Chapter 834 His Charm

"Doesn't he know that I'm his best friend's girlfriend? How could he do this to me..."

"I won't apologize, because you... deserve it," Anna yelled in anger, her eyes misty with tears. She stormed out of the restaurant without looking back.

Jimmy watched as Anna got into a taxi before elegantly pulling out a tissue to wipe the wine stains off his face.

"Anna, since we've met again, you can't escape me," he thought to himself.

His phone rang and he answered when he saw Bryce's number flashing on the screen.

"Mr. Harrison, can you let go of me? I'm about to die from exhaustion," Bryce complained through the phone line.

Thinking about how Anna had defended Bryce earlier, Jimmy's eyes turned icy cold.

"I can make you even busier until you don't have time to indulge in flirting with women anymore," Jimmy said coldly.

"What happened? Did you not win over Anna and are you feeling frustrated?" Bryce guessed with a mischievous grin on his face.

"If you say one more word, I guarantee that today next year will be your... death anniversary."

The threat was so fierce that it scared Bryce into hanging up immediately. Although Jimmy wouldn't actually hurt his good friend like that but once an angry lion is awakened from its sleep... Satisfied with how things went down on the phone call, Jimmy nodded approvingly before touching his lips where there was still some heat left behind by their kiss...

...

Anna rushed home as fast as she could.

"Where is your money? The money that you earned from working? Give it to me quickly; I need it urgently."

As soon as she entered the living room, her older brother's anxious voice filled her ears.

"You went gambling again?" Anna looked disappointed.

"I gave all my money to Dad for medicine; I don't have any money left for you." She said helplessly

"How could all of your money be used to buy medicine? There must be some left!" Her brother snatched her purse away and started searching through it frantically. "You have a wealthy boyfriend, don't you? You... call him and ask for some money. Just help me pay off my gambling debt, I promise I won't gamble again." Her older brother greedily looked at Anna.

Anna sighed.

"I just started dating him, how can I ask him for money? You... are hopeless. Figure it out yourself."

Anna grabbed her purse back and quickly ran back to her room.

"Anna, if you don't give me the money, I won't be able to pay off the loan shark and I'll sell you."

Her older brother's threat echoed in Anna's ears clearly.

Anna was filled with bitterness.

She went into the bathroom when she returned to her room.

Thinking of Jimmy kissing her, Anna who had always been strong burst into tears. She rubbed her red lips hard until they were sore but still felt dirty inside. Jimmy, you bastard!

Anna kept cursing until she rubbed her lips raw before coming out of the bathroom and sadly called Bryce's phone number only to hear it ring endlessly without anyone picking up on the other end of the line. It must be Jimmy arranging too much work for Bryce so that he didn't have time to answer her phone calls.

There was a deep flame of fury burning in Anna's beautiful eyes...

At a bar -

"Mr. Stone, you are not focused today. Is it because a woman is calling you?" The woman who snuggled up in Bryce's arms said coquettishly.

"You promised me that you would accompany me tonight. You can't break you words," she added while tenderly holding his arm with soft hands. Looking at his constantly ringing phone, Bryce sighed.

It seemed that he should replace an opportunity to explain things clearly with Anna so that she wouldn't hold any illusions about their relationship anymore.

Bryce pushed away the woman in his arms and directly dialed Jimmy's number but before he could speak there came Jimmy's voice on the other end of the line -

"You're not at work."

"I'm human; I need rest too. My body isn't feeling well so... other people took over my work," said Bryce nonchalantly as he elegantly crossed one leg over another while pulling back his female companion into his embrace again.

"Mr. Harrison, I never thought you couldn't even conquer a simple woman like Anna. I really doubt your male charm in her eyes...," Bryce teased with a hint of wickedness on his lips.

"Should I step in? Act out a play for Anna and make her give up on me? Once she gives up on me, you can pursue her without any hesitation. I believe you can win her over," Bryce suggested.

"No need," Jimmy replied coldly, with a glint of determination in his eyes.

Bryce sighed as he watched the call being mercilessly hung up by his good friend Jimmy. How could he handle this situation?

"Mr. Stone, don't think about anything else," the woman beside him shook his arm coquettishly and pouted when she realized that Bryce's attention was not fully focused on her.

The woman's seductiveness made Bryce forget all his troubles and he pulled her into an embrace.

"Let's go to the room upstairs," Bryce whispered in the woman's ear as he trailed kisses down her neck...
