The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 485

The next day at StarTech Co. Ltd, Anna arrived at the lobby calmly.

"Ms. Anna, are you here to see Director Shelby?" the receptionist asked with a smile.

"Yes. I want to see him," Anna answered without any hesitation.

She had read Jacob’s reply.

However, she did not believe it!

If he wanted to say that he did not like her, then he should tell her in person. She would not accept it in sheer cold texts.

"Alright, I'll let Director Shelby know." The receptionist made a phone call to the director’s office immediately.

Soon, she gazed at Anna regretfully, “Ms. Wright, I'm sorry, but Director Shelby is in the middle of something. I'm afraid he can't see you now."

Anna's hands clenched slightly into a fist.

'Jacob is busy?

'Is he really busy? Or does he just not want t o see me?’

"Anna, why are you here?" A somewhat surprised voice arose at that moment.

Seth was walking towards Anna.

Before Anna had the chance to speak, he had already given off a somewhat embarrassed expression. “Hey, I-I was so busy yesterday that I forgot to call you. But don't worry, I've rebuked that dullard for you! He asked me to convey his apologies. He really didn't mean it when we were at the airport."

Anna gave off a smile, but she looked worse than when she was crying, "Is that s o?"

"Of course. Anna, you're such a marvelous girl. Blanchett is nothing compared to you!" Seth nodded.

Anna lowered her eyes. She then said after a long time, "You don't have to lie to me. I asked him personally, and he said he never liked me.”

Seth swallowed all words he was about to utter immediately, and he chuckled awkwardly, "That plank Jacob... He's still as direct as usual. Hahaha.”

Seth’s awkward laughter echoed in the lobby.

Anna stared at him in silence.

Seth took back his smile gradually. He then cleared his throat and said, "Shall we talk : n the corner over there?"

He pointed to a small space that specially opened up in the corner of the lobby.

"Okay." Anna pursed her lips and agreed to it.

The two sat down. Seth cleared his throat again and said, “Anna..."

"You don’t have to comfort me, I can take : t." Anna asserted in a calm voice that Seth could not understand. "I just want to hear him reject me in person."

Seth sighed, "But why?”

Anna gave off a wry chuckle, "It has been four years... I've loved him for four whole years. I-I won't be able to reconcile my defeat if I don’t get his rejection in person. I must figure it out no matter what:

Anna usually looked carefree, but at that moment, a hint of fragility could be seen in her fatigue eyes.

Seth felt a little uncomfortable as he gazed at her. He could not help but say, "I'll go get Jacob..."

As soon as he said so, the receptionist's voice could be heard.

"Director Shelby, why are you here? Ms. Wright is waiting for you over there.” The receptionist pointed at Anna's location.

Anna stood up immediately and stared at Jacob with her big eyes.

A faint hope flashed through her eyes.

Jacob... came to see her after all. Did this mean that Jacob still could not let go of her after all?

At that moment, an enthusiastic voice pierced through the crowd in the lobby.

“Shelby, did you come down to pick me u p?" Blanchett walked in from the door and she was looking at Jacob with surprise now.

The hope in Anna's eyes was instantly swallowed into darkness.
