Chapter 146 - 146. Pretend Not To Know (2)
"You are my future husband," whispered Byanca with her fingers gently caressing Devan's lips.
"Don't be like this, honey," she added, shortening the distance between them, the woman wanted to kiss Devan but was immediately pushed away by the man.
"Take care of your attitude," said Devan, moving his body away from the woman.
Byanca snorted, the man again refused. No matter how hard she tried, he didn't even reply.
"Wow, you made your breakfast?" asked Byanca enthusiastically as if nothing had just happened. The woman stepped into the kitchen.
"But why did you make two?"
"Who is this one for?" she added, pointing to a plate of toast and other protein foods.
"For Hendra," answered Devan curtly.
"Could it be for me?"
"NO," Devan immediately grabbed the plate and put it in a safe place out of Byanca's reach.
"DEVAN..." Byanca's tone rose, looking so annoyed, she then stomped her feet on the floor, turned, and left the house without saying goodbye to Devan.
Never once did she meet the man and be treated well. Luckily she had Edward as an escape from all the annoyance she felt.
While on the other hand, Anna who still didn't move an inch from her position, tried to ignore everything that reached her ears. It's none of her business, she visited Devan's house just to recharge her cell phone, nothing else.
Even though she knew this way was wrong, Anna had no other way in mind.
Hearing Devan walking away from the kitchen, Anna immediately straightened her legs which were starting to cramp.
Her stomach rumbled, a sign that she was asking to be filled. Anna took a shaky breath. 'This is a risk you have to accept Anna, who asked you to enter someone else's house secretly?'
Peking at the side of the pantry, when she didn't find Devan anywhere, she immediately stood up and stretched her muscles that felt very stiff. Finding a few slices of bread on the pantry, Anna swallowed hard.
Staring at the food for a few minutes, occasionally shaking her head as if experiencing a mental role.
"Ahhh…just this time," she muttered, taking two pieces and eating them quickly, even a glass of milk was there, Anna gulped it down without waiting any longer.
Her body felt very sticky, she then towards the bathroom on the first floor. Right after Anna closed the bathroom door, Devan's voice came from outside.
It looked like he was talking to someone. Anna put her ear to the door, wanting to eavesdrop on the man's conversation.
Hearing that Devan was going out, a smile suddenly appeared on the woman's lips. She cannot waste this opportunity.
Trying to peek behind the door that she deliberately opened a little, her eyes caught the man who was walking towards the main door. "Get out of here quickly, don't come back before I leave," Anna muttered with a grin.
When the main door was tightly closed from the outside, Anna immediately rinsed her face briefly and then immediately walked to the second floor, looking for the man's cellphone charger. Her pace was so fast, she immediately entered the man's room, looked for it there for a few minutes but couldn't find it anywhere.
"It's not here, that means it's in his study," she muttered as soon as she got out of there and headed to the room that was on the same floor.
Fortunately, the room was not locked, her eyes immediately fell on the object that was her main purpose sitting on a mini table attached to the wall. Without waiting any longer, Anna immediately took out her cell phone and charged it.
Glancing at the clock in the room, it was now half-past nine in the morning. As if in a race against time, Anna rubbed her palms anxiously, occasionally looking downstairs to confirm the situation. She hopes the guy doesn't come back in the next few minutes.
Time flies so fast, it doesn't feel like ten minutes have passed. Feeling that her cellphone battery was enough, she then left the room, ran down the stairs, wanting to leave the man's house immediately.
With a sigh, she immediately grabbed the doorknob and opened it.
"Huh?"
Anna tried one more time, pulling the handle with all her might but the door didn't even budge.
"Why is it like this?" Anna's brows furrowed clearly, she who had been worried before was now even more anxious. As she recalled when she was still working in this house, usually she just needed to pull it off without doing anything else and the door would open. Then why can this be? Is it broken?
Anna's heart sank at the thought. Not wanting to stay in that position for long, Anna then looked for other ways. Ran to all the windows on the first floor in the hope that she could get out through there, only that hope she had to bury deep because none of the windows could give her access to get out of there.
Her expression is gloomy, if like this she no longer knows how to get her to leave Devan's house. A harsh sigh escaped her lips. Suddenly Anna felt hopeless.
Her stomach has also been ringing since earlier asking to be filled, making the woman unable to focus.
"I'd better call Naila first," she muttered as she turned on her cell phone. After that, she searched for the girl's contact in the hope that this time the call would be picked up.
However, she was just about to make a call and her cell phone rang first, startling her and nearly throwing it on the floor.
That's Brian.
The bastard called her, Anna immediately rejected and turned off her cell phone again, even her hands were shaking now.
The man must have known that she had left the house, and had probably mobilized his men to find her by now.
Just imagining it Anna couldn't bear it. She doesn't like being treated harshly, especially when it's a man she hates the most, someone who has broken her heart and feelings.
Anna walked again to the kitchen, looking for some instant food that she might use to pull her stomach for a while.
"I'm sorry for eating food at your house, later I promise I will replace it," Anna muttered as she opened the refrigerator in the kitchen.
Finished looking in the refrigerator, she then walked into the kitchen and opened the cupboard that was attached to the wall. Several packets of instant noodles were there.
A sigh of relief escaped her lips. It turns out that the number is still the same, not reduced in the slightest. Yes, the one who put instant noodles in the cupboard was herself when she was still working at home. Whether anyone saw the food that was in her hands or not, Anna didn't care.
While working at home, she often eats instant noodles when hungry to save time when she has a lot of work to do.
