Chapter 987 Cherry Invites Aria To A Meal (2/2)

”Do you know what you did wrong? It's alright if you just wanted to own me. But you should not have helped Molly leave me!”

When Brian learns the truth, there is no chance for Hannah to win his heart.

Molly, who wants to run away from Brian, seems to be the only one to blame for Hannah's misfortune...

ion. As she came to realize, there wasn't much she could do to salvage their relationship, even if she tried her very best.

Flashing back to last night, when he stared at her cheeks which were bathed in tears, he really wished that he could wipe away every drop. As usual, he wanted to pull her in his arms for a warm embrace, hoping that would ease her grief. But he didn't for he was afraid it would change his mind about the issue. Besides, it would only make things worse for her. When he remembered her tears and the words he had said against his will, he now felt his heart ache. But in spite of all that, he resolved to forget about the relationship.

He shook his head to get over his daze. He forced himself to get the scenes of what happened in the apartment out of his head. 'Now that I made a choice, I need to move on, ' he resolved.

On realizing that he had spoken out loudly, he checked around to confirm that he was still alone in the room. Just then, his telephone rang.

”Mr. Lawrence, Miss Anna is downstairs. She wants to see you,” a polite female voice announced from the other end of the line.

”Let her in, please,” Lawrence said and hung up.

Three minutes later, Anna emerged into his office.

”Do you have any appointments at noon, Lawrence?” she cheerily began. ”We could go have lunch together, if you have time,” she invited, while standing at a distance. But judging by the look on his face, she could tell that something was troubling him.

”I haven't finished my work yet,” Lawrence turned down the offer and started shuffling through his files to emphasize how busy he was.

”In that case, I can stick around and wait until you finish,” Anna persisted, now walking closer to his desk. ”There are still thirty minutes left before lunch time. I will go take a seat over there,” she said pointing at to the direction of the lounge, which was to his right. ”Once you're done with your work, we can go have a meal together,” she added.

Without waiting for Lawrence's reply, Anna made her way to the lounge and found herself a chair.

Lawrence raised his head and cast her a sidelong glance. 'Looks like I have no choice but to eat with her. I know her character. It's impossible for me to drive her away, ' he mulled.
