Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

483 Meeting the Murderer

“It seems you've looked into me," Bill spoke calmly. He didn’t deny it, nor did he appear surprised.

"Not too much. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have had the opportunity to call me," Anna snorted

The lighter made a crisp sound as Bill lit the cigarette. He took a long drag on his cigarette before saying, "I have what you're looking for. In thirty minutes. I'll be downstairs at your office.”

Anna was taken by surprise. Because she was wary of him, she did not say yes immediately.

Bill smiled as he noticed her hesitation and asked, "Are you worried about what | might do to you? You were not a coward when you followed me back then"

Hearing that, Anna remembered him telling her the other day that someone had vandalized the school bus.

"Okay, III see you later," Anna said, increasingly curious about what Bill intended to do.

After hanging up the phone, Anna didn't return to the stage. Instead, she snuck out of the side door. While driving to Lemon's office, she received a phone call from Nancy.

"Anna, you've got to be kidding me! The final results will be announced soon! Where the hell are you?"

"The competition is over, and the outcome is set in stone. Is it important whether I'm present or not?"

Nancy yelled angrily, "I've been helping you since you got there! 482 Meeting the Murderer ol Anna, you didn’t even thank me for it! If you win the prize, who will accept it on stage for you?"

Anna said with a smile, "Of course, it would be you. Since you helped me in the beginning, you should help me to the end. You'll have to do that for me because | set you up with Joshua.”
