Valeria looked at him in bewilderment. “That’s right. What’s the matter with you?”
Raymond had a bad impression of Anna as soon as he thought of the last time they met. “What the hell? Why is her name the same as that girl Wiliam has introduced to me? What’s the problem with you two? Why does the person you both introduce have the same name and surname? Say, Valeria, are you sure that Anna, whom you’re introducing to Andrew, is really beautiful?”
“Yes, I’m sure of it!”
“How beautiful is she?” Raymond continued to ask. He seemed to be in total disbelief.
“It’s hard to describe her in words. Anyway, she is attractive. If you don’t believe me, you can ask her as well. She has seen Anna before.”
“Mr. Raymond, Miss Taylor is truly ravishing. She is beautiful and has a cheerful personality,” the aunt chimed in as well.
Raymond felt that this was too incredible. The two women shared the same name, but one was beautiful while the other was a fierce woman. He felt that this was abnormal. “How is this even possible? No, I have to go personally. Where is Andrew and Anna meeting tonight.”
“What are you doing? Do you want to be a third wheel on their date? Is that even appropriate?”
“Why not? I’ll go and have a look tonight. Can’t I just take a peek? Tell me the location quickly.” Raymond was impatient.
Valeria had to tell him the location of their meeting since he had said so. “I have asked Andrew and Anna to meet up in the Wolf Group.”
After making an appointment with Michael, then only Francis ordered Frederick to book the location. “Michael has agreed to it. You can book the table now.”
Frederick immediately agreed as he reminded Francis, “Mr. Gurney, you have to tell Evelyn about this.”
“Got it. I’ll tell her right now.” Francis got up and went upstairs. Evelyn was lying in bed as she looked at her mobile phone. She heard a knock on the door, so she replied lazily, “Come in!”
Francis pushed the door open. “Why don’t you go out for a stroll?”
“I don’t want to go.” Evelyn sat up. “Grandpa, why do you come to me?”
“Actually, you’ll be seeing someone with me tonight.”
“I don’t want to meet them.” Evelyn declined without even asking who the person was.
“Girl, how can you refuse when you don’t even know who you’re meeting?” Francis sat down with a smile. “I’m is going to meet Michael tonight. Do you know him?”
“Yes.” Evelyn nodded in response. From her expression, one could tell that she was not interested at all.
Francis furrowed his brows. “Evelyn, Michael is not any man. His ability is on par with William’s.”
“What does it have to do with me?” Evelyn asked in return, “So what if he is that capable? He is such a scumbag. He has married Azalea, but he is also involved with other women outside. I’m not interested in this kind of man at all.”
“Don’t you think that’s a mean thing to say? There must be a lot of women around a man who is handsome and talented. Isn’t William surrounded by so numerous women before he got married? But look at him now. Isn’t he nice to his wife after his marriage?”
“William didn’t get other women pregnant before he got married, did he?” Evelyn rebuked.
Francis frowned as he said, “Don’t compare everything to William. How many people are like him out there? Also, I know what you’re thinking. I’m telling you, it’s impossible for you to be together with William. He won’t do that to you if he even has the tiniest bit of feelings for you. You’d better give up!”
Francis’s blunt words caused Evelyn’s face to turn a little paler. People often yearned for things they couldn’t get. Evelyn’s feelings for William didn’t change at all, instead, they grew stronger.
She had to seduce William and make him abandon his wife and sons. No matter what, she would make her dreams come true.
However, it seemed that Francis would not allow her to do anything. If she dared to try anything, he would definitely punish her severely.
Evelyn suppressed her gloominess. “Got it. I’ll go see him with you tonight.”
Michael had problems with his vision, so he didn’t go to the law firm for one whole day. He rested at home until five o’clock in the afternoon. Then he called his assistant and said, “Ask Anastasia to dress up and attend a dinner with me.”
The assistant agreed instantly. “Alright, I’ll inform her right away. Where is the venue? I’ll send her there directly.”
“Drive her to my place first. She’ll come with me. Tell her to be attentive during the dinner.”
At half-past six, the assistant sent Anastasia, who was well dressed, over. He did not dare to enter the house as he asked her to wait in the car. Then he called Michael.
After waiting in the car for about ten minutes, Michael came out with the assistant as he held his coat in his arms.
Anastasia got out of the car immediately and greeted him respectfully, “Hello, Michael!”
Michael took a look at her. Her makeup and clothes were perfect, but the scent of perfume from her body made him uncomfortable.
It was Abbie’s favorite perfume. He felt inexplicably upset to have smelled her favorite perfume on another woman.
He furrowed his brows and said sternly, “What perfume did you wear? Why is it so stinky?”
Anastasia was overjoyed that Michael was looking at her from head to toe. She was beautiful and talented, but she was only from a mediocre family.
Since Michael was willing to let her stay with him, he had to have liked her. Although he did not touch her at all, she was not disappointed.
She would actually be disappointed if Michael tried to get her in bed impatiently. Since he didn’t engage in promiscuous behavior, she knew that he was someone who was husband material.
As long as he didn’t hate her and let her stay by his side, she had enough confidence and patience to make him like her.
Of course, she was not a helpless and innocent girl. Since she had the intention, she would try her best to scheme for herself.
Last time, she saw a bottle of perfume in his suitcase. She thought that he liked the fragrance since he would take it out and fiddled with it from time to time. She had spent a lot of money to buy the same type of perfume. She was surprised that he didn’t like it at all.
Anastasia felt sorry for herself, but she couldn’t allow it to show on her face. She said softly, “I won’t wear it again.”
“Let’s go!” Michael got into the car before her, and she followed him immediately.
The assistant started the car at once and drove straight to the restaurant. On the way, Michael closed his eyes to get some rest.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Michael opened his eyes and got out of the car with Anastasia.
The two of them walked to the private room one after the other. Francis was already there with Evelyn, who was dressed up beautifully.
He heard the sound of the door being pushed open when he was talking to Evelyn. Thus, he looked over with a smile. Michael was expressionless initially, but a smile appeared on his face miraculously when Francis looked at him.
“Hello, Mr. Gurney! Sorry that I’m late!”
“It’s okay. We’ve just arrived too.” Francis smiled and was about to introduce Evelyn to her. Before he could say anything, he saw a stunning woman behind Michael. As a result, the expression on his face froze in an instant.
