Chapter 226 It’s Too Close
Anaya dragged Hearst and walked for a long distance. When she came back to her senses, they had already arrived at an unknown place.
Anaya let go of Hearst’s hand. “Mr. Helms, I’m sorry to have got you involved…”
Hearst was also going to work, but Anaya pulled him over.
“It doesn’t matter. I can’t stay out of your affairs to begin with.”
Seeing that Hearst wasn’t angry, Anaya breathed a sigh of relief. She turned around and walked
toward the edge of the sidewalk. Anaya walked to the road and said, “Mr. Helms, I’ll hail a taxi for you. I’ll pay the fare.”
She stopped by the side of the road. The person behind her suddenly called out to her, “Anaya.”
“Huh?”
Anaya turned her head, and Hearst stood behind her
The familiar smell pressed against her face. Her nose brushed past his tie and gained the fragrance
of herbs.
Anaya felt her heart suddenly skip a beat.
Anaya subconsciously wanted to retreat. Then she remembered that behind her were the steps at the junction of the sidewalk and the road. Anaya managed to withdraw her raised foot and push.
Hearst’s chest instead.
“Mr. Helms, it’s too close.”
Hearst took a step back like a gentleman to keep a distance from her.
His expression was calm. His eyes were as quiet as a distant mountain. But they were also like a meandering stream, implying a bit of softness.
“I call you by your nickname, but you always call me Mr. Helms. Isn’t that too distant?”
Anaya thought that this person had been pushing his luck recently.
But she didn’t feel angry about it.
They had known each other for a long time, so it seemed fine for Anaya to call Hearst by his
nickname.
“What should I call you?” she asked after some thought.
Hearst lightly opened his thin lips and slowly said, “Jordy.”
….
Hearing that, Anaya was completely stunned.
Jordy.
Jordy.
When she was young, she once met a youth.
He had no home, no relatives, and no name.
Anaya named him Jordy. And the full name was Jordy Helms.
Her mother said that Jordy was older than her, and she should respect him.
So, Anaya had been very nice to Jordy.
Afterward, Jordy disappeared. In order to find him, Anaya’s parents went abroad and encountered a
terrorist attack. People couldn’t even find their whole bodies.
From then on, Anaya’s grandfather was her only family.
As for Jordy, her friend, the person she was closest to other than Adams, there was still no news of him.
Anaya opened her mouth, wanting to call out to Hearst, but in the end, she didn’t utter a single syllable.
When Hearst saw that Anaya was in a quandary, his eyes dimmed a little. “Or Jared.”
Compared to the first name, Anaya was more willing to accept the second one, Jared.
Hearst pursed his thin lips and said, “Um.”
At this time, a taxi happened to come over. Hearst walked past Anaya and hailed it. “You can get in the car now.”
“What about you?” Anaya did not move.
“I’ll wait for the next one.”
Anaya hesitated for a moment and did not refuse. After thanking Hearst, she directly got in the car.
After the taxi left, Hearst still stood where he was.
A Cayenne stopped in front of him.
Jayden got down from the passenger seat and respectfully opened the door for Hearst.
Hearst got in the car. Samuel restarted it. Seeing Hearst’s gloomy face, he asked, “Hearst, why are you unhappy? Are you disappointed because you didn’t share a car with Anaya?”
Jayden looked at Samuel indifferently
Lavden thought, he has survived until now thanks to Mr. Helms’ tolerance and generosity
If it was me, this guy would have been thrown into the river and died several times.
Hearst looked out the window with an indifferent expression and did not reply.
Samuel did not notice his displeasure and continued to ask, “Hearst, why aren’t you saying anything? Was I right? I can ask someone to stop Anaya’s car…”
“Samuel Jennings.”
Hearing Hearst call him by his full name, Samuel was so scared that he immediately sat up straight. “Yes?”
“You will deal with the Giles family’s matter.”
After Layla was taken home, she urged her father to play some small tricks.
Although they were all small problems, there were many of them. It was a bit troublesome to deal withi, and it would take a lot of time.
Most importantly, Samuel would have to go abroad,
Samuel felt like crying.
He still had to date his girlfriend!
“Hearst, why don’t you let Jayden do it? His working ability is better than mine. Even if I go, I will only be able to fight…”
“You will handle it,” Hearst said in a tone that did not allow any arguments.
Samuel cried.
He felt sad, but he didn’t say it.
After getting out of the car, Hearst walked in front. Samuel pulled Jayden. “Jayden, why don’t you go abroad for me?”
Jayden calmly stated, “Mr. Helms won’t agree.”
Samuel didn’t believe it. “Why wouldn’t he agree? My girlfriend can’t live without me. It’s hard for us to be apart for even one day You’re single. No one will miss you even if you go…”
“It is because you have a girlfriend that Mr Helms asked you to go there.”
Samuel was sturined.
He thought, Hearst did it on purpose?
No way…
Hearst doesn’t look like a narrow-minded person…
Seeing the look of disbelief on his face, Jayden could not be bothered to waste time with Samuel. Jayden gave Samuel a look as if looking at an idiot and quickened his pace to catch up to Hearst.
After Anaya got back to the company, she dealt with a few work emails. Then her phone rang. It was
an unfamiliar number.
“Hello?” she said.
“Anaya…”
As soon as Joshua’s voice came out of the phone, Anaya immediately hung up and blocked the number. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Joshua called her with several different numbers.
For the convenience of work, Anaya couldn’t set an automatic interceptor on her phone to block
unfamiliar numbers.
Joshua kept pestering Anaya until noon. She could not bear it anymore. After picking up the phone, she asked in an extremely nasty tone, “Are you crazy? What are you trying to do?”
Being yelled at by Anaya, Joshua was not as angry as before, and he seemed to be pleading.
“Anaya, I want to meet you. There are many misunderstandings between us. I want to make it clear to you…
“I’ve already made it very clear. I’m not interested in anything related to you.” Anaya tried her best to suppress her anger. “Also, don’t call me Anaya. I’m not familiar with you and it sounds disgusting
If you call again, I will send the scandal between you and Lexie to the media. If you are not afraid of losing face, you can continue to call!”
With that, Anaya hung up the phone directly.
For the rest of the day, Joshua didn’t call again.
Anaya’s mood improved a little But when she got off work and walked out of the office, she saw Lexie waiting for her outside
Lexie’s injury seemed to be more serious than last night. Her face was swollen.
Anaya guessed that it was due to Joshua.
When that scum beat a woman, he would not show mercy like other men.
Lexie waited at the door for a while. When Lexie saw Anaya come out, she quickly went up to her.
“Anaya!” Lexie was a little angry. As Lexie called her name loud, she remembered that she had come to ask Anaya for help, so she softened and changed the way she addressed Anaya. “Ms. Dutt, has Joshua told you about the matter between him and me?”
