Chapter 888 Eligible Bachelors
After spending a week abroad, Jimmy devoted all his time to Anna, except for work-related matters.
Anna had never felt so happy before. Her face was always beaming with joy and a radiant smile.
What made her even happier was that Jenson personally came to the hotel the next day to apologize. The two of them discussed their business matters and successfully completed the cooperation plan between their two companies.
Standing by the window, Anna gazed outside with a smile on her face, enjoying the beautiful night view outside which filled her heart with contentment.
As Jimmy walked out of the bathroom, he saw Anna’s serene face with a hint of a smile on it. He quietly approached her from behind and gently wrapped his bony hand around her waist, holding her in his embrace.
His chin lightly rested on her fragrant hair as he asked softly, “Done showering?”
Anna no longer resisted Jimmy’s embrace but every time she was held tightly by him like this, blushes would inevitably appear on her cheeks due to shyness.
“It’s great having you here.” Jimmy whispered softly into Anna’s ear in his deep voice that carried an irresistible hoarseness.
“Let’s go back home tomorrow.”
Anna turned around and looked at Jimmy sweetly.
“Go back home?” Jimmy was somewhat surprised, “Are you sure?”
Anna nodded, knowing that Jimmy was worried about herself but she smiled even more happily now.
“Don’t worry about me. I’ve monitored my emotions well. Nothing will happen.”
Anna’s affirmative answer surprised Jimmy who showed an expression of surprise on his face.
“All right then,” said Jimmy, “I’ll listen to you but right now we have… more important things to do.”
After saying these words, he picked up Anna horizontally in his arms and strode towards the big bed…
The couple returned home via flight next day just like they had come earlier – all formalities were handled by Jimmy.
Although exhausted after several hours’ flight journey yet upon returning home, Anna decided to go back straight away into office again.
When hearing about this decision from Anna, Jimmy frowned deeply.
“After a few hours on the plane, are you sure you don’t want to go home and rest?” Jimmy looked serious and wasn’t too happy with Anna’s decision.
Anna knew he was worried about her body, so she couldn’t help but smile and say, “Don’t worry, I won’t push myself too hard. I promise I’ll take care of myself.”
To make Jimmy believe her, Anna playfully made a promise gesture.
Seeing his eyebrows still furrowed tightly together, Anna waited until she was sure the driver wouldn’t peek before giving Jimmy a shy kiss on his lips.
“I really can’t do anything with you.”
Jimmy instructed the driver to turn around towards J. S. Entertainment.
After repeatedly reminding her to take care of herself and not push herself because of training, only then did Jimmy let Anna get off the car feeling relieved.
As soon as she walked into the company building, Anna went straight to the practice room where everyone had just finished their session and were resting while chatting. Taking a deep breath while carrying gifts that she bought back from her trip , Anna walked into the room.
Charlee was the first one who saw Anna coming in; running over with a big smile on her face,
“You’re finally back! We missed you so much!”
Charlee gave Anna an enthusiastic hug without hesitation even though it made Anna feel slightly uncomfortable. She didn’t push Charlee away until Charlee let go by herself.
“I brought small gifts for everyone,” said Anna smilingly as she handed out presents one by one to all present trainees. When walking up towards Mia, however, her eyebrows slightly furrowed but still placed a gift next to Mia without saying anything.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Anna sat down in between everyone nonchalantly.
“I heard that this time around our company is launching a new artist. Anna, you’re the most promising one,” said Charlee enviously.
A new artist?
Anna felt surprised.
“Who will be chosen is still uncertain? We all have chances here; our company won’t give up other people just because someone has connections or something like that. We need to focus on working hard ourselves,” Mia’s sharp voice rang out.
Charlee pursed her lips.
“Mia, we all know about your ambition and how you want to show off. We also know that you’re just as talented as Anna, but let’s be honest here, your skills are only suited for being part of a group. Anna, on the other hand, has excellent singing abilities and is the one who can make it as a solo artist,” Charlee spoke calmly.
Although Mia knew that what Charlee said was true, she couldn’t accept it. Her narrow eyes showed a hint of ruthlessness and coldness that was hard to detect.
She knew very well that if she missed this opportunity, there would never be another chance for her to debut as a solo artist again.
“I won’t give up easily. I hope you can rely on your own abilities instead of relying on men behind the scenes,” Mia walked directly in front of Anna and spoke coldly with provocation mixed with contempt in her eyes.
Facing Mia’s challenging gaze, Anna smiled calmly.
“Regardless of who debuts first or not, it won’t change my dream.”
Mia snorted before turning around and leaving.
Although everyone could feel the tension between Anna and Mia had escalated into something serious during their conversation; no one asked any questions out loud due to an unspoken agreement among them all.
After some brief small talk amongst themselves, they began their training once more; except for Charlee who stayed close by Anna throughout the session.
“I heard Mr. Harrison went abroad too? You guys went together?” Charlee asked.
“Anna I’m really envious of you! You managed to capture two eligible bachelors without any effort! Bryce even released a statement saying he’ll always protect you while Mr. Harrison is so nice to you…”
Charlee sighed deeply.
“I’m so jealous! Can you introduce me to an outstanding man when there’s an opportunity?”
Anna furrowed her brows slightly at Charlee’s obvious flattery but remained calm.
“I haven’t practiced for some time, so I need to start now. You should get ready too, so we can face bigger challenges ahead.”
After finishing speaking these words, she headed towards the changing room.
