Chapter 404 Meeting Natalie

Not in the mood to hear such remarks from Nicholas, I frostily told him to leave.

After he left, I lay on the couch alone, my irritation mounting. Despite being dead on my feet after working for the entire day, I did not feel the least bit sleepy at that moment.

As expected, I had dark circles under my eyes when I woke up the next day. Gazing at my reflection in the mirror, I could not help but chuckle derisively at my haggard look.

I quickly applied some light makeup to conceal the dark circles, after which I appeared much more rejuvenated.

Then, I went out to buy breakfast. There was a street lined with stalls selling breakfast fare near my apartment, so it was very convenient for me.

Since I was not particular about food, I simply bought something. Just as I was going to leave after paying, a familiar voice rang out behind me.

“Anna?”

That voice was touched with uncertainty and a faint hint of delight.

Hearing Natalie’s voice again after a year, I, too, became emotional.

I turned around and cast my gaze in the direction of the voice. Sure enough, I caught sight of Natalie. At that moment, she was holding Yuval’s arm, her gaze fixed on my face.

“It’s been a long time, Natalie.”

The instant I saw that it was indeed Natalie, a soft smile bloomed on my face. She was my best friend, so my eyes stung when I saw her once more.

When I left back then, I was in such despair that I did not even tell her where I was going.

“It’s really you, Anna!”

Having ascertained that it was me, Natalie hurried over and hugged me.
