Entry of Allen Keller.

"Sir, the Director from Global pharma is here" Aiden's secretary announced as he entered.

He didn't understand why Anna, the secretary of the CEO, wasn't doing anything. Shouldn't it be her rather than him?

Even his sir.. his ruthless and indifferent sir asked him not to trouble Anna much as it is her first day.

It shocked him however, as he could never dare to go against his boss, he could only comply with whatever his boss, Aiden said.

Meanwhile, Kyle and a few directors went to welcome the director and bring him inside.

'She seems so disturbed. What's going on with her..' Aiden thought, looking at Anna who was in deep thought while she followed Kyle.

He didn't follow Kyle and the rest to greet the director. As he is not working for Danver Corps, it is understandable that he is not obliged to greet that person.

After a few minutes, Kyle entered, followed by the man in his late twenties or early thirties. Blond hair, sea green eyes, perfect features and body… he is a man worth drooling for.

Simply put, he is a decent competitor to Aiden. While the new guy gave laid back and playful vibes, Aiden possesed aloof and dignified aura. They both have charms of their own.

In that meantime, everyone took their seats and the director from global pharma sat on the right side of Kyle, just beside Anna.

[How's my surprise?] he texted Anna.

[Infuriating] Anna texted back.

[Hey, I missed you!] he replied with a cute face.

[Ahh!! I am gonna kill you today] Anna texted back with a gun emoji.

[You can do whatever you want with me. I am all yours] he texted with a wink emoji.

"Mr. Keller" Kyle called the man who was busy with his phone.

"Sorry, that's my girlfriend texting me," Mr. Keller said, giving his signature smile to everyone.

His playful nature and that handsome smile made every woman, even the old ladies feel the cupid arrow piercing their heart.

However, it is quite opposite to what Anna felt. Her hands are itching to beat this man and seal his lips.

Girlfriend??

Seriously??

She isn't his girlfriend!!

Well, she pretended to be his girlfriend only a handful of times to chase away the ladies annoying him but it doesn't count right!

Pursing her lips, Anna stomped on his feet.

But, Allen Keller endured it cuz, he has seen it coming. He continued to smile as if nothing happened but in reality, his feet are aching like hell ..

"Anyway, nice to meet you all. I am Allen Keller and I will be working with you all on this project. Hope we succeed and enjoy the process" Allen spoke, with a friendly smile.

Later, the meeting proceeded for a few and then, they winded up. As they have not prepared a contract yet, the meeting was cut short.

The remaining agenda of the meeting got postponed to next morning as they can't continue speaking of other things in front of Mr.Keller who didn't show intention of excusing himself.

….

After the meeting ended, everyone started returning back to their home.

Even Ria arrived and was waiting in the parking lot. They are supposed to move houses as the mansion is far from the office.

Moreover, it reminded them of grandfather and grandmother Danvers which started upsetting Kyle a lot.

So, they decided to move to the apartments nearby.

"Got your apartment ready and the luggage is shifted too" Ria informed Kyle and Anna who just entered the car.

"Tired?" she asked Anna who seemed exhausted.

"More than tired, you can tell that I am annoyed" Anna grumbled.

Her teenage love Frank looks like he is here. His annoying girlfriend or maybe wife, is waiting to annoy her.

Her ex-boyfriend Aiden has suddenly become her brother's personal advisor and mentor.

The person who is her work partner and wants to become her boyfriend, Allen, is here as well.

What can make her more exhausted?

Allen hates Frank and he despises Aiden to his core. It is obvious that he is here with an ulterior motive.

On the other hand, her emotions are spiking whenever she sees Aiden.

And, as if it is not enough, Shirley, that annoying and self centered lady will trouble her a lot from now on.

"You can have a nice sauna and a relaxing massage," Ria said to Anna.

"Sister has a sauna room in her apartment? How come I don't have one" Kyle complained.

"It's because Anna owns a penthouse and we, poor kids, own normal units" Ria said, pretending to wipe her non-existent tears.

Anna couldn't help but laugh seeing Kyle and Ria who are trying to act funny.

"You both are always welcomed to my house" she said. But little does she know that she will regret it later.

"We know" Kyle and Ria answered at a time and couldn't help but smile. The harmonious environment in the car made Anna relax a little.

"By the way, sis, how come you own a flat here? I saw that it was bought a few years back by you" Kyle asked.

Anna, who was about to relax, felt her headache acting up again as she remembered all the horrible things that happened at that time.

"I bought it just like that. I didn't think much" Anna simply lied.

She thought of settling down with Aiden and that is the reason she purchased this house thinking that they could come here sometimes. After all her brother Kyle is in this city so she wanted to stay here on vacations with her soon to be husband and Kyle.

But what happened later has not only forced her to break up with him but it also stopped her from returning to her home.

"My sister is super rich even back then" Kyle complimented but he didn't talk much as he noticed that Anna was clearly exhausted.
