moment. He could skip a meal, but he couldn’t do so indefinitely. After all, he still needed to keep his strength up to look for Arielle.
For that reason, he stood up and went to the room at the side to wash his hands when her words rang out. Then, he returned to the dining table and sat down across from her.
At that, Anna smiled.
This is exactly the type of man I like, handsome and smart!
By then, the food had already been served. When Anna started eating, Vinson picked up the fork and did the same.
