From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent (Anthea ) novel Chapter 39

Daniel glinted with scornful amusement as he said, "It's a classic case of playing hard to get, my friend. She baits you with some fancy trick, piques your interest, and then vanishes into thin air, leaving you itching with curiosity. Just when you're about to burst with anticipation, she'll make her grand re-entrance!"

In Daniel’s mind, a poser couldn’t make it to the big leagues.

Compared to the sweet Rebecca, she'd never stoop to such tricks.

Too bad, Sherman's misunderstanding about Rebecca ran too deep.

"Really?" Sherman squinted, a playful mole near his eye becoming more charming as he smirked.

"Bet on it," Daniel continued. "Sherman, just you wait. She's bound to show up after tomorrow!"

"And if she doesn't after three days?" Sherman arched an eyebrow.

"If not, I'll livestream myself eating dirt!" Daniel declared, thumping his chest with resolve, thinking, "If she's following the playbook, Anthea will show up for sure."

"Is that a promise?"

"Of course!" Daniel asserted with confidence.

Sherman curved his lips into a knowing smile, casually observing the scene below as usual.

Daniel, smirking, added, "I've seen these games played a hundred times over. We're all old foxes here. Does she think she can pull one over on me with some amateur tricks?"

The Robinson family was a high society in Capital City. Known for his love of the game and playing it with a wild streak, Daniel had charmed an endless list of women.

With so much experience, he knew all the moves and all the strategies.

After polishing off a hamburger, Anthea didn't head straight for a shower and bed. Instead, she sat at her desk, head bowed as she diligently worked on something.

Her phone was right beside her.

The screen was lit up, not with a game or a novel, but filled with foreign text.

Moments later, Anthea set down her pen, picked up her phone and the paper she had been writing on, and used the formula she calculated to access another website.
