After worked for the entire day, Mary Ann was a little sleepy. She leaned against the seat and looked at the lights outside the window. The pedestrians hurrying back. The feeling of having a way to return was the best. She thought of Leo and she began to smile.
In Mary Ann's opinion, all of this was just a coincidence.
However, she did not ponder over why such a coincidence had happened today.
This was a setup. In the morning, Ana had specially come over to find Mary Ann to ask if Leo would come over tonight. When she heard that Leo William wanted to accompany her, Ana was shocked.
If Leo William came, then what chance did she have to harm Mary Ann?
Moreover, to not affect her career, she had to act as if nothing had happened.
She had to make Mary think that she was drunk, so she had a relationship with other man. She couldn't feel was that she had been set up like this.
She even thought about the end of this accident. At that time, she would just have to kneel in front of Mary Ann and apologize with tears flowing down her face. With Mary Ann's kind personality, even if she blamed her, she wouldn't harm her because of it.
On the other hand, Beverly Batts sent people to follow Leo William's car, stalling him and giving Ana a chance. As long as she succeeded, these people would no longer bother Leo William.
It would be too late.
Mary Ann closed her eyes to recuperate. When she opened her eyes, she was in Ana's birthday party.
She hosted it in a private club. There was a private room inside with a lounge, and outside was a living room. The atmosphere was warm and quite a few people came, and there were even a few foreign guests, young and handsome.
"Mary Ann, you're here!" Ana was wearing a tightly fitting, wine—red dress. Her long hair formed a huge wave, and on top of her head was a diamond crown. She looked sexy and charming.
In front of her, Mary Ann was like a little girl who had just entered society.
Mary Ann was intentionally dressed in such casual attire, to the point that it did not reveal a single bit of her womanly charm. She viewed Ana as her friend, so she naturally did not want to take away her limelight at her birthday party.
"Mary Ann, what are you doing? Such a ordinary look, you come here to play! " Ana laughed while pretending to be unsatisfied.
Mary Ann looked at the men and women present timidly, and laughed dryly: "I had come here to celebrate your birthday in the first place. It's not my birthday, so I can't dress up too beautifully."
"How kind of you! I'm so touched. " Ana immediately reached out to hug her, and then, she held a small bottle in her hands. The liquid inside was stuck between Mary Ann's hair and behind her ears. It was a kind of colorless and tasteless liquid, but it would give off an intoxicating feeling along with the temperature of a person, and it would unknowingly cause them to hallucinate.
Mary Ann was infected by the atmosphere in front of her and did not notice that.
Even though she felt a chill on her neck, she didn't care. When Ana released her, her eyes were moist. So, she thought that the coolness just now was because her tears had landed on her neck.
"Ana, why are you crying? Don't ruin your makeup." Mary Ann frightened her a little, but she was helpless in the face of her crying.
"Mary Ann, I lost my composure. Quickly find a seat and sit down. I will get someone to send you something to eat!" Ana's plan succeeded, and her mood immediately became extremely good. She no longer had time to put on an act because there would be a good show soon.
Mary Ann found a seat with fewer people and sat down. Not long later, someone brought her fruits and drinks.
She raised her head to look at the crowd before her under the lights. There were more than thirty people. However, Ana told her there would be few people.
When Mary Ann saw Ana shuttling through the crowd like a fish in water, she felt that she was a stranger.
From her point of view, Ana was the same type of person as her and was not good at socializing. However, she felt that she was wrong. Ana was very low—key in the company, but she made so many friends.
"Are you Mary Ann? I've been watching your movie and television drama all along. Can we take a picture? I want you to give me an autograph. " Suddenly, two young men rushed over to talk to her.
Mary Ann immediately shook her head and laughed: "Forget about taking pictures. I will sign!"
