"Anna, Anna..." Jacob Shelby knocked on the door a few times, yet Anna Wright did not respond at all.
There was nothing else he could do except turn around and leave.
Then, he met a pair of eyes filled with scandalous desire.
"How's it going? How's it going?" Seth Leeds asked eagerly. "I heard that you mistook someone else for Anna, huh? I heard that you were even crying? Where are your tears, where are your tears? Show me quickly."
Jacob said nothing.
After a long time, he looked at Seth, gnashing his teeth in anger. "You misguided me on purpose!”
Had it not been for Seth’s ambiguous remark, which had described a seemingly serious situation, would he have needed to embarrass himself so immensely?
Jacob kept staring at Seth.
Seth was overwhelmed by his guilty conscience gradually.
He took a few steps back silently and said," I did it for you. Think about this. Without m y assistance, when would a blockhead like you finally have been able to have a fruitful relationship?”
Jacob continued to stare at him.
"Uh... I still have some matters to manage a t the company, so I shall get a move on!" Seth, who did not care about gossiping anymore, turned around and ran swiftly.
Oh god, Jacob's gaze was simply too terrifying.
Jacob turned around and could not help laughing bitterly about successfully driving away Seth with his gaze.
It turned out that what he had assumed was a problem was actually not a problem for Anna.
So what was the point of him being caught up in this for so long?
The problem was that now that he had come to realize the truth, Anna was furious and refused to look at him anymore.
Red rain fell from the skies... How could red rain fall from the skies?
Jacob could not help pulling a long face.
The situation between him and Anna had been reversed.
In the past, people had discovered in astonishment that Anna had been chasing after Jacob while Jacob had remained sullen. Now, Jacob was chasing after Anna, while Anna was ignoring him.
As for Blanchett, she immediately returned to America the next day after leaving Jacob.
The only ones that remained there now were Jacob and Anna, who were constantly tormenting each other. Jacob had tormented her in the past, so it was Anna's turn now. They were having a really good time playing with each other, but Seth was so depressed that he could die.
Even though Anna was not paying much attention to Jacob now, when these two were in the same room, Seth felt like a single man being forced to watch their display of affection.
He was really having a tough life.
Jacob, who displayed his affection before a single man unintentionally, was feeling troubled as well. Late one day, he mustered the courage to give Susan Shelby a call.
"Jacob?" Susan picked up the call quickly.
"Oh, Susie." Jacob forced himself to smile." I have something to ask you."
"Go ahead." Jacob’s tone sounded rather solemn, so Susan could not help being serious as well.
"You are close to Anna... Do you know what she likes?"
Susan went silent right away on her end of the line.
"Why aren't you speaking?" Jacob was flustered beyond comparison, as Susan was still quiet.
Susan let out a cough. "Shouldn't you tell m e something else first, Jacob? Did the relationship between you and Anna make sudden progress?"
Otherwise, how could her blockhead of a brother suddenly be concerned about Anna’s preferences?
Jacob could not help cracking a shy smile. I t was not very appropriate for him to explain this to Susan in detail, so he described the situation vaguely. "I've suddenly come around."
"Really? Hold on." Susan went missing for a while.
After a few minutes, her smiling voice was heard again. “Jacob, that's really amusing o f you. Just an ankle sprain is enough for you to make such a serious decision?"
Jacob was rendered speechless at once.
