The Billionaire's Mistake (Anya and Daniel) novel Chapter 16

Chapter 16: Another man 

“What would you like?” Anya asked. 

“A big cup of Iced coffee,,” Doctor Steele answered. 

“How could you forget that you have a sweet tooth?” she said as they ordered. 

“The way you say it, why do I get the feeling that you are judging me?” he asked. 

“How is that possible, I just never see men that admit to liking sweet things,” she said. 

“I like everything sweet, my coffee, snacks, even people,” he said, his eyes lingering on her face. For a second, she met his eyes and felt a little uncomfortable, so she looked away. Anya knew he was flirting with her and turned red. 

“Doctor Steele, saying such things to a married woman is odd,” Anya said. 

“What? A married woman can’t be sweet?” He asked, “Besides, you are not wearing your wedding ring today. Did you forget it or take it off?” he asked and Anya paused. 

Her silence was like a large bell ringing in the silence. She took it off? Doctor Steele asked, sitting up straight. 

Anya was no psychic, but she could feel his energy rise when she hesitated. 

“I am still married. Just going through a 

divorce, she quickly answered. 

“Then since I can now pursue you, I am going to still call you sweet,” he said, his eyes deepened as he stared at her, and Anya seemed to notice. 

“Pursue me? It is not as though I am running,” she scoffed as their orders arrived. She had to admit she was nervous. He was very straight forward, it made her uncomfortable. 

They had ordered some cake to go with their coffee. Anya took a bite and nodded at the sweet 

taste. 

“Besides, It is not as though people can be measured in sweetness.” Anya immediately changed the topic. 

“Why not?” he asked, “People are called sweet all the time,” he protested. 

“Sweet is such a general term. It can’t be used to describe people. For example, if you tell someone to find you a sweet person, they could bring you a grandma selling rice on the street, and who is to say they are not sweet? It’s not as though sweet is a description, If you are asked to point at sweets even in a dessert shop, it will be hard,” she said, taking another bite of her cake. 

“How hard could it be?” he asked, then pointed at his coffee, “Sweet,” then pointed at his 

cake, “Sweet,” then pointed at Anya, “Very sweet,” he said and she found herself speechless.

“See? That wasn’t hard,” he took a sip of his coffee. 

“I’m sure it doesn’t work like that…” Anya laughed awkwardly, “A person can’t be sweet. It is not as though you can taste them,” she said. She was not even sure why she was having this conversation. She still found a way to flirt even while talking about sweets. 

“If given the chance, I would taste them all,” he said, the mirth in his eyes, telling her he was joking, but she could hear something else when he said that. 

His words caused Anya to pause mid swallow. She was confused. She always thought Doctor Steele was reserved, but it seemed he only seemed that way because she was married. 

Did hearing that she was getting a divorce open something in him? Anya was not sure how to 

react. 

“Dr. Steele, I did not know you had a dirty mind,” she responded. He was slightly disappointed with the reaction, but he still laughed lightly. 

“How is that a dirty mind?” he asked, “Besides, your mother was right. We’ve known each other for so long, yet we still don’t call ourselves by our first names.” His words made her recall why they never called each other by their first names. 

She had always insisted that he addressed her as Miss Jones. She knew that people knew he liked her. He was not particularly hiding it. But she was a married woman. She did not want rumors. Anya did not think he would ask to be on a first name basis. 

“Oh, it is odd,” she answered. When she thought about it again, did he call her by her name back in her mother’s hospital room? 

“Then, Harry,” she proceeded to call his name and he became dazed, staring at Anya till she 

was uncomfortable. 

“Harry?” she called and he looked away the next second. 

“Yes, Anya,” he answered. 

While Anya was worried that her conversation with Harry was becoming weird, another person besides himself was worried. 

J 

It was the driver who had driven Anya to her appointment. 

He, like every other staff in the Shaw mansion, was shocked when’the master had brought madam back to him. It seemed that they were going to be working on their relationship. It was odd for their young master to come around women. 

After he married, he left his wife and never came back. The driver recalled that he had heard rumors about the boss‘ new wife. The family did not like her, so she stayed away. 

So, when he suddenly brought Miss Jones back they were all paying attention. Has the boss. decided to live like a married man? Many of them were curious. They soon noticed that both

husband and wife slept in the same room. 

But the boss said he should drive her around and keep tabs on her. 

When he had driven over to wait for Miss Jones to finish her appointment in the coffee shop, he noticed that she was meeting with a man.
