Unexpected Love: One Night With Mr CEO

Chapter 44 - 44. Mysterious Help



"Okay, you can go now," said Devan.

"Thank you, sir," Anna replied slowly and then left the room with a racing heart.

After Anna leave, Devan took his cell phone, and then called someone.

"How?" Mino asked right after seeing Anna come out of the elevator.

With a big smile, Anna slightly tilted her body so that Mino could see the small backpack she was wearing.

"Good," said the man.

Anna just nodded, "The leader is still in his room," said Anna and managed to make Mino who started walking suddenly turn around, giving the woman a questioning look.

"Did I hear wrong?"

"Huh?"

"You said earlier that the Leader was still in his room?"

"I did say it, why?"

"Anna, how could you take…"

"Just take it and get out of there," Anna interrupted immediately as if she knew what the man was going to say next.

"No, I mean did the Leader see you? What did he say?"

"Huh?"

"He didn't say anything to you?"

"Why do you react like that?" asked Anna.

"I heard rumors that the leader of this company is so cruel and so cold, not only that, many employees from various divisions were fired just because of a small mistake they accidentally made. "Is it true that he didn't say anything to you? He didn't fire you, did he?" Mino asked with a worried face.

"No, he just asked me to tidy up his desk and then leave," replied Anna, shaking her head.

"Really? That's all?"

Anna nodded, "I don't think he's as cruel as you say, Mino."

"Huh? Are the rumors false?"

"Don't judge someone just by the rumors circulating, Mino."

"You're right, hahaha. So how about it? Want to go home now?"

"Of course, there's no way I spend the night here," replied Anna.

Hearing that, Mino laughed loudly, then hugged Anna casually, "Come on."

"Let go, Mino. People will misunderstand when they see the two of us," said Anna trying to remove the man's hand that had wrapped his arm around her neck.

"Rather than a misunderstanding, maybe they'll think we're brothers, hahaha. Look, you're so short and so small, after all, it's quiet, there's no one around here anymore" Mino replied laughing.

Anna just sighed roughly, "Ahh, it's up to you," she replied.

They didn't notice that a pair of eyes were watching them closely, "Don't they think I'm a 'person?" The man's monologue did not take his eyes off Anna.

"On your first day on the job, it turns out that you've attracted the attention of men, Anna," he muttered again, still in his position observing the two figures walking towards the main door of the building.

"The door's over there, Mino, where are you going?" asked Anna with a furrowed brow.

"It's okay, no one will be angry. All the employees have also gone home," replied Mino, continuing his steps.

Again, Anna could only surrender. Mino had previously told her that cleaning services like them were not allowed to pass through the main door during office hours. And it's already past the allotted time, so it probably won't be a problem.

Just past the door, the cell phone suddenly rang. Mino immediately reached into his pants pocket.

"Anna, wait a minute, I'll answer the call first," said Mino slightly away from Anna.

The woman just nodded, waiting for the man to finish his affairs. Until a few minutes later, for some reason, she felt as if she was being watched by someone. She immediately looked left and right, looked in all directions but couldn't find anyone suspicious.

'Ah, maybe it's just my feelings.'

"Anna looks like you'll have to go home alone," Mino said after ending the call and approached the woman again.

"Did something happen?"

"My mother is in the hospital, and I have to go there now," Mino replied with a worried look on his face.

"Do you want me to accompany you?" offered Anna.

"No need, I can do it. You'd better go home. You must be really tired considering it's your first day on the job."

"Okay. Be careful on the road. Thank you for waiting for me earlier," replied Anna.

"Okay. I'm going," said Mino immediately while waving his hand.

Seeing that, Anna only responded with a nod, smiling faintly.

The time has entered the end of the day, the clear sky is slowly replaced by the night. Walking down the curb alone, Anna headed to the bus stop. The step is neither slow nor fast.

It felt like the day was going by very slowly, "What do you think Dave is doing right now?" her monologue suddenly remembered her beloved son.

Glancing at the clock in her hand, Anna quickened her pace. The bus will be here soon.

Checking the contents of her bag, Anna suddenly froze. How could she forget to ask Clarissa for replacing her money? All of the money she had spent to pay for the taxi this morning. And now she has no money.

"How about my condition now?" Anna fidgeted, rummaging through her purse looking for if there was any money tucked away, but to no avail.

It looks like she has to walk home now. Thinking about how far the house was, she took a deep breath.

The bus she was waiting for had just arrived at the bus stop, only Anna was still sitting in her place without moving a bit while watching people enter the bus leaving her alone.

As the bus disappeared from Anna's sight, she slowly stood up from her seat. Began to walk unsteadily down the side of the road.

"Sister..." suddenly a child in her mid-twenties approached her and quickly stood in her way.

"Yes, can I help you?" asked Anna with a furrowed brow, because this was the first time she had met the young teenager.

"This is for you," said the child as he handed over a hundred thousand notes.

"Huh?"

"This is for you," said the boy again, taking Anna's hand and placing the money there.

"But…"

"Someone asked me to give this to you," the child interrupted immediately as if knowing what Anna was going to say next.

"Someone? Who is?"

"That man over there..." he said while pointing behind Anna.

"Eh… where is that guy?" He added again when he couldn't find the person he was referring to.

"Who are you talking about?" asked Anna still not able to properly digest what the boy said.

"Alright, anyway this money is for you. I'll go first, my friends are waiting," replied the boy immediately left, entered a gang, and disappeared there.

Staring confusedly at the cash in her hand, Anna then turned her head and looked around in all directions. Like being in a dream, suddenly getting money from someone she doesn't even know what she looks like.

"Whoever you are, thank you," she muttered then returned to her previous terminal. Waiting for a taxi that might pass.

She never stopped thanking from the bottom of her heart.. She never thought she would get help from someone she didn't know.
