Goodbye You Never Loved Me novel (Martha and Stefan) novel Chapter 868

Chapter 868: Did You Not Deceive Me?

Mia waited all night at the hotel, but Jimmy never showed up. She couldn't even reach Anna, which made her angry enough to check out and head straight to Anna's small apartment.

Fuming, she pounded on the door with all her might, but no one answered.

"What are you doing, Anna? You ruined my plan!" Mia kicked the door hard in frustration.

After waiting for about half an hour, Anna finally returned. Mia was even more furious than before.

Completely lost in her own world until she reached the door and saw Mia's accusing eyes staring back at her, Anna was taken aback.

"What's going on, Anna? Why didn't you bring Jimmy to my room?" Maybe it was genuine anger that made Mia shout so loudly at Anna.

Seeing that her neighbor had opened the door due to the commotion outside, Anna quickly pulled Mia inside.

"Anna," said Mia as soon as they were inside. "I hope you can explain what happened last night. I waited all night and... you didn't bring him to my room."

Mia thought of how she had waited eagerly for a whole night only to be disappointed in the end; it made her face look gloomier than ever before.

Anna sighed deeply. Should she tell her that the person who she was waiting for last night was actually with her?

Anna couldn't imagine what would happen if she told Mia everything; would she storm out of here right away?

"I... I tried many ways last night," said Anna hesitantly after a while. "But Jimmy is too smart; he didn't fall for any of them. Later his assistant called him away because he had some work to do."

Mia clearly did not believe this explanation; furrowing her brows tightly together in disbelief and suspicion.

"But I saw you two standing at the staircase! And he even drove his female companion away just for you! I even saw both of you go upstairs together!"

She had seen everything!

Anna gasped inwardly as fear gripped hold of her heart - her face changing color multiple times - before finally speaking up again.

"It is true we went upstairs together," admitted Anna reluctantly after taking a deep breath. "But just when we got there, his assistant called him away, so there was no way I could have brought him over."

Anna couldn't meet Mia's gaze because she had lied to her.

"Did you... not deceive me?"

Mia looked at Anna incredulously.

"Of course not."

Anna gritted her teeth and continued to lie.

Mia nodded, and her anger subsided a bit.

Anna quickly poured a glass of water and placed it next to Mia's hand.

"I'll think of another way, Anna. You can't fail next time."

Taking the glass of water, Mia locked eyes with Anna.
