Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 1693 All Hope Is Gone (Part Two)

"What do you think? When you wake up and find that the one you love is not there, how do you think

you will feel? So, Annie, don't make him wait too long for you. In these last few years, he has been

through so much, not to mention the KD business. All of his friends have married and have children of

their own, while he is still single and so lonely. Maybe you feel like you are having a hard time, but

there are two beautiful children with you and what about him? He has no close family members around

him except for his friends." After getting to know men like Rain, you would find that they were not as

perfect as they might look. They all had their weaknesses which they preferred not to show on the

surface for all to see.

"Belinda, do you really think that I am the one he is waiting for?" It was reasonable for Annie to

question if Rain was truly waiting for her, especially after the way he had treated her.

"Are you kidding me? Annie, please don't ever let Rain hear those words from you. Otherwise, he

would be deeply hurt," Belinda said, looking at her in disbelief. She thought that the misunderstandings

between them were cleared up. But now, it seemed there were still some misunderstandings between

them.

"I don't know. I just don't feel like he really needs me," Annie said flatly. In her mind, the only reason

why Rain would propose to her was only for the sake of the children. Not because he was in love with

her.

"Annie, what does your heart say? Don't just look at things on the surface, but feel them with your

heart. I heard that you were in love with him for many years. You had even been courting him for years,

so you are supposed to know him better than any of us. In regards to the question, if he needs you or

not, we can't give you the right answer. You should look into your own heart for the answer," Belinda

said sincerely. After hearing how Annie felt, she began to worry about Rain's future.

Annie thought for a moment in silence, thinking about everything that Belinda had just told her. Her

children had taken up so much of her time and filled her with so much love, that she didn't feel that she

needed Rain so much as before. This also led her to ignore the true feelings that she felt in her heart

for him.

Annie was still in deep thought when she left Belinda's office. She didn't even notice Eleanor Xiao, who

had come in for an audition and bumped right into her.

"Designer Annie, watch where you are going! What are you thinking about?" Eleanor brushed her Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

clothes down with her hand as if she was wiping dirt away that she got from bumping into Annie.

"Miss Xiao, I'm sorry. I'll bring you the accessories that you will be wearing today," Annie said

apologetically, snapping out of her thoughts.

"Fine," Eleanor said as she arrogantly walked into the large indoor studio of YS Group, treating Annie

as if she were her maid.

Annie took a deep breath, and she reminded herself that she needed to tolerate Eleanor, for Belinda's

sake.

Eleanor was a model and was suppose to work with the designer's requirements. However, she was

very bossy and hard to work with. Things were done on her terms and her way, she wasn't very

cooperative with Annie at all.

Not only did Eleanor belittle Annie, but she even showed very little regard for Belinda. Yet Belinda was

not as easygoing as Annie. Just as Eleanor was fussing and making a scene in the studio, Belinda

walked in.

"Miss Xiao, do you think that the advertisement for our YS Group can't be made without you?" Belinda

questioned Eleanor angrily. If the person had been anyone other than Annie that Eleanor was bullying,

she wouldn't have cared or even shown up. But since the person that was being bullied was Annie, it

was a totally different situation.

"Isn't it true, though? If the vice president of FX International hadn't personally invited me, I would never

have stepped into YS Group." Eleanor had never met Belinda before, so her attitude towards her was

very arrogant and disrespectful.

"Oh, Is that so? If I say you could be kicked out of this industry forever, by the YS Group, would you still

be so contemptuous?" Belinda asked with a mocking smile. Eleanor had just started her modeling

career and yet she still dared speak to Belinda in that tone and manner. To some extent, Belinda found

it amusing and admired her courage.

"Are you kidding me? You, an ordinary worker thinks that you could ruin my career, dream on!" Eleanor

said resentfully, looking Belinda up and down. In truth, Belinda was even more beautiful than she was.

However, Eleanor wrongly assumed that Belinda was a secretary judging by the sophisticated suit that

she was wearing.

"Well! Miss Xiao, she is not an ordinary worker, but the president of the YS Group." Eleanor's agent

said in an uneasy tone. He blamed himself for not informing her earlier so that she wouldn't make such

a fool out of herself and show such disrespect towards Belinda.

"Who cares? Do you think that your YS Group is more powerful than our FX International Group?"

Eleanor said disdainfully. 'It's a well-known fact that FX International Group is the leader in S City. How

could such a small group like YS be compared to the FX International?' Eleanor couldn't help but

wonder.

"Well, of course, we are not as powerful as FX. But you obviously haven't heard that the relationship

between FX and YS is very close. I could even ask the whole FX team to work for me, let alone an

insignificant model such as yourself." It was the first time that Belinda had ever met a person like

Eleanor who wanted to bite off more than she could chew. 'Even some bigger stars wouldn't have been

so conceited like that. You should really take a good look at yourself and check to see if you have the

goods to act like that. Did you really think that YS chose you because of your popularity? Of course not!

It's just that you happened to have a lot in common with the range of accessories that we're about to

launch, ' Belinda thought, irritated.

"Who are you trying to bluff? I just don't believe that you can do that." Eleanor started to feel uneasy

after finding out all of the information that Belinda had just told her. In their circle, there were a lot of

famous people with their own influence. Belinda, might just be one of them.

"If you don't believe me, you can continue with your bad working attitude and find out what I am

capable of doing. Or, if you don't want to find out, then I suggest you cooperate and don't let something

like this happen ever again!" Belinda said flatly. She didn't return kindness for arrogance.

Eleanor pursed her lips, disgruntled. In the back of her mind, she worried that Belinda really could ruin

her career so she dared not provoke her any further. She turned her eyes on Annie, giving her a hateful

look. She blamed her for causing all of this commotion and embarrassing her in front of so many

people.

Annie was grateful to Belinda, who showed up in time. She saved her a lot of trouble now and with any

future dealings with Eleanor. Although Belinda was speaking on behalf of the company to keep Eleanor

under control, it was also an indirect way of helping Annie out.
