Chapter 314 NEW DEAL
1582words
Kate's action last night sure did shift something in Anna even if she hadn't said a thing. At least now she knows her Aunt hated her for real, and it's time she stops being a stomping bag to these people and actually out then in their place. She would deal with Kate, but not directly. In other to get to Kate, she would have to deal with Nari.
"Miss Sui, just in time." Ashley said walking up to her with the brightest smile on his lips. He was happy to be working for 'THEE ANNA SUI'.
It is I deed a privilege to be working with her. He smiled as she approached them gracefully. "We have a photoshoot immediately after your press conference to address the issues online." Ashley said taking her bag from her.
"What press conference?" Anna asked as she walked towards her car. She turned to a section of the building and her eyes met with her aunt's. Both women stared at each other. Kate's eyes were brewing hate, an undescribable hate and Anna smiled.
She would deal with her so badly for trying to kill her. She had thought whatever fight or feud they had before was all a misunderstanding, but she was wrong. Kate hates her, and would rather kill sher thanet her leave.
"The company we are meant to cosign with decided to come all the way to Summerlane for the photoshoot. They paid a lot, we need to bring out A game for this." Ashley's words distracted her and she moved her eyes to his.
Gine are the days she still consider her enemies families. Just like her hubby, she would keep her enemies close, eliminate the threats in other to live a happy life.
"I know." Came Anna's reply as she walked into the car. It didn't take long before the car zoomed off.
At exactly 10:30am, a black Prado arrived at the entrance to the prominent H- Entertainment hall where all of the important reporters were gathered and waiting for the special guest and new diamond to arrive. The news of Anna's death had moved around the city like plague as everyone thought she was either dead or injured due to the accident.
Anna and her team stepped out of the car and walked inside the building. She headed straight to her dressing room, "We have only twenty five minutes before the conference meeting." Anna nodded at Ashley's words as she started to change her outfit and hair into something a celebrity would wear.
Her dress looked so simple, yet so elegant. Everyone was waiting on their screen for Anna Sui to arrive, including her enemies and Nari. The world wanted her to address the issue. Nari stared at her screen in disdain. This could have been her if she had met Noah first.
Anna's lifestyle right now is only what she could wish for. There's no way in this life or the next that Mack will ever be able to match Noah. He can never and will never.
At exactly five minutes to the time, Anna walked into the hall. Her plan was not to answer questions from the reporters, she would only address the accident issue online and go about her way. No matter how popular she wished to be, she hated being caught in drama.
"ANNA SUI!" The crowd erupted the moment they saw her. She was in a simple white dress, her crown sitting on her head to remind everyone she's the diamond of the season. The most sorted out model in the world right now. Though filled with so much problem and challenges from her career and family, Anna still smiled gracefully before the camera.
It is one thing about celebrity lifestyle. You hide your human form and problem and appear different and perfect before the judging eyes of people who would still find something negative to say.
"Anna Sui how did you survive your crash last night yet your guards didn't?" Questions already started flying from one reporter to another as everyone was astonished to see her.
"ANNA SUI SURVIVED THE GHASTLY CAR ACCIDENT MYSTERIOUSLY LAST NIGHT', was the new headline flying from one corner to another as everyone started analyzing her surviver without waiting for your to speak.
It lead many people into thinking one thing, ANNA SUI NEW CULT EXPLAINED...
ANNA SUI USED HER SECURITIES AS THE NEW PRICE TO PAY FOR HER NEW CULT AFTER HER GRANDFATHER, EXPLAINED'.
"Hello everyone." Anna began and the noise reduced as everyone listened to her explanation. Ashley had asked her to put on a sympathetic expression, that's why she didn't bother dressing too much for the occasion. She was mourning her guards, the same men who have protected her since she met Noah.
"I'm so sorry for not addressing this before. My team wanted an open later on all of my social media accounts but I decided a press conference to at least honour the dead. The same people that have fought and protected me from the begining of my career. I am truly so sorry for the lives lost because of me." Anna said with her head faced down.
"I haven't been able to sleep, or eat, or do anything since the news. I've been so devastated and..." She paused as Ashley hurried to her side to pass a white kerchief to her.
"Awwww." The crowd said. No one has ever seen Anna Sui cry in public before and right now she looked so pitiful and cute. Everyone pitied Anna again that made them defend her from all of the allegations rather than spread such information.
Anna has been through so much while still conquering and winning. The young ladies were more than proud of her and her accomplishments.
"So I hope I've been able to clear this misunderstanding." Anna said and every reporter in there quickly agreed with her except one. The one sent in by someone. He advanced man stared at the girl.
"Moving on from that subject Anna Sui. Are you also going to address your other issues, we're talking about the issue with your newly adopted sister Nari." He said loud and clear for everyone to stop speaking as all eyes were back on Anna. The camera men flashed their cameras on her to capture any news. Any facial expression can cause a new narrative about her.
Anna's face was neutral, "Are you happy with Nari being married to Mack Yong?" The man kept throwing more questions and before he could do more...
"This is where I would end this everyone. Till another time." Anna started walking away. The guards Noah had positioned around the place all escorted her out. He must have lost guards just last night, but it didn't mean he didn't have more to protect his wife.
"Are you alright, that was chaotic?" Ashley asked his new miss to see her smile. It's not the first time she's done this, but she understood his fear. You can never get used to reporters throwing different questions at you.
"I learnt from a special professional to always be quiet rather than saying things not intended." Anna said. She had already passed her sympathy messages around that should be enough.
"Let's hurry for the shoot, everyone is waiting." Ashley said as he helped her into the car and stepped in too.
Anna arrived at the company for her shoot finally, she stepped out of the car and headed for the building.
"Anna." Lola's voice rang from behind and to Anna's surprise she saw her manager heading towards her. "What are you doing here?" Anna asked. Lola had told her she was heading back to Eclipse this afternoon, right before her conference meeting.
"First off congratulations on your successful conference today Anna." Lola said to see Anna smile.
"Did you see what Lee had to say about you?" Lola asked and Anna shook her head. She recalled him talking about her owing their entertainment company a one year service. Anna clicked her tongue, she had told Noah she would handle this alone too but she had forgotten about him.
He was the same man that rejected her when she wanted to come back, but was quick to reaccept Nari's deal even if her image has been destroyed to badly by the media.
"What about him?" Anna asked with a frown.
"There is really no way out. He reached out to me and showed me the contracts from before. You really did sign your life away, it's a good thing you only have a year to pay him back Anna." Lola said.
"I'll rather go to court with him. I will never work for him." Anna declared.
"It's not something you can reject Anna. Lee doesn't want money, he wants you. It's only for a year Anna, according to the new deal I agreed to, you will be working for him too but just for three months. I reduced it for three months just for you." Lola said.
If what Lola says appear to be true, then it only means, Anna will be tied to Nari's name for a while because that is also Nari and Mack's entertainment company.
