Mark kept reading through the photos and finally found a few of them in which Anna and Jack were
intimate! Especially a photo where she got drunk and he held her.
They had such action, but they claimed that they just had general relationship?
"I finally get the evidence!"
Mark wouldn't expose the photo. Once it was leaked, it only became the proof that Jack liked women.
But what he wanted was to let Anna's reputation in ruins, so he would keep waiting for the opportunity!
...
That night, Serena kept the appointment and met the French man that her friend had introduced to her.
She dressed up and met him in a fancy cafe. She spoke French very fluently since she was in this
circle for many years. She could tell that he was satisfied with her.
She went on that blind date with a definite goal, so she told him her past. However, her bitterly painful
experience didn't let him look down upon her.
His name was White, and he was deputy general manager of a multinational company. He was
humorous and talkative. It was pleasant spending time with him. At that moment, she realized that
maybe it was a nice choice to be together with him.
After chatting with her for a few hours, he gracefully walked her to her apartment.
She decided to try dating him after careful consideration, so she specially called Anna to tell her about
it.
After hearing what she said, Anna asked softly, "You decided to be together with him just because he
didn't mind your past?"
She made that decision not because she fell for him at first sight or in admiration, but because she felt
inferior deep inside. She thought she didn't deserve to be loved, so she had no courage to find a man
who really cherished her.
Could such kind of marriage make her happy?
"That's all right. He must be a good marriage partner!" She said firmly.
But wasn't Rick a good one?
Anna knew it was useless to persuade her to think twice. In a matter of hours after the meeting, she
was planning to quit the showbiz and have a baby at the end of the year.
In her plan, there was totally nothing about Rick.
"All right. I am on your side, but you must protect yourself and make sure you won't get hurt again. If
you have any problem, feel free to turn to me for help."
"Don't worry about me. I will take good care of myself. But I learned in the news that Jack had been
defamed. Is he all right?" She also paid attention to the latest update.
"No one can defame him!" Anna couldn't hold back her feelings before her. "You'd better feel at ease
toning yourself up."
She didn't want her to be hurt again.
Serena nodded and hung up. After that, she involuntarily stared at the street view.
She could deceive everyone else, but she couldn't deceive herself. She knew that she would still feel
lonely even though she had such a wonderful marriage partner.
Why?
She didn't continue to think about it, but contacted her agent. She needed to work as soon as possible,
and then she could get rid of those unnecessary thoughts.
Her agent had already prepared for her return. The next morning they went to the company and
discussed with Rick about the work schedule.
She behaved in the same way as before when facing Rick. After finishing talking about the work, she
got a call from White. He wanted to collect her for lunch. She promised him as there was no reason for
reject.
Rick looked at the time, stood up and said to her, "You're going home? How about me driving you
home?"
"No, thanks. I have an appointment."
Hearing what she said, he nodded, "All right."
Rick never was active in approaching anyone, and it was also true for the situation that day. He and
Serena went into the parking lot together. White walked toward her with flowers.
"White?"
Rick suddenly recognized the man and got in her way when she reached for the flowers.
"Stay away from her!"
Then Rick strode to pull her into his car and left the company.
The atmosphere was bad in the car. She took a deep breath. "Don't you think you should give me some
explanation?"
Rick looked at the road ahead and said calmly, "How did you know White? Do you know who he is?"
"I've just known him. A friend introduced him to me..."
"When you decide to believe anyone, you'd better find out his background. He is a famous gay in
modeling world of France. And many people have been..." He was too angry to continue.
Her eyes glazed over and she grasped her purse.
"Even if you rush to marry, you should choose the proper person!"
"Maybe since I've had a tough life, I can't meet my Mr. Right." She was a little frustrated as the last
thing she wanted to happen still happened. She couldn't pretend to live a happy and confident life
before Rick.
Seeing her in a bad mood, he comforted her, "Everything is gonna be all right... You can't always look
down on yourself and you absolutely deserve a better man than White."
"Really?" She looked at him silently and in tears. All she wanted to say was in her eyes.
He could see what she meant. However, he chose to avoid talking about it.
As the Supervisor of Actors in Dahlia Entertainment, he always did things scrupulously. Later he didn't
say any word all the way. After pulling over to her apartment building, he said, "If you want to delay
your schedule, you can ask your agent to contact me."
Besides talking about work, he couldn't say more words to care about her.
"Thanks... I won't delay my work for this." She looked down and won't find out his thoughts, which
would only make her more ridiculous.
She was afraid of being rejected and detested...
"I just checked on Amina that day and nothing happened between us."
She looked distracted when he suddenly explained to her. "It has nothing to do with me."
After she finished, she directly closed the car door and walked into the building.
After seeing her leave, he turned the car around and it pulled out of the housing estate. He felt more
comfortable when he said those words.
She had more mixed feelings after the special blind date, but she didn't tell it to Anna. Instead, she just
sat in her room whose wall was hung with a huge photo of herself.
She just didn't understand whether she was so naive that she trusted anyone else, or her friend
purposely harmed her and introduced a gay to her.
If the news were spread, she would feel ashamed.
