My Fiance Ran Away On Our Wedding Day

Chapter 83 

Anika went to work filled with anger and completely ignored Zac when he tried to talk to her on the way to work.

After finalizing the North City project, Anika concentrated on NY Company's preliminary work and moved to the new first-floor office.

Although she couldn't let trivial matters distract her from her work, it wasn't until the afternoon that she felt her anger subside.

She was about to pick up the progress reports that Sara had submitted when she heard a knock on the door.

"Please come in." Anika said.

A thin man wearing black-rimmed glasses entered after receiving the reply.

It was Jael Miles, who had just arrived.

"Ms.Anika."

Jael Miles greeted with a smile.

Anika shook her head.

"Jael, it's only been a year since we last met.Why are you being so formal?"

She and Jael Miles had known each other at T&D and had a good working relationship, which was why Anika could successfully recruit Jael Miles from T&D.It embarrassed Jael when he heard her, but he still insisted, "After all, you are my superior.Lisa also told me to thank Ms.Anika for recognizing my talents."

Jael Miles had spent many years working at Germany's top biotechnology companies, and his team can compete in terms of research and development with any competitor.

Anika promised to give Jael Miles full authority over research and development activities and gave him 20% of the original shares, showing that she trusted Jael Miles enough.

Anika was unconcerned that Jael Miles' shares would be automatically revoked if he left the company.

After all, this somewhat strict engineer was obedient to his wife.

Lisa had always desired to return home.

Anika smiled as she reflected on this and said, "Please, do not thank me.I hope our choices are mutually beneficial."

"Don't worry” Jael said and nodded.

He had more confidence because when he left T&D, Kayden waived the relevant confidentiality agreement.

Jael, who focused on research and development, did not want to ask why Kayden did this.

"A free promotion from Sam Collins.Please don't thank me for this opportunity.She came in yesterday to discuss it.She also wanted to be your friend as well."

Natie said with a slightly raised voice.

Georgia had always been Sam Collins’ favorite GD Series brand, and Natie and Sam Collins are good friends.

Although Director Adam's film "Hanging Away" was yet to be released, they had already submitted it to several film festivals.

Sam Collins had already won the best actress award at the SNA Film Festival.

"Hanging Away" and Lucy Cooper missed each other.

Because of the uproar that ensued, Sam Collins, her opposite, became the International Film Festival's hottest queen. Nowadays, a free promotion from Sam Collins's was definitely a big favor.

Anika was really pleasantly surprised.

She said with a smile, "Thank you very much.Sam Collins is your connection.I'll take you out to dinner later."

"OK, wait until I'm free.You know what I mean? Lucy Cooper will not accept any more jobs.I heard she'll be changing her career to behind-the-scenes make-up,’ Natie did not lie to her and confirmed.

"Although Philipp Jenkins is urging Kayden to get engaged, Sonia Jenkins has always looked down on her.Now that she had money, she wanted to prove that she is not just an eye-candy?" She continued.

‘The money that Lucy Cooper's had was the proceeds of the shares she had sold a few months ago.This money could have bought her food and clothing, so she started her own business.Perhaps she was trying to prove something to her” Anika thought.

"Leave her alone."

Anika said this because she couldn't think of anything else to say about her.

Natie changed the subject after noticing she didn't care, asked, "Then how are you?"

"I'm fine." Anika replied.

Natie teased her with a smile.

"I called you first thing in the morning.Aren't you still mad at Zac?"

Anika paused for a moment and then said, "Shouldn't I be angry?"

"That's right.It's natural for couples to argue from time to time.It's not like you and Kayden are still in a relationship.I used to think you were gentle.Let Zac teach you how to fall in love." Natie said.

Natie's expectations of a relationship were the clearest of Anika's.She also recognized Anika's tenacity and persistence in recognizing one thing.

However, it was Zac who forced Anika to choose between these people.

Natie sighed with emotion after she finished speaking, "In comparison, you and Kayden were like simply business partners."

‘Is my relationship with Zac a normal relationship?’ Anika wondered.

It stunned Anika for a moment before she smiled. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

"Do you think I should stop being mad at him?"

Actually, she did not know why she had lost her cool with Zac so casually.

She had always felt that doing so would drive people away, and she didn't dare to express her disappointment with people close to her.

Natie sighed, "Very Good.The bottom line is women want men that dotes on them.Based on your temper, even if you let it go a hundredfold, what he did is still far from crossing the line.Anika, enjoy your most relaxed state right now.Don't allow yourself to become too conflicted’

This last sentence took on the stance of an older sister.

Anika recognized her concern and smiled and nodded, "Alright, I understand."

Anika realized it was time to leave work after hanging up the phone.

Anika shut her laptop, took the elevator to the parking lot, and boarded the Bentley parked in its usual spot.

Zac noticed that she had said nothing after getting in the car.

He cast a casual glance at her and asked, "Are you still mad?"

Anika turned her head to look at him and thoughtfully curled her lips, but she said nothing.

For a while, the car was remarkably quiet.

When the driver drove the car out of the parking lot, Zac coughed softly and said, "Tony just called and said he had opened a private room in JH.Do you want to go sit for a while?"

Anika lowered her eyes in response to Zac's gaze.She nodded after a moment of silence.

‘Anger is anger.But in front of other people, I must still have to give him face’ she thought.

Tony and the others had already been in the private room when Anika and Zac arrived at JH.

Zac was about to open the door to the private room when Anika frowned and looked at him.

"You go in first.I just need to call Sara Bradley.I'll be back shortly.Anika noticed the purchase details for the production line that Sara sent.Zac nodded and pushed the door open, knowing the call was work- related.

She finished speaking with Sara Bradley on one side of the corridor.

Someone suddenly patted Anika on the back as she was about to enter the private room.

"Anika, what a coincidence.Tanner Bush, who had just exited another private room, smiled as he approached.Anika recognized him as a high school classmate and politely nodded.Tanner took a business card from his pocket and handed it to her.

He exclaimed enthusiastically, "We haven't seen each other in a long time.Will you be able to attend our high school reunion?"

Despite having the second-worst grades in the class, Tanner was good at eating, drinking, and playing.

He was also their class monitor.

Tanner 's group has been organizing the gatherings for the past few years.

Only Anika and Zac had never been to one.

Anika paused for a moment before replying apologetically, "I'll do my best, but I'll have to see if I have time’ Tanner did not insist.

Instead, he nodded and responding, "Okay, the location is in the class group chat.You are welcome to come over if you have the time."

"Well, if it's convenient for Zac, why don't you call him?" he politely followed up.

Anika replied with a smile, "Alright, I'll ask him."

Being smiled at by someone he secretly loved back then, Tanner scratched his head sheepishly and generously said, "Oh, yes! If you go to JH in the future, please mention my name.Tell them it's all on me so you don't have to pay!"

Tony, Tanner , and Nash founded JH together in the beginning.They were all bosses, all three of them.
