Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1401

Sally looked calm. "Mr. Ji, that is your real purpose today, right?" "I'll give you another identity."

Henrik walked to the couch and took out a bottle of wine. He poured one glass for himself and said slowly, "But from now on, you have to do as I say."

Sally pursed her lips, sneering. "Mr. Ji, thank you so much for your kindness." Her expression turned cold. "I'm sorry but I like deciding for myself. I don't think I can do that." She paused, fuming. When she spoke, she didn't even try to hide her anger. "Plus I haven't seen my sister in the last seven years. I think I can handle another seven years. And even if you try to forcibly stop it, Mr. Ji, you can't possibly stop me forever. You can't stop me from seeing her. It'll happen one of these days and you won't be able to stop it." As soon as she stopped, she turned around and prepared to leave.

Just as Sally's hand touched the door handle, a calm but cold voice suddenly came from behind. "Sally, this is your last chance. If you come running to me next time, you'll get nothing."

Sally tightened her grip on the door handle and pursed her lips. She kept her chin up and didn't even turn her head back. "I'm sure I won't regret anything." After that, she pushed the door open and walked out.

She didn't want to disrupt Rachel's life. She just wanted to check on her and see if she was happy and healthy. Seven years ago, she made a mistake that ruined her life. She wasted seven years of her life in prison. She'd never allow anyone to take control of her life like that again.

Henrik watched as the door was slowly shut. He was grinning. He turned and headed to sit on the couch. He picked up his phone from the table and made a call.

As soon as his call was picked up, he asked, "Addison, what's your relationship with Sally?"

"No matter what our relationship is, you can't mess with her." After affixing his signature, Addison closed the file. He gestured for the director of Flight Media to step outside for a while. Then Addison stood up and walked towards the window in his office. "Henrik, don't you even think about it!" He looked at his scenery—a bird's eye view of T City. It was littered with cars honking their horns, streetlights, skyscrapers, everything you'd find in a full-blown city. After years of hard work, Flight Media and Dream Media had finally merged to become one of the top ten media companies in the world. As he stood in his office which was situated at the top floor of the building, he felt like he was on top of the world.

Henrik frowned slightly. "I was taken aback by her sudden appearance." He paused for a moment. "Why haven't I seen you with her all these years? And I haven't even heard of her."

"What do you want to know?" Addison placed a palm on his forehead. To everyone else, Henrik was this temperamental person, but to Addison, he was different. "But you need to think about it carefully. I would never dig out someone's past or privacy like that, but if you're asking, I won't mind doing it."

Henrik opened his mouth, intending to say something but decided against it. He wanted to ask more but Addison was a man of his word and it wasn't that simple. "Wow, that only made me more curious."

"Good. Be curious." Addison's voice sounded tired. "But it's better if you keep quiet about this."

Henrik's eyes deepened. He changed the subject by asking, "I'm throwing a party in my villa tonight. Would you like to come?" Before Addison could answer, Henrik added in a hurry, "Chad says he hasn't seen you for a long time."

"Hmm." Addison lowered his voice when he heard a knock on the door. "All right, I'll see you tonight." Before Henrik could respond, Addison had already hung up the phone. "Come in."

The secretary of the president of Flight Media, Kate Ning had just come in. "Boss!" She quickly gathered herself and then placed the file folder she'd been holding on the table. She said hastily, "These are the signed contracts of the actors and actresses of both Flight Media and Dream Media. Oh, Yvonne Lin's contract is expiring and she might go work for another company." She was very efficient in reporting to her boss.

Addison sat down and checked the contracts. He quickly scanned through all of them before saying, "Force her out of the entertainment circle then!"

Kate frowned slightly. "The movie Yvonne's in is going to be released next month. Jannis directed it and it's going to be promoted all over the world. If we force her out now..." She looked at Addison and felt somewhat nonplussed. Addison, to everybody, seemed like a kind and harmless president. He had a charming smile that would make you forget that he was the president of one of the top media companies. But as his secretary here, she knew how cruel he could get.

Addison signed the files and raised his head, asking, "Tell Chilton Lu to deal with Jannis. We'll make her pay back all the money we spent on Yvonne." Then he got up. "Cancel today's and tomorrow's schedules."

Lips quivering, Kate just nodded in agreement. She watched as Addison went away with Wyatt.

Wyatt aimlessly drove the car on the streets of T City. Every now and then, he would glance at Addison who was sitting in the back seat. Addison sighed, obviously lost in his own thoughts.

Suddenly, the car slowed at an intersection with a red stop light. A bus slowed to a stop too at their side. Life was strange this way—if you didn't want to see someone, you never really did see them. But once you saw them, you'd start running into them everywhere.

Addison saw Sally sitting by the bus window and leaning her head against it, which was a habit she'd kept since childhood. She always liked the window seats and often got anxious in the vehicle if she didn't get one.

The red light blinked and it was replaced by a green light. Wyatt seemed to be going the same direction as the bus, allowing Addison to prolong his gaze at Sally.

"Wow, a Maybach!"

someone yelled inside the bus. Sally instinctively sat up. She still felt shocked after seeing Addison unexpectedly last night. She turned white as a sheet as she glanced at the car.

"I can't see who's inside the car. Whoever that is, he's driving so slowly! Is he looking at our bus?" a girl said curiously as she stretched her neck trying to get a good look.

"I think you've just seen way too many romantic shows," a friend told her, probably trying to frustrate her.

Sally didn't know what to do. She bit her lip in uncertainty. Even though she couldn't see who the man was behind the car window, she already knew that he was staring at her right now.

A loud voice suddenly came over from the speaker announcing a bus stop. Sally heaved a sigh of relief. She hastily got on her feet and squeezed through the crowd as she tried to get off. "Excuse me, please, excuse me..." When she got off the bus, her anxiety was at an all-time high. She didn't even pause to look if the Maybach was still there. Instead, she hurried towards the pavement.

Wyatt didn't need an order from Addison because he already knew what he had to do. He drove the car to follow Sally at an unsuspecting speed. When Sally tried to turn towards the garden in the corner through a path, he suddenly sped and parked by the road.

Addison casually got out of the car. He remained cool and calm even if he wouldn't see Sally anymore. Instead, he just watched her scurry away. 'Sally, when will you stop running away from me?'

His eyes dimmed to a pitch black. When Sally had completely vanished from his sight, Addison turned and went back inside the car.

Wyatt wondered why Addison had waited for Sally for seven years but then just sent her away after seeing her for the first time. He also wondered why Addison would give up just now when he knew that he wanted to run after her. Was it because of what she said last night?

"Drive!" Addison ordered bluntly.

Wyatt started the car and looked at the rear-view mirror before asking, "Young Master, will you go to Romantic Club or...?"

"Go to the Ji Family's residence." Addison cut in.

Wyatt nodded and turned the steering wheel. The car sped off as everyone stared at it in amazement.

Sally only walked out of the tree shadow when she saw that she was alone and the Maybach and Addison were both gone. She had nothing but herself now. She shrugged and turned around slowly. The breeze was chilly but she didn't feel cold at all.

If it was her destiny to lose him, she wouldn't let herself love him in the beginning and she'd never accept the favor from him. She didn't regret anything but she was just unwilling to face his indifference and sorrowful hatred as well as all the emotions again.

Tears soon filled Sally's eyes. She bit her lip to prevent them from falling because only the weak cried. She leaned her head back to keep her tears in place before walking forward, ignoring all the stares.
