Anna Lu - Chapter 57 Leaving With My Boyfriend!
“Anna, you know I don’t mind. You can spend as long as you want.”
Eve said smiling at Anna. Anna who was feeling a bit nervous before she came here finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“So, I can take three months off?”
Eve nodded “I understand that you are young and it will be too much to take on the responsibly of the head chief now….you have to find a man, settles down and have kids you know?” Eve winked. Anna laughed awkwardly “Ri….Right!” she replied making Eve smile wider.
“You know what?…..how about you….spend more than three months?”
“Huh?” Anna raised her eyebrows “Can I really?”
“Mmhmm” Eve nodded feeling happy after seeing the excited look on the girl’s face.
“You’re just 22 my dear, you are at the prime of your youth…..how about a year?. After one year you can prepare yourself and resume your duties”
“I can really take a year off?.”
Eve nodded again. However Anna smiled apologetically. “If I take a year off, it would be like I am trying to escape my responsibilities….I don’t think I can do that….” Anna sighed, she didn’t want such a long break. Although it was a tempting offer, Anna was afraid of going out there and forgetting this place or everything’s she’s learned.
“Ok….if you say so but, I still think it is a good idea I mean, the head chief that came before you does not have any plans of retiring soon and you can just take it as waiting to inherit” Eve said to the girl. She herself wanted Anna to go and have a very long vacation. For the past two years, no one had worked as hard as her. She wanted the girl to have a rest, and maybe introduce her to a man the next time they meet.
“Now…..now that you put it that way….I guess I have no choice but to accept”
Anna said smiling brightly.
“Who are you leaving with?” Eve wanted to know if she planned to take her friends along with her…..
“Oh, I’m leaving with my boyfriend” Anna said as she got up and ran out excitedly.
“W…wait!. What boyfriend?…..” At the time Eve asked her question, the girl had already left the room.
“Aiii! Youngsters,always so….giddy over little things”
…
Anna hopped back to her room in a really good mood. Standing in front of her door, she began calculating the clothes she would take and the ones she wanted to leave…’Forget it, I’ll take them all!’
Anna opened the door and a scream left her lips.
Amber had been waiting for Anna for quite sometime now, seeing that she didn’t show she got tired and ready to leave.
Anna just happened to be standing by the door when she reached there.
“Why are you screaming?. Red told us to never react that way to fear….” Amber said blankly.
“You almost scared me to death!. What are you doing here? Were you looking for me?”
Anna couldn’t stop herself from smiling as she spoke. Amber stared at the girl’s happy face and her expression softened. “Nope, I came to look for Chris Evans…..is he here?”
Anna laughed and dragged her friend back to the bed making them sit sided by side.
“You seem to be in a good mood….” Amber said with a warm smile on her face. She had gone through numerous tracings in her life and the only person she could show herself to, and be real to was this younger girl in front of her…..
“I have just been granted permission to leave. Eve said that I do jot have to resume my duties immediately.
Amber smiled, it already been so long since she heard such good news.
“Anna?”
Anna heard Bai Sheng’s voice from the door and both ladies became startled.
‘He’s here!’ Amber heard alarms ringing in her head. She wanted to leave but, she didn’t exactly have a place to hide.
Anna opened the door excitedly and hugged Bai Sheng almost immediately,surprising him.
“Did…..something happen?”
Anna nodded excitedly “We are going on our first date!”
Bai Sheng patted the girl’s head. “That’s nice….”
There was a clank sound from inside the room and Bai Sheng immediately became alarmed walking in.
Amber felt like her feet were stuck when she saw him, she could see the masked surprise in his eyes.
Anna saw Bai Sheng standing like a statue and remembered that she hadn’t really introduced them before
“Right….Bai Sheng, Amber and Amber this is Bai Sheng”
“Amber?” A cold look flashed by his eyes as he clenched his fists tightly.
“It is nice to meet you Amber”
Amber couldn’t bring herself to say any words, she nodded nervously and prepared to leave.
“Have we met somewhere before?” Amber could hear the sarcasm behind his voice and shuddered. She quickly shook her head.This is my first time meeting you General Zhang.
Bai Sheng nodded and Anna decided to see Amber out.
“Why are you sweating so much?”
Amber shook her head “I…..just remembered that I had some errands to run. I will talk to you later ok?”
Amber forced a smile and left.
Insides the room, the smile on Bai Sheng’s face had already faded and he stared at the spot the nervous girl just stood.
He felt his blood boiling, he really wanted to go after her so bad. He couldn’t bring himself to do it though, Anna was there….
A cold smile appeared on his lips as he whispered to himself “It’s been a long time…..June….”
