Chapter 38
Anika did not understand why Zac suddenly praised her.
She thought for a moment that perhaps because she was in a bad mood, so he tried to comfort her.
It was rare to be comforted by him.
Anika did not know if she would cry or laugh when she saw his shining eyes.
She smiled and nodded her head.
She replied, "Thank you for comforting me.I hope that I will be better in the future."
After a while, she remembered what happened just now and said with a frown, "It seems that every time I meet Kayden, you always come very quickly”
The man gave her a faint glance and said softly, "Is that so?"
He then said, "I have to watch closely so that I won't go astray."
Anika choked slightly.
She felt that he was implying that she was being entangled by Kayden again today, so it was better for him to 'set an example’ on such an occasion.
"Don't worry, as long as you don't get divorced, I won't embarrass you,’’ she couldn't help but tug at the corner of her mouth.
She didn't expect Kayden to appear.
However, after today, he should give up.
The car stopped steadily at the entrance of the villa.
The two of them opened the door and got out of the car.
Zac's footsteps were neither fast nor slow as he walked ahead.
After slowly pressing down on the fingerprint lock of the villa, he paused slightly and rubbed his eyebrows.
"Anika."
"Huh?"
"Help me"
His voice was a little low.
Anika lifted her eyes to look at him through the soft light above the eaves.
The man's half-drooping eyelids were dyed with a faint poplar color because of the alcohol.
His drunken eyes were slightly tipsy, and his tall body was covered with half of the light.
The shadow on the ground was pulled very long.
He didn't know if it was because he was drunk and dizzy, but Zac's expression was now rough, causing Anika's voice to be somewhat obedient.
Anika felt that his eyes were loose and his calm appearance was quite pleasing to the eye.
She smiled and reached out to support Zac's arm, placing it on her shoulder.
A faint smell of alcohol lingered around the tip of her nose.
On the side of her head, she saw the man's shredded hair scattered in front of his forehead, shadowing her handsome silhouette. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
After a lot of effort, she finally helped him up the stairs.
However, when they arrived at the bedroom door, Zac did not reach out to unlock the door.
"Zac?"
Anika turned her head and found that he was already half asleep with his eyes closed and his breathing relaxed.
Fortunately, she had the access to the villa's security.
Anika shook her head and opened the door.
A minute later, he finally threw the somewhat heavy man onto the wide and soft bed.
Just as she was about to get up and leave, her gaze suddenly stopped on Zac's calm face.
The man lay there quietly.
‘‘He looks a little bit more cute when he's asleep”
However, even in his sleep, there was a frown between his straight eyebrows, as if he hadn't completely relaxed.
Recalling Nataly's words, Anika stretched out her fair and slender knuckles and gently smoothed his slightly frigid eyebrows.
The dean always said that he could have a good dream.
After the banquet of the Dain Family, Zac immediately went abroad on a business trip.
He could not return until the weekend.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony for the North City Project was finally set for the end of the month.
However, Anika had not been idle these past few days.
She was busy submitting the design and planning the project that the department would review.
She had Peter go to the Environmental Protection Bureau a few times to approve the environmental protection submissions.
The government's process is slow and sometimes secretive.
However, Zac talked the people from the Planning Bureau for her before he went on a business trip.
They approved it very quickly when Zac talked about it.
Of course, there was still a lot of work to be done.
In the blink of an eye, it was Friday.
Anika and Sarah stayed at the Planning Bureau for more than half a day and finally got the approved plan.
As soon as she got on the car, she received a message from Nataly on Messenger.
Nataly said, "Hurry up, hurry up, look at Facebook.I want you to see how Lucy is doing around this time."
Anika raised her eyebrows slightly, then closed her Messenger and opened Facebook.
On the hot search, Lucy's name directly occupied the first two.
"Cousin Lucy."
"Lucy…”After clicking on it, one of the Instagram posts had already reached 100,000.
@ Entertainment Secrets: Brother Secret recently received a private message from a netizen, revealing that a female artist who faked her education and tried to cheat in the ICI exam was cleared up by the artist's father.
Below was the netizen who sent a record of Cooper detention, confession, and a photo of Cooper and the female artist.Whether it is true or not, everyone will decide for themselves.
Although the photo of Lucy and the female artist had been blurred by the blogger, there were only a few female celebrities in the entertainment industry who had been set up by wealthy men.
Netizens quickly recognized Lucy because of the red mole on her hand and identified her as Lucy.
The comments on Facebook are already one-sided.
"Last time, Mrs.Sonia made a statement and slapped her face.The fans couldn't bash her, so they started to talk about Lucy and Faith affair's.How long has it been?"
"Faith, who allowed her cousin to cheat, disgusting! How difficult it is for ordinary people to take the ICI exam.She cheated and even made a fortune"
"It's against the law to organize cheating in a big exam like the ICI, isn't it? This kind of person must be punished severely and can't be let off so easily"
"Her cousin and her father who helped clean up the aftermath of the legal cafe.Lucy's family is not good."
"Tsk, Lucy's image have completely collapsed this time, right? Faith was still able to forcefully attend a fashion show without being invited? It really opened my eyes about them”
The fashion show that Lucy was forced to attend in the commentary was the one that Bea held at the Convention and Exhibition Center.
Facebook quickly forwarded that netizens were accused of cheating on the organization of bad actions.
Although Shawn Cooper was the one who was cheated by the organization, the anger of the netizens could no longer be concealed.
After Shawn finished, he started to follow Lucy's past journey.
At this time, Bea’s official blog suddenly issued a statement, saying that Lucy had never been invited to the new product launch, implying that Lucy had obtained the ticket to the fashion show through improper means.
Many fans knew that Lucy had never participated in Bea's press conference in the past.
This was the only time that Bea had ignored her in time.
While the netizens mocked Lucy, they also started to leave messages on the blog of the brand officials who had cooperated with Lucy.
Brands that reacted quickly enough in public relations issued statements saying they will terminate the contract with Lucy and reserve the right to hold her liable for breach of contract.
In the past, negative news about Lucy would be quickly deleted, but this time, it was still on the hot search list.
After a few hours of public scrutiny, her image fell to the bottom of the valley, and she even received a buttload of lawsuits for breach of contract.
As for Shawn, he probably wouldn't be able to avoid going to prison after the incident.
Alena Paige laughed.
"This is so fast! I'd like to see if Kayden can help Lucy clean up this time! Nataly: [I don't know who Lucy provoked.That marketing number obviously has a backer.Otherwise, Gavyn Austin would have searched for it long ago.Now that Kayden wants to deal with the aftermath, he won't be able to complete it]
Alena Paige: [All the endorsements were cancelled, and there were many fans who turned to back to her.How could Lucy continue to work in the entertainment industry?]
Nataly: [After all, she has been arrogant for so long.There are still a lot of people waiting to see if anyone can help her.If the search continues tomorrow, she probably won't be able to suppress the things she did on the set.She deserved it.In the past, she relied on her backers to arrange things, but now, there were still plenty of people waiting to hit her when she fell into a well.]
Anika was not in a hurry to reply to their messages, but first called back to the old house and instructed Boris not to mention Lucy to his grandfather.
Although Grandpa had opposed Lucy's entry into the entertainment industry and had never watched such news, Lucy was still Grandfather's granddaughter.
She probably didn't want to hear about Lucy's embarrassment.
Lucy had a bad relationship with her, so she still had some misgivings about the old man who loved her.
At the very least, when she returned to the old mansion last time, she had fulfilled Anika’s words about the wedding.
Anika only hoped that the other party would not spill these troublesome things in front of her grandfather.
