“Did I?” Annabelle faked a smile and then looked at the staff. She asked kindly, “Did I put you in a difficult situation?” This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
The staff was only doing her job and dared not offend Annabelle. She hurriedly smiled and said, “No, no. However, the dessert for Ms. Lynch and Ms. Pope is the last. Ms. Johnson, can I get another one for you?”
Annabelle was still smiling, but her gaze looked a little aggressive. “But I just want to eat what Ms. Lynch is having.”
When Yvette heard Scarlett call Annabelle “Ms. Johnson,” Yvette was a little confused. Yvette realized that the two should know each other. When Yvette heard what Annabelle said later, Yvette figured out that there was something unusual between those two women.
Although Annabelle did not seem easy to approach, she was actually quite easy to get along with, and she did not like to embarrass others on purpose. Unless someone provoked her, she would settle that resentment sooner or later with her revengeful personality.
Obviously, it could not be the staff of the beauty salon who offended Annabelle, so it could only be Ms. Lynch.
“Ms. Lynch…” Yvette was pondering about the surname. Something seemed to cross her mind suddenly. “Isn’t Harry’s fiancée also from the Lynch family?” she thought.
The staff looked at Annabelle and did not know what to do.
Scarlett said again, “I haven’t touched this yet. If Ms. Johnson doesn’t mind, I’ll give it to her.”
She was saying that to the staff.
The staff calmed down a little. She expressed her gratitude to Scarlett with her eyes. Then, she asked Annabelle carefully, “Ms. Johnson, Ms. Lynch would like to give this to you. Is it okay?”
Annabelle smiled and said, “Thank you then, Ms. Lynch.”
The staff immediately delivered Scarlett’s dessert to Annabelle.
Scarlett asked with a smile, “Ms. Johnson, do you always like to snatch things from others?”
Her tone was gentle without any aggressiveness. No one else could hear anything unusual from her words, but Annabelle and Yvette understood what she meant. She was satirizing Annabelle.
Annabelle picked up the spoon and randomly poked at the dessert on the plate. but she did not eat it. Then, she looked up at Scarlett and raised her eyebrows.
“Aren’t you the one who gave me this, Ms. Lynch? How did I snatch it?”
After a pause, she added, “There are certain things that can’t be taken away unless they don’t belong to you.”
After saying that, she smiled meaningfully, but Scarlett’s face turned gloomy.
Annabelle picked up the dessert and looked at it. She said to the staff, “It doesn’t look tasty. I’m not going to eat it. You may throw it away.”
No matter how silly the staff was, she could notice the problem. It was the grievance between Ms. Johnson and Ms. Lynch, and she was just an unlucky person who happened to get between them.
“Sure, Ms. Johnson.”
After receiving Annabelle’s order, the staff took the dessert that was ruined by Annabelle and went out quickly. The air seemed fresher outside, and she took a deep breath of relief. She threw the dessert into the trash can and immediately reported to the manager about what happened at the VIP lounge.
After the staff went out, Yvette kept shooting meaningful glances at Annabelle to signal her not to mess with Scarlett anymore.
However, Annabelle did not seem to notice it. She deliberately took out her phone and called Harry.
At that time, Harry was working in the office. Seeing the name appear on the screen, he did not answer it immediately.
Annabelle was not in a hurry. She waited patiently.
After Harry finished, he picked up his phone and answered it.
“What’s the matter?” he asked.
Annabelle supported her chin with her hand as she looked at Scarlett in the distance and said lazily, “Busy?”,
The person on the other end of the phone did not answer.
Annabelle did not care and continued, “Pick me up after work. Let’s have dinner together tonight. I’ve booked a restaurant.”
Harry was silent for a while and asked, “Where are you?”
“Beauty salon.”
Harry frowned slightly and thought of something. He clicked on WhatsApp and checked the message. Just two hours ago, Scarlett sent him a message saying that she had an appointment with her friend to
go to the beauty salon for body care in the afternoon and asked him if he had time to have dinner together.
He did not return her message.
hapter
Recently, he seldom replied to Scarlett’s messages. Even if he did, he usually did not reply until a long time after receiving her messages.
Seeing that Harry had not responded to her yet, Annabelle clenched her fingers that were holding the phone tightly. Then, she muttered in disappointment, “Why? Are you going to turn me down?”
Harry rubbed between his eyebrows. After a while, he answered faintly, “Send me the address.”
Annabelle could not help smiling. “Okay. You go back to work then. I’ll leave alone. You’ll receive the address shortly.”
After that, she hung up the phone.

Just then, the manager of the beauty salon came in. He nodded at Scarlett and Ms. Pope first, and then said to Annabelle and Yvette, “Ms. Johnson, Ms. Stille, it’s your turn now. I’ll take you there.”
The two got up and followed the manager out. Annabelle did not look at Scarlett again, but she could clearly feel that Scarlett was looking at her all the time.
Her
gaze was so sharp that if it was a knife, Annabelle would have been sliced hundreds of times by Scarlett already.
“Why did you mess with her?” Yvette asked Annabelle while they were lying in bed and doing body care.
Annabelle did not tell Yvette that Scarlett had asked someone to break into her house, and she did not intend to say anything about it.
Seeing that Annabelle did not answer, Yvette asked, “Do you really like Harry?”
Annabelle slowly let out a deep breath, opened her eyes, and stared somewhere ahead. She asked, “Yve, do you think I’m a bitch? At first, Harry was a simp who always followed behind me. I enjoyed his wholehearted affection while trampling on his dignity. But now, I suddenly miss those moments again.”
In this world, except for Daryl, Harry was the only one who was really kind to her at that time.
He treated her so well that he was willing to give everything to her.
When Harry came, Annabelle and Yvette just finished their treatments. Yvette drove, so she left as soon as Harry arrived.
Annabelle got into Harry’s car.
Scarlett stood by the window of the beauty salon and watched Annabelle get on Harry’s front passenger seat. She grabbed the edge of the window and almost snapped her nails. She once thought that the woman Harry loved was Yuliana, but not long ago, she realized that she was wrong. Annabelle was the woman Harry truly loved.
Rowan was almost five months old.
He was supposed to be vaccinated late last month, but Rowan was a little uncomfortable due to the hot weather. Besides, it was delayed by the matter of the Solace family. It was until public opinion on the internet subsided recently that Yuliana planned to take Rowan to get the vaccine.
Yuliana had not been out for more than half a month. She took the maternity matron Kylie and went out with Christopher early in the morning.
Christopher had a meeting in the morning, so the driver sent Yuliana and Rowan to the Community Medical Center, where Rowan would be vaccinated, before sending Christopher to the company. Then, he would turn back to the
Community Medical Center to pick them up and send them home after Rowan got vaccinated.
Kylie went to line up, while Yuliana and Rowan waited by the side.
