Chapter 943
Something very important?
Anastasia raised an eyebrow.
She and Serena had never met before. What important business could there possibly be between them?
She didn’t want to waste her time here, but seeing Serena’s pleading and cautious eyes, she nodded. “A meal won’t be necessary. If you have something to say, Ms. Mitchell, you can say it directly p>
Seeing her agree, Serena’s expression relaxed. “Then could we find a place to sit and talk p>
Anastasia nodded.
A few minutes later, the two entered a nearby café.
As Anastasia sat down, wondering what Serena could possibly want from her, the other woman spoke, getting straight to the point.
“Ms. Sterling, I’m begging you, please give Timothy back to me p>
Anastasia’s hand, which had just reached for her cup, froze. She looked up at the woman opposite her, who was watching her with pleading eyes, her posture incredibly deferential.
Her lips thinned into a line. This was absurd. “What did you say p>
“I know everything. The person Timothy has fallen for is you!” Serena said. “Timothy and I have been engaged for almost two years. We were supposed to get married this year, but now p>
“Ms. Mitchell!” Anastasia cut her off, her expression cold and impatient. “I’m not interested in the affairs between you and your fiancé. I will only state one thing: I have no relationship with Timothy. If this is why you’ve sought me out, then you’ve got the wrong person p>
With that, she stood up to leave.
But Serena had finally managed to corner her today and wasn’t about to give up so easily.
“Ms. Sterling!” She blocked Anastasia’s path. “I’m begging you. You don’t have to do much, just go and tell Timothy that there’s no future for you two, that he should marry me… That’s all. Please, will you help me p>
She gripped Anastasia’s arm tightly, her attitude utterly subservient, looking as if she were about to kneel.
The commotion drew the attention of the other patrons in the café. Hearing Serena’s words, the way they looked at Anastasia immediately turned peculiar, and they began whispering to their companions.
Anastasia didn’t need to hear to know what they were saying. Her face instantly darkened, and a wave of disgust for Serena washed over her.
She refused to believe Serena was doing this unintentionally!
With a burst of strength, she yanked her arm free.
“Ms. Mitchell, what you’re saying is completely ridiculous! Since you know who I am, you should also know that I am married and have a very good relationship with
my husband. Furthermore, I barely even know your fiancé p>
“Your fiancé is the one harassing me, which makes me the victim here! Instead of reining him in, you come to me with this nonsense. What is your intention? What, is it my fault for being attractive p>
This was a high-end café, so it was inevitable that some of the patrons would recognize Anastasia. She didn’t want her reputation ruined for no reason, and she absolutely wouldn’t allow it to affect Harrison. There
Therefore, her voice was sharp and clear, not deliberately hushed.
Sure enough, the patrons who heard her were taken aback, and their strange looks now shifted toward Serena.
Anastasia was annoyed by Serena’s manipulative tactics. It reminded her of Penelope, though it seemed Serena was much better at putting on an act. She couldn’t believe she had completely misjudged her at first glance.
“Even if you have some
misunderstanding about me, Ms. Mitchell, have made things clear now. I hope you’ll go back and keep
a light leash on your fiancé and stop him from bothering me again For that, I would be most grateful p>
