Hunting for His EX-Wife

Anna’s lips slightly twitched when she heard Jimmy’s commanding tone.

“At J. S. Entertainment, you are my boss, but now it’s my personal time. Where I work and what I do is none of your concern. What’s important is that there is no clause in the contract I signed that prohibits trainees from working at a bar, so… you don’t need to worry about it.”

After Anna finished speaking, she immediately got off the car.

As Anna flagged down a taxi and left, Jimmy’s eyebrows furrowed tightly together.

Anna was planning to visit her father at the hospital, but after considering Jimmy’s attitude earlier, she hesitated and called the bar manager’s phone number.

Originally, I was just trying my luck, but I didn’t expect the bar manager to agree that I could start working tonight.

She immediately went to the bar according to the address provided by the manager.

After changing her clothes, Anna started working. Because she had worked in a bar before, the job here was familiar to her. The only thing that made her feel a little uncomfortable was the bunny girl outfit she was wearing.

Anna tugged at the hem of her skirt, and a hint of helplessness appeared on her face.

The manager came to Anna.

“table numble six wants a bottle of brandy, please send it over quickly.”

Anna smiled and nodded, then walked over to table numble six with her drink in hand.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

At night, it was the busiest time for bars. Within two hours, Anna had no time to rest at all. Finally, she found a chance to take a break and almost collapsed onto the chair.

Looking at the woman in the middle of the stage, wearing heavy makeup, scantily dressed, and dancing sultry steps, Anna couldn’t help but shake her head.

They had to maintain an elegant dance posture while constantly avoid being taken advantage by those nasty men. It’s not easy to earn the money.

After taking a short break, Anna walked towards table number two with a bottle of red wine in her hand.

Not sure if she was being too sensitive, she always felt a cold glare from the direction of table two staring at her.

Taking a deep breath, she walked towards table number two around the corner.

How… how could it be them?

Anna never dreamed that the customers at table two would be Jimmy and Bryce.

Without any hesitation, she turned around and was about to leave.

“Stop.”

Jimmy’s cold voice echoed in Anna’s ear.

“Don’t forget you’re a barmaid now. I can file a complaint against you at any time based on your working attitude.”

Anna, upon hearing the threat, had to stop in her tracks and expressionlessly placed the tray of drinks on the table.

“Please enjoy,” she said.

Bryce felt his presence was unnecessary as he witnessed the tense atmosphere between the two. However, a smile of amusement appeared on his face as he watched the show.

Jimmy’s sharp gaze was fixed on Anna with a hint of coldness. As he saw her outfit, his eyes grew colder and colder.

Anna realized that Jimmy was not pleased with what she was wearing.

“This is just my work uniform. All service staff are required to wear it,” she explained hastily.

“You don’t have to work in such an environment. If you need money, you can…” Jimmy hesitated for a moment before an unusual glint flashed across his deep-set eyes. “Be my woman.”

His words were spoken with an imperial tone.

Anna’s shock was evident on her face; she couldn’t believe what she had just heard.

“Jimmy, I owe you money but do you really have to humiliate me like this?” Her beautiful eyes blazed with anger as she spoke out against him.

Bryce sitting beside them did not expect Jimmy to be so direct in expressing himself. He sighed helplessly and said softly, “Can’t you say it more tactfully? Maybe girls would accept it better.”

Although Bryce’s voice wasn’t very loud, Anna could hear him clearly which only added fuel to her fury.

“You’re no different from each other, both bad guys!” She sneered sarcastically at them both while Bryce looked embarrassedly, saying, “I’ll drink alone then; carry on without me.”

Jimmy stood up abruptly and walked straight towards Anna who became flustered by his sudden approach which left her feeling unsure how best to react or respond appropriately.

However, after thinking about Jimmy’s proposal earlier, Anna regained composure quickly enough. “I will return all remaining 700 thousand owed within the shortest time possible but I won’t sell myself.”

As soon as those words left Anna’s mouth, they seemed only serve further irritate Jimmy whose eyebrows furrowed into a scowl.

Why did Anna misinterpret my words?

He grew angrier the more he thought about it, and his words were laced with coldness as he spoke.

“With the amount you make from your job, do you really think you can pay me back in a short amount of time? Anna, don’t be so naive. Even if you worked for a year, there’s no way you could repay me.”

Jimmy’s contemptuous tone made Anna’s face grow even paler. She had thought that he was someone worth getting to know again when he offered to help her out, but now she saw that he was nothing but a scumbag.

“I am naive indeed,” she retorted angrily. “Otherwise how could I have ever thought that you was someone worth getting to know again? It turns out my thoughts were too naive; businessmen are all cunning and despicable.”

Anna’s eyes blazed with fury as she spoke.

“Since you’ve decided that I’m such a cunning and despicable person,” Jimmy said with an insidious smile on his handsome face. “I’ll give you three days to consider it carefully. If you change your mind, come find me at the Harrison Group. By then, you don’t have to repay the money, and I can even get your brother out of jail.”

Anna felt her pride and self-respect trampled underfoot by Jimmy’s words; anger overtook her reason as she grabbed the wine bottle off the table and poured it over him mercilessly.

“I won’t agree to your terms! Don’t delude yourself any further!” Anna spat before storming off without looking back.

Jimmy watched her leave until she disappeared into the bar’s lounge area while Bryce sighed beside him.

“You’re only making things worse for yourself by doing this,” Bryce warned him.

But Jimmy remained confident in himself. “She’ll come back to me.”

He looked away from Bryce, then took the tissue paper handed over by his friend before elegantly wiping away the wine stains on his face.

“She will come back.” His eyes shone with possessive desire like those of an avid hunter tracking its prey.
