Chapter 108 You Are in a Real Relationship?

when Anaya returned to the company, Jayden was already waiting for her in the reception room.

Anaya walked in with a professional smile. “Jayden, I’ve made you wait for a long time.”

Jayden had a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose. He looked elegant and polite. “No, I justarrived.”

Anaya sat down opposite Jayden. “I heard that Mr. Helms comes too. Why isn’t lie here?”

“Mr. Helms went to the restroom. He’ll be back later.” Jayden got to the point. “Ms. Dutt, I heard thatyou recently bought the land of East Boston. Mr. Helms is very interested in the construction project ofEast Boston. I wonder if you would be willing to give Prudential Group a chance to cooperate?”

“It’s my honor. Of course, I can’t refuse. But…” Anaya hesitated for a moment before asking, “I wonderif Mr. Helms invested in Riven Group purely out of interest, pity, or something else?”

Jayden was slightly taken aback, not expecting Anaya to ask such a question.

“Of course, it’s for interest.”

A familiar voice came from the door. Anaya turned around and saw Hearst as expected.

Hearst walked to Anaya leisurely. “You don’t seem surprised at all that I’m here,” he said, looking downat her.

“What’s so surprising about you appearing here with Jayden? You are the president of PrudentialGroup and he is your special assistant.” Anaya said indifferently.

She had faintly sensed Hearst’s identity before. Now that it had been confirmed, she was indeed nottoo surprised. In her heart, she even felt relieved since her guess was confirmed.

Hearst pulled the chalr next to her and sat down. “Ms. Dutt, you are very smart.” His long legs crossed.

“I’m flattered.” Anaya put on a serious expression and asked again, “Why did you invest in thisproject?”

In the case that the Maltz family once again suppressed Riven Group, Hearst stood out to support her.It was reasonable for her to think he did it for some other reasons.

“I have already answered this question,” Hearst spoke unhurriedly. “Businessmen strive for profit. I amonly interested in a project of big interest. It has nothing to do with other people and other matters.”

Hearing this, Anaya was slightly relieved.

She owed him a lot, and she did not want to accept his charity anymore.

East Boston’s project would produce a huge benefit. If he took the profit, she would not owe himanything.

The two talked for an hour and decided on some basic things for the time being. They still needed totalk about the

contract later.

Hearst and Jayden prepared to leave. Anaya went downstairs to send them off.

Walking to the parking lot, Jayden noticed that their car tires had been pricked.

“Mr. Helms, our car tires are leaking. It seems to have been pricked.”

Hearing this, Hearst frowned, “Call Samuel. Ask him to drive a call here.”

He had mysophobia, so his first reaction was not to call a taxi, but to let Samuel get over.

Jayden nodded, taking out his phone.

Out of courtesy, Anaya said politely, “i’ın going to get off work too, How about I send you back?”

She was just being polite, but she did not expect Hearst to really agree. “Thanks, Ms. Dutt.”

Anaya didn’t know what to say.

When she met Hearst’s siniling eyes, she knew that he was doing it on purpose.

However, it was not good for her to refuse him now, so she could only respond, “No trouble.”

She took them to the car and let the two get in.

The teddy bear on the passenger seat had already been put into the box, and there was nothing in thepassenger seat.

Jayden opened the door to the back seat, letting his boss sit in the front seat.

“Where are we going?” Anaya asked as she started the car.

Hearst fastened his seat belt. “Cloud Villa.”

Half an hour later, the car stopped at the foot of Cloud Villa.

Hearst did not immediately get out of the car. “How about having a look inside?”

Anaya was just about to refuse when Hearst continued, “I just bought a few types of sugar fromAustralia. You can have a taste.”

Anaya held back her words.

If it wasn’t because she had eaten so much of Hearst’s sugar body without any problems, it would behard for her not to suspect that there was something like poppy added to the sugar.

“Sorry to disturb you.”

Anaya followed Hearst up the stairs, only to notice that Jayden lad disappeared.

When she entered, Hearst took a few small bottles containing colored candy and gave them to her,“These are all newly produced ones.”

“Thank you.”

Anaya got the candy and impatiently took one.

It was sweet and fragrant as if the fatigue of the day was gone.

She put the rest of the candy into her bag and was about to leave.

Hearst added, “Let’s have a meal together.”

Anaya took his imported candy and couldn’t refuse, so she agreed.

In fact, there was another reason. She really wanted to enjoy food made by Hearst. He was so good atcooking.

She did not have many hobbies, other than earning money, she liked delicious food.

After dinner, it was already completely dark outside.

She didn’t let Hearst send her off and went downstairs alone.

When she arrived downstairs, Anaya opened the candy bottle and threw a light purple candy into hermouth. She looked up and saw several bodyguards standing beside her car. There was a wheelchair inthe middle of the

bodyguards.

She was familiar with the person sitting in the wheelchair.

The candy in her mouth was instantly not sweet.

She really wanted to bypass that guy directly, but her car was over there, and she had to go over.

Joshua noticed her the moment she went out, staring straight at lier approaching him.

“Mr. Maliz, do you like following people?” Anaya stood in front of him.

In fact, she noticed that there was a car following her when she came.

At that time, she thought that it was just a normal guy who lived in a nearby place and did not pay muchattention to

1. it.

At that moment, secing that the car was parked behind her and there were several bodyguardsstanding next to it, she understood.

This person had yet to recover from his illness and ran out of the hospital to follow her. She did notknow what was wrong with him.

Joshua originally just wanted to replace Anaya to ask about the teddy bear, but lie did not expect to see herenter Hearst’s house and stay for two hours.

He did not answer lier question. He waved at the bodyguards behind him and waited for them to leavebefore asking in a low voice, “You and Hearst are in a real relationship?”

Other than this reason, he couldn’t think of any other reason that could make Anaya enter Hearst’shouse and stay thiere for so long

What had they done in these two hours?

At the thought of a certain possibility, Joshua felt a tightness in his chest, and it was extremelyuncomfortable.

“This seems to have nothing to do with you, Mr. Maltz.” Anaya’s cyes were filled with alienation, andher tone was extremely cold.

Joshua tightened his grip on the wheelchair and asked, “What were you doing upstairs with Hearst justnow?”

“I don’t have the obligation to answer your question.” Anaya looked at the car behind Joshua. “You areblocking my car. Please get out of the way.”
