Chapter 251 What Engagement?



The afternoon atmosphere in one of the restaurants on the 31st level was as busy as ever, filled with people coming for afternoon tea while taking in the stunning views of the city in the afternoon.

At one table, two women seemed to be enjoying tea while eating a small cake provided on the set menu they ordered earlier. The two of them just sit still there, without saying anything.

One was waiting for the person who invited her to come here to speak first, while the person who had invited, was thinking how she should say that to the woman in front of her.

Suddenly, Anna placed her teacup on the table, she positioned herself to lean on the chair and stared at Sarah. Her facial expression seemed to change.

"I'm not going to beat around the bush," said Anna starting her sentence.

Hearing that, Sarah also put her cup on the table and looked at Anna.

"Do you still have feelings for Steve?" asked Anna with a serious expression and a sharp look on her face. Her eyes looked as if they wanted to piece Sarah, to see if she was going to lie or tell the truth.

Sarah was a little surprised when she heard the question. To be honest, she could slightly guess that Anna would bring this up, but she immediately pushed that thought away and thought that Anna wanted to keep it a secret that they had actually known each other before.

Though it wasn't a pleasant introduction.

"Steve and I are just friends," Sarah said confidently.

"You are sure?" Anna asked, looking at Sarah suspiciously. "I know there was something between you two," she continued flatly.

Sarah was surprised again when she heard those words. She thought Anna was just worried because she and Steve were pretty close as friends. However, now it all made sense.

Anna knew that she and Steve had a relationship.

So in the woman's eyes, she is not just a friend, but her husband's ex.

Well… how ironic that in her eyes too, that woman was the ex of her ex-husband.

"Yeah, it was a temporary relationship and my feelings for him right now are feelings of gratitude as a friend, and nothing more," Sarah said with a smile.

She did have a few flutters and thought about having a relationship with him, but that was before she found out about her pregnancy. After that, her feelings for Steve slowly began to disappear.

"And I'm sure Steve feels the same way. He loves you very much, so you don't have to worry," continued Sarah, then shared how Steve always talked about his girlfriend, and how happy he was when his girlfriend accepted his proposal while they were talking on the phone.

Anna's lips involuntarily smiled when she heard that. She knew that her husband loves her, but hearing that her husband had actually told other people that he loves her, it felt good.

"But if you're still worried, I'll stay away from Steve," Sarah said, trying to offer what she could do.

Even though it's a shame because Steve has always been a good friend to her, Sarah knows that Steve already has his own family, and if because of him that family will eventually fall apart, then Sarah must make this choice.

This is for Steve's sake.

Anna was still listening to Sarah's words, trying to see every demeanor and expression on her face, hoping she could see a lie there before she finally sighed.

"No need. I'm sorry, I seem to be a little paranoid lately," Anna said, then took her glass again and took a sip of her tea.

"I decided to go back to work, and although I don't want to admit it, I seem afraid that something will happen between the two of you when I'm not around," said Anna who subconsciously shared her feelings.

She didn't know why, but there was something about Sarah that made her feel comfortable and that could tell that woman her troubles.

"Don't worry. Although Steve seems easy to get along with other people, he is a loyal man," Sarah said softly with a smile, trying to calm Anna. "If he does that later, I'll help you beat him up."

Anna laughed lightly at that. Her heart was relieved.

"I'm glad I got to talk to you. You turned out to be a good woman," said Anna sincerely.

To be honest, she had thought bad things about Sarah because she was always among the men she loved. First Michael, then now Steve. She even thought that she hated her so much and then went after the man she loves?

But it turns out she was completely wrong. Sarah is a good woman.

Sarah smiled at that, then took back her teacup and looked out the window at the view of the city illuminated by the afternoon sun.

Seeing that, Anna also did the same, looking at the scenery outside.

Sarah then suddenly turned around and turned to Anna.

"Can I ask you something?" Sarah asked suddenly after the silence between the two of them.

Anna turned and looked at the woman then nodded.

"Did you call off your engagement to Michael because of me?"

Anna's forehead immediately furrowed when she heard that question.

"Engagement?" asked Anna with raised eyebrows. "What engagement?"

Sarah's expression looked very confused when she saw Anna's expression.

"Aren't you engaged to Michael? Before Michael had an accident and didn't remember you?" Sarah asked again.

She still vividly remembers when Mrs. Collins came to see her and told her to explain what had happened to Anna, and she said that Anna was Michael's fiancé.

"What are you talking about?" asked Anna confusedly. "Michael and I were dating, but we're not engaged. Our relationship at that time was probably only about two months."

Sarah's expression was still confused.

"Where did you hear that from?" Anna asked when she saw that Sarah didn't believe her at all.

"From Mrs Collins," Sarah answered.

Anna's eyes immediately widened and her mouth opened slightly before she immediately covered her mouth with her hand.

"Wow… really, that old woman is really scary. I got goosebumps! It's a good thing she's not my mother-in-law!" said Anna who was really surprised. She had no idea Mrs Collins would go that far.

"Michael and I did plan to get married. Well… you know, business marriage, but we both agreed to get to know each other first and date. We're not engaged at all!" Anna continued explaining her situation with Michael back then.

Meanwhile, Sarah just kept quiet with her mouth slightly open. All this time she thought she didn't want to hurt Anna any further because she was Michael's fiancé. She even rejected Michael at that time and didn't tell him about her pregnancy because she thought he was engaged to Anna.

But it turned out to be all just Mrs Collins's lies?
