Chapter 63 REPORTERS 2
1622words
There was no way in or out of the salon. The salon was immediately shut down with immediate effect.
"What do we do now Anna?" Janjan asked. She has never seen anything like this before. More than a hundred reporters stood outside waiting and calling Anna's name.
"How did they even know we were here?" Janjan asked.
"It must have been from the videos spreading around," Anna said. Then she turned to Malcolm, "Are you sure there's no way out?" She asked to see him shake his head.
"There's a back door but the car is far from it, I don't also want to draw more attention to that place." He explained and Anna nodded.
It is her fault, she would have left the moment that girl caused trouble, and no one would trace them here.
"How long do you think they'll be here?" Worried Janjan asked already freaking out.
"They won't leave until they see me. Even if it takes until tomorrow." Anna responded staring out the door. The security personnel holding down the reporters looked exhausted. They aren't enough to hold such a crowd.
Just as Anna stayed in the salon, Seven black cars entered the vicinity headed for the back of the salon. As the car stopped, Noah stepped out with Paul behind him as well as his bodyguards.
There were more than twenty men in an all-black attire standing by the door clearing the space for their boss to step in.
Noah had a frown on his face, he could already imagine how scared his wife would be. He was upset that these people were disturbing her, but what got him more upset was the fact that his wife couldn't even call him in a situation like this. If Paul hadn't called to know, he wouldn't even know.
Did she think she could handle this alone?
What did she have him for if she won't tell him when she has troubles?
He held a coat in his arms adjusting his face mask as he stepped in through the back door.
"Anna." Anna turned her head at the familiar voice that called and her eyes turned wide. Even if he was wearing a mask she knew who it was. So did Janjan who suddenly frowned.
"What are you doing here?" Janjan glared at him, but Mack ignored her. When he saw the news, he saw this as a perfect opportunity to get his woman back. Mack had been the one to give the reporters and paparazzi her location.
He asked them to bring a few reporters and paparazzi, but he didn't know it would become something else.
"Please come with me Anna, let's leave before they break into this place." He adjusted his mask and gave her an outfit to change into.
"You can go, I'm not leaving with you." Anna returned the outfit. The last thing she wanted was to be caught in another frenzy with this man. Mack was the last person she wanted to talk to or speak to.
"This is not the time to hate me or think of what happened in the past. I know you're still mad at me my sweetheart, we can talk about that later. For now, let's get you to safety." He said.
"I'm not your sweetheart Mack, stay away from me. I can manage myself." She eyed him.
Mack didn't know how to persuade her anymore, he turned frustrated. He knew Anna was stubborn, but he didn't know she was this stubborn.
"Jennie, I know you love your best friend and wouldn't want anything bad to happen to her. Tell her to stop being stubborn and come with me. If we don't leave now things might go south with these reporters." He said and Jennie saw reasoning in what he said. She turned to Anna who didn't even bulge at Mack's words.
"Anna he's right."
"Don't even go there Janjan." Anna shunned her. She knew Mack and his sweet words more than anyone and she wouldn't fall for it for a second time. He was good at coercing people and deceiving them into doing what he wanted.
She wondered how he even got past those paparazzi and reporters in the first place. How did he even know her location?
Why was he here right now?
"Anna, if we don't leave with him think of what will happen to you in those reporters' hands. If you're scared of being hurt, don't worry I'm here with you, and so are your bodyguards." Janjan tried to reason with her friend.
"She's right Madam, we need to leave as quickly as possible," Malcolm said. All he wanted was to protect his madam like his master wanted.
If anything happened to Anna today, Noah wouldn't think twice before killing him and he knew.
"Please Anna, it's for your good." When Mack saw the picture of Anna with another man, it angered him. If he knew who that man was, he would have eliminated him from the surface of earth. Then, another thought came to him.
What if Anna was doing all of these to get his attention?
What if she wants him back but is waiting for him to beg?
She's only just playing hard to get but deep down she wants him back.
"You'll have to change your outfit so that no one recognizes you." Mack gave her clothes again.
"I haven't agreed yet."
"You don't have a choice." He stood next to her his eyes trailing down her smooth skin. Just how did he never see how beautiful this woman was and why did he lose her to Nari?
At that time he felt indebted to Nari for saving his life in the past that he had lost a beautiful and caring woman like Anna. He could now see why his father wanted him to marry her so badly and he won't let his father down this time.
"What happened to your hand?" His fingers grazed her skin and in the next moment, Mack felt a hard surface come in contact with his wrist and Mack yelled holding his almost broken wrist.
Anna who was standing next to Mack with a black cloth in her hands dropped it and went ahead to hug Noah. She was glad to see him here.
Noah's eyes roamed around her, "Are you alright?" He leaves this little woman for one day and then there are pests lurking around her. He didn't know how many times he had to tell these people to leave her alone.
Maybe it's about time he announces that she is his and finally put his ring on her fingers so that they can stay clear. He stared at her hands that stupid fool had touched, he leaned towards that area, removed his mask only to kiss it.
Anna whose body has just been kissed by Noah froze. What was he doing before so many people?
"N... Noah." She called his name to hear him groan slightly before biting that spot but not enough to draw out blood.
Noah's jealousy was what scared her the most. He just didn't know how to control his anger when jealous and then embarrass her, just like he's doing now.
Anna yelped at the sting she felt but her cry sounded more like a moan and Janjan who was standing there staring at her red friend blushed too. She tried so hard to hold her giggle. Noah wore his mask and raised his head.
Mack who was in pain scoffed at the action. So the man the paparazzi had captured wasn't a scheme of Anna's game plan, he is real?
Has she moved on?
Did she no longer love him?
"I wouldn't want to warn you twice to stay away from my women." Noah turned to Mack with a voice as cold as ice causing the other people in there to shiver.
He turned to his wife, the black eyes that were once cold had now turned warm as he stared at her. He wore her the coat he had brought and a face mask.
"I'm so mad at you my sweet girl." He murmured and Anna gulped.
"Let's go." Held her hands and took her away.
Paul who had not worn any face mask as he never thought he would see anyone quickly grabbed Janjan's bandanna to cover his face before picking up his boss's damaged cell phone.
As they stepped out of the salon, reporters were already at the back waiting for them. They were all so eager to capture a moment with Anna or speak to her, but Noah's bodyguards didn't let them in.
When Anna and Noah stepped out, the crowd erupted, and screams could be heard. They all started calling her name, chanting and screaming to get at least an ounce of attention while also trying to know the wealthy man that has caused traffic tonight just to save Anna Sui from the hands of Paparazzi and reporters.
They took pictures of them walking together and the way the strange man held her protectively.
"Anna Sui, is it true you stole someone's boyfriend?"
"Anna, when will you be returning to the industry fully?" Questions flew through every corner but Anna didn't answer any.
The guards opened the door for their madam and she stepped in along with Noah and Janjan who sat in the passenger seat.
Paul frowned at the girl who had taken his place and then went over to the next car. In no time, they all drive out of there.
