Ann was ashamed and annoyed, and for a moment, she didn't know what kind of emotions she was feeling.
However, Phillip seemed to be very calm. He leaned in and hugged Ann's waist from behind.
Ann suddenly froze, and Phillip leaned on her shoulder, looking at the bubbling soup in the pot.
"You seem to owe me an explanation."
As he spoke, hot air sprayed on Ann's neck, and the temperature of Ann's face continued to rise.
"What explanation? Let go of me first!"
Phillip turned off the fire on the stove and let Ann turn to look at him.
"You do understand what I said at the press conference today, right?"
He sounded certain, and Ann could not pretend that she didn't understand.
She raised her eyes and looked at Phillip and nodded with a flushed face.
Phillip smiled and asked,
"Judging from what you did, can I assume that you also like me?"
Ann's heart beat rapidly. She was lost in thoughts.
She did like him, otherwise, she would not lose her composure because of him at the exhibition.
However, she was not sure how long this could last.
With the failure of her relationship with Karl, she was timid in developing new relationships.
Ann pursed her lips and answered in a low voice.
"I'm not sure..."
Phillip looked at her lowered head and slightly trembling eyelashes. He lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead. He said in a low and gentle voice,
"I will give you time. Before that, you are not allowed to hide from me."
...
Ever since Ann promised Phillip that she would not run away, and she would consider whether to give him a chance,
Phillip's attitude towards Ann became more and more brazen as if he already regarded Ann as his.
If Ann hadn't insisted on keeping a distance in the company, rumors about the two would have already spread.
One day, Ann was carrying a pile of snacks and drinks, heading towards the Research and Development Department when a middle-aged woman dressed in a graceful and luxurious manner passed by.
Ann found that she was somewhat familiar. She turned around and wanted to see more clearly, but the things in her hands almost dropped. She could only hold them in a flurry.
When she turned around, the woman was already gone.
Melinda stopped at the elevator entrance. She looked in the direction where Ann just passed by. She frowned and asked the receptionist.
Rudy was born in a poor family, and she spent much of her time in bars and nightclubs. However, just like Jenny, she wanted to marry a rich man.
As expected, Rudy's expression turned ugly when she heard that. "She's just a shameless slut with a son. Phillip won't fall for women like her!"
Although he said this, the jealousy in his heart grew.
Recently, Betty was extremely generous to her. She had bought a lot of luxury things for Rudy so that Rudy could have a healthy baby. From the way Betty spent money, she was not like an ordinary retired teacher at all.
Betty could afford luxury things, and she could easily bail Karl from jail.
So Rudy was certain that Karl's family must be rich!
She was thinking that she had picked the right guy, but she earned that through great efforts.
However, just with her face, Ann easily hooked up with Phillip. How could Rudy not feel jealous?
What Jenny wanted was Rudy's jealousy and anger, which made Jenny even more excited.
"Now Phillip already has feelings for Ann. Moreover, Ann's face is very attractive to men. Karl was willing to stay with her for five years. He was even willing to be the father of that bastard!"
After a pause, Jenny leaned closer to Rudy with a cold look in her eyes.
"Did you forget that night when we were bullied by hooligans?"
Rudy was completely provoked by this.
Rudy clenched her fists. "Let's go up now and teach that bitch a lesson!"
