Accidental love
Chapter 224 Because I Am Worried about You

Lynn didn't give any definitive answer, causing a heated discussion.

"An actress named Lynn from Dragon Entertainment suddenly announced her retirement from acting. Can we assume that her decision has something to do with the accident happening at the awards ceremony?"

"While being interviewed, Lynn looked very tired and seemed to be intentionally avoiding reporters." "A few movies in which she plays a part are released in recent days and have been well-received. And it is hopeful that she can fight for the best actress award at the end of the year. It is really unbelievable that she would announce her retirement at this time. Could it be that she was the one who had paid the anti-fans to push Anna off the stage?"

"On the night when the awards ceremony was held, Anna was injured. However, she hung on until the end. And she didn't say publicly that she would hold anyone accountable..."

Jack knitted his brows slightly, feeling that this piece of news didn't satisfy him.

Despite the fact that Lynn had stood out, she hadn't even apologized to Anna. In that case, what was the point of her showing up?

Anna knew why Jack intended to call and spoke up hurriedly to stop him, "Forget it. It's already painful enough for someone like Lynn to be asked to retire from the showbiz... As for the apology, I don't want it from her by force."

"If she didn't offer me a sincere apology, I don't want it either. Don't waste your time on that kind of person. Jack..."

Hearing Anna's words, Jack simply couldn't refuse her.

"Okay, I will handle everything according to your wish." He got up from the sofa and laid down beside Anna as he gently hugged her into his arms, "I feel distressed for you...

Anna took sideways and nestled comfortably into his arms. Then she gently helped Jack massage his arms, "Likewise, I'm also worried about you. Not only do you have to deal with the company, but also you have to be my agent to protect me and take care of me at home... You should take a good rest, okay?"

Jack did not reply to her request. Instead, he responded with his action.

He hugged Anna a little tighter and then rested his chin on her neck as he closed his eyes.

"I have the most powerful agent in the world. I'm not afraid of anything. Nor will I take that kind of despicable trick seriously. So... You should also focus on your work and get some rest. Don't waste your time on such things."

"... Okay."

Ever since Anna came home after getting injured, Jack had forbidden her to do anything. And Anna just happened to take this opportunity to rest for a few days.

Knowing that Anna was being taken care of by Jack in every possible way, Lucy was relieved and spent her time around, including visiting Bill's office.

As soon as she reached the entrance of Bill's office, she heard a fierce quarrel coming from inside. To be precise, Bill was losing his temper with a certain female employee.

Lucy stood at the door for a while. And the more she heard, the more tightly she twitched her eyebrows.

"That's enough. Stop it when you have said enough..." Lucy couldn't stand it any longer. She pushed the door and walked in. Seeing that the female employee was still crying, Lucy handed her a tissue and said to Bill, "Sometimes, work is indeed important. So you should stop holding on to this thing. Let her go and do the remedy quickly!"

The female employee looked at Lucy gratefully.

Lucy coughed and whispered, "Aren't you leaving yet?"

Bill turned around and didn't stop her. It wasn't until the female employee wiped her tears and left that Lucy realized with a shock that she seemed to have meddled in too many things. So she laughed awkwardly, "I also make mistakes frequently. If Anna was as strict as you were, I might have resigned long ago."

"Everyone will inevitably make mistakes sometimes. You shouldn't get too angry."

Bill looked at her helplessly, "... That's because Madam knows that you will be scolded badly if you go to assist other actresses."

"You don't have to be so blunt!" Lucy muttered. Then her stomach rattled involuntarily, "You go on with your work. I'm going out to eat something."

"Wait!" Bill called out to her and then put on his jacket, "I will come along with you."

"Will he eat outside with me?"

Lucy blinked. Although they had eaten together before, it was the first time that she seemed to have experienced the atmosphere today. Especially when Bill was standing in the doorway and looking at her with a handsome smile, Lucy felt her heart was going to explode out of excitement. "What do you want to eat?" Bill asked Lucy as he swiped his card so that they could go downstairs by elevator.

Lucy thought, "He is smiling at me like this. Moreover..."

At this time, a group of employees came over, all of whom would take the elevator. Lucy looked at the distance between her and Bill and intended to stand to the side subconsciously, feeling abased. However, as soon as the door of the elevator opened, Bill hugged her shoulders in his arms and led her into the elevator.

Then a crowd of people poured in. Lucy was hit by someone and got closer to Bill's chest. She felt excited and nervous as she lowered her head, wondering whether they were indirectly hugging each other!

But in the next second, she felt that the distance between her and Bill was a bit farther.

She looked up, only to see that Bill had specifically held a distance with his arms so that Lucy could stand comfortably and avoid being pushed by others.

"Actually, you don't need to do so. I..."

As Lucy was about to open her mouth, she wondered if she was making a fool of herself, thinking that maybe Bill was just acting like a gentleman.

She kept her head down and didn't see the smile of the man in front of her, who was turning his head sideways.

When the door of the elevator opened again and the employees all walked out of the elevator, Lucy suddenly felt a little discouraged as she thought, "How nice it would have been if we were sandwiched inside the elevator all the time..."

Bill said to Lucy, "If you haven't figured out what to eat, then I'll have the final say." Seeing that she didn't object, he opened the door of the car, "Get in."

Lucy shrugged off those nonsense thoughts that she shouldn't have had on her mind and got into the car.

However, when she saw that Bill had parked the car at the downstairs of his apartment building, she was stunned and asked, "Where are we going to eat?" She remembered that there were no restaurants around here. "My house."

Bill said and took out the keys, completely ignoring Lucy's surprised expression.

She thought, "Are we specifically here for dinner?"

Lucy felt that her face was hot as if it were on fire. Based on her understanding of Bill, he should not be the kind of person who would just bring a woman home for dinner. Lucy slowly followed Bill. She was startled as soon as she entered the room and saw how messy it was.

Bill also looked somewhat unnatural and coughed, "There are too many issues in the company these days. I didn't have time to clean it up..."

Lucy dared not look Bill into his eyes and said in a low voice, "Then I will help you clean it up. I'm not very good at cooking." "Okay, I'll cook."

Lucy was startled as she watched Bill walk into the kitchen. Then there came sounds indicating that Bill was washing and cutting vegetables.

Lucy thought, "Based on our current state, do we look pretty much like a couple?"

Although they were an unmarried couple on the surface, Lucy still cherished the chance when they could get along with each other like this so much. She dared not take the first step for fear that they couldn't be friends anymore once she spoke up. Lucy thought, "It's not bad for us to maintain the current state..."

"Ouch!"

As Lucy was cleaning up the coffee table, she heard Bill's shout from the kitchen and rushed in hurriedly, "What's wrong!"

Bill had accidentally broken a bowl while cutting vegetables. Seeing that Lucy rushed in so anxiously, he looked up in embarrassment for a moment and replied, "It's nothing..."
