Attracted By My Ex-wife
Chapter 19 Go Out With Guys

When Emily heard what Anne said, her heart sank. Anne was very serious, so Emily's heart began to beat quite fast. She was worried that Anne's plan might be hard.

But she still asked, "Anne, what's the matter?"

"Call Kevin and ask him if I can get in touch with my friend. I promise I won't meddle in company business." Anne had a strong aura innately. When she didn't smile, she looked very no-nonsense.

But right now Emily was flustered. She felt Anne was blaming her for reporting to Kevin, rather than simply asking her to call Kevin.

But she misunderstood what Anne meant. She really asked her to call him.

Seeing Emily wringing her hands nervously, Anne didn't know what to say. Did she scare her?

She softened her tone and said, "Emily, I'm not saying you did anything wrong. Sometimes even I have to listen to Kevin."

Hearing her words, Emily raised her head slightly, but was still a little nervous.

Anne continued, "Please...I really need your help. If you feel embarrassed, give me your phone and I'll call him myself." Emily replied immediately, "No, It's not a big deal. What else do you want to ask him, Anne?"

"Just what I asked."

Emily called Kevin with Anne right there with her. Kevin was in a meeting, but he didn't look happy. His furrowed eyebrows showed his displeasure.

The meeting was supposed to be held an hour ago, but Cherry went to him and told him in person that Anne was not feeling well. She stopped by to visit her that morning, but Anne wouldn't even come to the living room to talk.

When he heard this, Kevin immediately stood up from his chair and asked his secretary to delay the meeting. He rushed to Anne's residence with Cherry in tow. When he found that she was standing on the balcony safe and sound, he felt relieved.

He asked Emily what was going on. That was when he found out she wasn't ill. She'd been sleeping a lot, and slept till the afternoon.

Kevin was not satisfied with what was going on in the meeting. He frowned until the phone on the table rang.

He raised his hand and motioned the person in front of the big screen to stop. Then he picked up the phone and said to the people in the meeting room, "That's all for today's meeting. If you can't come up with a plan that I like, don't quit at the normal time. All of you stay here and work overtime!"

After saying that, he softened his tone. "Emily, do you have something to say?"

Taking a look at Anne, Emily said, "Mr. Kevin, Anne wanted me to ask you if she could call her friend? She swears up and down that she isn't going to try and run the company. She just wants to spend some time with her friends."

"Okay, but you and Sam have to follow her the whole time. Don't let her get tired. Don't let anything happen to my baby."

"Will do, boss." Emily breathed a sigh of relief. After hanging up on Kevin, she asked with a smile, "So who are you gonna call, anyway?"

Instead of answering her question, Anne smiled for the first time in so many days.

Her features were delicate and exquisite. Although she was not mega-gorgeous, she was particularly good-looking.

And now she was smiling, which stymied Emily. Emily looked straight at her and forgot her question.

Taking the phone from her hand, Anne said, "Just a good friend."

How she hoped that she had come up with this idea earlier. That way, she would have contacted Ryan already.

Kevin was domineering in some ways, but sometimes he was reasonable. He basically imprisoned Anne, and enlisted Emily and Sam as jailers.

The phone was soon connected, and Anne suddenly felt her tension drain away. She said, "It's me, Anne."

"Anne?" Ryan was surprised. He immediately stood up from his chair and asked in disbelief, "Did anything happen to you?"

"Not really. I'd like to spend some time with you. See you in the Greenlight Forest an hour from now?"

"Sounds good."

"Awesome. We can catch up then." She hung up the phone and handed it to Emily.

Emily had been standing in the room all the time. After hearing what she said on the phone, she asked carefully, "Are you really going out?"

"Yes." Anne walked to the wardrobe in a good mood.

However, Emily was a little worried. Anne said with her back to Emily, "Go and tell Sam."

By that time, Emily couldn't stop her. Once she made up her mind, she wasn't changing it for anyone.

Hearing that from Emily, Sam frowned and asked, "Did Kevin agree?"

"Yes." Emily felt like Anne had set a trap for her. She helped her get Kevin's approval, but she wasn't expect that Anne was going to do more than she had asked. And now it was too late to regret it. Sam went to prepare to get everything ready, a worried expression on his face. Anne had just gotten changed when she came out of her room. She seemed to be in a good mood, with a smile curling the corners of her mouth.

Sam was half worried and half happy. He was worried that she would be tired, but he was happy because she was in a good mood. He didn't get to see that very often.

Before leaving, Emily asked, "Anne, who are you going to see? You seem excited."

"A childhood friend." The corners of Anne's mouth lifted into a smirk.

She was wearing a grey and blue striped dress, looking noble and reserved.

In fact, she had a strong aura. Dressed in mature clothing, she always looked like a quiet and magnificent queen. Sweet casual clothes made her look more attractive and mature.

But this time she decided to dress her outfit up a little. Passersby couldn't take their eyes off of her.

When she heard that, Emily pursed her lips. Even if Anne didn't tell them who it was now, they'd definitely replace out later.

Anne was in a good mood all the way there. The car soon rolled up outside the Greenlight Forest.

The Greenlight Forest was a coffee shop. There were many trees around it and rays of sun fell on the table through the leaves. Guests sitting at the table felt like they were in a verdant forest.

It was a members-only club, exclusive and trendy.

When she found this place, Anne fell in love with it.

Ryan spotted her before she entered. He was standing near a wall of glass.

He walked quickly to the door to welcome her.

He was wearing a well-cut grey suit and a white shirt. The frown on his face made him look more austere. But his seriousness made his mature and steady charm more obvious.

As soon as he entered the coffee shop, he found the waitresses looking at him. They'd steal glances, look away quickly, and whisper among themselves. The shy ones were flushed with admiration, and the more confident ones were eager to take his order.

Ignoring the two people standing beside Anne, he asked anxiously, "I haven't been able to get ahold of you for awhile. Everything okay at home?"

After saying that, he looked at Sam and Emily with fierce hostility.

Emily acted like she didn't care.

Sam remained expressionless. He didn't care about Ryan's anger at all either.

On the contrary, Anne smiled and said, "No, I'm good. I'm just not feeling well, so I let Kevin deal with the office."

"Then why didn't you let me know?" Ryan was no dummy. He could tell there was more to the story than what Anne was telling him.

Looking at the table behind him, she said, "Let's sit down."

Ryan nodded and walked quickly to the table.

However, Anne was a step slower than before.

After sitting at the table, he asked, "Why are they following you?"

"You've met Emily before. She's my assistant." Anne smiled. Ignoring the anger in Ryan's eyes, she continued to introduce, "And Sam is our family doctor. I've known him for years."

"Are you sick?" Ryan was startled and immediately forgot how angry he got when Anne didn't contact him for a few days.

Anne shook her head and said with a smile, "No, the Fu Family requested it. Sam's a good guy. He's like a friend to me, as well as a good doctor."

Ryan felt a stabbing pain in his heart and then frowned. He felt jealous. His face was cold and his eyes were stiff. When he glared at people, he could be intimidating.

Although he was cold and fierce, Sam was an unbreakable iceberg. He turned a blind eye to Ryan's hostility and showed no fear.

"If you still didn't show up, I might have hunt Kevin down at night, threatened him with a knife and gotten him to let you go." A few seconds passed, then a smile slowly spread across Ryan's face. He was joking.

He shocked Anne at first, then made her smile.

Anne smiled and challenged him. "Why don't you do it in the daytime?"

Ryan pretended to be innocent, indicating that he was exposed by Anne. Then he said pitifully, "That might be hard. You know he's the president of AN Group."

He hid the jealousy and anger in his heart well.

Ryan was a very rational man. He knew what he wanted and how to get it, and when to back down. Although he liked Anne, he knew there was no way for him to compete with Kevin.

He was a man with a plan. He was no dreamer, he had concrete goals. Some goals might take longer to achieve than others.

He would succeed as long as he followed the plan.

After seeing Ryan, Anne felt relieved. She told Ryan that she left AN Group temporarily and suggested he could just sign the contract with Kevin.

"Although Kevin is a little domineering, he knows how to run a company. You should have heard about the story of AN Group." When she spoke about Kevin, a ghost of a smile appeared on her face.

She really regarded Ryan as a friend whom she could talk to, so she spoke the softest words in her heart without reservation.

Ryan was sensitive, and recognized the light in Anne's eyes.

He clenched his fists and rage rose in his heart.

A man in a suit stood outside the cafe, his mouth twisted into a mirthless smile, his eyes as cold as ice.

A few seconds later, he walked into the cafe. As soon as he stepped inside, he said sarcastically, "You really seize every moment to enjoy your life, Mrs. Anne. You even go out with guys when you're pregnant.'
