10 Highland Park (Rochester, New York).

Shane waited for Michael to continue.

"I am not sure why?! But many of the board members are privately looking for someone, that someone identity is unrevealed. It is believed that he or she is keeping a low profile. I guess that the person must be the future CEO of Symonds Corporation."

Shane turned his head to look at the direction of Anna. The girl was sleeping peacefully without even knowing her magnitude.

What will happen if she encounters it in person?

---------------------

Four months had passed, Anna Symonds who had no idea about the hectic situation in Symonds Corporation, walked carelessly and peacefully in Highland Park (Rochester, New York). The park was filled with freshly blossomed Lilacs, Japanese Maples and variety of exotic flowers.

She breathed in the fresh air which swung passed her. For the past few months of her loneliness, this place served as a source of her companion. She sat under a maple tree and closed her eyes. Her mind sped past the memories of her siblings with whom she used to play in a garden filled with Lilacs.

Anna missed her siblings, Christopher, and scarlet. They were the ones who were so close to her; she played and laughed with them. Though she had a hard time in hands of Lulu in her former residence, that place was filled with enriched memories of her mother and her grandmother.

Now her world was empty, it's been two months that she last saw Shane. He was so busy with his company; he started taking part in the business as well hardly returning home.

Though there was still one more year of his graduation, he was so keen in entering the family business for so long. His rank and prestige in society are the two most important things for him; he held no room for any other emotions.

Anna tilted up her head slightly feeling the warmth of the fresh air and her back rested against the trunk of the maple tree. She sat there motionless as a Barbie doll.

Some of the passersby stopped by the barbie doll sitting under a tree, to mesmerize her beauty. Some even took their camera out to capture pictures of her.

Wind swept the maple tree making the red leaves fall against the girl's golden blonde hair. Anna who was deeply immersed in her world did not realize the small commotions around her.

"Mom! Look at her; she looks like a sleeping beauty!!" A small girl Exclaimed.

"Yes, Indeed. She is so beautiful" Mother of the girl whispered back.

"Hey man! Look at that girl!! Is she a model or something? Have you seen her before?" Copper-Blonde hair guy asked.

"I have seen her couple of times roaming alone in the park. Even once, I tried to talk to her but out of nowhere, two bodyguards appeared. That girl must be someone!! Who else, would be protected to this extent?"

Anna's mobile phone rang disrupting the peaceful atmosphere, the screen displayed Shane name. Shane never called her in person; she answered the call at once, "Hello!"
