Cohabitation With My Ex-Husband

Anna immediately cleared her throat, trying to control her facial expression, and her heart so it wouldn't beat fast. What if the man could hear it? This is embarrassing!

"Thank you," answered Anna curtly, then took the bottle and put it in her bag.

"You can drink it right away. Ah! You don't have drinking water? You can drink it without the need for water though, wait a moment," Steve said then immediately stood up and went to the counter to buy water.

Anna followed the man who left without waiting for an answer from her, he really wasn't her type at all, but why was her heart fluttering like that?

Anna could only sigh, it seemed she didn't know herself very well.

Not long after, Steve finally came back with a bottle of mineral water and placed it on the table. He then sat back down and looked at Anna.

"Okay, I'll drink it," said Anna finally took the bottle again and drank it. How could she not drink it if the man kept looking at her with those blue eyes?

Steve smiled when he saw the woman finally taking her hangover cure, his face looked happy, like a doctor smiling to see his patient finally taking his medication.

"Oh yeah, why are you wearing sunglasses?" Steve asked curiously.

He didn't mind that at all, but he wondered why Anna was still wearing it when they were in a room.

Anna's face looked surprised when she heard Steve's question, as if what Steve said was something unnatural.

"You really don't recognize me?" asked Anna, a little surprised.

She thought Steve approached her last night because he recognized her, but it seemed that once again her thoughts were wrong.

Steve's eyebrows raised up, his expression looked confused.

"I know you are a model and Dinda's friend, but I don't know your name," Steve said honestly.

Anna sighed, it seemed this man wasn't really interested in fashion so he didn't know her.

"I'm Anna Moss, it's a bit embarrassing to say this myself, but I'm a very famous supermodel. You can find information about me on the internet. My payment is even a little more expensive than Dinda," said Anna introducing herself, her voice sounding low, afraid that someone would hear them.

However, there was a hint of pride in her voice..

Steve just rounded his mouth when he heard that, then took out his cellphone and searched for Anna's name on the internet, his eyes slightly opened when he saw the information on that woman on the internet, it seemed she was really famous.

To be honest, Steve also only knew that Dinda's job was modeling, but he didn't know that she was a supermodel.

"So that's why you're wearing sunglasses, afraid someone will recognize you," Steve said, nodding his head.

"But why did you want to meet me for lunch? I have to admit you're really great, I'm still feeling nauseous and haven't dared to eat anything right now," Steve continued curiously. He then suddenly leaned forward.

"Or… you came to me because you remembered something?" Steve asked with a mischievous smile.

This wasn't his first meeting with the woman and Steve was starting to feel close to her, so he wanted to throw a joke like he always does to his friend.

"Yeah, I remember something. You kissed me," Anna said with a flat expression then took the bottle of her drink and took a sip. She did that on purpose to avoid eye contact with the man.

Steve blinked his eyes, before finally putting on a look of disbelief on his face.

"Wow… really, I can't believe you said something like that after what you did!" Steve said with a facial expression like someone who had just been accused of stealing when the one who stole was the one who accused him.

Anna tried to keep her expression from laughing at the man's expression.

"Then why didn't you tell me?" she asked.

"Eh?"

"I kissed you. Why didn't you tell me that?" asked Anna, repeating her question.

Steve fell silent hearing the question, the woman in front of him managed to make him speechless. Why does she look so confident like that?

Steve's right hand then went up and touched the back of his head which didn't itch at all.

"Well… because I think it was the best decision. You definitely won't believe me and it's better if you remember it yourself," Steve said looking serious when he explained it.

That woman looks like she really hates men, moreover she went through something bad, her ex-boyfriend married her friend and she had to come to their wedding! So he better not say anything about the woman kissing him.

"Wait… so you came here because of that? To make sure that you really kissed me?" Steve asked, his lips forming a wide smile as he said that.

Anna snorted, not liking the man's expression.

Steve finally laughed, she didn't need to explain, but her expression was very clear.

"Don't fall in love with me," Steve said suddenly seriously, making Anna, who had been silent, react to hearing that.

"I know it's hard not to fall in love with a man like me, but right now I like someone. If you want, we can be friends and meet up a few times to eat together," Steve continued explaining.

She seemed to hate men because of what happened to her, and Steve didn't want him to be the reason she would hate men so much, so he better set clear boundaries.

After all, what he said was not wrong at all, there was another woman he loved right now.

He knew that by now he should have forgotten about Sarah, but his feelings just couldn't go away, even though he had seen that she was in another's arms.

Sarah was just pretending because her ex-husband had amnesia, and Steve wanted to wait for her. He was sure he would get his happy ending if he waited for Sarah.

Anna was speechless when she heard Steve's explanation, her mouth slightly open in disbelief.

"That should be my line! You better not fall in love with me! Wow… I came here because I wanted to apologize for thinking bad things about you, but I didn't expect that you turned out to be a man like this!" said Anna then snorted.

This man really wasn't her type at all!

Steve just laughed and then looked at his watch, looks like he has to get back to work.

"By the way, I have to get back," Steve said with an uncomfortable expression on his face. He still wanted to talk to this woman, but the situation didn't allow him to do so.

Anna was silent when she heard that, her face looked a little sad. Even though he was annoying, spending time with him wasn't bad at all.

"Let's meet and have a meal together sometime. I'll treat you," Steve said and stood up from his seat.

This woman had come to see him and he didn't even get to have lunch with her, which made Steve uncomfortable and decided to invite her for a meal when the time was right..

Anna was silent for a moment, before finally nodding slowly.

Even though he clearly drew a line between them, they can still be friends, right? So Anna felt it was okay to meet the man again.

***

Meanwhile…

Michael was seen busy in his office room, his mouth seemed to move, reading the report he was reading, while his eyes seemed to focus on reading the numbers written there.

Michael's focus finally loosened when he heard someone knocking on his door, causing him to look away from the document and stare at the door.

"Come in," said Michael.

The door then opened, the figure of James carrying folders came in and immediately walked over to Michael.

"You're not going to lunch?" Michael asked with a slightly surprised face when he saw James coming in.

It was time for lunch but Michael wanted to finish what he was reading before he finally decided to eat.

"You look really busy, doesn't that mean I'm busy too?" James asked, his face looking very tired. It's even still half a day but he's already very busy.

Michael just smiled at James, today they are really busy, even though it's Tuesday.

James then put what he had brought on the table.

"This needs your approval immediately," said James then remained standing in front of Michael.

Michael immediately opened the folder, read what was in it at a glance and then immediately gave his sign. There were four documents he had to sign, it seemed they had deliberately collected them and given it to James.

"Why don't you give it away?" asked Michael confusedly when he saw there was a brown envelope that was still being held by James.

James then cleared his throat and placed it on the table.

"This is the information you asked for," said James.

Michael raised an eyebrow, a confused expression on his face.

"What information?" Michael asked, but his hand still reached for the brown envelope.

"That is information about Elizabeth."
