Chapter 51

Chapter 51 A Boyfriend who Drives a Taxi

The taxi stopped below the apartment.

Anaya opened the car door and got out. Hearst followed.

“Aren‘t you going home?”

Hearst said calmly, “I‘ll help you change your dressing.”

Anaya was caught in the rain, so the gauze on her shoulder was wet. Her wound would get infected easily if she did not attend to it in time.

“I can do it myself.”

“Are you sure?”

She didn‘t say anything.

Because she wasn‘t.

Since she was wounded, she couldn‘t get her hand up on that side of the shoulder. It was difficult for her to wrap herself in gauze. What was more, her back was wounded as well. She could not see the wound on her back and could not change the dressing by herself.

But she did not want Hearst to enter her apartment again.

It was OK in the past. However, he had just expressed his feelings for her not long ago, and she would feel a bit strange letting him enter her place.

As if seeing through her, he said, “Don‘t worry. I will not touch you.”

Anaya did not say anything.

Hearst sighed, “I will help you change at the door.”

Anaya was silent for a long time. Then she said, “OK then. Do not set foot in my apartment.”

“OK”

Anaya was always stubborn at some weird point.

Hearst kept his word and did not enter the door.

Anaya stood in the corridor with her shoulders exposed, and she felt a little awkward.

The neighbor came back. Seeing the strange behavior of the two, he couldn‘t help but glance at them a few more

times.

Anaya‘s face was flushed with embarrassment.

She thought, am I nuts or what? Otherwise, how could I do something so stupid?

Hearst quietly moved closer to her. His tall figure shielded her from the prying eyes of the outsider completely.

Hearst turned back to look at the neighbor with a warning look in his eyes.

The neighbor, who was looking at them, trembled. Then he quickly opened the door to his apartment and went inside

After changing the dressing, Anaya thanked Hearst and said, “I‘ll return your coat after washing it.”

“OK.”

Get Bey

She turned around and pushed the door open. Standing behind her, he stopped her, “Ms. Dutt.”

Anaya turned around. He looked at her intently and said in a deep and mellow voice, “Good night.”

Somehow, her heart skipped a beat.

She said goodnight to him, entered the apartment, and closed the door.

She leaned against the door and listened to the fading footsteps outside.

The footsteps could no longer be heard, and the night became quiet.

Anaya was about to enter the living room when her phone’s notification sounded out. She was startled, and her heart shrunk abruptly.

It was a message from the high school female class monitor, asking if Anaya was going to the class reunion on Sunday night.

Anaya had nothing to do that day, so she agreed.

On the weekend, Aracely drove over to pick Anaya up.

“Is your wound better?”

Aracely didn’t know Anaya was injured until she accidentally patted Anaya’s shoulder a few days ago, and Anaya cried out in pain.

Though Anaya was injured, she still cooked for Aracely. At the thought of that, Aracely was moved.

Aracely thought, Anaya is the best! She is my bestie, and no one is as wonderful as her in America!

“It barely hurts. I’ll be fine soon. Let’s go,” said Anaya, who had just fastened her seatbelt.

The one organizing today’s gathering was one of their classmates who came from a rich family. Aracely and Anaya headed straight to Royal Hotel, which was the venue for today’s gathering.

The hotel was crowded on the weekend, and they could barely find an available parking space nearby.

They circled the parking lot and finally found a parking space.

Aracely turned the steering wheel, ready to back the car into the parking space.

A red Benz suddenly sped up, grazed the Maserati’s rear end, and careened into the parking space.

A woman with heavy makeup got out of the car. She had big, wavy hair, and her brown sunglasses almost covered

most of her face. However, the arrogance on her face was still obvious.

She smiled at Anaya and Aracely complacently.

Aracely was a little angry. “How could she do this? I can’t believe she took the spot we had our eyes on first! No way! I’ll go argue with her!”

Anaya held Aracely. “Forget it. She is not worth getting angry about. Don’t waste your time with her. Let’s find another spot.”

“Fine…”

Aracely was about to drive the car away. Suddenly, the woman outside shouted, quickly walked over to their side, and knocked on the passenger window.

The woman’s face was full of anger. “Are you blind? You scraped my car!”

The woman’s tone was unfriendly. Hearing that, Aracely and Anaya pulled long faces.

Anaya lowered the car window and said with slight displeasure, “Ms. Birken, it was you who sped up and rushed over just now. I think it’s quite the other way around.”

Ort Hair

Seeing that the person in the car was Anaya, Karen was even more furious, and her tone became even more impatient. She raised her voice and said, “Nonsense! You scraped my car! You can’t leave today until you pay me!”

Karen hated Anaya’s guts anyway. After what had happened, she wanted to rip Anaya off badly.

“What if I say no?”

Anaya looked at Karen with terrifying sharpness in her eyes. Seeing that, Karen was less arrogant at once.

But soon, Karen became confident again.

Lexie told Karen that Joshua had withdrawn his investment from Riven Group for Lexie herself, and Riven Group was not doing well right now.

With the company going down, Anaya would soon have no one to rely on.

No matter how domineering Anaya looked right now, she was just bluffing.

“Anaya, don’t be so arrogant. I know your secret!”

“Really? What secret?”

“Stop playing dumb! Don’t you have a boyfriend who drives a taxi? Come on! You are the daughter of the Dutt family after all. Won’t you be humiliated if words get out?”

A boyfriend who drove a taxi? Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Anaya thought for a moment and remembered that she and Hearst had helped a driver change shifts before.

Did she and Hearst look like a couple?

Where did Karen have such an idea?

“He is not my boyfriend.”

“Yeah, right! I saw you that day! If he was not your boyfriend, why did you two pull over and talk? What is it? Are you ashamed that you find yourself a boyfriend with such a low income, and you won’t admit it?”

Karen simply sounded more and more ridiculous. Anaya pushed open the door and got out of the car.

Anaya was wearing white shoes with flat bottoms, but she was as tall as Karen, who was with high heels.

When Anaya wasn’t smiling, she somehow made people feel oppressed.

Karen couldn’t help but take a step back due to Anaya’s gaze and said, “You… You want to get physical?”

“Don’t worry. I won’t if you won’t.” Anaya’s lips curved slightly, but her eyes were cold. “I heard that you have been a mistress since college and cheated several old men out of money. What is it? Wasn’t the money enough for you? That’s why you come here and blackmail me?”

Karen flared up since Anaya hit her sore spot. “You’re a mistress! They gave me their money willingly!”

“Really?” Anaya leaned against the car. “I don’t know if you have heard of it, but a new law has been issued recently. Whoever becomes someone’s mistress and gets involved with financial transactions of more than 8 thousand dollars

shall be counted as a criminal. And they shall be imprisoned for at least three years. Ten years, most. I happen to know a few private detectives. Maybe I‘ll make some calls to see your relationship with them.”

Karen was so furious that her face went red, but she didn‘t dare to provoke Anaya anymore. She braced herself and said. “If you don‘t want to pay me, just say it. There‘s no need to beat around the bush! You know what? I don‘t want your stinky money!”

She turned around and was about to leave when Anaya grabbed her wrist. “Ms. Birken, you scraped our car and haven‘t paid for it yet.”

“What the hell? You hit my car!”

“I see. You want me to do some digging about you, right?”

After a pause, Karen said, “How much do you want?”

“32 thousand dollars.”

“You want me to give you 32 thousand dollars for a bit of car paint? This is a rip–off!”

“What is it? Are you saying no?”
