Chapter 287 Never Let Go
Hearing Hearst's words, Anaya was shocked for a moment.
Anaya wanted to tell Hearst not to investigate what happened, but she couldn't as if someone was choking her.
If possible, she hoped that Hearst would never know about what happened that day.
But just like what Winston had said, it was unfair to Hearst.
After all, Hearst had the right to know the truth since he was dating Anaya.
When Hearst questioned her just now, Anaya actually thought of telling him the truth directly.
But she still did not have the courage.
Anaya knew well that no one could stand his girlfriend having sex with another man, considering the fact that Anaya and Hearst were still dating back then.
She was afraid that as soon as the truth was voiced, they would break up.
Therefore, Anaya had planned to hide the truth at her best so that she could still be with Hearst for a while.
But at that moment, Hearst had made his decision.
Regardless of whether Anaya was willing to tell the truth or not, Hearst would find out what exactly happened that night three days later.
Anaya buried herself in Hearst's arms for a long time and nodded.
He wanted to know the truth, and Anaya had no way to stop him.
Hearst felt her low mood but did not comfort Anaya.
And Hearst stuck by his choice. He knew that he could not give in this time.
The previous failure in her last relationship had made Anaya become a coward and a sensitive soul.
Whenever she encountered setbacks, her first reaction was to hide and protect herself.
If Hearst did not take action, he was well aware that Anaya would only get further and further away from him.
Hearst had to pull her back before she ran away.
After all, they had been through, he couldn't let Anaya just escape.
Hearst held her face up and kissed her on the cheek. "Three days later, I'll come and pick you up."
Anaya was clear that if Hearst said so, he would definitely do it.
There was no room for negotiation.
So she had to agree.
Hearst then kissed her forehead before letting go.
"Be careful."
"OK."
Anaya left empty-handed and acted as if nothing had happened.
Just as she arrived downstairs, Anaya's phone rang.
It was an unfamiliar number and turned out to be from Joshua. His voice sickened Anaya as she picked up the phone.
"My assistant told me that you didn't move out of the apartment."
"It's just my stuff there. I have been staying in the company these days," said Anaya with her hand trembling as she held the phone.
Joshua instantly figured out what she was thinking and asked, "Are you planning to come back?"
Anaya replied, "Yes! You got a problem with that?"
Thinking about the fact that Hearst would know the truth three days later, Anaya didn't have much patience talking to Joshua.
Joshua was already dissatisfied with Anaya, and then he felt even more annoyed. "Aren't you afraid that I will post the video right now?"
Anaya walked to the side of the car and opened the door. "It's up to you. I have already gotten out of the apartment, as you said. If you still want to post the video simply because of such a trivial matter, then do it."
In fact, Anaya understood that Joshua dared not to send the video.
And Joshua was also very clear that such an excuse was the only way to bargain with Anaya at that moment.
But what Anaya did not know was that the video was not even a thing.
Joshua got no video to send.
Just as he wanted to say something, Joshua found the call was hung up.
After Anaya rang off, she turned her phone on silent mode, threw it on the passenger seat, and drove back to the company.
