1 Cheerful Little Girl

A beautiful little girl was running around with her peers cheerfully, some children were younger than her. Her face is beautiful, her personality is good. She is an independent little girl.

In addition, she is also liked by many friends around her because of her warm attitude and gives a sense of security to others. It can be considered as a home for friends who have the same fate as her. Yes, it can be said that her fate is not too lucky because she lives in an orphanage with other less fortunate children.

Living in an orphanage does not necessarily prevent him from thinking broadly and moving forward. Armed with an intelligence the little girl supports hers with hard work. Even though she did not get a formal education, she can have a big dream. Because of her ability and effort, she believes she can realize her dreams.

Until December 9, 2009, when she was ten years old, a kind family adopted hers.

"Anna, come here. Someone wants to meet you." Call Jasmine as the caretaker of the orphanage. The one who was called immediately approached and sat next to Jasmine.

"Who are these, Mom?" Anna asked Jasmine, who was called the mother in the orphanage.

"Annalise, they are the family that will become your family. You will be living with them from today onwards." Jasmine gave off a smile.

Honestly, a feeling of sadness occurred and Jasmine's heart sank when she realized that one of her foster children would leave her again.

Of course, she is happy because in the end there is a family who is willing to take good care of one of her foster children. But after all, Annalise had lived in this place for almost ten years, and Jasmine had treated her like her own child.

Moreover, Annalise is the smartest and most reliable child. But Jasmine will try to be sincere.

"Mr. Elard, this is Annalise, the girl I told you about earlier," Jasmine said politely.

"She is beautiful and attractive exactly as you describe, Mrs. Jasmine." Said the one called Mr. Elard. Jasmine smiled.

"Hi, Anna. I'm James, James Elard. And this is my son, Axel Elard. You're willing to be a part of our family, aren't you?" Said James Elard trying to lure his target.

"Axel, say something." James orders.

"I thought you'd take a baby, Dad. Turns out a kid this big, isn't cute at all." Axel folded his arms in front of his chest.

"Axel, watch your mouth!" Axel laughed carelessly.

"I was just kidding, sorry." Hearing that James immediately breathed a sigh of relief. His son likes to cheat.

"Hi, Anna. You're really cute to be my sister. You want to come with us, don't you?" Axel added.

Anna looked deeply at Jasmine as if asking for advice. Knowing what Anna was thinking, Jasmine, nodded gently. Anna looked forward again, at the two men named Elard.

Annalise always thought about one day she was brought in by a rich family who was able to support her educational needs. And if she goes with the Elard family maybe step by step she will get closer to her dream.

"If Mom Jasmine has agreed to it then I can't refuse."

Before leaving the orphanage which had been her home for ten years, Annalise was asked to go to Jasmine's room. There was something to tell Annalise before she left. Jasmine handed Anna a brown envelope and red velvet box.

"At your age, I'm sure you'll understand the writing on it, Anna. You're our most reliable child after all," said Jasmine.

Annalise opened the brown envelope and took out the things related to her. On a piece of paper that had dried water droplets on it, Elard's surname was mentioned in the letter.

All of this had been planned for years long before this day arrived. To grant her biological mother's wish, Anna is determined to follow the Elard family.

From today onwards she would become a member of the Elard family. That way maybe she will get closer to all his goals.

***

Anna lived a much better life than before when she lived in the orphanage, especially in the field of education. Anna got more adequate facilities than when she was still living in the orphanage. Anna was very grateful that the Elard family treated her so well. Not only family, relatives, and partners of Elard's family also acknowledged her existence. This shows that the Elard family does not cover up Anna's existence from the outside they are proud of a very talented girl.

Anna takes her education seriously. She likes learning and seeking experience. By having broad insight, she felt that she was able to keep up and felt that she was worthy enough to become a member of the Elard family. Because the Elards own a growing company, Anna chooses to attend business school. She pursued her education abroad. By having provisions, Anna felt that she could be of little use to the Elard family in the future. So far, none of Anna has been treated badly in her new environment.

Especially, Axel, he protected Anna as something precious. Even Edward did the same thing with Axel to Annalise. Edward and Axel are very close friends. Even though they were three years older than Anna, they didn't want to be called big brothers. They thought such a call sounded ridiculous.

Growing up together, Anna could understand Axel and Edward well. In this world nothing is free. Even though Elard's family doesn't demand anything from her, Anna is quite self-aware.

The kindness of the Elard family was accepted by Anna gratefully. Because they never asked or sued Anna, that's why Anna was determined to serve this family for the rest of her life.

With her business schooling, maybe one day she will be able to help advance the Emperor Group as the number one company. Of course, she would never betray the family that had brought hers closer to her dreams. And for the rest of his life, she will put Axel and Edward in the most important part of her life.

December 9, 2021.

A tall girl, with white skin, a slim body, and a long neck walked into the elevator. Every morning she had to leave earlier than the boss. As a secretary, she had to prepare everything before the boss came.

She is Annalise.

Look!

The girl who since ten years ago has looked stunning, now she not only looks charming but also charming. Her long hair completes her appearance making her look even more stunning. She is the reason girls feel insecure about themselves and the reason boys think dirty.

Anna entered a room, prepared everything needed, then soon the door was pushed from outside and a man with masculine style entered.

"Hi, Anna."
